SOME MINUTES LATER, LECTURE HALL*
Weston was sitting down alone,some eyes on her coming from the rest of the students which he choose to ignore. He was just there with air pods in his ears,lost into the music he was listening to,until someone sat down beside him.
"You were here" Kennedy said.
Weston looked at him and removed one of the pods.
"I heard Rose got hurt,you're not going to check up on her?" Kennedy asked.
"I don't think it's necessary,she's got a lot of people with her already,I don't have time for that" Weston muttered and Kennedy chuckled.
"You're so cold" He said.
Weston said nothing.
Soon,Messi and Henry joined them.
"So she had a fight with Eva and it was a mistake?" Henry asked.
"I wasn't there,we just heard her scream and went in" Weston answered.
"So Rose said they had a fight?" Kennedy asked and Henry nodded.
"That's kind of new,I've never heard them standing to fight,now the darn news will go around soon" Messi scoffed.
"Don't worry,it won't" Dice muttered as he also joined.
"What do you mean?" The boys asked and Weston also looked at him.
"I'm sure none of them would want that" Dice mumbled,his eyes met with Weston's own before sitting down at the edge,saying nothing more.
Weston looked at him with suspicious eyes but decided to ignore it,he wasn't in the mood for that at all.
"Guys I just discovered a great restaurant,how about we visit there after our classes today?" Kennedy suggested.
"I can book for us a vip room,coz of Weston" he added.
"Sorry I have plans after class" Weston muttered.
"Me too" Dice also said.
"Then....how about tomorrow? I really want all of us to go there together please" He groaned.
"Fine,tomorrow is okay" Weston said.
"How about Dice?"
"Yeah,it's fine" Dice replied.

Inside the school clinic,Rose was pacing in her ward aggressively,biting her nails. Her plan didn't go exactly the way she wanted and it's pissing her off insanely.
She swallowed when she remembered what happened.
FLASHBACK,TWENTY MINUTES AGO*
Rose was lying down on the bed when the door opened and Dice came into the ward.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Rose looked at him and said nothing.
"I think you should stop whatever you're thinking at this point tho,I overhead your manager shouting that he's going to drop the news everywhere,Are you sure Eva attacked you?" Dice asked.
Rose frowned.
"And who are you to ask me that question?" She asked.
"Oh..." Dice chuckled and walked closer to her.
"Here...I deleted it already from records tho,,but just to show you" He showed her his phone,the video of how she forcefully used Eva's bracelet on herself was playing.
Rose glared.
"You are such an amazing soul Rose" Dice smiled and put his phone back into his pocket.
"You just lost a fan" He muttered.
"But for the sake of old times,I won't show anyone,that's if you stop your silly plan of trying to make Eva look like a bad person when she's fucking better than you,I regret liking you and your music my entire life. I know you have millions of fans and just me out of them doesn't count,but pray other don't find out your real shitty self" Dice said.
"Reveal it if you want" Rose said.
"Not everyone's as desperate as you actually" Dice muttered.
"You got hurt for nothing,take care of your neck,and bye" Dice said before walking out of the ward.
END OF FLASHBACK*
"That bastard" Rose scoffed and dialed a number.
"Hey baby"
"Dad I need your help" Rose said.
"What's that? Is there a problem?"
"Someone have something against me...like an evidence and I need your help" She said in a lower voice.
"Come to the office later and tell me in details"
"Thanks dad" She hung up.
"You better not mess with me Dice" Rose muttered and rolled her eyes.

3PM, CHANEL*
A black sleek van was drove into the company,the van stopped the the door was opened by some bodyguards who already came out from another car.
Weston stepped down from the van and shoved his hands into his pockets,Gemini also followed. Some of the employees were already standing outside waiting for his arrival and they immediately welcomed him warmly,some even took pictures with him before they began leading him to the conference room where he was being waited for.
They used the lift and soon,they got to the room.
"Please go in" they said and opened the door.
Gemini entered first and Weston followed,there were about ten people inside already.
The director,chairman,manager and some other staffs,they all got up as soon as they were in.
