Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Couple-like-cheats.

∘⁠˚⁠°⁠。⁠☆*⁠.⁠✧∘⁠˚⁠°⁠。✩Couple Like Cheats.

The program was yet to begin. As evening clicked, uninvited reporters and journalists were standing outside, ready to bombard celebrities with questions as soon as they stepped out of their cars. 

Models and top artists walked elegantly down the red carpet leading to the interior and dropped their autographs on the autograph boards, driving so many fans who were watching the live stream crazy.

The space and property was restricted so the fans weren't allowed in. Most stayed behind at home to watch it on a live stream. 

Different cars from different brands filled the lively compound. It was just a yearly gathering and distribution of awards to the Moon Shade Models, usually the top seniors of the entire Twilight Zone Models. As usual the professional reporters were invited, flashing cameras and taking pictures, writing reports and patiently waiting for an interesting topic to stir the netizens and socialites. 

A black sports car stopped in front of the hotel and the press, who were rushing questions on the model who just lost last year, K.K Bee, left her behind to meet Gabriella Wills.

"Miss Will, are you looking forward to getting the award this year? You lost last year and went home with nothing, disappointing all your fans" 

"Miss Will isn't wearing her modelling brand today, ma'am, what do you have to say to this?" 

"Ma'am, what would you like to say to your fans who are watching this live stream? Are you going to make it up to them or disappoint them once again?" 

"Move! Move! Make way ....." Her manager yelled, creating cover for her.

"Miss Will!" 

Gabriella Wills stopped in her tracks when she passed beside K.K Bee and sneered. " You've really got huge guts, Kenny. Wasn't last year's disgrace enough?" 

"I'm looking forward to yours this year, Gab." Kenny replied coldly before walking into the hall where everywhere was organized. Free of annoying reporters and enough space to avoid mosquitoes like Gabriella.

The reporters stood outside waiting for more people to question. Why aren't Maybel Storms and Mariam Percey here yet? Even the top male model, Jordan Knox, wasn't here yet.

Another car drove in, it was a red Maybach car. Everyone knew who that signature red drip belonged to, Jordan Knox. Talking of the devil.

Immediately he stepped out of his car, his personal bodyguards surrounded him from the wild reporters. All the reporters from every angle covered him.

Everywhere became noisy. This year, he's wearing a golden suit with his styled hair dyed red as usual. It surprised the reporters to see him in a golden suit and not red. They tried forcing their way through but the famous man had strong, tough and aggressive bodyguards.

"Sir Knox, what's your relationship with Jenny Smith?" 

The reporter asking the question didn't bring it up from what happened in the recent but from unresolved and unanswered suspicions that rose earlier that year between Jenny Smith, an actress and Jordan Knox, a model who is also an actor.

Questions rose about the two being in a relationship after being spotted at various places together, either holding hands or doing other things but still the two kept on denying the obvious.

"Mr Knox, the fans are crazy and want to know something, just say something. What's going on between you two?" Another reporter asked and just like that, the reporters switched to that forbidden topic he doesn't want to talk about.

"Tell us something, Mr Knox!" 

The reporters weren't happy, they weren't getting any reply. Where are their most savage top models? They know fully well the program won't end without the two lashing out on each other.

The reporters were the craziest ones, not the fans. They wanted to get one or two replies from Jordan Knox. They didn't give up and hurriedly went in before they could be stopped but we're all dragged out not too long after.

Many other celebrities and models arrived afterward, luckily for them, Jordan Knox *the smelly man who attracted the flies* already drove the attention of the reporters away from them.

Not too long after, a white Rolls Royce stopped and the chauffeur opened the door to the car. The first to step out of the car was Henry Williams, the CEO of White Stone Corporation and the successor of most of the Williams properties.

Everyone expected Mariam Percey next but to their utmost shock, it's Maybel Storms who stepped out of the car. Mariam Percey's sworn enemy in all aspects. What's going on?

