Kevin had been really occupied since the match day with the party preparations amidst lots of photo shoots. So much for being a celebrity with a little scandal. He had a lot of things on his plate as he advanced but he could not help but notice how Allen had been reacting towards him of recent like he had greater suspicious thoughts over him. This was however not totally unexpected as Kevin knew already that he would be under his microscopic gaze every now and then as he could not bear the thought that Kevin was keeping secrets.Speaking of lying low, Kevin was rather confuse as he had not idea if the system too had gone underground as it had not shown itself since two days ago when he had won that football competition which advanced them to the regionals. Even more area of concern was his prize from successfully completing the task which the system had allotted him which was by far one of the most embarrassing. Some persons had made posts about it but since it had happened quickly, n
Don Quinton sat down as he observed the boy and he could tell how timid he might have been. The older man had been into the talent hunting business for a really long time and also had a numerous number of businesses which he ran carefully. He took to hiring models when his only son decided to keep him on his toes as regards to the lifestyle he had chosen.A couple of days ago and he had opened a new brand but his son had demanded that he signed Kevin up as the model after this. Also, upon his request, he had to come see Kevin all by himself."You really like this one, do you not?" He had asked him two days ago when he had suddenly resumed his threats to commit suicide or go back to his lifestyle of drug abuse."You wouldn't understand." His son said as he kept squeezing out his grape juice."You take me for one from the third world. Perhaps, your assumption is that I would not be able to make anything out of your choice of life but I already did. I even researched." He said to his twe
Kevin turned away as he finished sending the man and his group off after the signatures had been appended. He had not been informed the benefits prior but the sooner he signed, Glassman had the lawyer with him read off everything he needed to know about his new benefits. Kevin had never felt more gracious as he returned to his party. He smiled at everyone around before deciding to go up to his bedroom and at the very least get a little break before rejoining.Kevin made his way upstairs and then he heard the sound from within. Someone was inside his bedroom."There's nothing here, Mickey." Vanessa was saying."There have to be. Why do you think a man such as Don Quinton Glassman would come find Kevin?" He asked her."Duh, perhaps he had something to discuss." She responded."With a young man in college? Are you even listening to yourself?" She asked him."Keep looking." He spat instead.There was more ransacking sound."What would you rather I do or say? We have to get out of this pla
Perhaps it was a resultant effect steming from the system but it would come to turn out that Kevin was already beginning to take the bull by the horns. If there was any description for a man being a real man then it would be this one.The anger within him at the fact that respite that he did not want to harm anyone or take anyone to heart, they all figure out a way to ruin things for him. Kevin was only trying his best to be a normal person despite having a system directing his actions but now, he would step up from his comfort zone and face it off."What do you mean by us?" The vain Vanessa asked him."Well, you know. I was thinking that perhaps this time, we would try working out things gradually." He said to her trying to be coy about his actions."Gradually?" She asked batting her eyelashes."Yes, gradually. You and I need not rush anymore if there would be a thing in future for us both. We need to figure out a way around our activities and learn more about each other." He explain
"I need to think about this." She said to him after he responded.Whatever his response had been really got her emotional that all she could think about was to figure out a way to dodge the entire thing. She needed time but deep down, Vanessa already had her answer. She wanted to play the hard bird now and nut to crack as she looked at Kevin steadily."Sure. But do not take long. We should figure this out." He said to her and winked."I promise." She said."I would be praying for something positive though." He chipped in and she smiled widely at him. Clearly, he had her totally floored.Vanessa had turned away to leave when she paused suddenly, forcing Kevin to begin to wonder what it was that had caused her to halt. She made her way back to him suddenly as she stood on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on his cheeks before embracing him briefly and walking away.Kevin watched her walk away and back into the house to rejoin the party as he raised his drink to his lips. He grinned misch
Vanessa made her way back to the party and she found Mickey waiting by the door with a weird glance on his face. They clearly did not want to arouse suspicions as they did not attempt to get close to each other when he brought out his phone and wave it. It was a clear signal that she should get hers. Vanessa frowned as she took her phone out of her purse just as his first message came in."You've betrayed us right?" He texted."And what's that supposed to mean, do I look like one that would do that?" She responded."Vanessa, I've known you for the selfish person you have been for years and I know whatever you do is always for your personal benefits. You do not expect that I would fall for your talks about vengeance easily when all you desire is to be with him and regain your popularity." He dissed her.Vanessa really felt like walking over to him and dealing him with a slap although, a part of her did wonder if this was all he thought of her as. A cheap whore who was weaving her way t
