The Scandal.
Seth was worried about Doctor Sandra, He kept calling her as they rode home.
" Uhmmmm guys we have something to say, Jimmy cleared his throat.
" Spill the beans,Eddy said.
" Amanda and I are dating...Now before you guys say anything or criticize us we know the effects of our relationship and we are going to make it work regardless of the odds, Jimmy smiled.
" Okay that came as a shock, Adrian laughed
" Amanda is this what you want???? Daniel asked..
" I can't run from it and I am very sure it's what I want, Amanda said.
" Then congratulations guys…. Eddy smiled
" Seth what do you think????? Jimmy asked Seth who was looking outside the window.
" Uhmmmm….I also have something I want to say…. Seth sat up.
" Wowww, It's confession time..Eddy smiled.
" Sandra and I are dating...We haven't made it official yet but I was hoping I tell you guys first.. Seth announced.
" Yes !!!!!!! Eddy laughed.
" Woaahhh calm down man, Jimmy laughed.
" Congratulations dude…. Adrian said he was rooting for Daniel but almost half percent of himself wanted him to be with her so he was excited.
" So Uhmmm where is she now??? Daniel asked putting on a fake smile.
" She's at the villa now, Seth said.
" Since we are exposing secrets, Lisa and I are expecting and we are engaged !!!!? Adrian raised Lisa's hands.
" Okay that's big news… Eddy screamed in excitement.
" Congratulations…. Amanda hugged her.
" Thanks alot…. Lisa smiled.
" It seems like we are planning a wedding…. Jimmy laughed.
" Dude… I always thought Seth would get married first... Daniel laughed.
" Really!!!!! Seth laughed.
" Yes... It's always the tough ones... Daniel laughed.
" You guys congratulations….Seth laughed.
They arrived at the MG mansion, Amanda's assistant was already there to take her to her hotel room, Lisa was going to spend the night here with Adrian but Seth couldn't find Tessa anywhere.
Tessa's pov.
I freshened up and I stood in front of the mirror,I sighed because I have been overthinking all night.
" It's a call from the elderly home... Miley ran in.
" Do they call often??? I asked.
" They only call when something is wrong, Miley gasped.
" It's nothing... Let's be positive, Pick the call...I sighed.
" Hello Heritage Elderly home on the line...A lady said immediately the call connected.
" I see ..Is everything okay??? Miley asked..
" We are calling to inform you that Mrs Bakers has been terribly ill,She has been in a sickbed for a long time so we thought it wise to inform you about her health...The lady said..
" Oh my God!!!! Is she alright????I asked.
" She needs your attention and we will really appreciate it if you come to see her as soon as you can,The lady said.
" We are on our way ...We are on our way right now…..I said in one breath.
" Okay then she will be really excited to see you guys, We are looking forward to see you,The Lady hung up.
" You remember we told grandma you left with Sandra right???? Miley asked.
" I know that but you heard the lady, She's really ill,What else can I do ??? Miley I can't help the situation,I said grabbing my phone.
" What about Seth he thinks you are at the MG mansion now right???? Miley asked coming along..
" We can take care of that later, Right now grandma is what's important...I said adding more speed.
It was almost two hours drive to the elderly home and I don't think,I was going to have a proper rest with grandma not feeling well... You heard her say she's terribly ill right???? I said.
" She must have been feeling so lonely!!!! We have been so occupied we haven't even called to say hello and I haven't visited...I have so bad ... Miley sighed.
" I feel bad too….I muttered.
We arrived at the elderly home at 3pm,We rushed down from the van and headed for the building.
" We are here to see someone please...I said trying to catch my breath.
" Who is she ?? A nun asked.
" She's the lady at that lodge...One of the nun said to her colleague.
" Ohhhh!!!! She's in charge of that ward so you can go with her…. She said.
" Please can you take me to her ???? Take us there please...We pleaded and the man showed us her lodge. Grandma had her Bluetooth speaker on and she was dancing when we walked in.
" Grandma!!!!!. Miley and I hugged her.
" We are aos sorry for leaving you and not checking on you constantly…. Alot of things came up,I said.
" What are you doing here ????? You are supposed to be with Sandra!!!! Grandma asked.
" Am here because someone called you were really ill and advised se meet you that's why we are here!!!! I said.
" Ohhhh!!!! I just said that because I wanted to see and talk to you guys again,She laughed.
" Granny!!!!! I laughed.
" So how is Sandra???? Do you guys still lookalike??? Is she fatter or thin???? Her skin looks okay right???? How is her job?m She must have a man because she's beautiful and hardworking, Does she over stress herself???? She treats you right doesn't she…. Tell me everything…
" She's good,I faked a smile.
