Snapping the traps into place
The confident smile on Fred's face was smug at best, when viewed through another lens, it transcribed to arrogance and condescension. He took the mic, basking in the cheer of the spectators. “It's my honor to stand before you all today. Truthfully, before now, I had a haunch that I would make it to the finals, but didn't dare to be too hopeful. The journey has been long, filled with trials and temptations, through it all, I have been blessed with the gift of amazing people who held my hand.”As he spoke, his gaze darted beside the stage where Sonya now stood, waiting for her moment of glory. Cheers erupted from fans who were shipping them together, chanting their ship name. “All through this journey I have learned that hard work, honesty and perseverance surely pays off in the long run. To all the fans who have been walking with me, no matter when you joined us, you have all my gratitude.”The organizers pressed the bell, reminding him to be conscious of time. Other contestants wer
Rejoicing too soon
Alvin barely managed to maintain his balance using his unnatural flexibility. He wheezed out a sigh of relief and turned to Murong Wuque who was standing up, glaring at him with eyes full of anger. “Damn, man! You can't even take a joke. What if I had hit my head on the wall and my skull split open?” “Then you should die and be done with it. I've never met anyone as annoying as you are. You…” He was pointing at Alvin, his face slightly red, hand trembling. “Boring.” Alvin ignored him and replaced him on the sofa, pretending not to see Tiffany who was watching them in a mix of shock, horror and anticipation. “Boss, it didn't look like you were…” Tiffany signalled with her two fingers. “Playing around like friends.” She bit her lips and looked away. “Your eyes were burning, it seemed as if you wanted to eat him up. Boss, are you sure you're not gay?” Alvin kept silent so she continued. “Since I met you, I've never seen you messing around with women like other rich young mast
DODGED A BULLET
D-DAY STAR SEARCH ARENAFred sat in his artist car with Sonya and the rest of the crew. Unlike other times when he would come out to flaunt himself before fans, he sat in the car, slightly nervous as his team put the finishing touches on their plans and contingency measures. His phone rang at that moment, Sonya picked it up and placed it on his ear. “Sir, we went to erase the CCTV recordings. However, they seemed to have been spoiled for some time.”Fred wheezed out a sigh of relief, and nodded. “That's good. The only remaining issue is to ensure that he will not show up today.”“With the amount of Injury on him, plus the reopening of the old one, I doubt he would be able to stand straight. We don't need to worry about that.” Sonya said dismissively. “How about the incident I asked you to look into. The girl and the policemen that appeared that day…”“They're not with him. According to one of the policemen, the girl had seen him being chased and informed the police on patrol to fo

Sonya made her way to Fred who was hurling things at the wall, breaking things on the table. He reached for the antique vase on the display cabinet, and her eyes went wide with shock. She rushed to him and held his hand, gently prying it away from his grasp. “Sweetheart, calm down. You shouldn't get angry over irrelevant people, alright?” With a patient smile on her face, she patted his chest. He was breathing heavily, his eyes red, face twisted into something ugly. Sonya rubbed slow circles on his wrists, still smiling. “When you release your songs tomorrow, you will definitely top the charts. You heard what the experts said… the songs are relatable, trendy, and instantly immersive, it will be a hit among the youths. You merely need to get ready to rake in lots of cool cash.” She made eye contact with him, still wearing her vixen smirk. She placed a light kiss at the corner of his lips, still smiling. Their eyes met again, and she licked her lips in a subtle invita
dream chasing fools
JC entertainment, recording studio. Sonya and Fred were waiting anxiously while the sound engineers worked on the track. Fred sighed and played the recording they found in Alvin’s bag, his brows pinched in an expression of deep worry. “I hope I got the pitch correct. Otherwise, it won't be as good as that mutt's.” Sonya smiled and patted his shoulder. “It's fine. We have the best sound engineers, they will know how to merge and upgrade it. Stop worrying and get ready to be the champion.” Fred smiled proudly. “Being the champion is a small matter. By the time we're done with these five tracks, Mystery would only be eating the dust off my feet.” Sonya smiled, and patted his hand, giving him a reassuring squeeze. “Sir, the tracks are ready. Do you want to listen to it?” Their eyes brightened with excitement and they immediately went close to the sound engineers’ work station. “Play it.” A clear melody rang out in the room the moment 🎶 There so many people around, I d
navigating strange dynamics
Murong Wuque bit down on his tongue till he drew blood, clenching his fists till the medicine vials he was holding nearly cracked. “Alvin, what the hell are you doing?” He spat, a complicated emotion dancing in his eyes. Alvin looked at him innocently. “Didn't you ask me to enter the bathtub and run the water?” He turned around to fill the tub with water, and once again Murong Wuque's eyes wandered. He shut his eyes, chanting the mind purification sutra. “Why do you look so flustered? I merely did what you asked me to. Or do you take a bath with your clothes on?” The unwanted voice made him even more irritated. He gritted his teeth, his breath rising and falling steadily. The anger Mr. Silver hair was holding back instantly erupted. “Why didn't you wear your underpants? Are you that shameless?” Alvin chuckled, watching Murong Wuque, one of his brows raised slightly. “Why are you acting all offended? We're both men, nothing strange. Unless… you're having improp
