Micheal Banes is the man who had it all. The money, the fame, the looks, he had power and even a nine month old daughter who he can't seem to raise. He hired a nanny to take care of her while he's at work and drop her off at his parents when the car...

As I placed my clothes on, the detective spoke to me. "We don't have anything yet but when we do, we'll call you." I thanked him buttoning my shirt to see that my buttons were missing. "Uh, Monica?" She came in the room seeing my state. "I think something is missing, can you guess?" She then bit her big, plump lips. "I can explain." I have no idea why but that made me laugh. "Oh I bet you can."
~ ~ ~ Finally back in America, the entire trip, Monica made sure I was fine and made sure I had a lot of water but what I didn't want was paparazzi. "Oh great." I got up. "Stay close to me don't look up and don't answer." With that I rushed out the jet.
"Mr. Banes! Is it true that you were drugged?" A woman yelled.
"Have you found the person?" Another one yelled.
"Mr. Banes! Who's the woman?" One screamed. We just kept walking.
"Is it true that you staged it off so you won't have to look after a kid?" Okay that one was just fucked up. It took all in me not to answer back.
"Mr. Banes! Is she your new girlfriend? Is she pregnant too?" Knowing that Monica would answer, I grabbed her hand, making a run for it to the car. "Did you hear that prick?" She asked me. "It's what they do, they try to get under your skin so you give them reaction." She leaned back on the chair. "I'm too tired for this." She mumbled.

"I'll see you at work tomorrow, miss Rhodes." She waved lazily before grabbing her bag and walking to her apartment. A ghost smile appeared on my lips. She was a woman that any man would need. "Let's go." I said as the car pulled off.

"I missed you!" Luna screamed as I walked in. "I missed you too." She ran toward me but not to hug me but for my suitcase. "What did you get me?" She sat on the couch opening it up. "Designer shoes? Who treated you? That boss of yours I hope." I rolled my eyes at her. Something was wrong with this girl. "No, actually it was the man who he was doing the deal with." Her face scrunched up. "Isn't he, I don't know, close to death?"
"Don't be rude! The man just needed a little attention in his life, I don't see the problem." She rolled her eyes then found the clothes I bought for her. "As long as you didn't sleep with him." She knew damn well I wasn't going to do that. "So how was it?" She asked me again. "Beautiful, of course, Micheal had to try me and of course I answered back but other than that, we went to a party and I looked beautiful but sadly the dress was too big to fit in my suitcase." I skipped out the part of the drugging.
"I wish I was there." A yawn escaped my mouth. "Go take a nap, you look tired; we'll talk later." With that I got up ,leaving her to her clothes. As I made it to my room and about to close my eyes, I heard something, making my stomach drop.
"Oh and before we go breaking news on Celeb Watch! Mr. Micheal Banes of Banes' Worldwide was seen with a woman at the airport earlier today, it looks like they were getting pretty busy with each other as most of his shirt buttons were missing. A video of them were shown. "As the people asked their questions, Mr. Micheal grabbed her hand making their way to the car. Super model and ex lover of Micheal Banes said and I quote 'He will forever use woman for his own needs and will play with their hearts until he gets what he wants' and end quote." A woman asked smiling at the camera. "I didn't know he liked chocolate." One joked.
I ran out to see Luna watching the TV, her jaw dropped, her hands clenched the remote.
"Is she his new victim? Or is this one of his many flings? Super model and ex lover says, ' We'll bring you more on the next episode of Celeb Watch."
She turned to me as if she saw me behind her. "It's not what you think, Luna. I can explain this." Before I could speak, my phone rang.
"Hello-" I was cut off.
"So you screwing rich white men for money now, Monica? Is that your job?" It was my mom.
"No mom, they got it wron-" She cut me off again.
"I knew you were trouble since the day you came home! I should have aborted when I had the chance."
Tears filled my eyes, I know she says a lot of things but this was a deal breaker. "You were an embarrassment then and you're an embarrassment now."
"Mom how can you say that to me? You're my mother, you're supposed to love me and stick by me no matter what."
"No daughter of mine is a slut." With that she hung up on me. Luna just hugged me, knowing how that conversation just went. "It's fine, you have me and that's all you need." I hugged her tightly. "I'm so happy I have you in my life." I don't cry a lot but this hurt me. My own mother. "Calm down, baby mama, let me get you some water and we'll talk about this."

I punched my desk harder and harder. Those damn reporters.
"Sir calm down, we're getting the issue taken care of." The woman on the other side of the desk shrink in. "I want that headline down or I'll sue the entire company." She nods her head. She may be the chief of all of this but she can never be scarier than me. "It'll take a few days but I will make it go away." I got up. "You better make sure when I look on your website or any website and I see it, you will be on the streets."
"Understood sir." With that I walked out the building with my head held high. I called Monica to tell her but someone else answered the phone.
"Hello?" She spoke.
"To whom would I be speaking to?"
"Luna with a 'u' and who are you?" She snapped back. She's the Asian woman I met in the airport.
"I'm Monica's boss, is she around?"
"Nope, want me to give her a message? Even though you ruined her life and everything." I looked at the phone then placed it back to my ear.
"Tell her I'm getting it sorted out and she doesn't have to come in for a couple days." Her end became silent for a while.
"You may have deleted it but people have already seen it, this won't help if that's what you're thinking." I knew she was right but it was worth a shot.
Then she continued. "But I'll tell her you called." I hung up the phone making my way to my princess. Too much shit at once can really fuck with you.
