"So I'll send a car over for you to bring you to the interview later today, management said to wear something white to spark something I don't know" The Indian man said

"I... I wanted to talk to you about that" Aelia muttered

Justin adjusted his tie in the mirror as Aelia stepped out with her towel tied tightly around her body.

"What's that?" the man said as he passed a hand through his hair

"I... Don't think I can make the interview today" she said. Justin snapped his neck around to the girl

"What?"

"I kinda made plans yesterday-"

"And you said you'd come with me since three days ago" he said

"I know but I ran into this friend and-"

"You're blowing my career off for a friend you met yesterday? If you want friends, just text someone on instagram" Justin spat, Aelia's eyes grew wide

"Excuse me?" Aelia asked in disbelief

"Who is the friend" Justin said

"Is that any of your business?" Aelia asked

"It is if you're blowing off my interview. I always make an effort to come to your stuff" he said, Aelia sighed, she understood where he was coming from

"Wait. Where were you yesterday?" she asked

"I had to go into the studio, you know this" he said. Aelia nodded in response

"Does Jeff know about this?" he asked

"I-"

Before she could respond, Jeff was already on her phone. The blonde girl groaned and answered the call

"What the hell happened at the signing yesterday!" Jeff yelled

"I had no idea what was going on but I'm sorry if they caused anything" Aelia said

"They took all the attention away from the signing. I woke up to 'Incest family fucking' all over my damn twitter" Jeff yelled, Aelia tried to hold back a snicker

"Jeff, did you know she's blowing me off to go out with a friend today?" Justin yelled from across the room

Aelia gave a cold death glare at the man who just shrugged. Why the hell was he acting so bitchy all of a sudden? But either way, Jeff would have found it sooner or later

"What friend?!" Jeff yelled

"Um... That girl from the café-"

"Are you kidding me?!" Justin yelled

"What?" Aelia asked

"Enough with this girl Aelia!" Justin yelled

"I'm with Justin on this one, the girl has been bad news since she's appeared. The fans have been shipping to two of you and it's taken all the attention away from the proposal. I don't like this Aelia" Jeff said

"I can't just blow her off today, I told her I'd see her" Aelia said

"Aelia. You have to decide which is more important. Your career or hanging out with some random girl" Justin said

"She's... Not some random girl" Aelia muttered under her breath

"I don't want you talking to her Bunny, I don't want you seeing her, you'll go to Justin's interview today and that's the end I'll ever hear of this girl. You got it?" Jeff said

"...Yes" Aelia whispered

"Good girl, I'll call you later" Jeff said before ending the call

The call was dropped and Aelia felt her heart sink into her chest. Justin scoffed from across the room and he adjusted his button up

"What's your problem?!" she spat

"You're supposed to be my girlfriend, but it doesn't seem like it" he said

"I hope you realize that this is an ARRANGEMENT" Aelia yelled

"Arrangement or not, you're still mine Bunny" he said, Aelia mentally cringed at the nickname

"I'm not a toy Justin. I don't belong to anyone" she yelled

"Well according to our contract Bunny, you do belong to me. And you're supposed to attend all of my events unless you have a class with your own event" He smirked, the girl cringed at the nickname

"Stop calling me Bunny, I won't hop and you don't own me" She spat

"Our lawyers say I do own you Bunny" he smirked

"Wow. You're acting like an ass these days. I actually thought you were different, hell I even started to like you" Aelia spat

She stared at the back of the man, it was as if he completely changed before her eyes. The sweet guy that respected her boundaries and make strawberry pancakes for breakfast was replaced with a possessive excuse of a man.

"As I said, I'll send a car over in a few minutes to bring you over to the studio. You better be in that car, or else." Justin said

The man turned on his heels to head towards the door, he glanced at Aelia who sat on the bed with her head down and furrowed brows in deep thought. He sighed and leaned down, his hands were on either sides of her body as he leaned closer.

Aelia scrunched her face up in disgust and pulled backwards, he inched closer until her back was pressed against the headboard. His lips pressed against her cheek before he pulled away

"I don't play when it comes to my Career" he said, Aelia locked eyes with the brown skinned man

His coffee brown eyes were dead. There wasn't a twitch in his brows, the muscles in his face seemed as if they were punctured with botox wrongly.

"I don't play with it comes to my heart"

"You can't have a heart in this industry darling, it makes you vulnerable. They'll rip it out and eat it in front of your face. It's time you make sacrifices and stop trying to be the sweet girl that you think you are" Justin said

The man peeled away from Aelia as he made his way out of the room. Aelia finally released the breath she held in

Damn, was his breath that stank?

The girl sighed and headed over to the closet, it was already 9pm and Justin's interview starts at 10pm. Her hands flipped through a few dresses, perhaps something to hug her body and show her curves for the camera.

She settled on a blood red Terani Couture dress, the wide straps hung over her shoulder while the dress hugged her body tightly. The girl locked eyes with herself in the makeup mirror

"What am I doing?" She whispered to herself

It's been five goddamn years. She's made a different life for herself, sure it wasn't the best but it was still something and it didn't have Luna inside it.

"I lost my mind, I don't know what's happening to me" Aelia groaned and buried her face in her palms

As much as she hated it, the thoughts of the girl kept running along her mind every second of the day. Her smile was a permanent picture in her head, her voice cause goosebumps to crawl along her skin, maybe it was because she haven't heard it in so long.

But what did this dinner even mean? What would they possibly talk about that was so important. Her career was important to her, it's actually the most important thing in her life right now, there's too many people behind her team for her to just give it all up for a simple dinner.

Then again, Aelia had questions. Questions burning up, she needed to know why Luna did the things she did. Was she not happy with her? Was it all a joke? A bet?

Aelia hadn't realized she had been sobbing for a few minutes in the same position. The tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down her face. She feel the muscles of my chin tremble but she fought the pain. The girl took deep breaths to steady herself as she quickly wiped away the tears and placed some makeup on

A car horn echoed through the house, her ride was downstairs. She sighed and quickly headed down the stairs and through the door

Justin was waiting at the studio, her manager warned her not to be around the girl. But did she want to?

She slipped into the car and closed the door. The cold chill of the AC immediately touched her skin. Aelia took a deep breath in.

"Justin. Or Luna" she whispered to herself, her eyes immediately locked with the driver

"Where are we heading to Ms Green?"
