'So Xavier. The banquet. You, Kaelani, and...an ex with a suspicious glittery dress. But what I want to know is-what happens next'.
Xavier was about to answer but he suddenly remembers something.
'Hold on, your dress'.
'It's disastrously beautiful right? I know'.
'What? No.....I've seen this dress earlier. The shadow! Right, it was you!'.
Vicky thought, *Oops, I should've been more careful*
'I was just...
'You!.....you're the one who said that earlier right? You called me a jerk and said I was quick to judge Kaelani'.
Xavier didn't allow Vicky to speak.
*Oh no! He's ruining my storyline*.
'You're changing the subject Xavier, answer my questions'.
'No! You answer mine!'.
'What if I don't?'
'Then this interview is over!'.
* Wow, he's really threatening me. I should've turned my mic off earlier*
'Darn it! Fine, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. But this will have it's consequences. I'll have to change a few stuffs since you're asking for spoilers now'.
'I don't care, just tell me'.
Xavier was nervous as Vicky's ever smiling face fell'.
'Alright listen, you have indeed misunderstand Kaelani. The man from earlier.....
Xavier was shocked.
'You.....if i had continue to believe that, we would eventually have serious misunderstandings!'
'You can't escape it Xavier. What will happen will eventually happen no matter how much you try escape it'
'What? So you're saying....
'yes'.
*Now, I have to change everything *
'Now answer my questions Xavier. You're ruining my storyline and Interview!'.
Xavier was really confused but Vicky had returned to her cheerful self and she wasn't ready to answer any of his questions. He sighed, *I should just forget it*
'Yeah you should've forgotten it earlier'.
'How did you.....?
'How do you think I knew what you were thinking earlier? '.
'Alright, I'm done asking questions. Let's continue with the interview'.
'Finally! I asked what do you think will happen next?'.
'You tell me, Vicky. You were there'.
Vicky grinned. 'Caught. But in my defense, I wasn't stalking-just crashing with flair. I go where the scandal lives'.
Xavier laughed. 'I should've known. You were the one behind the chocolate fountain wearing feathers and judging the crab cakes'.
'Those cakes were a crime, Xavier. But let's get back to you. What were you thinking, sitting between your ex and Kaelani?'.
'I didn't choose the seating chart. I just chose survival'.
'Mmm, and survival got a little shaky when Kaelani went to the washroom, didn't it?'.
'You really don't miss anything, do you?'.
'Not when I'm sipping a mediocre mojito and watching your ex slide her hand across the table like a soap opera villain. So—what would've happened if I hadn't walked up and said, 'Hey there, Lamby-Heels' cousin'?"
"She might've tried to reclaim me. With jazz hands. Or emotional manipulation. Honestly, I panicked."
"You panicked so hard, you used me as a shield."
"You were effective! She backed off instantly.
Vicky247Lovely flipped her hair dramatically.
"As she should. But now that Kaelani's back from the bathroom... what's next? Dessert or drama?"
Xavier half-smiling while looking at Kaelani.
"That depends. Did someone spike the sorbet?"
"No. But I might've slipped Kaelani a little information. About... the 'serenading ex.'"
"Vicky—what did you do?"
"Just warned her. Told her to keep an eye out for high notes and low motives."
Vicky247Lovely turned to the camera,
"Stay tuned, my darlings. The night isn't over, the ex is still circling, and Kaelani hasn't really spoken yet."

THE HAYES MANSION
'There's no buts Cecilia. This is none of your business!'.
'Don't get worked up dad'. Liam tried to calm his father down. His dad never talk to his mother like this but things changed after that incident.
'Listen father, do you still have something to say about their relationship?'.
'No, I don't'. The old man responded. Even though the head of the house was Cecilia, Edward still called the shots in the house and Cecilia couldn't do anything about it.
'Good. Luelle dear, call your grandfather and let him come here so we can discuss the engagement and wedding'.
'Yes sir'.
'I'll allow you to call me that for now but hopefully in a few weeks, you'll address me as 'father in-law'.
'Yes sir'.
Scarlett couldn't stand it and left in anger. The old man sighed and watched as Edward went to his room while Cecilia ran after him.
*She has turned the house into chaos even though she hasn't gotten married yet*
Luelle and Liam left. Liam sighed as they were inside the car.
'Why didn't you tell me earlier?'. Liam asked Luelle.
'I thought you would be angry'.
'Why would I?'.
'You never spoke about him until that day'.
'Did you notice that the car behind us has been following us since we left the mansion?'.
'Really?'. Luelle turned to look at the car and it was the same car that overtook them earlier.
*Oh no! This is definitely not a coincidence*
'Are you okay?'. Liam asked when he noticed Luelle's uneasiness.
'Liam, I.....
CRASH!
The car collided against Liam's.
'OH MY GOSH!' Luelle screamed as Liam bled from his head.
'I'm okay'. Liam said. He was frustrated as the car sped off.
INSIDE THE CAR
'There's no way I'll let you get hurt Luelle'. The man said as he caressed Luelle's picture.
'But for you to get married to that man.....it'll be over my dead body'.
***
Luelle was scared as Liam's car was taken away. His injury had been taken care of.
'Liam'.
'Yeah? Is something the matter? Are you hurt anywhere?'.
'No Liam, listen to me'.
'Okay'.
'I have something to tell you'.
'Okay, go on'.
'Please don't hate me after this'.

Xavier was so busy socializing that he completely forgot about Kaelani. He was still thinking about vicky's last words.
*I wonder what she told Kaelani*
He was also ashamed to face Kaelani as he had misjudged her earlier.
*I wonder where she is, I can't see her anywhere*
Soon, the guests were already leaving and Kaelani was still nowhere to be found. Xavier was starting to panic.
*Where is she? Did vicky do something to her because of what happened earlier?*
Xavier asked some guests if they had seen her and just when he was about to call Luelle, he decided to check the hotel rooms. Xavier caused quite a scene as he ordered all the rooms to be checked.
'Is there any secret rooms?'. He asked the hotel manager.
'Well...yes but.....'.
'But what?!'.
'It has been booked by Miss Zina and her friends'.
'What?.
'Yeah and their doing a livestream'.
Xavier took out his phone to check the livestream and when he saw it.....
'F**K! F**K! F**K!!'.
Oh no!, the manager thought.
