Kayden's team was in the office, it's been a hectic week for them. From them getting calls from fans to ask to reduce Kayden's workload, to them being given death threats by toxic fans.
Star entertainment was extra busy. Kayden's new album promotion, photoshoots, and fan signing event were being planned.“Boy! You really did have to say that.” Alfred said as he huffed, taking his executive seat.Kayden, who was sitting down on the expensive black couch in Alfred's office, just, kept on typing on his phone.“I had too. Catherine and Eylon kept bothering me. And yes, I was being overworked, I am exhausted”“I understand, but why is the name of your album green and why did you tell the production team to change the albums cover to your design, green eyes!” Alfred huffed out.Kayden just kept his phone and stared at Alfred like he had grown two horns with the way he was shouting.“Calm down, Alf, it's not that deep.”“You changed, ever since you came back from your vacation months ago, did something happen? Because you are not behaving quite like yourself.” Alfred said.“Well, I found an inspiration, I learned quite a lot during my vacation. Yes, I am keeping stuffs from you because it's private.” Kayden said, looking at Alfred, who was staring widely at him.“Boy, you better cut that crap and tell me.” Alfred said with pique interest.“Well, don't shout at me, just listen.” Kayden said, calmly watching Alfred's reaction.“Go on” Alfred said, motioning to him to start the conversation.“Jace and I went out on a midnight drive one day during my vacation, Jace mistook a girl as a stalker and got her hurt.......” Kayden said slowly.“WHAT!” Alfred screamed.“Don't yell at me, it was not my intention.” Kayden sad defensively.“Is she black mailing you?” Alfred asked worriedly, already thinking of ways to eliminate the threat.“Quite the opposite, actually, I asked her to dm me privately, and she did not.” Kayden said, sitting up, staring at Alfred.He was still shocked. He must have gotten used to getting everything he wanted, he did not like the feeling of being rejected, it reminded him of his past. One thing about Kayden was that he hated his past.“What does she have to do with all these?”“I keep thinking about her, I even paid a private investigator to keep tabs on her” Kayden said in a low tone, obviously not wanting Alfred to catch that part.“You fucking did what?” Alfred shouted.“In my defense, I was star struck. She's the prettiest girl alive.” Kayden said.Alfred was dumbfounded, he was tired of shouting at Kayden. One thing he noticed was that his eyes were bright and full of life.Something he thought he had lost, the gift of seeing Kayden's eyes shinning brightly.“Have you told her yet?” Alfred asked.“No, I haven't, the only reason I hired a private investigator was that she wasn't on any social media platform” Kayden said, feeling a bit ashamed of his actions.“After, your album promotion and release, you'll take a 6-month hiatus. You deserve to rest and get your inspiration back, and, of course, these are flimsy excuses, you need to get her.” Alfred said to Kayden, whose eyes lit up instantly with happiness.“Really?” Kayden asked.“Of course, as your manager and boss I disagree strongly, but as your guidian, I say you go chase this girl” Alfred said.“You really want to let me go after a girl you know nothing about. She's not a celebrity, she's a college student” Kayden said.“Even better, well speaking of college, we have a little bit of problem,” Alfred said in a serious tone.“What is it now?” Kayden sighed, not liking the change in his tone.“So there's a new policy about online degrees, I know you've been working hard but due to excess fabrications and loss of college documents, online college students are now expected to attend their college physically at least for 1 year” Alfred ended.Kayden stared at him like he was mad.“I tried pushing this as far as I could, that's why after this music season you get to take some days off and start a life as a student. ”Alfred said.“Your big speech about chasing the girl of my dreams was just to butter me up? I would really be taking a hiatus not for six months but a year?” Kayden asked bewildered.“I am sorry, I didn't know how to break the news to you.” Alfred said apologetically.Kayden stared at Alfred for some time and then finally spoke.“You really are a strategist, do I get to decide the college I get to finish my programme?” Kayden said, hoping it was possible.“Yes, you do. That's the least I could do for you.”“Alright then, I'll go to Regal University to complete my programme. I want to be a graduate, you know?” Kayden said.“You mean Regal University in New City?” Alfred asked.