"You're Welcome Weston" one of the women among them smiled and they all shook hands with him before he sat down,only for him to see Eva sitting right next to him,with Gracie by her other side as well.
Their eyes met just shortly and they both looked away at once.
"Shall we start?" One of the men asked.
"Yeah"
"I'm so glad I'm finally getting to meet you two this way,Eva...and Weston" The CEO himself said with a smile.
"Welcome to Chanel,we are excited to discuss our upcoming potential partnership with you both" A man said.
Both Eva and Weston responded in their own ways.
"Uhm,,we choose you both because we believe you both embody the Chanel Spirit,elegance and..just everything we need,you both are amazing" Another lady.
"Thank you so much" Eva smiled.
"So,here....we would like to propose a tbree years contract,featuring you both together as pairs,and solo too. But it's okay if you can't work with us for three years,which we really hope you can"
"I'm in,I have no problem" Eva said.
"Me too" Weston added.
The officials all exchanged happy glances and clapped.
Immediately someone started dropping the contract files on the table for them.
The contract was read thoroughly,it's an exclusive contract and some rules were applied,which includes the fact that they can't work with other luxury brands during their contract years.
After three years,if they wish to renew the contract,they can,and if they don't want to,then no problem.
Eva and Weston signed the contract without any oppositions and soon they were done.
"We look forward to working with you both"
Eva and Weston shook hands with them and few pictures were taken as well.
"Your schedules and times for our first photoshoots will be sent to yoir managers respectively" The director said.
While at that,both Weston and Eva left the conference room,leaving their managers.
Weston was the first to go out,then Eva went after him.
He was walking in front of her,ignoring her presence completely. Eva took her lip in and summoned courage and go close.
"Weston.....can we talk?" She asked.
"No,I don't have anything to say to you Eva" Weston answered and walked away,leaving her standing there.
Gracie showed up a second after and they started going out as well,Eva saw as Weston entered into the van and his manager also joined him.
"Is everything alright?" Gracie asked beside her.
Eva said nothing,her eyes just followed as Weston's van drove out of the place.
"I heard from Mr Austin,you are serious about terminating your contract after your album?" Gracie asked.
"Yeah,you should start searching for a job,I won't go with anyone who's related to Austin at all" Eva muttered and Gracie's eyes widened.
"Eva!" She gasped.
"Go in the other car,I have somewhere else to be and I'm driving myself" Eva said and walked away to the other car.
Gracie stood there as the driver came down and allowed Eva into the car,soon Eva was off.
"What's going on with her" She sighed out loudly.
*
WESTON AND DICE'S MANSION*
Dice got down from his car and took grabbed his bag nonchalantly,today just spoiled his whole mood and now he's starving so badly.
He threw the car key for the securities before going inside,once he opened the door,he went in and closed it back.
He already turned straight toward the stairs when suddenly he saw Bonnie laying on one of the couches,her eyes closed.
That's so unlike her to sleep during the day,he turned and walked back to her.
"Bunny?" He called.
Bonnie gently opened her eyes and they are all red.
"Did you cry?" Dice immediately asked and moved closer.
"No,I'm fine" Bonnie said weakly.
"You're not,is something wrong? Or...your tummy hurts?" Dice asked with concern.
Bonnie nodded in tears.
"You don't want to take medicine?" Dice asked again.
"I'm going to...I already called sweetheart,he will bring it" Bonnie said.
"Why not go to your room instead?..."
"I can't walk" She said like a baby.
Dice chuckled.
"It's so cute seeing the strong bunny feeling sick" He said.
"Don't tease me,I will get mad" Bonnie snapped.
"Come here" Dice muttered and carried her from the couch in a bridal way.
"You don't really have to" Bonnie said.
"Are you sure? Coz you're resting on my chest already" Dice said as he started walking.
"Because I don't want you to feel bad" Bonnie mumble.
"Indeed" Dice chuckled.
They got upstairs and entered Bonnie's room,,he dropped her on the bed and removed her hair strands from her face.
"You will be fine" He said.
