Rythme de L'amour

Chapter 13

July 2023

LISA POV

Paris Encore was finally done then the Hanoi concert before my summer vacation with my boyfriend's family. I have told my team and the members as well, they seem very surprised but I made it clear that out relationship is serious, we are serious. My family is also aware about the trip.

I chose to stay at my hotel room instead going out and just rest. I heard a chat notification from my phone, probably a message from the members, Frédéric is busy so it was not from him and we just talked to each other two hours ago. I took my phone from the bed side table.

An email from one of the legal team, an update about the negotiation with contract.

Lisa,

We received an information that YG Entertainment plans to have a negative campaign against you in the event that you still refused to not renew as an artist. We already have all details and all the media they will use for this. We will keep you updated. Rest assured we will try our best to stop them from doing this. Please know that we will also inform Mr. Frédéric Arnault about this progress.

Regards.

They will really get dirty on this, this is so stressful. They will try to ruin my name when it was them who owes me more and I know things now about them, I can ruin them now if I want but still I respect the people I worked with and it will be unfair if I will bring them down too. Alice will definitely go with me, Wonjae won't as he can't live on another country while his family will stay in Korea, he can't leave them which I totally understand. It is not easy to uproot your life and move to another foreign country, I should know I have been there.

I felt like crying, I feel so exhausted. All the legal issues and the tour is starting to take a toll on my emotions. I feel so betrayed, I have been so loyal, I never complain, I follow the rules even though it hurts a lot and I feel ashamed every time staffs and people from the brands I work for always has a difficult time with all the restrictions they have given on me. I heard my phone my phone ringing and saw that it was my boyfriend again as I expected, he must have read the email as well.

I sighed, I do not want to cry when I talk to him, "Hello!" I tried to sound cheerful even though I feel so sad.

"Hi, my love. I just received the email. How are you feeling? Are you ok?" he asked in all sincerity.

Just like that I started crying, "Love..."

"Alright. Baby, just cry it all and out then talk to me when you are ready. I wish I can go to you now to hug you and kiss you. I love you and we will make them pay once they do what they planned. I will never let them; I will protect you. No matter what they won't be able to ruin your name. You are the kindest, most generous, humblest and selfless person I know and you have the most loyal fans. Your family, our friends and family will never let anyone hurts you in anyway." he keeps talking to me. Hearing his voice soothes me and I feel calmer now.

"I just feel betrayed. I did everything they asked of me without complains, without questions. I followed their rules and restrictions even though I feel suffocated and I feel sorry for the people I worked with. Like everything I did for them meant nothing. They never gave me an update about my albums sales but did they heard anything from me? Nothing. I kept quiet about it. No one knows about it-".

"Wait. Love just hold it right there. What do you mean about album sales?"

I realized in that moment that I never told anyone about the album sales issues as it only me and the top management only about it.

"Um... well, I have more sales than they let on. Someone have told me about it, a friend, because they now someone from the inside and they told me that they are hiding my total album sales, it is more than what they said, I am actually a million seller but they can't let a non-Korean take that record." I confess to him.

He was quiet for a while then I heard him sigh.

"You mean to tell me; they are somehow stealing from you? Hiding those kind of details is not right, baby, we can use this against them. I will call private investigators to look into this. From now on, let me take over on this and I will never let anyone do this to you ever again. I love you."

"Alright. I love you, too."

"You know what? I think you need to have a short vacation to rest."

"I can't wait to see you and I agree I think I really need a vacation away from all of these."

"I have a meeting in a few so I have to get ready. I will call again later. I love you, Mon amour."

"I love you, Mon chéri"

Frédéric POV

I called the private investigators to look into the album sales issues Lisa talked about, I cannot believe they did that to her after everything she did for them. I am so mad right now on her behalf, she works so hard for her solo and yet they did not give her the chance to promote and even give her the promotion she deserves. We just need evidences and we will use it against them so she can be free from that rotten company.

I cannot wait to take her away from those people and take her away for her to enjoy her life and do whatever she likes that makes her happy. For now, we are going on a vacation with my family. I am glad that they accepted and like her and that makes it easier. I am looking forward meeting her parents and family too. We plan to meet them soon.

I do not plan in letting her go, we will be together for as long as she wants me. No one can hurt her or even try to do so as long as I am here. I do not care what people will say about me, I do not care if they will like or hate me, I am not here for them, I am here for her and no one else. She is my priority and will always be. She is the one for me and I do plan to marry her. Once she is ready, I will ask her to my Mrs. Arnault.