“Yes that one.” Kayden answered as he sunk deeper into the comfy couch.“Any reason in particular?” Alfred asked.“I am just trying to chase my dream in the top world-class university, ” Kayden said as he waved Alfred off.The conversation wasn't bad as how Alfred had imagined it would. Normal, Kayden would have thrown a tantrum.Looking at the files on his desk, he let out a deep long sigh.He has a lot to tell the press. From Kayden's Album release to his hiatus due to the world education policy, God! Everything has been hard.Signing and rejecting files, he looked up from the paper to see a sleeping Kayden.Alfred was happy because Kayden had stopped using Pills for the past months, a huge progress. He was grateful to the Angel God must have sent Kayden's way.Alfred also excluded some information. He didn't want Kayden to know that his parents visited his home and caused a huge scene. He didn't want to bother Kayden. Furthermore, he had gone through so much already.If Kayden knew about it, there would be no telling what he would do. He hated hos parents that much.Finally done with that day's workload, he went over to Kayden.“Get up Boy, it's time to leave,” Alfred said to Kayden, who stirred in his sleep.“Just a minute I am this close to kissing her” Kayden mumbled sleepily.“Get up now! You absolutely will not have a wet dream in my office” Alfred shouted.The audacity of this Kid. He was so happy that Kayden would be taking a hiatus, he needed to rest from all this too.Kayden's album was a massive success, breaking multiple world records and musical records.“Kayden, this is the greatest album of this generation, as Borbes calls it. What's your great inspiration behind this masterpiece” A reporter asked.“Green?” Kayden said, chuckling as everyone laughed.“Rumours have it that you wrote the songs in your album based on the Princess of Dain” another reporter asked.“That's absurd! Elle and I are just friends and nothing more” Kayden said, stunning the reporters and also himself.Why did he overreact? He questioned himself.He realised that he did that to refute every type of rumour in case his anti-social media green-eyed queen was watching.“Why did you refuse to endorse your father's brand.” A reporter said.This time, the camera flashes increased as everyone was interested in hearing his response.“I would be leaving the music industry for a while, though I would be going back to college for my final year in college.” Immediately, those words lef
HEY! It's Kayden here.I started craving to be a star. I've heard stories of fame, and I've seen the performances of superstars doing what they loved.Fame isn't East to achieve. I worked every hour, minute, and second of the clock to perfect my vocals.I remember playing the piano and singing in front of a live audience a very hard song, it was named the hardest song in the world.I could remember the feeling of having everyone stare at me in awe, my teachers even told me to go for singing competitions.I went back home smiling, waving the servants around my house. I remember I was so excited for dinner because for the first time in a long time I was going to see my parents.Dinner started peacefully, dad asked about school and I responded happily, knowing how good it felt to have everyone compliment in front of everyone.I told my father about my dreams of becoming a singer. To be honest, a pretty stupid decision on my part because the next thing I knew was, I was outside sleeping w
Rumours about Kayden's presence at Regal University started spreading as it became a hot topic in the school.“Did you hear about the news of my husband's arrival?” A girl screamed loudly.“I head, people said he was in the garden last night.” The other girl said loudly.“But wasn't he supposed to start next year? I mean, we are already writing our exams.” The other girl said.Gemma couldn't focus because of the girls chattering loudly behind her. She sighed as she spurned her pen in her hand.She was exhausted today because she had just gone for an apartment hunting. The apartment she had found was nice and really comfy, the best one she had seen so far. But the thing was that someone else got the same place she desperately wanted. The person had agreed that they would share the room. But her introverted self cannot handle this. Her scholarship runs for only her 1st and 2nd years of her stay. She would be entering the 3rd and then her scholarship would be terminated.She had some s
