Chapter 33

I feel like I really want to cry because I feel that he is pulling my hair very tightly and anytime my scalp will tear.

"Are you deaf? I said, let go of her!" Darren shouted loudly. Everyone here is focused on us, but for reasons I don't know, the security guards are not in their positions to even prevent this incident.

"What if I don't?" the woman asked challengingly while pulling my hair towards her. I put my hand on my head but he just hit it causing me to get hurt even more.

Using my peripheral eyes, I saw Darren's face darkening and his aura darkened a bit while the reporters didn't even stop because they just kept on getting the camera.

The guests, on the other hand, remain in shock because of what happened.

"I'm gonna start counting..." Darren asked defiantly while looking at the girl.

But the woman just ignored him and laughed.

"One ..."

"Two..."

"Three..." and because of the speed of the incident, I was shocked because the woman had already landed. I was stunned to see the woman almost lying on the floor with blood on the side of her lips.

He wiped it for a moment and gave Darren a bad look which made me look at Darren who saw that his fist was clenched and he was ready to punch the female reporter at any moment.

"How do you know that I can sew you because of what you did?" the woman threatened Darren but Darren just looked at her bored, Darren approached me and once fixed my messy hair and the rest he pinned behind my ear.

I just silently looked at him while he was doing that.

"Are you okay, baby?" he asked me worriedly while looking into my eyes. I don't know myself but when he asked me, I burst into tears because he hugged me.

"Hush! It's over now" and we turned around to go inside as the female reporter spoke again earlier.

"Since then, you have been my dream, Darren, but you rejected me! Don't you know that I have secretly loved you for 5 years! All I want is for you and Destiny to break up so that I can be your girlfriend, but you just hit me what I received, when will we be---" Darren didn't let her finish speaking as he simply replied without even looking at the woman.

"I won't ever wanna date someone like you! Not even in a million years" and then we entered the hotel as if nothing happened.

When I calmed down, I just stayed sitting here while slowly drinking the pineapple juice that I ordered. There are a lot of people here, some are dancing on the dance floor, some are eating and some are going somewhere. While I'm sitting here watching people here.

I can't even count the number of people who asked me to dance but I turned them all down, not because I didn't want to but because I wasn't in the mood to dance.

Then Darren seemed to be here just now but in an instant he disappeared like a bubble.

I looked around hoping to see him in this crowd but even after standing up I still couldn't see him so I decided to just sit and text Darren where he is. But when I was about to pick up my phone, I heard familiar voices in the background.

"So, why aren't you with Ethan?" the man asked with a laugh.

I kept not looking at them until I confirmed that it was them.

"Well..." he let out a sigh before continuing what he was saying.

"If you only know, his brother is forcing him not to go to Singapore for the shooting of his movie because he wants to be with Nathan" and then they both laughed.

"Then you know, of course this Nathan has become a papa's boy, he doesn't want to go with me but with his father, so when he left yesterday, if you only knew, he cried for almost three hours" and they even laughed which had an effect on me it's like something is pinching my heart.

You know the feeling that just by their simple laughter hurts you, what more if you can see with your own eyes, right?

I just tightly hold the glass of juice I'm drinking because I might not be able to control myself and I'll face them both and I'll just tweak Chiara.

"Hello! Is this thing on?" everyone turned to the one who spoke on the stage. The spotlight was also on him because the lights of the venue had already dimmed. While I'm hurt by this, I prefer to just listen to what he has to say ahead of me rather than getting hurt even more, right?

I noticed that some people smiled because the person in front started talking about something, about the party, why there was a party and what else until I didn't expect what happened next because he said Darren's name and there was also Darren is in the spotlight.

Everyone clapped and maybe Chiara clapped too, even though I didn't understand what was going on I didn't care about them. I'm hurt now, I'm bitter now.

The crowd just kept up their cheers until Darren went to the front and took his place. He sat in the reserved seat and started strumming the guitar strings.

"This song is for that special girl in my life, I can't even admit to you how or when it all started but I can only say one thing. I love you"
