We Found Love

ACT 16

ACT 16

The loud slam of the hotel unit's door echoed down the hall and succeeded in cutting off the woman that was lecturing the visibly vexed diva, who made sure to lock the door behind her before walking away from it. Evelynn cursed under her breath as she stepped into the bedroom, tossing her purse to the bed before she started disrobing herself.

What happened between her and her parents at the Academy Awards would probably be all over social media if it weren't for the trending celebrity scandal that was uncovered during one of the backstage interviews.

Avalynn kept telling her daughter how she did not know her place and that all she needed to do was behave for a single night, which she supposedly failed when she defended her fellow K/DA from an interviewer at the red carpet. The older woman also claimed that Evelynn was ungrateful for the extra publicity she and her father had given her when they had her accompany them in attending the Awards.

It's honestly a surprise that Evelynn didn't completely snap at her mother during the event itself. The pleading look her father had given her during the incident was enough for her to control her anger enough for it to explode entirely only when they were back to the hotel.

What happened you wonder?

Lights flashing, dozens of cameras recording and countless voices overlapping, despite everything just beginning, Evelynn was already developing a growing headache. Whenever she and her fellow K/DA went through a crowd with cameras taking pictures of them and fans screaming for their attention, she felt more at ease since she was accompanied by people she's actually fond with.

Unlike what was mentioned, she was there at the Academy Awards with her parents. She was there only for the fact that her mother wanted to maintain the 'perfect family' image they have with the media. As she walked along with her parents down the red carpet, Evelynn couldn't help but question why she chose to just follow what her mother wants.

Her thoughts were interrupted when their walk came to a halt in front of a man holding a camera with the mark of 'Riot Studio' stuck to the side of the equipment. The latter was accompanied by a blond guy with a microphone, the grin on his face widening as he stepped towards them, adjusting his red blazer in the process.

"As much as I know you viewers love seeing my face on television," The host of Primetime Valoran, Draven, cracked jokingly at the camera before approaching Evelynn and her family. "I'm sure all of you would love seeing me interview the golden family of Hollywood!"

Much to Evelynn's luck, her parents ended up being pulled aside for another photo session, which ended up leaving her with the grinning blond. With ease, she offered that smile that fooled everyone, and that included even the viewers from home.

"While we wait for the golden couple to get back, how 'bout we get a couple words from their lovely daughter?" Draven gave a little wink at the diva, who automatically replied with a light chuckle. "How are things, Eve?"

"Great as always, Draven." Evelynn smoothly answered. "Feeling rather proud of my parents once again."

"You think they'll win the Awards again this year?"

Evelynn lightly scoffed and waved a hand at him. "Of course, darling. These are my parents after all."

"Alright, alright, well, we all know what usually gets talked about in this conversation, so let's switch to a topic that thousands of viewers would love to talk about with you." Draven began, indirectly telling her to prepare for what he had in mind.