Months ago, Mariam Percey and Henry Williams attended the celebrity night together and now Maybel is in the picture. They are even dressed in matching outfits, white tuxedo, white dress and their blonde hair thing was top notch.

A sweet smile broke on Maybel's bold red lips and she locked her arms in his and rested her head on his shoulder. 

The reporters sped up to them like a bolt of lightning and started to ask their questions.

"CEO Williams, have you and Mariam Percey broken up?Why is your next choice her rival?" 

"Maybel storms, what do you have to say about this confusion? Are the both of you in a relationship?"

Unlike the others, this model did have a lot of things to say to the hungry reporters. She nodded her head briefly while looking deep into Henry's face. "We are." She voiced.

Her voice was cool and sharp like a thin breeze carrying varying chills.

"How long have you been in a relationship sir, when did you and Mariam Percey break up?"

Unlike Maybel who had a lot to say, Henry remained still, not saying anything. He hated the crowds and the reporters were always the one who triggered it to the next level but this time around, he was ready to endure just for the sake of the woman beside him.

"Why is Miss Storms with you? This isn't right, it should be Mariam Percey. CEO Williams please say something."

The reporters were unwilling to let the two go without answering more of their questions. Because the White Rolls Royce was stuck in there, the next car in line couldn't move in.

A dark brown Lamborghini, stopped behind the car surrounded by reporters.

"What's wrong ?" Mariam asked the driver. Her focus was not shifting from her phone as her eyes were fixed on the video she was watching.

"I'll check now ma'am." After a while, he came back. " I'm afraid we'll have to stop here for now, there's a huge collision. I pity those new couples the reporters are bombarding with questions." Mr Austin sighed , resting comfortably on the seat.

" We'll move once the reporters set them free." Mariam concluded and Mr Austin nodded. She knew very well it would take a while, that would be enough for her to complete the episode she's watching.

The reporters were so busy asking questions from the couple-like-cheats they didn't have much time for the unknown person in the brown Lamborghini.

Naomi impatiently checked her wrist watch. "It's been fifteen minutes already. Let's join in, Mr Austin will deal with the rest." She voiced.

Mariam nodded lazily, her finger unwillingly put the movie to a pause. "I guess those couples really have a lot of talking to do." She said switching off her phone and dipping it into her purse. Mr Austin pressed a button and the winged doors opened.

The first to step out was Naomi to ensure it was safe and free from violent reporters.

"Isn't that Naomi Bill, Miss Percey's manager." One of the reporters exclaimed with interest.

"Good!" Another reporter exclaimed. "Miss Percey is here as well "

Some of the reporters immediately rushed to the two as soon as Mariam stepped out and the door got closed. The red above knee length fitted dress hugging her round, soft and curvy body perfectly. 

She had matching red thin heels and a red purse. Her long hair was now straightened and allowed to fall freely behind her, it was held with a tiny band to the back. She looked simple yet elegant and beautiful. Her lips were tinted rosewood giving her a distinctive beauty.

Maybel smiled in satisfaction as Mariam's arrival was announced. She glanced at Henry who didn't appear wavered by the announcement. 

"Miss Percey, what do you have to say about Henry Williams and Maybel Storms' relationship?" 

Mariam was stunned with the question that welcomed her. Naomi and Mr Austin were no exception to the shock. Although Mr Austin was just a simple chauffeur, he had taken the two out together before and saw how real the two were with each other. Not to talk of Naomi who had not seen less of the affection the two showed.

Henry Williams, her boyfriend and the father of her 

a negative-positive child is with her rival, Maybel Storms? Her forever is going to be an enemy.

"Miss Percey, when did you guys break up?" 

"Miss Percey, why are you alone this time and not with CEO Williams? Did you two have a serious argument? Is he trying to make you jealous?"

"Miss Percey...

"Miss Percey....

"Miss Percey....

Her mind was fading and blanking out like an empty street. What exactly is going on? .
