Caught in the Fire (Temptress Series #1)

Chapter 4

Days have passed and my life become more and more boring. I was forced to stay inside my condo because the last time I went out, I got involved in a cat fight with KayXen fans. 

Galit na galit si Tita kasi nga nagdagdag na naman ako ng bagong issue eh hindi pa nakakalimutan ng mga tao ang mga naunang issues ko. Hindi pa nakatulong ang pagrant ko sa social media patungkol sa mga crazy fans. I was bombarded with hate messages and comments in my socmed accounts.. kaya naman nagdeactivate  ako. No matter how much I don't want to deactivate my social media account because it only shows that I'm affected, I needed to do it as per request of Tita who's still mad at me.

I sighed. I want to go bar again and drown myself with alcohol. But I don't want to create another scandal anymore. 

Bakit ba sa tuwing lumalabas ako may nangyayaring kakaiba. The last time I went to bar, inuwi ako ng hindi kilalang tao. I was thankful naman kasi talagang tinotoo niya ang sinabing I don't care about your life. Eventhough he assured me that he's not the one who changed me hindi pa rin mawawala ang posilidad na nagsingungaling siya. I was anxious pagkauwi ko kasi baka may lumabas na namang issue na nakipagone night stand ako or my naked photos circulating online. But thankfully weeks have passed and that didn't happened. 

Tssk, I would probably flirted with that man if this was before. He's just my type. Pasok sa standard ko... baka sumobra pa nga. Too bad I have a lot of issues in life right now.

I was on the last piece of my pizza when I received a call from Tita. I immediately canceled it.

"Kota na ako sa sermon ngayong linggo." inis kong sabi. Tumatawag lang naman siya para pagalitan ako. It's almost 2 months and wala pa itong nakukuhang projects para sa akin.

I also tried to speak with directors and producers I know but there's is no projects available daw. Halos isuka na ako ng showbiz. Pag ako talaga nakabalik, I would definitely make them pay. After this issues was settled, I will reclaim my throne.

Pang labing limang tawag na ni Tita. Maybe emergency. She doesn't bombard me with calls when there's no emergency. Did I get a project?

"Oh my God!" that thoughts excite me kaya sinagot agad ang tawag ni Tita.

"Tita, Did I get any work or projects?" excited kong tanong.

"Are you dating someone? Because there's this article circulating- wait, trending online that you are dating Ivo Del Prado."

"Me? WHAT!?" I panicked. What the fuck? Bakit ito nangyayari sa akin? Scandal after scandal after scandal so on and so forth. I don't even know that fucking man.

"That's a fucking lie and assumption. My god! I don't even know that man?"

This is so fucking frustrating.

"There's this photos showing that you're with him. And actually it's trending in the internet. This is Ivo Del Prado we're talking about after all."

I don't know if I should be offended or worried on what she said.

"Excuse me! It's trending of course cause it's me. Serene Quinn Fuentes is involved after all, and maybe that pictures was photoshop. Baka naman obsess iyong guy sa akin."

"Wala sa mukha na gagawin ni Ivo iyon, Baka ikaw pa,oo" 

Napairap ako sa kayang sinabi. 

I heard Tita sighed loudly in the other line.

"I can tell if the pictures is real or edited. I know it, Serene. And this scandal was trending of course because  you are there but became more big and talk of the town because a controversial actress was involved with a respectable business tycoon. Del Prado is a respectable clan in politics and business."
