Dying in silence

Fontana and Samantha moved out of the room and took the stairs.

Half way through it, they met Mrs Longworth, a lady was behind her, she was carrying a box.

“I’m sorry for not informing you before hand, but, I’m glad you made it here”Mrs Longworth said.

“It’s okay, ma’am”the lady replied.

Fontana paused on the stairs with Sam and glanced at her mom.

Mrs Longworth smiled when she also saw her then introduced the lady behind her.

“This is the makeup artist, she will be in charge of your Makeup”Mr Longworth said and Fontana furrowed her brows.

The makeup artist thought she was angry because she came late and quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry miss for not coming earlier”she apologized.

Fontana just nodded and turned to her mother.

“Samantha already did the makeup for me, you don’t have to worry”she explained.

“That’s just a little touch up, Ana. You can’t call that a makeup”her Mom replied and Fontana snorted.

“But I love It the way it is, I don’t like wearing heavy makeup, it makes my face itchy”Fontana whined.

“It won’t be too heavy, it will be moderate. She’s the best in the city and that’s why I hired her”her Mom replied.

“Must I even wear makeup?”Fontana asked, getting pissed off with the whole thing.

“Of course, you are the Longworth only daughter, you can’t go to the show looking all simple”her mom expounded sweetly then glanced back at the lady.

“Make it snappy, please, time is not on our side”she said to her and she nodded with a smile.

Well, she’s honored to be invited into the Longworth mansion for their daughter’s make-up. She’s really happy she get to see her before the show, she heart her a big time.

“You can use the living room for it”Mrs Longworth added and she nodded.

“I will be back, Fontana”she said to her daughter and left.

The lady suddenly felt nervous Infront of her and she beats her leg on the floor gently.

Fontana just stared at her silently.

What’s she doing?

“Uhm…. miss?, c… can… we begin now?”the lady asked, fiddling with her make-up box shyly.

Fontana nodded and started walking away.

Earlier that day

Mia was dressed up in a black jacket and blue trouser.

Her hair was packed in a ponytail.

She was putting on a black sneakers..

She wore her blue lens and grabbed her phone and bag from the table then exit the room.

She took the stairs down and hurried out of the living room.

“Good afte…..”her driver tried greeting when she walked inside the garage.

“Give me the keys!”she rasped, stretching her hand towards him.

Her driver quickly brought out the keys from his pocket and gave it to her.

“Tell that damn gate man to open the door”she said to him rudely as she walked to the car.

She used the key to open the door and got in.

She droved out of the garage and fortunately for the gate man, he had opened the door cause if he hasn’t, she will make sure she starve him with food for a week, she won’t even let him taste any water in the house.

Yes – that’s how brutal she can be.

She drove out of the compound speedily and the gate man closed the gate.

She drove for a long time and finally arrived at a big company.

She parked her car and stepped out with her bag.

She flicked her hair to the side as she walked towards the building.

She opened the entrance door and walked in.

She glanced around and sighed.

How will she find her?.

She stopped a lady that was walking by to ask her what she’s there for.

“Hey, just a moment”she pleaded even though the words sounded to be said with an authority.

“Alright, what do you need?”the lady asked.

“Can you direct me to Elsa show room?”Mia asked and the lady nodded.

“Sure. Go to your left side, you will arrive at a lobby then you walk down and you will come across two stairs down there, both leading to a different area, take the right one and you will see the showroom”the lady explained, describing with her hand.

Mia nodded and started walking away.

The lady that explained the direction to her scoffed.

“Not even a thank you”she shook her head and walked away.

Mia took the direction she explained to her and arrived at the room.

She didn’t bother knocking as she just opened the door.

The room was big and spacious.

Luxurious lingered around it.

A bright light engulfed the room, adding to its beauty.

The room looks vivacious.

It was divided into two, one was for relaxing and one for the show.

Two big sofas were placed inside the room she’s currently in.

There’s a wine bar and different types of wine collections was stored in it.

She sighed and walked to the other room that was for the show.

She could hear some voices from inside so she guess they are filming a show.

She walked back to the relaxing room and dropped her bag on one of the sofas.

She moved to the wine section and entertained herself.

She walked back to the sofa and sat down.

She took the whole room into her brain as she sipped from the glass of the red wine comfortably.

She crossed her legs and waited patiently for Elsa.

She soon emptied her drink and stood up to get another glass.

She poured the wine into the glass and turned around immediately the door opened.

Elsa came out with a young guy and paused on seeing her then she smiled at her.

The guy beside her happens to be a young celebrity and he was damn cute even with all the piercings that was on his body.

Mia gulped hard and quicky looked away from him.

“Then, we will see when we see, right?”Elsa faced the guy and smiled.

“Sure”he replied and left.