" What about you???? Did you cope ?? What have you been doing there ??? Do you have a boyfriend now ????
" Yes grandma I do have a boyfriend,I smiled this time it was real.
" Wowwwww !!!!! How did you guys meet ??? Tell me everything..
" Granny !!!! I have something to say ..I have something to tell you….I stuttered.
" Sure you can….
" When it was diagnosed that the only one to save you was by the operation but what was a problem was the I had no money...Leo scammed me and I was down to rock buttom..I had nothing to do and I couldn't let you do so I took the job….
" What job ????]
" Popular band member was diagnosed with sleep walking,A therapy recommendations was already attached to the name but surprisingly Sandra didn't take the Job because she was leaving the country,I met with the CEO and she mistook me for Sandra she kept on pleading that Sandra should take the job and later left me with her card,I had no intentions of taking the job but you feel ill and I was so scared,I didn't want anything to happen to you so I pretended to be Sandra,I sighed.
" So you have been in the country all these while????? Why didn't you come to see me ???? Grandma asked.
" I was scared and we already told you I left with Sandra... Grandma I am so sorry...I sobbed.
" Tessa come here .. You can't blame yourself, Grandma hugged me.
" I know but I feel trouble coming soon... Somehow I know something wrong is about to happen…..
Seth was upset she wasn't picking her calls,She promised to be at the Villa and now she wasn't there to make matters worse, She sounded so cold when they talked on the phone.
" Seth!!!!! Urgent Face time from Mrs Tae mo... Adrian rushed in.
" I am really not in the mood right now !!!! Seth sighed.
" It's really urgent so you have to come... Daniel walked in..
" Fine…
The boys gathered in their practice room and connected with Mrs Tae mo unlike other days she wasn't smiling at all.
" Aren't you going to ask us how was our trip????? Eddy sighed.
" Pick up your phones and open air news... Read the headlines…Mrs Tae mo frowned running her hands in her hair.
Popular band members Adrian.. Who announced his relationship earlier this week as been confirmed to be expecting a baby with his proposed secretary who happens to be their secretary.
" What is this????? Adrian stuttered.
" How did they know this ????? Seth asked confused.
" So it is true but anyways keep scrolling….Mrs Tae mo said.
In other news another member of the Heartstrings band has been confirmed to be dating Amanda who was the leader Seth's girlfriend, Amanda has been off the internet for a while and though the relationship is a controversial one,It is confirmed that Jimmy has never been a fan of her relationship with Seth.
" Did someone write this ???? I really don't understand….Eddy stuttered..
" Adrian is expecting a baby with Lisa!!!!! And Jimmy...I really don't even know how to say this!!!! Mrs Tae mo screamed.
" How did this news leak ???? It was uploaded by Arise news!!! Wasn't it ??? Eddy asked.
" This is what I was avoiding!!! I allowed your relationship with Lisa because you promised to lay low and not cause anymore scandal and now a baby!!!!! And I am dumbfounded jimmy really!!!! Are you forgetting Seth and Amanda used to be the nations couple!!!! Did you guys even think before taking action???? Mrs Tae mo scolded.
" Mrs Tae mo we are as shocked as you so we appreciate if you take it slowly, Daniel said.
" Are you saying you guys weren't aware of all this???? Mrs Tae mo asked.
" That's not what we are saying!!!! Daniel replied.
" Mrs Tae mo what can you do to take it down ???? Seth asked.
" You guys prepare you have an urgent press meeting by tomorrow, This was what I was avoiding if the fans are more focused on finding out if the rumours are true they will be too distracted when the Album is released!!!! You guys just go to bed and get ready for the press meeting. I don't know anyone to help take down the news but Paul's brother works at Arise news so he might help...Mrs Tae mo hung up.
" What are we going to do ???? Eddy asked.
" How on earth did that news got to the internet,I mean it was only us there at the bus... Jimmy said.
" Clearly we won't do that !!! Then who would???? Daniel asked.
" Lisa wouldn't she was so ashamed to even tell you guys about the news of the baby..They didn't even add the part that we were getting married.. Adrian sighed.
" Whosoever tipped them must have not added that part to cause controversial and stir up hate comments….Eddy stated.
" What's wrong with having a baby???? Adrian sighed.
" You are a star.. Whatsoever you do is the nations business!!! It's the world business…. Daniel sighed.
" It can't be Amanda she didn't even want to be open about our relationship and she knew the effects of our relationship,She was to scared.. Jimmy said.
