Alyia's POV. "Ma'am, you must change for your next shoot.""Ma'am?""Ma'am, Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up. We will be late for your next shoot.""Ma'am, is something bothering you?"It is Mira's voice who brought me back to reality. "Hmm? Nothing.", I said while shaking my head. "You've been spacing out since we left your condo, ma'am.", Mira said while holding clothes that I suppose, I'll be using for this shoot. "Nah. It's really nothing, Mira.", I stated while looking at the clothes she's holding. "Also, Cole keeps on calling me. Should I call him back, ma'am? I think he's worried because we left him at your condo while he's still sleeping.", Mira added. I quickly shook my head. "No. Let him be.", I said while still shaking my head. "By the way, what are those clothes for? Is that for my shoot?", I asked her as I point the clothes that she's holding. "Oh! Yes! These are for your shoot later, ma'am. Ma'am Iya said that you must hurry up and change.", Mira said as she
Cosmos' POV."Will you please stop walking around, ag Cosmos? It's making me more worried.", I heard Iya's voice said to me.It's been hours since we can't contact Alyia and it's driving me nuts. She's in danger, that's what I am thinking the whole time. "How can you be that calm? Alyia is missing for hours.", I said and turned my sight on my wrist watch. It's already 11;36 PM. It's really late and dangerous. "I'm sure she's safe. Let's just wait for an update.", Iya said with the same calm voice. "How can you be so sure that she's safe? You hired me to protect her but here we are, we can't find Ma'am Alyia.", I said as I walk around again. "I got news!", a voice said from the door. I immediately went near Mira who said those words. "What? Did you find out where Ma'am Alyia is?", I asked her with worry. "I didn't but the police is ready to help us in any way that they could. We'll just report Miss Alyia as a missing person then, they will do what they can to help us.", she ans
Alyia's POV. "Here, eat these."It was Clay who gave me a tray. I stared at it and was hesitant if I should take it or just let it be. I'm getting hungry. It's been minutes since they contacted Cosmos. Is he really going to save me? In this situation I am in right now, how can I save myself if no one will? I'm feeling useless. Useless because I've been spending my life in a waste. I can't even defend myself."Hey? Miss Alyia?"When I turned my gaze to Clay, he was already snapping his fingers. "How can you act this way if you're going to harm me, after all? Why feed me if I'll just die here?", I asked him trying not to show any reaction. "Just eat, Miss.", he said and disappeared from my sight. I let out a deep sigh while staring at the food. So, how will I eat if I'm covered with rope here? They're really a pack of idiots. While staring at the food, I feel like hearing tik toks of clocks in my head. Tik tok tik tok tik tok. Another minute have passed. Cosmos... It's bee
Cosmos' POV. I sighed in relief when we got in Alyia's condo unit safely. I just laid her down on the sofa and put pillows on her head to make her comfortable and covered her with blanket so that she won't feel cold. I stood up and walked my way to the window. I just did something that the deity told me not to. I feel like betraying her now. I don't know but I feel like I don't regret saving Alyia using my powers. At least, she's safe. That's all that matters to me now. All that matters to me now is her and her safety. I don't like the feeling of worrying about her. She's like this tiny girl that I feel like she's in need of help all the time. Her eyes screams sadness. Her actions are so limited. I feel like she's prohibiting herself not to feel this or that which is actually wrong. A person has his/her free will. He/she has the freedom to feel or speak out his/her opinion. This person, Alyia is one of those people that needs to be saved. That needs to be taught how to let your
Alyia's POV. "Everything is ready, Ma'am. Shall we start?", Mira asked while staring at me waiting for my approval. I turned my back to Cosmos and saw that he just gave me a wink and mouthed 'I got your back' that made me smile. "I'm ready.", I said that caused Mira to open the door. The moment she opened it, flashes of camera welcomed me as I walk to the long table and a seat reserved for me and Mira. Once I reached the table, I adjusted the mic to let my height be equal to it. "Good morning. I hope you're all doing fine. As you know, I am here to answer your questions but before that, I want all of my fans to know that I'm safe and not so well but I am trying my best to beat my trauma because of what happened. I know that most of you are waiting for my official statement regarding all of my activities lately so here I am.", I said as an opening. I saw so many media which isn't new for my sight at all, I know that they will be here. I know that this day, I must be careful of wh
Alyia's POV. "Ma'am, please get ready for another shoot. We're about to start in just a few minutes." I heard Mira's voice said from outside. "On it!" I shouted back as an answer. Before grabbing my things, I heard her footsteps taking its steps away from the door. It's been days since the press conference happened. I took a rest from all of the cameras for a while. Disconnecting from everyone except for Cosmos and Mira isn't easy since I used to tell everyone what I'm up to.The past few days, I let myself rest from everyone outside my condo. I know that my name is still burning because of what happened the last day that I showed myself to the public. Now, it's my second shoot this day in a private place. This magazine will come out in a week and the people here are just a few. I requested it to be this private because I was planning to make a come back in a week from now. I'm just getting ready for what the public reacts towards me. I know that they have different opinions towa
Alyia's POV."We're here to claim what's ours." She said that made me so confused. "Cherry!" The woman exclaimed that didn't make me stop staring at the girl. "I'm so sorry about that, Alyia." The woman added and paid her attention to me. I tried to smile but I can't do it without the awkwardness filling inside this room that we're currently at. "Uh? Miss Alyia really feels this uncomfortable when she has a visitor. Most especially when you're at her house. Can I know what brought you here, Ma'am?" Mira cut in whom saved me from that awkward moment that I was in. "Maybe it's really unusual but we're here to visit you, dear." The middle-aged woman said and smiled at me. "What for?" I asked briefly and straight to their faces. I know that I mustn't be this way but that girl got into my nerves quickly. I can still feel his glares to me that is really annoying me now. She's currently in my place, for goodness sake! Can't she realize that? At least pay respect since you're just visi
Alyia's POV. "You know? You're just hungry." I said to lessen the uncertain aura filling us now. I looked inside the bags and found the box where the chicken wings are in. I opened it after snatching it from Cosmos and took a piece of it. "Here. Have some." I said and quickly put the bit size chicken wings in Cosmos' mouth. He frowned which made me chuckle. He's joking a while ago, right? Of course, there's no way that what he said to you were all true, a voice answered me through my mind. "I'll just go get the rice and you! you must have the table ready when I finished getting us rice, got it?" I said to his face. He's still trying to finish chewing the piece of chicken inside him so he just gave me a salute, indicating that he understood. I gestured him that I got my eyes on him that just made her smile widely. The kind of smile that hides your eyes. He's really cute when he does that. Wait, what?! Cute who? No, he's not! He's still that annoying bodyguard that I met months
