“Welcome home” Ariana smiled.
“Its not like I stayed so long at the hospital” Malcolm laughed and walked in.
Cindy and the others were just right behind him.
“MK!!!” Mr Chadwick stood up from the sofa and ran to him. He rounded his arms on Malcolm and hugged him tightly.
“What’s this now?” Malcolm murmured. written by sommy pearl f.
“He came here last night after getting news that, you were at R-breeds hospital” Ariana murmured back to him.
Mr Chad broke the hug and looked at Malcolm.
“What happened to you?” Mr Chad snortled.
“Nothing. I’m fine” Malcolm responded.
“Don’t feed me with those lies. I won’t take it” Mr Chad shook his head.
“I wish I got your point” Malcolm muttered and sat on the soft sofa.
“Urggh. Life” He Mõ@ned.
“Lemme go arrange your room so that you would rest” Ariana said.
“Thanks” Malcolm smiled.
“Lemme join her” Rhoda said.
He smiled and nodded.
Malcolm looked at the others.
“Let’s talk later” He said.
They nodded and left one after the other.
“Who are those 3 guys? Of course, I know Cindy is family” Mr Chad said.
“They’re my friends”
“I see”
“Yup. You can go too. Let’s talk later”
“I ain’t moving an inch from here or you give me an update on what’s going on”
“Aiish! I said it already. Nothing is wrong. I’m fine”
“Let say I believe you. But your fans…Will they believe?” Mr Chad sat close to him.
Malcolm opened his eyes and looked at him.
“My fans? What have they got to do with this?”
“I see,,, you haven’t been online lately” Mr Chad shook his head.
Malcolm nodded.
“Kinda” He replied.
Mr Chad took out his phone and went into the website which showed him Malcolm’s recent news.
He showed Malcolm and he nearly choked. His eyes even nearly popped out from its sockets.
The post headline was;
*MALCOLM KEEPERS A.K.A, M.K IS BEEN HOSTALIZED AFTER GETTING TRAUMATIZED*
“What’s this?” Malcolm asked
“I should be the one asking you that. It seems a fan noticed you were hospitalized and asked a nurse what happened” Mr Chad explained.
“This ain’t good” Malcolm shook his head.
“Swears. Your fans won’t stop talking about it. Very soon, they might wanna hold a press conference concerning this issue. ‘What traumatized you’ will be the most asked question that day” Mr Chad said.
“Mr Chad. I know you to be a very good idealist” Malcolm said.
Mr Chad smiled.
“Well,,, Thats me”
“What do most celebrities do whenever they see a controversial news about them”
“They take the news down” Mr Chad answered.
Malcolm swallowed.
“Yes. Yes, I know. We could take the news down but that won’t still stop their mouths from talking”
“Well, you’re right” Mr Chad scratched his head.
“Do you have an idea on what I could do for them to stop talking and making a buzz about it. Something that could convert it?” He asked.
“Yeah. If you wanna convert their thoughts and speech. You will have declare something that they would wanna talk about for life”
“Like?”
“An album? Single? Collab? Film appearance? Concert? A lot more, especially if those celebrities are on hiatus. Anyways, ff you make a news about this. This would make them waver. Then,,, they would stop talking about it and start talking about the declaration you made”
Malcolm bit his lower lip.
“Make a statement to the press”
“Yes’?” Mr Chad asked.
“Malcolm is planning a big concert as his come back”
“Whoa! This is a big one. It’ll surely make them stop talking. d@mn!! They will start anticipating and talking about it”
“Good” Malcolm smiled.
“When will the concert take place?”
“Next week Monday. Location,,, Grand Opening Palace”
“Nice!!!” Mr Chadwick chuckled.

The girls had just finished tidying and arranging the room.
“Let’s go” Rhoda said.
“Wait” Ariana suddenly said.
“What’s it?” Rhoda asked, and looked at her.
Ariana eyes were up.
“Where did you place it?”
“What?” Rhoda asked.
“The camera of course”
“Why? You wanna take it off. Leave it” Rhoda widened her eyes angrily.
“Is it in there?” Ariana whispered, pointing at the chandelier which hung on the high ceiling and at the middle.
Rhoda swallowed hard.
“I’m leaving first” She said and left.
Ariana stared at the chandelier and sighed sadly. She quickly ran out and met with Rhoda.
“Don’t worry. I won’t say a thing to anyone. Especially Malcolm”
“About??” Rhoda queried.
“About the camera and the fact that I remember some things. But just so you know, I won’t let the middle finger you gave me slid away. Heads up! Mine is coming” Ariana smiled and left. written by sommy pearl f.
“Why does she keeps infuriating me?” Rhoda snarled.
