Chapter 1
She looks so elegant, stunning, and sparkling with her dulcet voice like that of a nightingale's, her dress makes her look so glamorous, everyone was gazing at her moves as the stage lights shine all over her, almost everyone in the music hall was so happy that they were singing alongside with her while some were exhilaratingly shouting out her name.

He walked in and the first thing he could see was this astonishing lady that got over two hundred and thirty-five thousand spectators smiling and dancing like there was no problem in the world.
who could she be? Lorn whispered to himself, before he could find out who she was, he saw a very big portrait up on the wall just five feet away from where he was standing, he moved closer, though he couldn't figure out who it was but kept admiring her beauty silently to himself, his eye couldn't let go of the painting, he whispered again, "what a beauty with such an amazing voice", who is she? where's she from? Why such a crowd in her show? What's so special about her?
He was deeply lost in his thoughts when he noticed the melodious voice go down and a loud sound of applaud came up, then he realized that the show was over and the diva was walking down the stage, everyone rushing to have a picture with her, due to this, she became invisible to those who were miles away from the stage(such as Lorn) because it's a big hall.
Due to the pressure, Lorn decided to go back home, besides the show was over, he walked out and stood by his car, all attention on his phone, a few minutes later, he noticed some footsteps approaching him, he gazed towards the direction of the sound and saw that it is Modesta Brown, the diva together with her giant bouncers. He immediately said "hello", Modesta replied "hi" but didn't look back (she was in a hurry to catch a flight and she thought it was one of her random fans).
Hey, mademoiselle, I just greeted you; Lorn shouted out.
(She stopped walking and turn back to see who it was, she couldn't recognize him but saw how he was looking like a man with so much dignity) she came back and said;
MODESTA: Hi Mr. ( stretching out her hands for a shake but Lorn was upset about her recent behavior so he didn't bring out his hands) she quickly understood and said;
MODESTA: ok fine, sir am so so super sorry, I was in a hurry that's why I behaved the way I did, but trust me, am not always like that;
LORN: Who treats their fans the way you did?
MODESTA: But I just said sorry.
LORN: Does it matter?
MODESTA: Yes it does a lot, look Mr, am sorry ok? it was just a silly mistake and I apologized, I don't know why you should make a big deal out of it, besides I don't even owe you any explanation, I should have ignored you and passed because I replied hi when you said hello, but no, I came back to apologize and now you're making me look like the bad guy huh? I have to run along pls, am late already. (She then moved without waiting for him to talk).
LORN: (talking to himself) who does she think she is? How dare she walk out of me, what kind of celebrity is she that she has no regard for her fans? (He was still at this when his P.A. (Austin) brought his phone.)
AUSTIN: sir, you have a call from Mr. Harrison.
LORN: Tell him I can't talk right now.
AUSTIN: (looking surprised) but sir, I think he wants to remind you about the GOLDY contract in Australia.
LORN: (looking so furious), I said tell him am not in a talking mood, is that so hard to comprehend?!
AUSTIN: No sir, am sorry, I'll do that right away.
LORN: just let it be, hop in let's move.
AUSTIN: Ok sir.
(They both sat in the car).
DRIVER: Sir should I drive to the office?
LORN: (still looking furious) No, drive to your mother's village, my friend get the car moving already!
DRIVER: ( Trying to get the car in motion as he speaks) ok sir.
(They drove off and exit the scene).

It was 5:30 pm, and lorn was unusually home so early, all his domestic workers were surprised and later worried because of the look he wore that evening, they all greeted him as he pass them by without responding, he walked so straight to his room Austin right behind his back.
The maids were asking the driver what went on but he couldn't define what was wrong with him.
When they got to his room, Lorn went in first and Austin stayed behind to knock at the door before getting in as instructed.
AUSTIN: knock!! knock!! (He waited for him to respond but he didn't so Austin went ahead and pressed the bell beside the door, it ranged and got Lorn shouting)
LORN: Hey Austin you freaking get the hell out of my door and drop the files in my study room.
AUSTIN: Ok sir.
LORN: Damn it!
What arrant nonsense?
Does she think am one of her bloody fans that made her walk out of me like some sort of shitty trash? Damn!.
But why am I so pained by that?
He was saying all this when the news came up.
