chapter 30

Mabella sits up on her bed. She looked at her phone and it was 3 in the morning. She looks at her friends who were in the deep sleep. A small sigh was released before she gets up from her bed.
She walks to her wardrobe, slowly open the door wardrobe so she doesn’t make any sound. She took out her hoodie and tied her hair. After making sure there is none of her roommates are waking up, she opens the door, quickly and silently leave the room.
“Where is my baby girl? Adam, why don’t you drag her along when you come here?” Diego cannot stop whining. He misses his girl. They have already promised in the chatting group to gather tonight at his rent place.
“You crazy? If I am careless, Mabella’s friends will suspicious of her.”
“Damn. Why the hell she tries to live like that? If she's so fond of Aiden, she can go right to him and tell him. Why she need to disguise herself? As if anyone could reject the real Mabella.”
“I see what you mean but how would I know? We can never know what girl’s thinking. They are complicated.” Adam spoke out of his experience. He seriously can never understand girls. Even if he has been friends for a long time with Mabella, he can never understand what's Mabella thinking.
“Yup. You will never understand so stop interfere anything. Mabel must have a good point why she approached Aiden with that style.” Faye, one of the actresses and also, friends with Adam and Mabella admitted.
“Damn. Girls are too unique.” Diego claimed.
Ding dong.
The sound of the bell rang make Diego delighted. He confident who would ring his bell in this early morning. He rushed up to the door and hugged a girl who at the outside.
“Darling! Darling! I miss you so much.”
Mabella and Diego is a cousin while Faye is Diego’s childhood friend. Every time she goes out with Diego, Diego will bring his best friend, Faye and Mabella too, will bring Adam. That’s why all of them had known each other that long.
Moreover, there were three more of other people in this rent place and that the three of them are Diego's colleagues that can consider close to Mabella too since every of them used to be a model with Mabella. But they are already sleeping on the floor. Tired, perhaps.
“Let me in, Diego. I’m cold.”
“Alright, alright. Come in, your highness.” Like a butler who is greeting his master, Diego put his right hand on his left shoulder, bowing and inviting Mabella to come in.
Mabella crinkled her nose, accepting Diego’s joke with expressionless face.
“Bella! You become prettier!” Faye winked to Mabella.
“Kekeke, she looks ugly at the school though.” Adam intentionally teasing Mabella. Not like Mabella care about that.
“So, how are you progressing your relationship with Aiden?” Faye handed the tea she made to Mabella.
“The tea is already cold. I made it one hour before you came.”
“It’s fine. Either it’s hot or cold, your tea will always be delicious.”
“Aww. That’s a true a gentlewoman.”
“Girls, have a chat first. I will make some noodles for you. Mabel, you are hungry right?”
“You really do know me. Yes, please make one for me. I am very hungry since I only touch a little on the trip’s food. There are bland and tasteless.”
“Will do.” Diego dragged Adam to the mini kitchen, left the girls behind.
“Have you progressed?"
“How should I say this .. well, it has a progressed but Aiden and I still not in the relationship.”
“So, you still with the seducing term?”
“Yup.” Mabella put down the teacup on the table. She takes the remote control on the floor and slowed down the television.
“That Aiden, I was passing by him earlier. No doubt, he’s like a work of art. Truly attractive. He looks like an aristocratic too. That’s certainly why you like him. ”
“Heh. I couldn’t agree more.”
“However, Aiden is adopted.”
“Huh?” Mabella tilting her head to Faye. She opens the mouth but not speaking, opening and closing the mouth several times before forming words.
“Par- pardon me?”
“He is adopted.”
“I didn’t know that?”
“Of course, it should have been in newspapers or mass media but all that has been prevented from being displayed. In other words, it was banned from public knowledge.”
Mabella eyes widened. So there are also things that she didn’t know. Still and all, she thought she already know all of Aiden’s background accurately. “This feels shitty. If it’s true everyone does not know this, how can you know?”
“My father, he is secretary of Aiden’s foster father. My father was ordered to close all of Aiden's past stories.”
“You are the only one who knows this?”
“No, it’s made us two now.”
“Who is Aiden real parents then?”
“About that, I can not be sure too. My father told me he didn’t know about it. The only thing he knows, Aiden’s parents quite the famous person. His real father and real mother fall in love madly and decide to marry.”
Faye silence for a few minutes before continue.
“But the marriage does not last long. Aiden’s father cheated with his wife’s best friends. It was a huge betrayal of his mother. Surely we know his mother did not accept that. She kept begging for her best friend to leave her husband but her best friend decide to ignore her.”
“Detestable! How can someone be that cruel to her own friend!”
“That’s exactly what I think. His mother, waiting for her husband and her best friend come back but they just never do that. In the end, she fallen ill and died.”
Mabella’s face looks dejected. That was a terrible ending.
“I heard Aiden also close with his mother’s best friend. He had already called the woman, mommy.”
“That’s hurt.”
“Well, I’m pretty sure Aiden holds a grudge with his real father and that bitch. But I don’t think he will get a revenge.”
“And why is that? Or should I revenge it for him?”
“Stop that. If he knows, he gonna hate you till the end of his life. It’s better for you to not meddle with his family affair.”
“Yeah, let’s not do that.” Mabella easily agreeing with Faye.
“Girls! Come here, noodle already done by me!” Diego stopped Mabella and Faye from continuing their chatting.
They both looked at each other before stands up and went to Diego.