Kevin had bid Omar bye and returned to the party just when the music had suddenly gone off.Apparently, Melinda had spoken just when the number ended and they had been in the act of changing the song when she spoke up suddenly. She could not believe she had spoken so loudly even as everyone was looking including Vanessa. The hired DJ has gone with the question on the minds of everyone as he did not hit play when Kevin entered and all eyes fell on him.He had been traumatized in the past with bad things befalling him whenever people stares this way at him and there was no single eye in the room lacking judgement within them. He looked around and could see the horror in Vanessa's eyes as she stared at him prompting him to wonder what she had done this time around.Amelia had been in the act of grabbing a drink when it happened and then she saw a chance to save his reputation. She suddenly started off to him as she stretched out both hands."Oh, Kevin bunny, where have you been?" She sai
The party was ended and it was right back to trying to figure out what Vanessa was up to. Kevin retired to the enclaves of his big bedroom which now provided him with the excitement of wanting to sleep all through on it.His phone chimed as a text message came in from Vanessa herself. Speak of the devil who apparently would never stop trying to ruin his life and he would have mentioned her straight on."Kevin, you're toying with me." She texted.He sighed. How on earth had she still not managed to learn from her past mistakes and remained headstrong on making life miserable for others. Clearly, she did not want to acknowledge ever that she was at fault and would rather stick to blame games.Well, he had his head full of plans he had mapped out for her and how he was going to make her pay and remain shut up forever and now was the time."I have not the slightest idea what you're talking about." He responded to her.For a moment, there was no message or signs of getting any messages fro
He could not understand how he had become instrumental to the closing of the shoot. Kevin feared at this point as to what the matter was. He could not understand but he really feared as he helplessly looked at Omar. But the guy was looking totally bewildered at this point as he stared back at Kevin. Something had definitely happened to imstigate all of this."Did I do something wrong, Sir?" Kevin asked him."Actually, there is." Don Quinton said as he punched numbers into his phone."Sir, if I may ask, what is the something?" Kevin asked fearfully."I fear you may be my brother's son. Now, excuse me." Don Quinton said and just then placed the phone against his ears. "Hello, Doctor Smith."The man had taken a couple of steps away as he spoke to the doctor. Only now did Omar come close to Kevin. He was still confused and perplexed but if this was actually true, it would go a long way to prove why his feelings towards Kevin started to turn platonic."Alas, you might be my family." Omar s
Kevin had no option but to take off the jacket as he stood there. He looked at his manager for a reaction and the man nodded for him to go ahead and turn around. Kevin was scared he might have gotten on the man's bad records but turned around nevertheless."It's just a birth mark, nothing so bad when even my brother had something similar to this on his....his back????" Don Quinton suddenly exclaimed.He suddenly realized how similar if not identical this was to the one that used to be on his brother's back and right around the very same spot. "Stop right there, boy." Don Quinton said as he started coming towards him.Kevin nearly fainted. He heard the man's hastened footsteps coming towards him and he nearly cried out. He did not want any troubles with the bigger man and simply wanted to be better. He started to focus on breathing as he was holding his breath back at this point."Hold still, boy." Don Quinton said to him.Kevin did as he was told and remained standing."Tissue." The
Kevin had already gotten into his makeup session and was getting doused with golden covering on his body that seemed to glitter as he was dress as though he was some militant from the jungle. It was a fine one. They were going to yet make a commando out of him as a band was tied around his arm to elevate the look of his muscles. Kevin could not believe he looked this hot. The past weeks of workout which he had been doing on empty stomach did pay off and his abs were out. Although, they were not so firm, the makeup artist was so good that she made them seem more elaborate.All through this session, she kept giving glances to Kevin. Seductive ones actually as she admired him greatly. She would sometimes when no one was watching flick her tongue at him but he was less interested in all of that. Eventually, that session was done with and he had to wear a jacket as his dark birth mark around his back was not covered easily. They were worried he would sweat a lot during the shoot or he wou