“What the fuck is wrong with the educational board? Sow many stupid policies and for what” Ava growled out in annoyance.Gemma had told Ava about her living off campus, due to the changes in the education system. She should have expected that her lovely friend would blow the issue out of proportion. Gemma is truly happy to have such a nut job as her friend.“Are, you, sure you can handle this?” Ava asked again, pouting as Gemma kept cleaning up her space. “I'll be fine, besides we get to be in our 3rd yearsCongratulations to us” Gemma said, trying to change the subject.“Where would you be staying at?” Ava asked with a concerned look.“Hill's apartment, it's just about 30 minutes from here. It's the closest place to school.” Gemma said, trying to cheer her friend up.“But it's expensive, how can you….” Ava words were cut off my Gemma's hug.“I got this, really.” Gemma whispered. “I am going to miss you so much.” Ava whined. Gemma is happy to really have a friend like Ava. She jus
A new semester has begun. The whole world is waiting for the arrival of Kayden King into Regal Academy.“Fucking wake up!you will be late on your first day” Gemma screamed at him from the door.Kayden locked his room to avoid Gemma from entering.“Kayden!” Gemma shouted once more.The door opened as Gemma saw an already dressed Kayden.“You should have answered at least!” Gemma said, punching him softly.“It's fun taunting you. It's the best way to start my day.” Kayden said, giving her a bright smile.“I'll be heading out first. Welcome to the stressful part of life, dear superstar.” Gemma said as she turned to leave.“Let me drop you close to school….” Gemma interrupted almost immediately “And have toxic fans burn me at the stake? Thank you, but please remember that outside this room, there's no chance of me getting close to you.” Gemma said as she left for the door.The fact that Gemma was stating the obvious was what made him feel more unsettled.For the past one month, Gemma and
Ava was physically red with anger. The audacity of this man to seat in the same space as her is infuriating, but like her bestie said, she's going to ignore this human trash called Damien.“Is there a rule that says I can't attend a university of my chosen because Kayden is attending?” Damien asked loudly for everyone to hear.“Don't talk loudly, my ears are quite sensitive.” Gemma said to Damien.“Excuse me?” Damien asked Gemma.The only reason he approached her was to irk Kayden. His agent had told him about Kayden attending a university on the suspicion that he liked someone.After thorough investigation, he found one thing in common with all the pictures taken, he found out that Gemma was the most reoccurring feature.Damien cannot believe the amount of loathe he could see and feel from the girl sitting calmly beside him.He was already used to hate, people did not bother him, he would do whatever he liked and wouldn't care, but right now, he seems like he cares a lot.This pretty
Things pretty much died after some time. It's been two months since the incident, and everyone had forgotten about it.At least most have.“I thought we were friends, we were cool together, so why the fuck......” Ava mumbled to herself, pulling her hair hard.Ava had just found out that Gemma lived with Kayden.She had her suspicions that they knew each other because of how fondly he acted with her on his first day.Gemma and Kayden acted like complete strangers after that incident.She was on her way back from a shopping spree, the one going that takes her mind off her whoring father.Ava saw Gemma coming out from a department store, where she took a taxi. She had initially wanted to say hi to her bestie, so she decided to follow her to her apartment. She had been actually curious about how her friend has been living, and because Gemma doesn't like talking about her new place.So Ava assumed it was because she was having a hard time, and she didn't want to disturb her.Gemma is so
Sweat was dripping from Gemma's head after she had read the message that she had just received.WTF! Ava knows she's living with Kayden?How?Gemma racked her head to find every possibility.Was Ava feeling betrayed and devastated right now?She has all right to be, her best friend is her celebrity crush roommate.Gemma was thoughts were scattered all over the place.She tried to collect her thoughts but is failing miserably.She immediately messaged Kayden, telling him about her situation with Ava.“If she knows already, then come clean” Kayden replied to her messaged.“This idiot” she mumbled.Of course, she was going to come clean, she didn't like the fact that Ava found out first.She wanted to tell Ava herself, Ava must be furious at her, after all she had been worried about her most of the time.She's so scared that her friendship with Ava would be affected. Her heart was beating like crazy, it's like she had just run a marathon race.“I really do not understand anything about t