“Hello”Elsa said to Mia.

“Hi”she replied.

“Hope I didn’t keep you waiting for so long?”Elsa asked.

“Yeah”Mia answered as she twirled the glass in her hand and came to sat down opposite her.

The other room door opened and some men walked out with their instruments which they use in filming the show.

“Mia, right?, you’re the one that called yesterday”Elsa smiled and Mia nodded.

“So, let’s talk, what do you have for me”

“Huh?…. actually, I came here to ask for a favor”Mia began and placed the glass of wine down on the center table.

“And how may I help you?”

“I heard Fontana show with you has been rescheduled”Mia said.

Elsa looked at her crankily and sat properly on the sofa.

“Yeah..”

“Please, can you let me know the date it was rescheduled to?”Mia pleaded.

For the first time in her entire life, she begged someone.

All because of her role model, well she can go to any height because of her.

She really love her.

“I can’t leak any of my show’s information, I’m sorry. And don’t worry, if it get rescheduled, we will definitely inform the media about it and I’m only having this type of a conversation with you because of your father”Elsa sighed softly.

She and her father are a little close.

“Okay”Mia bent her head dolefully.

“But, can you inform me when it get rescheduled?”she asked.

Elsa phone rang almost immediately she said those words.

“Excuse me”she excused herself and grabbed the phone from the table.

Her eyes beamed when she saw the caller ID.

She quickly picked it up…..

“Hello”

“My daughter will be on the show tonight, I don’t want any crowd so I haven’t inform the media”his thick voice rang out and Elsa smiled.

“Really?, that’s great, sir. I will be waiting”she replied happily.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He disconnected the line and she dropped the phone back on the table and looked up at Mia with a smile.

“You got really lucky, guess who the caller was?”

“Uhh… I can only imagine…”Mia smiled nervously.

“It’s Mr Longworth, he just rescheduled the show to tonight”

Mia gasped out and covered her mouth with her palm.

“Oh, my God”she muffled a scream.

“But, you aren’t gonna tell anybody. He doesn’t want any crowd”

“Oh – of course, I won’t. Thank you so much”Mia smiled out and Elsa nodded.

“I will get going now”Mia added and stood up with her bag.

She needs to go for shopping.

She have to get some gifts for her role model.

“All done miss”the makeup artist chimed as she dropped the lip gloss.

“Oh, okay”was only what Fontana could say.

Samantha walked up to them with a tray.

She dropped it on the stool in front of them and smiled at Fontana who had a frown on her face.

On the tray was two bottles of chilled yoghurt with some cupcakes.

“C’mon, you look extra cute”Sam nudged Fontana lightly.

“Yeah, right?. I really can’t blame you cause you can’t feel what I’m feeling, I felt like I have the whole world on my face, just on my face!”she rolled her eyes.

“Well, if feelings can be transferred, I will have actually have it transferred to me by you. Sorry honeybun, you will have to manage”Samantha sighed.

The lady packed her instruments back to the box and stared at them as they discussed.

Sam seems very close to her.

“Oh, have your drink”Sam turned to the lady and said.

“Uh… thanks”she said nervously and leaned down a bit to carry the yoghurt on the tray.

Mrs Longworth entered the living room and went to open the door.

“Thanks for coming”she smiled to the person at the door.

She ushered her in and closed the door behind them.

She led her to Fontana and she narrowed her brows.

“What is it again, mum”

“Meet the hairdresser, she’s the owner of….”

“Please, mum. I can’t do anything again, I already have the whole universe on my face”she whined.

Samantha stifled a laugh.

Universe you say?..

“You just have to endure, baby. I know all this is new to you but you will get use to it real soon, okay?”Mrs Longworth cooed and moved closer to her.

Fontana released a rough breath…

“Fine mum!”

Unknown Pov

I revived the car around….

I just received an information.

Fontana show with Elsa was rescheduled today.

This is frigging good.

I should just take her down for good and move to the next target.

My phone rang and I grabbed it from the passenger seat and picked it up.

“Hey, you get a sniper?”I asked.

“Yeah”

“Find a spot on a high rooftop close to Cktv and get the sniper there ASAP”

Authoress Pov

The hairdresser was done in styling Fontana hair.

Samantha placed a mirror infront of her.

Her hair was styled in curly wave….

She looks really beautiful.

Since she insisted on wearing the band, it was dipped in the middle of her hair and it also seems to act to her beauty glamorously..

It made her look like a high school Barbie.

She also looks like she just stepped out from a beauty magazine..

Her demeanor softened and her mother smiled at her lovingly.

This is her daughter!

“What are you ladies still doing, it’s almost time”Mr Longworth asked impatiently from the stairs.

“Oh!, we are all done, darling”Mrs Longworth replied him.

