Late-night rendezvous with an unknown man?

It was last night that we received an anonymous mail with information about Tatiana Castiello's whereabouts and a picture that was taken late at night with Castiello walking down the streets with an unknown man. Fans are currently speculating who the man is but we here at Enews are happy to reveal that Castiello is currently in Miami, and we also happen to know that there's currently a certain Grand Prix happening this weekend. Could it be that Castiello's new boy is involved in the exclusive motorsport world known as Formula One?

There are things in life that you start to understand years later after it happened. Unfortunately for me, I never seemed to understand the fragile status of being someone famous despite having been born into a family where celebrity status is something that will be given to you an hour after you've been born.

I knew that the tabloids would somehow manage to find out about my late-night walk with Max yesterday, but I never expected them to find out about it the morning after my walk.

Somehow, I had underestimated the paparazzi again despite me growing up under the spotlight. It wasn't like I was ashamed of people finding out about my friendship with the currently reigning world champion in Formula 1.

However, I wasn't naive enough to not believe that the media would tear me apart and label me a homewrecker if words got out that instead of spending the night with his girlfriend Kelly, he was instead spending it with another woman. It doesn't matter to them if we are just friends, I would still be put under the microscope to be inspected and prodded like a cow up for auction just so they can finally determine whether Max's a cheater or if I'm the evil woman who's out to wreck a happy home.

While I find a lot of beautiful things in this world, I am not blind to the cruel and sinister side the world has to offer.

I sighed as I lay quietly on my bed and stared at the ceiling. Cinnamon Girl by Lana Del Rey played on a low volume on my phone. It is my comfort song, and quite frankly, I related heavily to it. I would rather commit first-degree murder on myself than confess my love to the person I like first.

The song stopped playing as my ringtone "Drown me out" interrupted, the song playing louder and louder the longer I let it ring.

"Tatiana." I put the phone close to my ear as I sat up from my bed.

"Finally decided to answer, you little dipshit?" Lucette asked. I sighed quietly to myself. 'Here we go again.' I thought to myself.

Lucette, bless her heart, was a great older sister, but her tendency to only call me whenever I've done something should be studied. Although she tends to call me more than Avaluna does, perhaps I should cut her some slack.

"I am doing well, thank you for asking, Luce. How are you?"

"Right, sorry. I'm good, too. Now, is there something you want to tell us? You're on speaker, by the way." I closed my eyes. I could already tell that this phone call would turn into an interrogation.

"Nope. There's nothing I have to tell you about." I could hear my father's deep laughter through the phone.

"My little fairy queen, who was the man you were seen with yesterday? Will you introduce us to him in the near future?" He asked. I let out a snort at that. How do I tell him that the man he wants to meet is his adopted son in everything but blood and on paper.

"There's no unknown man, Pa. It was just Max."

"Honey, I'm happy that you and Max are good friends, but doesn't he already have a girlfriend?" My mother wondered. She had probably grabbed the phone from the table and turned off the speaker as I no longer could hear the light noises from my father or sisters.

"Mother, nothing is going on between him and I. I just wanted to go on a night walk and asked him to keep me company, and he agreed. Max is still happily in love with Kelly. Besides, he adores Penelope." I answered, already having been prepared for this conversation.

"That's good to hear. You should call us more often, baby." My mother softly said through the phone. I smiled as I rolled over to lay on my stomach.

"I'll try my best to call more often, ma."
"How's your album coming along?" She wondered.

"It has been put on hold for now. I need two more songs on the album, and I also need to find someone willing to shoot a music video with me. Unfortunately, I don't have the right inspiration right now for the last two songs." I replied. I took a strand of my hair and mindlessly played with it, rolling it around my finger.

"You know you just need to ask us, my little princess. Both me and your father would do anything to get you the best producers and editors for your music video. All you need to do is just ask us." My mother gently said, her words carrying her overwhelming love for me through the phone.

"I know, Mama. I need to go now, though. Max and Kelly promised to pick me up so all three could arrive at the paddock together." I softly informed her. "Please send my love to the rest of the family. I love you all. Kisses and hugs."

"I will do that, and I love you too, my beautiful daughter. Kisses and hugs." My mother replied before she ended the call.

I stared at the black screen before I decided to get up from my bed and get ready for the day. Max had texted me an hour ago telling me that they would pick me up in three hours. Or, well, two hours now since an hour has already passed.

I walked over to my suitcase as I contemplated on what outfit to wear. Perhaps it is time for me to restart my infamous outfit poll on my Instagram story. Although I don't have enough time for that. Maybe just posting a story will be enough.
