CHAPTER 23

“Emma Johnson, why are you here?”

Her blonde hair was so beautiful. Her green eyes were visible even though I'm far away. She was wearing a floral dress that complimented her beauty. Lights were right. How can they compare me and Emma?

She will definitely win.

“Oh you know me.” She smiled at me. Shoot, I was starstruck. Lumapit ako sa kanya at nakipag hand shake. I almost forgot, she’s my boyfriend’s ex. I need to stay professional.

“I’m so sorry to disturb you but can I ask you something?” I nodded fast but still kept my fierceness. “Yeah, ask everything you want.”

She looked at Sheena, oh she want to talk in private. I gave a signal to Sheena and she walked away. Emma cleared her throat and sighed while closing her eyes. “Are you……John’s girlfriend?”

I gulped. Can I say it to her? “Don’t worry your secret's safe with me.” She held my hand and looked at me with her green eyes. She didn’t even give pressure to me, she was too beautiful to begin with!

“Yes, I’m dating John Dixon.” She clapped so happily. “I just want to invite uhmm John to uhm.” She was stuttering and that’s when I held her hand to encourage her to finish her sentence.

Who knows that I’m holding my boyfriend’s ex. I want her to be my friend, she’s nice as what the rumors said. “Can you give this to John?” It was a beautiful envelope. I felt my heart going crazy. Ano kaya ang nakasulat rito? I decided to read the letters in the back.

“You are….”

“You’re getting married?”

My voice cracked while she was smiling widely at me. “I want to invite John to my wedding because he taught me what love is.”

“Our love story is tragic but I learned a lot. Don’t worry! I don’t love him anymore but still, I want to say thank you to him. He treated me nicely but the fans just hate it.” She laughed like it was nothing. “You can’t control the fans?”

Huminga siya ng malalim. “The only person who can control you is you. If you stay being a bully, it’s your choice. If you are nice then want to rebel, it’s your choice too. I can’t control them. So don’t let them control your feelings, they’re not you.”

“Stop overthinking. I know John loves you a lot.” She smiled at me and stood up.

“Thank you for your time Ms. CEO. I hope you can decide wisely unlike me.” Then, she walked away.

“I can’t control them, but I can control myself.”

I was so happy. I want to meet John and tell him what happened today.

But,

Happiness turns to sadness.

“Mom! Dad!”

I was signing my papers when I heard Sheena’s cry and shout. “Ma'am, your father and mom are in critical condition!”

I didn’t know that the rumors just spread quickly. Oh, I just forgot. I am in the center of the media’s eye.

“Miss, calm down.” I cried on my seat, waiting for the doctor.

Ang nagbangga sa kanila ay isang fan ni John, they’re Lights. They stalked mom and dad and decided to end their life. They are hurt because of the hatred.

All because of me.

“What about mom? She is carrying my sister!” I held the nurse’s shoulder. I was a sobbing mess. The nurse was flustered but ended up crying with me. Mom and dad were family to them. They treat them so well.
