Chapter Forty Seven & Forty Eight

Raphael dropped his phone on the table immediately he saw that people were already coming into the meeting room. He also sat properly with his legs crossed across each other.

"Good morning", He greeted them with a smile.

"Morning to you too, Mr Scandal", His manager hissed and sat down beside him. He dropped some pictures of Raphael and a fellow actress together on a table.

Raphael just glanced at it and smiled. His manager looked at him and hissed.

"Why are you smiling? Are you with her now?", His manager asked and Raphael shook his head.

"Actually, I knew that this picture was taken so I posed well for it to come out nicely", He said and the people stared at him as if he was crazy.

"What do you mean?", His manager asked.

"Do you want me to look ugly on camera?", Raphael asked his manger who stood up with anger.

"Your fans are angry, Rapahel", His dance instructor said with a frown.

"Are they?", Raphael asked nonchalantly.

"Even though Kelly is an A-list actress, you should know that most people don't like her especially youth. Most of your fans are youth, well, with teenagers too", His dance instructors said.

"If I'm smart enough to know what you're pointing at, this is what you want to say. I have to tell my fans that Kelly and I have no business together. We met just for business", Raphael said looking at his staff.

"Yes", His manager sat down with a smile.

"Why should I do that?", Rapahel sneered making the smile on his manager's face to fall.

"Why should I lie?", Rapahel asked.

"Then?", One of the staff asked.

"It's not what you think. I have a girlfriend", Rapahel blurted out and heard a gasp from everybody present in the room.

'What?', He asked himself.

'Did I say something bad?', He frowned.

"Who is she?", His manager was up on his feet again with his arms akimbo.

"Sit down, Mr Wells", His main hair stylist said but the manager glared at him.

"Who is she?!", Mr Wells asked again and Rapahel smiled.

"It's good we all know her. We all like her too", Raphael said and they looked at each other. They began to whisper among themselves too.

"Miley?", His manager clapped his hands in excitement but Raphael rolled his eyes.

"Samantha?", Another said but it was incorrect.

"Ah-ah! Lyra, the famous violin player!", The manager assured himself of being right this time.

"Don't you all know Indigo?!", Raphael rasped harshly and the place was silent.

"I-Indigo?", The manager started to laugh and roared, "Indigo?!"

"No, it's not 'that' indigo sir?", Raphael's fashion designer corrected but Rapahel's reply surpised her.

"Oh! It's 'that' indigo, Mr Wells", Raphael said and stood up. He looked at his wristwatch and exclaimed, "Ah! I better be on my way now. I have a date with my love with morning. So, go on and tell my fans that I have a girlfriend. Keep the identity of Indigo hidden. Nobody should disturb me for the next three hours"

Mr Wells was rooted to the floor but his eyes watched Raphael leave the room. A staff came running in the room and cried, "The fans have started to protest at the company sir"

"What are you waiting for? Go ahead and post the article of his relationship status", Mr Wells yelled.

"Indigo!", He took a deep breath and smirked.

HAWAII REUNION

Caro was the first to arrive and Jamal was the last to arrive. Benny and Penny came together. Eve came alone and sat without sharing small talks with the humans she had once called colleagues.

It was a surprise that Lex actually turned up for the reunion given his status and that of Jamal. Rapahel was the only one that couldn't make it. He was still busy touring the countries with his hidden girlfriend.

The reunion was programmed according to classes and levels. There were many arrangements and food. There were people flaunting their riches everywhere and Eve was glad that she also came wearing nice things.

She wanted to dress as simple as she could but she ended up wearing the expensive diamond necklace Lex had given her at the dinner she had accompanied him to.

Caro had given her a dress from her boutique from she went for the opening. That was what she wore to the reunion. It was a beautiful red gown. Raphael had also sent her shoes when she got herself a job so that was what she had on her feet.

Jamal bought her a purse and that's what she brought along with her. The only thing she has on her body that she bought herself was her hair pin.

Before the reunion even started, people already began to fight one another. People like Caro Gilbert and the ever popular Benny.

Maybe it was because everyone was seeing one another after many years. Or maybe because the jealously slowly crept into their hearts again after seeing their long time enemy become successful.

"Is it true that you opened a boutique, Caro?", Caro heard one of her colleagues ask her.

"Yes", Caro smiled proudly. Eve was proud of Caro for opening her own boutique. It was a successful business she took in her hands.

"I have proof. Benny bought the wig on her hair from my boutique", Caro sneered.

"Oh really?", The lady smiled. "I thought it was her hair. It's so nice"

"Yeah, my boyfriend got it for me", Benny said proudly.

"Even though. You bought it from Caro. She's so super rich. I'm so jealous. She doesn't have a boyfriend to get her anything but she's rich", Another said and Benny got green with envy.

"That's a lie. You should know that Raphael and Caro are seeing each other", Benny began but Caro said nothing.

"Is that true, Caro?"

Caro didn't answer their question and ate her cake slowly.

"See? She can't deny it", Benny said.

