Love The sinner, Hate the sin 42.
The Scandal 2.
Daniel took the photo back to his room because he wasn't done inspecting and any moment from now Tessa would be back in her room, He wanted to take a proper look at the journal at the back of the picture.
There was a write up at the back of the picture in Tessa's handwriting.
" Sandra!!! It has been more than fifteen years since we have been separated,I look at myself in the mirror and I still see your face but a better version...I heard you are now a therapist..I wish we can have just a day with each other but Japan is far away...I will always love you... Tessa.
Daniel was confused, He know has enough proof that Tessa had an identical twin sister but he still wasn't sure which one was here at the Mansion,This letter was addressed to the real Doctor Sandra's handwriting but it was written by Tessa who was know posing as Doctor Sandra. Daniel couldn't fall asleep he kept staring at the picture.
Seth and I have been in the garden for more than one hour and he still hasn't said a word because he was so numb and cold.
" Are you really not going to tell me what's going on???? I said rubbing his head positioned on my laps.
" Let's say a commotion after the vacation...Seth sighed.
" What commotion?????? I asked.
" First of, You are aware that Adrian announced his relationship???? Seth asked.
" Yes I am aware…
" On our way back home Adrain also announced his engagement with Lisa and that they are expecting a baby soon ,Seth said.
" So what's with the gloomy look??? That's good news isn't it ???? I smiled.
" It is until it surfaces in the internet in a bad way...It was published that Adrain was expecting a baby with his secretary...Seth sighed.
" The part of them getting married was exempted… Seth sighed.
" Adrian would he feeling so down….I sighed..
" To make matters worse ,News on Jimmy and Amanda's relationship is also on the internet..Seth said.
" Wait a minute…. Jimmy is dating Amanda??????
" Yeahh…. You already know Amanda and I were dating and it was an open relationship, It's going to stir up controversy when people find out she's dating someone and even a band member…,Seth frowned.
" What did Mrs Tae mo say about the news update????? I asked.
" She had an urgent meeting with us and we concludes a press meeting, Seth sighed.
" How did the news spread???? I asked confused.
" It was Paul Marco,Seth frowned.
" The driver!!! I gasped.
" Yes turns out he has a brother who walks as one of the reporters at one of the best online news….So he has been tipping him on our lifestyle and everything about us.. Seth said.
" Are you sure it's Marco???? I mean he has been with you guys for a long time,I stated.
" Long enough for us to be in various scandals...Seth said.
" This isn't going to affect the album release is it ??? I asked.
" Let's hope the rumours die down before the release date, Seth Frowned.
" I hope so too..I sighed.
" I missed you,Seth kissed me.
" I had something to take care of,I said.
" Is everything alright??? I mean you have been looking so gloomy these days that's unlike you,The boys would really need your cheerful spirit,Seth said.
" Am sure everything is going to be okay,I said.
" Hmmm so how did I do at our first date??? Seth smiled.
" At first I thought we were visiting a Cinema or something,I had no idea it was the Love garden,And to think of the fact that you found the boat play house. It was more than amazing...I had a great time,I smiled.
" That's why we should go on another date after the Album release.. Seth said.
" I can only say yes to that if you promise to make sure you do well at the ep performance.. Can you do that??? I asked.
" I promise...I smiled.
" I spoke with Ariel earlier today,She was excited that am in good terms with my dad.. She's actually in college and it's summer break,I told her she can move in with me in my villa with Dad since it's only few minutes drive to her school from the villa,Seth said.
" I am so proud of you...I smiled.
" I wonder what would have happened if you didn't show up in my life... Everything happened so fast and I don't even remember how it was when I had multiple personalities.. Seth said.
" You healed faster than I thought you would,I smiled.
" It's because you are here ….Seth smiled.
Adrian didn't want to bother Lisa because she was fast asleep but he couldn't handle the nervousness he was feeling.
" Are you okay???? Lisa yawned.
" Am just worried because of the press conference tomorrow,I don't want my marriage to be surfaced online.. Adrian frowned.
" Addy... Whatsoever you do it's because of the pressure placed on you as an idol.. It's no wrong to have a baby and I am so sure it's because am no celebrity or because I am of no high class but I want you to know I will always be here for you, Lisa hugged him.
" I love you…
" Love you too…
Jimmy's pov.
