Chapter 5

• "You are the only one I have seen who took a break from work who was not happy," Azy commented as the make-up artists fixing my hair and face.
• I rolled my eyes and did not bother to talk. Even if days have already passed, my chest pain still doesn’t go away every time I remember what had happened on Valjerome and I’s anniversary.
• "By the way, you already know, don't you?" said Azy.
• My forehead knotted as I glanced at him¾waiting for him to continue.
• “You will be having a partner for today’s shoot,” he said.
• "What?!" I exclaimed.
• His lips parted and put his hands on his waist. "Do not tell me again that you have not read my messages yet?!" he growled at me.
• I closed my eyes and then avoid my face from the artist’s brushes. I signaled them to step aside as I looked straight at Azy.
• "What do you mean by I will be shooting with someone today?" I asked him, clarifying things.
• He massaged his temples before shaking his head. "Jazzie, we can't stop this shoot. I've got paid and I have already signed a contract," he explained before I even try to say whatever.
• "Bullsh*t, Azy! You know I do not just hang out with anyone," I reminded him.
• "I am sorry, okay? I thought it was okay with you this time because you did not reply. I am used to the fact that when you do that, you let me decide," he reasoned out.
• I did not utter a single word and just quietly troubled in my mind.
• "Is it a man?" my confirmation.
• He bit his lower lip and nodded slowly. I gasped and closed my eyes in frustration.
• This is why I do not want to accept any partners in the shoot because I am sure that this will be a guy. No one in the world I live in knows that I'm married, that's why my fans are so excited to pair me up with anyone.
• Valjerome will also get angry when he finds this out.
• No, he probably already knew it.
• "Just let this one pass, Jazzie. I am begging you." Azy took my hand then looked at me softly. "I'm sorry. I really don’t know," he said.
• I let out a deep breath and nodded my head. "Fine," I said sparingly.
• He immediately stretched his face and smiled big. "Really?!" he said unbelievably.
• I took off my hand and rolled my eyes. "You know, just go outside and take care of the photographers there, I know you like one of them," I scoffed.
• He grinned at me and came slightly closer to my ear to whisper. "I'd rather hit with the make-up artist's assistant." He giggled before finally leaving the dressing room.
• I just shook my head because it looks like he wants a woman now.
• Deceptive heart.
• A few more minutes later and I am done with my make-up session. I changed my clothes to what will I be wearing in the shoot and left the room as Azy started calling.
• I calmly walked while wearing the red flowing dress with a slit in my thigh. The neckline of the dress is also a bit deep so my chest is much more defined.
• "Jazzie!" Azy happily greeted me and held my arm. "Come on, I will introduce you to your partner," he said happily.
• I did not object and let him guide me to where my partner is. As we took our steps, I already noticed the guy sitting on a high chair while sipping his drink. Even though he is turning back, that didn't stop me from seeing what he was doing.
• "Mr. Hevion!" Azy called cheerfully.
• The man stopped drinking and slowly turned to look at our directions. I stopped walking as soon as our eyes met each other.
• His eyes.
• I can not remember where I saw them but I am sure I have met him before.
• "Hey, Jazzie. Are you okay?" Azy asked me which brought my attention back.
• I cleared my throat and looked at my friend slash manager. I smiled sparingly then continued to walk.
• The guy did not speak a word. He just stared at me as if he is analyzing my actions.
• Where did I see him?
• "Hi, Mr. Hevion. She is Jazzie, my beautiful model. She will also be with you in the shoot," Azy said.
• The guy hummed while nodding his head and then reached out his hand to me. "Chaos Hevion," he formally introduced, not losing his stare at me.
• Even though I felt uncomfortable in his stares I still chose to work professionally. I was about to reach his hand when a strong arm wrapped my waist and pulled me away.
• I was ready to pull off myself and scream but I was stunned to what I saw.
• "She is not working with you," Valjerome, my husband, coldly said to the Chaos guy.
• I blinked thrice as I kept staring at his face. "V-Valjerome," I uttered with my shivering lips.
• His cold eyes slowly turned to me. "You are not working with him," he commanded.
• It was like I was under a curse and just nodded to his wishes.
• A sarcastic laugh grabbed our attention. From where he was sitting, Chaos slowly stood up and stared at my husband.
• "Sorry, Mister whoever you are, but apparently she needs to work with me or else..." He then looked at me and smirked. “She will be imprisoned.”
• I looked at Valjerome nervously. I was afraid that he might think I really liked what was happening right now, but he did not look at me.
• Few seconds after, I saw the edge of his lip lift. "I will pay for the damages," he said lazily.
• Chaos laughed again before looking at Valjerome seriously. "Do you even know what was written in the contract?" he mocked.
• I suddenly became nervous so I focused my attention onto others. Most of the staff are silent and just remained staring. Instead of thinking what is really happening, I looked at Azy for an explanation.
• He looked at me, apologizing, before heading out. "Mr. Hevion said that if you ever breached the contract, you will be dating him for a month or else you will be imprisoned," Azy whispered just enough for us to hear.
• My mouth parted in disbelief.
• Pardon?
• "Azy!" I shouted annoyingly and combed my hair with my fingers.
• "I am sorry. I just thought it was a fair deal, I did not know you had a boyfriend, Jazzie," he explained.
• Damn!
• "Just give me the price," Valjerome spoke coldly.
• Chaos flashed an evil smirk. "Let her work or let her date with me, choose."