"You're late, again." His manager said to him the moment he had arrived.Kevin brought up a smile to his face that was supposed to have some apologetic effects. He had actually gone to drop off his friends and went to drop off Allen at the hospital. He had to see Maria who was beginning to stand for himself. Although it was brief, their connection to each other was evident, even to Allen himself who had asked them..."Do I excuse you both?" He said."And you would promise to always excuse us?" Kevin asked him, teasingly."I'm kidding right now. I don't trust hooligans and models around women." Allen had said.Kevin got carried away at this point that he had to stay with Maria quite longer, ignoring his calls which were reminders of the time he was supposed to make an appearance. He was quite engrossed with her that it had taken the intervention of Mike, the driver who had to come in and ask the receptionist where to find him. They knew Kevin was popular and when he said that he was hi
She really had nothing against Kevin and simply wanted to be in the know of all that had happened. Alice had proven to him that she had not the slightest of wires taped to her body and now, he saved her from going all the way. What did she care about, her cousin had been dragged all over the internet for the same reason. It would only be fair if she too gets the same treatment."Fine. Get dressed. You made your point." He said to her."Does that mean you would answer?" She asked him."Yes. I did leak the first ones she sent me but that was only in a vengeful spite. The second one too but I did not kidnap her. Your sister had taken my nude photos while I was asleep and had been blackmailing me into a relationship with her. My buddy decided to intervene and aid me." He said to her."Any of them in the bullying trio?" She asked, referring to Allen and the others."No." Kevin said."Thank you for being honest. You did not deserve getting blackmailed and I did not know. I am sorry. I was t
"Let's sit here then." Alice said to Kevin.It was the little raised pavement by the parking lot where they used to sit. That was a fun spot for students at some point and a hiding spot also. Nevertheless, Kevin sat down in greater hopes that things would go smoothly. He reckoned he would be mindful of his eyes as there was actually no telling what would happen and he could not have a shoot with black eyes or his manager would kill him."Alright, Alice. Why are we here?" Kevin asked her."Heard you were ill. Are you fine now?" She asked him.Was she here to play courtesy or use him further now her sister was away or something because at this point, he would rather he makes it clear to everyone including her that he had not the time and energy to take anything shoved at him. He wanted nothing further with any lady. Either way, he chose courtesy over rudeness."I'm fine. Just have to sit out this game. So tell me, whats up?" Kevin asked her."I needed us to talk." She responded."Talk?
It was strenuous but he had to keep pushing forward.. Kevin found how exhausting the entire thing had been for days since he resumed training. He had heard his alarm this morning and it felt like he would want to smash it in pieces as fatigue was beginning to make his bones feel like rubber. He flopped on his bed but then, missing school was not an option either as he had a serious quiz to get ready for. Kevin was gradually crawling up the point and brink of never returning. He waited for a little while before finally pulling himself off the bed.As he got into the bathroom, he picked up his brush and started to do his usual morning rituals. His skin actually glowed and he was more than satisfied with his reflection in the mirror. He suddenly slowly raised his shirt and noticed how his abs were actually beginning to form. Today was going to be a very busy day as he had a quiz, training and a little thing his manager had refused to actually feel him in on. He had not the slightest idea
Kevin could not believe what had just happened with the principal. The influence of Don Quinton or his popularity but either way, it would come to seem as though he was actually swimming in the greatness of the time he found himself. The principal had taken it upon himself to punish the boys and to their dismay, they were to serve detention for two hours for the next two weeks. How funny as he used to be at the receiving end of all of this maltreatment. Although he enjoyed it, he did not want his time at the top to seem like tyranny. He wanted to do better and he needed his focus on everything he was doing. Kevin and the boys left the office as he held the bag of ice to the little scratch on his forehead that was actually a little on the red side of things. "I do hope this would not cause distortions to our star?" The principal had asked while escorting them out of his office."I'll be fine." Had been Kevin's response.When they returned to class without the other two, it was easier
Perhaps the news of my car acquisition shielded me from a couple of other judgemental stuff but we had to get down to school activities as it should have been all this while. I had been up and running on the receiving end of congratulations from everyone around me as it would come to seem that they were all pleased and happy for me. I had my life back again and this time, it was beginning to feel like I merited it. Unlike then when it was all like I had been the evil demon of the whole lot.But then, it was the system that bothered me right now. It had mentioned family to me and now I had to admit to the fact that I was already on the edge where I could lose control any moment. Was it really going to bring me to my family as it had gone silent and the system very much was nothing that I could actually look up and look forward to helping me out with anything at this point. It would pretty much rather delay and show up just when it feels like it. This was what I had to deal with everyti
