Malibu

Dua

As the media frenzy surrounding the Kayla Nicole drama continued to escalate, I made the decision to retreat to the sanctuary of my home in Malibu. Despite the allure of staying by Travis's side during his winning streak, I couldn't bear the thought of adding any unnecessary stress to his already hectic schedule. Travis had never asked me to step back or shield myself from the relentless scrutiny of the public eye, but I couldn't shake the feeling that my presence might only serve to exacerbate the situation.

I found solace in the familiar comforts of home, surrounded by the soothing rhythm of crashing waves and the gentle caress of ocean breeze.

I couldn't understand why Kayla would stoop to such lows, fabricating false accusations in a desperate bid for attention and validation. It was clear to me now that her motives were driven by a desire for revenge, a misguided attempt to inflict the same pain and suffering she was undoubtedly feeling. I had never asked to be put in this situation, in a love triangle of her making. Yet here I was, caught in the crossfire of her misguided vengeance, forced to defend my honor against baseless accusations and unfounded rumors.

But as I sat and reflected on her actions, I couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy towards her. Beneath the facade of bitterness and resentment, I saw a woman who was hurting, lashing out in a misguided attempt to ease her own suffering. And while I couldn't condone Kayla's actions, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for her.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the tranquil waters of the Pacific, I found myself drawn to the solitude of the beach. The rhythmic lull of the waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop as I sought refuge from the chaos that had consumed my life in recent days.

Seated upon the soft sands, I closed my eyes and allowed the gentle caress of the ocean breeze to wash over me, a welcome respite from the relentless storm raging inside. And as the world faded away, lost in the timeless embrace of nature, inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the darkness that had clouded my mind.

I reached for my journal, the pages worn and weathered from years of use. And as I began to write, the words flowed freely, a torrent of emotion and raw honesty pouring forth from the depths of my soul. The song would be titled "The Boy is Mine" a spin on the 90s hit by Brandy and Monica.

I found solace in the creative process—the ability to channel my pain into something transformative, to carve out a space where my voice could be heard above the din of falsehoods and rumors.

This will be my chance to say my side of the story on my past relationships. Among them, there was one relationship that had remained shrouded in silence—a love that had once burned bright, only to be extinguished by the harsh realities of infidelity. It was a chapter of my life that I had kept hidden away, buried beneath layers of pain and betrayal, unable to confront the truth that lay within. The three years I spent with Harry, and I would be married to him today if he had not cheated on me with Olivia Wilde.

Since then, the men who have crossed my path have been nothing more than fleeting flings, temporary distractions from the pain that still lingers in the depths of my soul. But with Travis, it feels different—something about him ignites a spark within me, a sense of belonging I haven't felt in years.

The song I penned was a testament to the bittersweet nature of love—a delicate dance between light and darkness, joy and sorrow. I titled it "Eternal Sunshine" I can't help but wonder if this album will serve as a turning point in my life—a testament to my resilience and my capacity to love again.

In the lyrics, I poured out my deepest emotions, weaving together strands of love and loss, hope and despair. It was a raw and unfiltered expression of my truth, a cathartic release of the pain that had long lain dormant within me.

And as the melody filled the air, I felt a sense of peace wash over me—a realization that by confronting the shadows of my past, I was reclaiming my power, forging a path towards healing and redemption.

As I looked ahead to the future, I knew that my journey was far from over. But with each note sung and each chord struck, I found strength in the knowledge that my music would carry me through, guiding me towards a brighter tomorrow.

And so, I made a decision—a decision to name my upcoming album "Eternal Sunshine," a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always light to be found.

With a sense of purpose burning bright within me, I reached for my phone, dialing Shannon's number with a sense of urgency. As the line connected, I wasted no time in conveying my revelation, the words pouring forth in a torrent of excitement and determination.

"Shannon," I began, my voice trembling with anticipation, "I've got it. The album title for my album Eternal Sunshine."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, the weight of my words hanging heavy in the air. But then, like a beacon in the darkness, Shannon's voice cut through the silence, her enthusiasm matching my own.

"Eternal Sunshine," she repeated, the words rolling off her tongue. "I love it, Dua. It's perfect."

I grinned, feeling a surge of validation at her response. "Thanks, Shannon. It just felt right, you know? But that's not all. I've already started working on some songs for the album. I've got two done and I'm itching to dive into more. That's where Max Martin comes in."

Shannon's excitement matched my own. "I'll get in touch with his team right away and see if we can schedule some time for you to meet with him while you're in Malibu. Maybe he can help you fine-tune those songs and even collaborate on some new ones."

As we discussed the logistics of reaching out to Max Martin, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. 'Eternal Sunshine' was more than just an album title—it was a concept, a vision that I was eager to bring to life.