" We weren't the only one in the party bus…. someone was driving right!!! Who was ???? Seth asked.
" Paul!!!! Paul was driving... Adrian answered.
" What time was the news posted???? Seth asked.
" Approximately two hours after we came home...Eddy said showing him the time.
" We had dinner together and even practiced,None of us has access to our phone during those two hours, Amanda and Lisa were both asleep because of the stress and obviously they weren't the one who tipped the news….Seth said.
" Immediately Paul dropped of us he left in a hurry, It's enough time to tip a reporter off and even publish a story... Daniel added.
" Mrs Tae mo did mention that Paul knew someone who worked at arise news...Eddy said.
" Not someone his brother is a popular reporter... Adrian said crossing his hands in his head.
" We let the brother of a reporter work with us... Jimmy sighed.
" He proved he was to be trusted.. Daniel said.
" Well he's not ….Face time Mrs Tae mo now….. Seth ordered.
" What is the problem???? You guys should be asleep...Mrs Tae mo frowned.
" We found who tipped the reporters and he's one of us...Seth frowned.
" Who ???? And does it even matter the news is already surfaced the internet..Mrs Tae mo yawned.
" Paul!!! It was Paul,Our driver...He was with us the whole time...Seth said.
" What Paul???? Paul Marco... Mrs Tae mo laughed
" Yes….
" The same Paul who has been working with us for years,Is it that same Paul???? Are you guys even being realistic right now ???? Mrs Tae mo frowned.
" Why did you employe him knowing fully well his brother was a reporter ???? Seth asked.
" He has been working with us and we haven't had any scandals???? Mrs Tae mo said.
" Do you think so ??? He was with us when news about me and Amanda break-up surfaced online...Seth said.
" He was also with us when news about me being gay surfaced the Internet... Adrian said.
" He was also here when fake news about me faking my grades to get into college surfaced the internet... Jimmy said..
" He was also here when…..
" Enough!!!! I get it !!! I didn't really consider him a suspect but now that I think about it...He is really suspicious..I will fire him right away but first you guys get some rest you should be focused on how to turn the table for your good at the press meeting...Am hanging up...Hold on!!! I haven't seen Doctor Sandra where is she ???? Mrs Tae mo asked.
" She had something to take care of...Seth sighed.
" Okay…Am hanging up..
" Mrs Tae mo is right I haven't seen Doctor Sandra???? Seth is she okay ???? Adrian asked.
" Yeahh.. Yeahhh..She might be back tonight..Seth assumed.
" Hold up...Seth also told us about his relationship with Doctor Sandra but that wasn't in the news…. Daniel said.
" You have a point…. I mean he would have published that story…. Isn't it weird???? Jimmy asked.
" It is but first we have to sleep and get ready for the press meeting tomorrow... They are surely going to hit us from hard corners...We should be ready.. Seth said and everybody left for their room except Seth,He sat at the living room waiting for Tessa,It has been a long day and he's sure she had no idea what was going on, Seth was feeling tense and he wanted her by his side but she wasn't there. The door made a screeching sound. It was Tessa.
It has been a long ride back here,I felt some kind of peace because I already opened up to my grandma about what was going on and she didn't judge me for whatsoever reason.
" Where have you been???? Seth asked.
" Am sorry...I…,I couldn't complete my statement before Seth reached out for my hands and hugged me.
" Where have you been????? Today has been hectic and stressful...I really needed you,Seth sobbed.
" It's alright….Am here now,I pat his hair.
" I really needed this hug,Seth smiled.
" Should we be like this here, Let's go to the garden...I grabbed Seth's hands.
Daniel was looking for their old photo book,He was looking for old photos of them in college.
" Ohhhh it must be in the box in Doctor Sandra's room... Daniel walked to Doctor Sandra's room,He knocked on the door continuously but nobody was responding.
" She still isn't back…. Daniel opened the door. He didn't want to touch any thing he just headed for where the box was and grabbed it,He turned to leave when his eyes caught Seth and Tessa in the garden kissing,He sighed and turned to dash out but his legs hit a stool and a book fell from the cupboard.
" Damn!!!! Daniel grabbed the book to put it in place but he found a picture,It was Sandra and Tessa when they were kids, Daniel was confused..They were identical,He had no idea she had a twin sister because she never mentioned it, There's was a familiar writing at the back of the picture,It was Tessa's handwriting.. He knew how she wrote because he has seen it multiple times.
" Something isn't right... Daniel said keeping the picture in his pocket ,He left immediately
