“Tom!” Kat shouted and Tom quickly disentangled from Lotus.
Lotus opened her eyes and luckily the lights are gone, her arousal left.
She just made a mistake which she’s surely gonna pay dearly for.
“Kat…I can explain” Tom said and Kat smirked before walking to Lotus.
She pulled her by her hair and slapped her hard, her lips bled immediately.
“How dare you come here to seduce my boyfriend!, You were invited to sing at the banquet but you choose to seduce him instead?, Huh?, How dare you seductress!” Kat yelled and made to slap her again but Tom stopped her by taking Lotus from her.
It’s the first time Lotus will be regretting in all her 2500 years of living, she has never tasted regret and the fact that this is coming from her own mistake, it’s hurting.
She just betrayed Starr.
She stood behind Tom and Kat raged more.
“After kissing her, you’re protecting her too?, This is crazy” she said.
“It was me, I kissed her, you should slap me instead” Tom said.
“Do you think I’m blind?, She was the one who pinned you to the wall, I watch dramas too and I know what that means, she made the first move, I’ve been watching!” Kat shouted
“I’m sorry Kat, I’m so sorry” Tom said.
Kat looked up and saw the camera, she smiled before leaving the room.
Tom faced Lotus and when he made to touch her, she ran out of the room.
“Lotus!, Lotus!’ he ran after her but he wasn’t able to catch up before she finally stepped out.
She rushed into her car and her tears fell
She has been trying to fight it back so she won’t hurt Starr but she can’t do it anymore.
Kissing another guy different from him will make the pains more great.
“What’s wrong?” Nam-Ri asked in confusion.
“Drive me home!!” She cried.

MELODY MUSICAL HIGH**
The song practice is ongoing already with Ophelia, Martin and Constance as the lead singers.
Starr is playing the piano but he kept ruining it.
His mind is not in class, it’s with Lotus.
He played off the key again and Mr Roger got more pissed.
“Starr what’s up with you!, Why do you keep ruining the song for us?, This is the fourth time you kept doing this” he said angrily.
Start stood slowly.
“I don’t think I can continue, I’m not feeling well” he said .
“Rhythm take over the piano” Mr Roger said and Rhythm went there.
“Are you sick?” She asked as she walked past him.
He was about to talk when pains gripped his heart suddenly.
“Ah!” He held it tightly and it escalated immediately.
“Starr!” Rhythm quickly held him.
“Argh!!!” He groaned more loudly, going on his knees, still holding his chest.
Everyone stood fearfully and his friends rushed to him.
“Starr!” Martin held his shoulders.
“My…my ..heart” he said, tears coming out of his eyes.
“Arrggg!!!!” Came another yell of pains from him.
Mr Roger quickly called the school ambulance.
“You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine ok?” Bluey said, holding him.
“Lotus is crying, is she hurt?, What happened to her?” Starr thought as he started losing consciousness.
“Starr stay awake, Starr!” Martin shouted.
“The ambulance is here” Mr Roger said and Starr was heaped on Martin’s back.
Martin carried him out of the class, running to the park where the ambulance is waiting.
Starr was taken in and a lot of students followed the ambulance to the hospital.

LOTUS’S MANSION**
The way she’s feeling pains in her chest as she cried only means Starr is crying too.
The pain she’s feeling is not that much but the tears on her face can probably form a river.
“How am I supposed to face him?, How?” She sobbed, covering her face with her palms.
“I’m so ashamed of myself, yesterday I lied, today I betrayed and cheated, am I really the Lotus I used to be?, Where’s the real me” She hiccupped sadly.
Feeling the abnormally cold breeze on her skin and the water wetting her foot made her turn around
“Goddess!” She said, glad that she came.
“I see the tears has started” Rivera said.
“Why did I get aroused when I was with another guy?, Tom is not my soulmate!, Why did I lose control to the point of kissing him why!, Why is this happening to me!” She yelled.
“When I said your fate is cruel, what came to your mind?” Rivera replied and looked at her.
Lotus looked on mutely.
“Ridiculous things like what happened today will continue to happen, this is just the start” Rivera replied.
“So… getting aroused when I was around Tom is part of my cruel fate?” Lotus asked.
“You didn’t get aroused by him, weren’t you thinking about your soulmate before he showed up?”
“Yes, Starr was all-over my head before Tom came in, even after he came in, I still had Starr written all over my brain” Lotus replied.
“The thoughts of your soulmate aroused you, but..
“But what?”
“You lost control partially because your soulmate was not around you, and partially because that man…. he’s trapped in you”
“Tom is trapped in me?”
“His heart is weak and soft, he got charmed easily by your appearance, his heart has been stolen by you unintentionally, and that’s partially why it was easy to lose control in front of him”
“How did I steal his heart when I feel nothing for him?” Lotus asked in confusion.
“You don’t have to feel for him before stealing his heart princess, you’re a special being, charms lives in your eyes” Rivera replied.
“Then how am I supposed to handle it?, Kat is not nice with the little I’ve seen, What if Starr finds out?, I can’t even imagine how he’ll feel goddess, I can’t imagine, and what if same mistake happens again?”
“Mate with your soulmate then the arousal will stop coming abnormally”
“But he’s not ready, he’s still young and…
“Then wait for him” Rivera replied and vanished.
“Goddess!!!, She left again…oh my Starr, what do I do?” She thought, falling on the ground .