Bonnie nodded.
Just then,the door opened and Weston came in.
"Oh,you're here" Dice said.
"Hmm" Weston nodded and walked over to Bonnie,he sat down on the bed.
"Hey,get up,it's this one right?" He showed her what he got and Bonnie nodded.
Dice took the bottle of water on her table and opened for her.
"Thanks" Bonnie said.
She used the medicine.
"You should rest" Weston said.
"Hmm" Bonnie hugged him.
"Make me sleep,I've missed you" She pouted.
Dice chuckled and went out of the room.
Weston lay beside Bonnie on the bed while she hugged him tightly,it took like ten minutes before she finally slept off.
Weston left the room afterward.
Some moments later,Dice was alone in the living room when the door bell rang. He got up and walked to open,standing there was Eva.
"Hi" Eva said.
"What are you waiting for,come in" Dice immediately said.
"Thanks"
"What about...West?" She asked.
"His room" Dice replied.
"Thank you" Eva managed to smile and she went upstairs.
*
Weston was just coming out of the bathroom with just towel wrapped around his waist,he was using a dryer for his hair as well.
A knock suddenly came on the door,making him pause,but before he could speak,the door opened and Eva entered.
She closed the door and turned to face Weston.
"Oh....I'm sorry" She immediately faced the door back.
Weston rolled his eyes and just continue blow drying his hair.
"Are you putting on clothes now?" Eva asked.
"Don't tell me what to do in my own house" Weston muttered and she faced him.
"I'm sorry West" she sighed.
Weston said nothing,he arranged his hair properly and dropped the dryer.
Eva was trying her best not to stare at his body but....heaven knows she couldn't.
"When you're done staring,you can leave. I don't want to talk to you" Weston said and left the bedroom.
He entered the dressing room and got some casual outfits to put on,but still looks hot.
When he returned back to the bedroom,Eva was still standing there.
"West" She walked over to him.
Weston sighed.
"Eva please...I'm not...."
"I know I was wrong,I shouldn't have pushed you away,but..that moment,I just thought...you wouldn't believe me either,I just......I'm so sorry West. I don't want you to feel like you're forcing things,I hope you can give me enough time to clear things in my head....."
"Must you do that alone?" Weston cut in and their eyes locked.
"Why can't you allow me into that world of yours? You're fucking alone and I can see it in your eyes,you're draining off Eva" Weston said.
Eva shook her head.
"I don't want to involve anyone into my messed up life,I've been holding on for years and I will keep on doing that,but I want to end it on my own as well....you're too young to get involved and....."
"There she goes again" Weston muttered and sat down on the bed.
"I'm too young to get involved? Am I a child? I'm not a teenager,I'm an adult,you're just blessed with few more years,we are literally the same" he groaned and roughed his hair.
"Give me more time...."
"Start from the lightest parts...can't you at least tell me few things going on in your life? Don't keep everything inside Eva,talk to someone.....that should be me,I'm ready to listen to everything you have to say....please" Weston looked at her.
Eva nodded.
"Come here" Weston stretched his hand toward her and she held it.
He pulled her over at once and hugged her waist.
Eva smiled and touched her hair.
"Am I forgiven?" She asked.
"Yeah" Weston said.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you as well...I just lost it for a second" he said.
"It's fine,I deserve that" Eva said.
Weston broke the hug and made her sit on his laps.
"Do you have anything to tell me now?" He asked softly.
"I'm leaving Sonic Sounds....after my album release" Eva muttered.
"What? Why?" Weston asked.
"I'm tired West...I don't know how I was able to cope all those years,but I understand I was just desperate for the money,and now that I have it,I realized that I've accepted and allowed a lot of things I shouldn't have,now I can't cope with them anymore,my mental health is dealing with me badly and I just want to break free from everyone of them" Eva said.
"So what is your plan after that?" Weston asked.
"Maybe give up on music and....."
"That's not possible,don't do that. What about your fans? Taking a little break to get back on your feet is better than forever" Weston said.
Eva nodded.
