Everyone"s attention was in their smartphones, laptops and computers. They are all antic.i.p.ating the latest music video teaser of Hyacinth. Even the people who weren"t familiar with her were intrigued. News has spread about her live stream earlier that day. Hyacinth has never promoted her teaser. She would just share an official post by her agency but that"s all. Her different reaction made all excited.

Suddenly, Yve"s phone rang. She immediately answered it. She was worried that the PD team might have encountered a technical issue. So without looking at the caller ID, she hurriedly answered the call.

"h.e.l.lo? Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing will ever go wrong after this failure, my dear sister." It was Airis.

"What does she need this time?" Yve thought.

Yve was about to end the phone call when Airis said,

"WAIT! Don"t end this call yet. Care to share how miserable will look like? So that I can prepare a decent speech?"

"No need for that! The video is perfectly fine and unlike before that SkyMu was a one man show. This time, the staff helped me a lot."

"You really trusted those useless trash?"

"Well what do you know? Maybe the trash that you referred to just needs a machine to make them s.h.i.+ne."

"What...."

"I"m going now."

"YOU"RE JUST CONFIDENT BECAUSE VINCE!!" Airis finally snapped out.

"Well of course. He"s someone that you dreamed of. But he was not, isn"t and will never be yours but certainly MINE and MINE ALONE!"

Yve ended the phone call and intensely looked at Vince.

"Please don"t give me that look." Vince pleaded.

"What kind of look?" Yve innocently asked.

"Those seductive eyes which can drive me crazy." Vince answered.

On the other side, Amira tried to calm Airis down as they wait for the failure that Yve will experience. They might have a.s.sured the fans but they"re sure that this teaser was rushed. And this time, they will not be able to save face. Critics, journalists and even fans will release their sentiments and they can"t do anything about it. Yve"s failure will result to Airis" return in the company.

Then the SkyMu"s official channel started their countdown,

Then the teaser started. The first scene was Hyacinth coming out of a luxurious car in a red stiletto heels and leather pants paired with red laced tube. She also wore thick make-up. This scene lasted for 5 seconds while the next one showed her magnificent dance moves. She wore different clothes but the look was still fierce. It was the highlight of the teaser which was why it was given the 10 second air time. And it ended with a pure look from Hyacinth wearing an all-white clothes saying the t.i.tle track "Back to Me". It showed the release date which will be three days from today.


The teaser may have been very short, about 20 seconds but it was enough to mesmerize the people who watched it. Immediately, comments in the social media flooded with positive feedback.

What an amazing video! I can"t wait for the official music video.

It has a different vibe and I love it!

The management has done a great job with this change!

HYACINTH!! Can"t wait to hear the entire song!

"COME TO ME" will be sure hit!

HYACINTH is dancing!! MY heart is beating so fast! I can"t wait to see her perform the song live!

"Ms. Yve"s is really amazing!" Hyacinth"s manager said.

"Yes! In that short time she was able to have an idea for the teaser and was able to accept our opinion to improve it." The PD director said.

"What amazed me was the editing skills of the young man who arrived early tonight." Hyacinth said.

"I heard he was Mr. Gray"s man. He was called to help in the editing."

"At least we have fulfilled our promise. We did our best given the short time and now we just need to work on the music video and the promotions." The PD director said.

"Let us handle the promotions. The PD team should focus on the music video while Hyacinth should concentrate on the ch.o.r.eography and the emotions to be shown." The PR director said.

"I guess that"s all for tonight. We did our best and let"s evaluate tomorrow. We all deserve to rest." Hyacinth"s manager said.

With that the employees of SkyMu went on to separate routes as they say h.e.l.lo to their beds and bid goodbye to a stressful day.

"It can"t be! How were they able to shoot this teaser?!!" Airis exclaimed.

Amira can"t say anything to comfort her daughter as the 20-second video was really great. Although they knew that this was rush but it doesn"t seem like it.

So many things are running in Amira"s mind now. Did the staff actually did this on their own without Yve"s knowledge? But I don"t think that is the case. The staff of SkyMu aren"t skilled enough for this kind of output - the song, the theme and the editing. These must all be Yve"s doing. But I thought she was still in the hospital? We really should be careful about Yve. Sooner or later she will start investigating the past. I need to make some drastic measures.

Amira was brought back to reality when she heard loud cracks inside the house. She looked around and didn"t saw her daughter. So she ran towards the sound and there she saw Airis. Airis has been throwing bottles of different liquors around the room in her frustration. Amira approached her daughter and stopped her from doing so.

"Airis, you should stop now. Please." Amira said as she hugged her daughter from behind.

Airis felt weak in her mother"s embrace and sat on the floor.

"Mom, why does Yve get everything she wants in a blink of an eye? I have been yearning for Vince"s attention ever since college but to know avail. I LOVE HIM FIRST!." Airis said and cried her heart out. She turned around to face her mother and hugged her back.

"Even with the company.... She"s doing so great in it."

Amira can"t even say a word to ease her daughter"s pain. Deep inside her she knew that Yve is not a pushover. Yve used to suppress her abilities and skills because of the sister bond she used to have towards Airis. But now that it"s gone, nothing can stop her now. To comfort her daughter, she hugged her tight and gently stroked her daughter"s back with her hand.

After the tiring teaser shoot, Yve"s day isn"t finish yet. Her laboratory tests are on their way. Yve hopes that she will be cleared to go to work while Vince was just hoping that his Queen is totally fine so that they can go back home.

Yve was subjected to a CT scan and blood test. Even her urine and fecal samples are requested. They"re doing the executive check on her to confirm that everything is fine with her. After about 2 hours, the series of tests were finally put to an end. The results will come out tomorrow and the doctor will give the decision during his visit.

"You did well tonight, Yve." Vince said as he hug her tight.

"Mmmm. But I wouldn"t be able to do it without your help. Thank you for always being there for me." Yve hugged him back.

Vince felt circling motion at his back.

"What are you doing, Yve?"

"Hmm... I was just thinking how foolish I was."

Vince broke the embrace to look Yve in the eyes. He cupped her face for them to see each other in the same alt.i.tude.

"What do you mean?"

Yve leaned her head to Vince"s hands and said, "I shouldn"t have left you before."

Vince pulled Yve closer until their foreheads touch and closed his eyes. Yve did the same.

"Don"t worry about that. It"s all in the past. The most important thing is that we"re together now."

"Hmm. And I will never leave you again." Yve casually said.

A smile formed in Vince"s face. He moved back his face and caressed Yve"s face down to the back of her head and pulled her into a kiss. Yve didn"t show any resistance and instead she wanted more. She"s hunger for this kind of kiss. Sweet and pa.s.sionate but she wanted more. So she pull Vince closer to him and fought for dominance. Vince was a little taken back by this gesture.

"Y.v.e... wh....at... are....you.....?" Vince tried to utter in between kisses.

"I....wa...nt...mo...re...." Yve answered back.