I soaked myself in the bathtub wondering and imagining the lashes I was going to receive from the reporters,Yes Amanda used to be in a relationship with Seth but I was in love with her first I can say that but it's going to misjudged..Fans might say I am jealous of Seth and throw shades,I thought of how Amanda was going to react to what was going on ??? She probably was going to tell me she told me so..My phone rang and I left the bathtub to see who was calling,It was Amanda I am sure she must have seen the news.
" Heyyy... I sighed.
" Why do you sound so low ???? Amanda asked.
" It's nothing I was about to take shower,We have been practicing all day and I've been busy...I lied.
" Jimmy...Do you know why I agreed to date you???? Amanda asked.
" Why ???? Jimmy asked.
" It's because you promised to protect me and that's clearly not the voice of someone who was willing to protect me... Amanda said.
" Have you seen the news ???? I asked.
" Of course I have seen the news and the crazy fans in my comment session, Amanda laughed.
" Are you okay???? I asked.
" I am ….I am happy with you and fans can't decide my future for me,I want you to keep that at the back of your mind as you go for the press conference, Amanda said.
" How did you know about the press conference???? I asked.
" Eddy is quite a big mouth and he has been worried about you because you have been in your room pretending to be asleep, Amanda said.
" How did he know??? I laughed.
" Jimmy!!!! You are one of the bravest person I know and show does reporters and journalist what it's like to be a national idol... Don't he moved by their twisted question, Whenever you have nothing to say to them just smile.. You can do this…
Morning came faster than expected, Mrs Tae mo was already at the house,I was going to be with her today because she asked Lisa to stay back at the mansion with Amanda to avoid questions.
" You guys only answer questions you want to be asked... Don't let them push you and don't stare at them...A tablet will be at your tables it's answers to the questions we believe you will be asked, Adrian what does it say you are to answer when questions about Lisa is asked??? Mrs Tae mo asked.
" I would like my love life to be kept private,I don't want it meddling with my career.. It's true I am in a relationship with Lisa and she's not just a secretary to me...So I would want us to respect my decision...Adrian said.
" Jimmy what does it say you are to answer when questions about you and Amanda is asked??? Mrs Tae mo asked
" We are aware that our relationship might stir up controversy and yet we still insist on making it work and Seth has no problem with it..We are cool about the relationship and we want you guys to be too.. Jimmy said.
" Good !!!! Seth you can say a few things regarding to what Jimmy said basically about you being happy and supporting their relationship, Daniel you can also say something about how you guys were close with Lisa so she's actually more than a secretary to you guys,Eddy I heard about your rapping skills you can end the press conference with you telling the masses to expect something spicy from you...It would throw them off the rumor..Mrs Tae mo said after taking a deep breath.
" What's the situation with Paul??? Seth asked.
" He was already out of the country, When I contacted him..Mrs Tae mo said.
" Is his brother also going to be at the press conference???? Daniel asked.
" That I am not sure of but for the meantime, Doctor Sandra volunteered to drive you guys to the center...I will arrive at the center before you guys to check things out...Mrs Tae mo said.
" We are going to do well don't you worry…Seth said.
" Doctor Sandra you did do a good job,I never thought I would hear that from you Seth but I am so happy for the effort we are all putting to make this work...I love you guys...Mrs Tae mo grabbed her bag and left.
The boys face looked so gloomy and I knew what exactly was going to cheer them up.
" Here... Here.. Here...I said sharing them a lunchbox.
" What is this??? Seth laughed.
" Did you cook something??? Eddy laughed.
" Yes ...Of course I knew you guys didn't have breakfast so this is my little good luck charm to you guys... You guys are also human and I know I don't understand the pressure but I hope everything goes well today...I smiled.
" Doctor Sandra….Eddy and Jimmy hugged me.
" Thanks well appreciated, Daniel said.
" Thanks for the effort, Adrian smiled.
" I hope it wasn't stressful??? Seth asked.
" Heyyyy...It wasn't and after all Lisa and Amanda also helped..I smiled.
" It was your idea...Lisa said.
" We hope it helps cheer you guys up...Eat it while you drive to the center.. Amanda said.
" You guys don't have to worry...Seth said.
" We should be on our way now….I said.
" See you guys later...The boys waved Amanda and Lisa good bye.
I started the engine and I could see the guys eating from the view mirror,I smiled they were just like cute babies.