"I understand,I can focus on my self and making my own music without that agency. And...I want to work on my dance too,and a lot of other things in my head I want to do. I want to have fun and just go on dates and,beach and,I just want alot of time for myself" She smiled.
"You should do everything you want,,get a bucket list and write them down,that's better. I won't be able to remind you since I'm not included anywhere in your plans" Weston mumbled and rolled his eyes.
"Oh please" Eva laughed.
"You're a baby" She said and cupped his cheeks.
"Let's have fun together as well...when you're free" She said.
She checked the time and got up from Weston's laps.
"I need to go,,I'm meeting with Angela and Maria,they will be waiting already" she said.
"Okay" Weston nodded.
"Where's Bonnie?" Eva asked on her way to the door.
"Sleeping" Weston replied.
"Bye West" She waved at him and went out.
Weston sighed and fell on his back on the bed.
*
7PM*
Dice was driving home from the supermarket, feeling relieved after picking up the fruits Bonnie had asked for. As he cruised down the highway, he noticed a car tailing him. He thought nothing of it at first, assuming it was just a coincidence.
However, as the miles passed, the car remained stubbornly behind him. Dice's curiosity turned to unease. Suddenly, the car swerved ahead, cutting off Dice's path,his car stopped at once.
Before he could react, several men jumped out and dragged him from his car. Dice struggled, but they overpowered him. A punch landed on his face, sending him stumbling backward.
"Ditch the struggle, we just want your phone!" one of the attackers growled.
Dice's phone was yanked from his pocket, and the men swiftly retreated to their car. Tires screeched as they sped away, leaving Dice on the ground.
Groaning, Dice got up,he wiped the blood from his split lip.
Without thinking twice,he entered his car again with anger and drove off roughly.
He drove directly to Rose's house,he parked outside and knocked on the gate aggressively.
The securities opened the gate with a frown.
"Who are you?" They asked.
Dice checked his pocket and fortunately,he was holding the particular ID card he wanted,he showed them and they immediately allowed him in.
"I'm here to see Rose" He said.
They quickly led him to the entrance,and soon he was inside the living room.
Rose was sitting down,receiving a call when Dice entered.
She frowned.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
Dice chuckled and slides his hands into his pockets.
"I love the way you play your games...you really think sending your animals to get my phone is going to be the end? I warned you didn't I?" Dice said coldly.
Rose laughed maniacally.
"You're so smart,you found out" She said.
"You shouldn't have messed with me" Dice smiled and brought out another phone from his pocket.
"Don't worry,actually they took the one the video is in" He said.
"You're a shameless bitch and that is what gets me" Dice said.
"How dare you!" Rose yelled and slapped him across the face.
Dice turned to her with a glare and without thinking twice,he returned the slap on her face,shocking her.
"I'm calling the securities on you!" She yelled.
Dice smiled.
"Do you know the first time I saw you? I became a fan right away....it was when my dad introduced me to your fucking dad that I would be taking over that company where he's working as the director right now" He said in a low voice.
Rose blinked.
"What shit are you talking about?" She asked.
Dice ignored her and dialed a number,then put it in a loud speaker.
"Hey Cadel" He mentioned the name and Rose glared.
"Good evening boss" Mr Cadel said and Rose's eyes widened.
Dice hung up and called his dad,loud speaker again.
"Hello Son,how are you doing?"
"Guess who just sent his men to attack me on my way home dad" Dice said.
"What?! Who attacked you?!"
"Cadel...he sent his men to attack me because I've got some mess his daughter created on my phone,they beat me up badly" Dice replied.
"What the f+ck?! Is Cadel insane?! That ungrateful animal!!" Dice's dad yelled.
"Fire him dad,that's all I have to do. I will go to the office tomorrow,you will see my face" Dice muttered and hung up.
Rose swallowed hard.
"Oh....that was nothing actually. Dad will only get him fired, send him out of the house he bought for her and probably collect some money he's owing. You can take over from there,you are rich enough to take care of your family" Dice smiled.
"You are free to come over to the company tomorrow as well" He glared at her before storming out of the house.