"What's your point, Benny?", Caro was starting to be irritated.

"We know that you're sleeping with Rapahel so he can get you those things. We know you can't handle opening a business on your own. You don't have that attribute in-"

Everyone gasped when a slap landed on Benny's cheek.

"You bitch!"

*Pah*

Another slap on the same cheek. Benny rubbed her cheek and held back her tears from falling.

"Evelyn!", Benny yelled and got up angrily.

"What the fuck is your problem?", She growled.

"Oh! You want to know what my problem is?", Eve taunted her.

"You know if you talk less and do more, you can become successful yourself and stop being a broke witch. I won't sit back and watch you insult my brother or my friend by calling her a slut", Eve pushed her away and walked towards the restroom.

Caro's heart was warmed when Eve stood up from her. She watched her brother with nonchalancy and rolled her eyes when he caught her looking at him.

'What?', Her brother's eyes asked.

Her own brother couldn't stand up for her because he was busy on his stupid phone. But Evelyn was the one that got the bitch silent in public by disgracing her.

Caro looked at Penny and caught her talking to Lovelyn. She looked at the two closely and was curious. She had noticed that the two are closer than before.

'What's going on?', She has thought but she can't wrap her head around it.

She was even more than surprised that for the first time, Penny didn't bother to defend her sister. Someone slapped Benny in Penny's presence and she sat back. She literally ignored the commotion her sister had caused and relaxed with Lovelyn.

Caro played with Tim that sat on her laps obediently. He was just looking around and watched the other babies that seems around his age. Some of their colleagues are already married and having children of their own.

"Omg!", Evelyn held her chest when she saw Lex in the mirror.

"What are you doing here?", She asked him.

"This is a toilet for everyone", He replied and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"W-What are you doing? Anyone can come in", Evelyn shivered.

"Let them come and see", Lex began to kiss her lips.

Evelyn stopped resisting and kissed him back. She doesn't care too because she was chasing the happiness she had refused for years.

"You're so fierce", Lex was talking about what she did to Benny.

"She deserved it", Evelyn smiled and hugged Lex.

"You shouldn't have wore this gown", He began to stroke her bare back. Eve gasped when she felt his fingers trail her spine.

"Caro gave it to me, remember?", Eve asked.

"I saw those guys' eyes on you. You're damn too sexy", He whispered and kissed her neck.

"What do you mean?", Eve moaned.

"You see this curve", He began to trail her waist down to her hips.

"L-Lex…stop", She whispered into his ears. "Lex, stop. I'm feeling-"

"Are you okay?", Lex asked.

"No", Evelyn said and removed her hands from his waist.

"Are you sick?", He placed his palm on her forehead.

"It's not that. Something is going to happen here, Lex", Evelyn said worriedly and closed her eyes.

"Like what?", Lex was confused.

"I don't know. I can feel the bad energy from here already. I don't want to stay here. I just want to go", Evelyn said and Lex held her hand.

"It's fine. I'll protect you okay?", Lex said and she scoffed.

"Do you want to also protect hundred people if something happen?", Evelyn started with scorn.

"I see that you're underestimating me. Okay, we'll just spend five minutes more and go", He assured her and she nodded.

"I love you", He placed his lips on hers once more as they shared a brief kiss.

As soon as Evelyn sat down, Caro leaned in to whisper in her wards, "Penny and Lovelyn are dating"

"What?!", Eve exclaimed and began o apologize for being too loud.

"Why are you surprised? My sister has a partner supporting her. You're just a single mom", Benny taunted Eve.

"Wrong, Benny. Evelyn is my girlfriend", Lex said with a smirk.

The whispered were more than before and it became a noisy place soon. Caro looked betrayed that Eve didn't tell her.

"Don't look at me like that. I know you know something is going on between us", Eve furrrowed her brow.

"Even though", Caro pouted.

"Are you for real?", Lovelyn asked Lex who ignored her.

"So, Benny, who has a greater relationship?", Caro smirked.

"Shut up, Caro", Benny hissed angrily.

"I want to get something straight. Who has the child? You?", Lovelyn asked. Everyone looked at Lex and Evelyn immediately Lovelyn asked that question.

"It's-"

"Hello beautiful youths", Mr Salvatore laughed evily and raised his hands towards the sky. The chandeliers came crashing to the floor one after the other as soon as he did that.

The reunion soon turned into a war zone as Lady Elizabeth showed up too with an evil smirk on her face.

"You had a party without me", She pretended to be sad and caused electricity spark to come out of all sockets.

Eve clutched Tim tightly as people began to get aggressive while fighting for their lives. Eve was impressed to see other people's power and skills but it was the wrong time to be impressed by such.

"Queen Keelin?", Caro was shocked to see her mother's friend with Lady Elizabeth. Why was she with the crazy witch? Has she been wicked from the start for her to side with Lady Elizabeth?

"Hello Carolina", Queen Keelin smiled and suddenly had Tim in her arms.

She watched Tim float in the air again and caught by Lady Elizabeth.