" Ohhhh My Goodness!!!!!! Eddy giggled.
" You like????
" This is amazing...Eddy laughed.
" I officially forgive you for running off at the beach... Adrian said stuffing food in his mouth.
" It's just so good, Daniel said.
" I mean you are a good cook but this is so delicious, Jimmy said.
" It's definitely because I had two extra hands... Amanda and Lisa..I laughed.
" Thanks..This really means a lot..Seth said.
" Am so glad you liked it...I smiled.
The rest of the ride was cheerful,We made jokes and played karaoke,Eddy drooped few freestyle and before we knew it we were already at the center.
" You guys just maintain the same energy we had during our ride here..I said.
" You guys I have bad news... Paul's brother is here..He is at the front roll..Mrs Tae mo walked in.
" We will manage.. Seth said leading the way.
Reporters rushed in reporting live,I stood behind Mrs Tae mo at a corner...It was more tensive than a final verdict in court,I knew the boys were all tensed even if they were smiling.
" We will start the press conference immediately, Please we advise all reporters to stick to the rules...Mrs Tae mo announced.
" We will like to welcome everyone here to our press conference,We are the heartstrings...The boys said in unison.. I took a deep breath and the questions started creeping in.
" What comments do you have to make on Jimmy's relationship with Amanda...The question is for you Seth...A reporter asked.
" First I would like to say love isn't something we can fight...They are in love and I am in support of it...I have no problem with Jimmy And Amanda, Seth answered.
" You and Amanda were the nations best couple,Do you think Jimmy made a right decision dating her considering the fact that she was your girlfriend and he's a band member.. Another reporter asked.
" Like I said earlier... Love isn't something you can fight..Seth smiled.
" Jimmy have you always been in love with Amanda and by any chance did you get jealous when she was with Seth????
" We are aware our relationship will stir up controversial and yet we still insist on making it work and Seth is comfortable with it and so am I...We have no problem with it and just like Seth said Love is unavoidable.. Jimmy smiled.
" That doesn't explain the fact that you would have been jealous at least once…
" Everybody was born with jealousy and as human it's part of a displayed emotions... You can get jealous if a reporter is doing better to you but it becomes worse when it's envy...I am also human and I am also allowed to express emotions and jealousy is also an emotion.. Jimmy said.
" Adrian do you decide to get your secretary pregnant to avoid the news of you being gay ????? Paul's brother asked.
" That piece of shit... Mrs Tae mo frowned.
" I have dated females since I was in highschool and the fact that I keep my relationship private doesn't make me gay...It was just a rumor that shouldn't be considered as news... Adrian said.
" So are you saying you are in love with your secretary???? Another reporter asked.
" I would want my relationship to be kept private and I don't want it meddling with my career,It is true that I am in a relationship with Lisa and she's not just a secretary to me...She has always been more so I would want you guys to respect our decision... Adrian answered.
" We might be idols but we are also humans too... Seth said.
" Does that explain your multiple personalities disorder, PTSD, Depression and Addictions... Paul's brother voice echoed in the room and the other reporters started to murmur.
" How did he know about that??? I stuttered.
" Paul that bastard….Mrs Tae mo clenched her fist.
" Will they be alright????? I can see them acting cool but I know they are so tensed right now...I said.
" Look under the table, They are holding hands to stay strong... They're stronger than you think..They can slash the reporters back, Let's hope for that..Mrs Tae mo said.
"Like I said earlier we are all humans so we are allowed to have problems..We can't always be perfect because you call us idols..Seth said maintaining his smile.
By this time alm the reporters were quiet and I know they are busy with their laptop because they were publishing the new breaking news
" Popular Therapist known as Doctor Sandra was employed to treat you is that correct???? Paul's brother asked.
I froze Seth is surely going to say yes and it's going to be published but the problem was It was surely going to surface on the internet and Sandra was surely going to see this..My palms were sweaty and Mrs Tae mo surprisingly held my hands.
" Yes….I needed therapy..
" Impressive indeed you are human and that's why I am not surprised you guys became a couple after months of therapy... Paul's brother echoed once again but this time I was no longer trembling,I was dead shock..How on earth did he know about us.. Mrs Tae mo let go of my hands in shocked,My eyes were watery and it met with Seth's…
I was in a big mess now.