“Samantha, your you will accompany her to the show”

“Fontana, come on stand up it’s almost time”Mrs Longworth said and started walking towards the door..

Fontana also stood up and started walking away with Samantha scuttling behind her.

As they opened the entrance door, she turned to Sam.

“Swears, Sam. I’m not feeling comfortable”she pouted.

“You will have to manage”Sam replied.

Mrs Longworth, who was walking ahead of them turned to look at them.

“What’s it?”she asked, still walking.

“Uhm?, nothing”Fontana shook her head and she turned back.

They got to the lots. Guards stood beside three different cars.

A guard stood beside a car with her driver so Fontana guess it was her ride.

She recognized the guard to be the captain.

He bowed when she walked over to the car.

Her driver quickly opened the door for her and she hopped in. Sam also came and sat beside her.

The driver got it and Fontana mom knocked on the louvers.

The driver whined down the louvers and she came into view.

“Bye. Try not to be nervous in front of the camera, okay?”

“Yes Mom”

“Take care”

The driver whined the windows down and drove out, followed by the three cars.

They drove for a long time and finally arrived at the company.

Guards rushed out from the cars behind and ran to stood in front of Fontana’s car.

Fontana stepped out of the car while Sam got out from the other side.

The guards walked infront of her and some behind her as they moved to the building.

*Oh my gawd… Fontana!?!!”

*OMG!!!”

Mia, who has been waiting for her shouted excitedly.

She knew it was her because of the guards that followed her.

She’s the only one that will walk out with so many guards.

“Oh my God, Fontana.. I love you so much!, you’re my role model!!”she yelled elatedly as she walked to them with a Billboard.

*I LOVE YOU FONTANA*was boldly written on it.

“Gosh, what the heck?”Fontana scoffed.

Though, she haven’t seen Mia’s face properly.

“I thought we didn’t inform any press but how does…”

“Wait, she looks familiar”Fontana suddenly said, cutting Samantha off.

“Hun?, what do you mean?”Sam asked.

Mia got closer and Fontana gasped.

“Oh, my. That’s Mia”

“Mia?, who’s Mia?”

“Did she just say I’m I role model?, God!. This girl clearly bullied me like crazy in the school”Fontana scoffed.

“Bullied?, were you being bullied?”Sam asked anxiously.

Fontana just shook her head.

“No, that’s not what I meant”she said after some minutes.

Mia got closer to them and Fontana stopped walking.

The guards noticed this and also stopped.

Mia tried going through the guards but they didn’t let her.

She still haven’t seen Fontana’s face clearly.

“I’m sorry miss. We can’t let you through”one of the guards said still blocking her from seeing Fontana.

“Miss Fontana?, please I really love you, tell your guards to let me pass, I have gifts for you”Mia pleaded and Fontana smirked.

She stood properly and ordered the guards to let her pass.

“Mama mercy, I really…”Mia said as the guards let her through but paused when she saw Fontana.

Her eyes dilated in shock and her mouth dropped opened…

What the…..

“Fon… Fon..”she stuttered her name speechlessly.

The whole thing seeming to be a dream to her.

“It’s such a pity that I don’t accept gifts people like you, hmm… you smell!. Did you just walk out of a dump?”Fontana said sarcastically.

“Ew!, guards!, please take this lady away from me, I don’t want to get infected”she added repugnantly.

Mia collapsed immediately…

“What the….”Sam amazed.

“You sounded arrogant just now”she added and face Fontana.

“She deserved it”Fontana replied.

“What should we do with her, miss?”the guard asked.

“Just leave her be, she will soon wake up”she smirked and started walking away with the guards.

Samantha shrugged and ran after them.

They got to the building and the people there stopped to look at them.

They wondered who she is.

The guards asked for direction from one of the people and led the way to Elsa studio.

They got there and one of the guards opened the door up.

Elsa face popped out immediately.

She has heard the sounds of approaching footsteps.

Her eyes widened and she gasped.

“Fontana!”she called excitedly.

Fontana bowed to her then raised up her head with a smile.

“Oh my!, come in”Elsa left the way and Fontana stepped inside with Samantha.

The guards stood outside the door.

“Shall we begin, please?”Fontana asked.

“Uh?.. i thought we could relax and have refreshments before we begin”Elsa stuttered nervously.

“I’m sorry but I will like us not to waste any time with this”Ana replied.

“Oh – okay. Everything is set up, let’s go”Elsa said and walked to the other room which is the studio.

Fontana followed behind while Sam stayed back.

The room was lovely.

The room was painted in sky blue and the tiles were of the cloud design.

It has two white sofas was placed together side by side and the cameras were facing them.

#Elsa show was printed on the wall behind the sofas.

Fontana sighed and faced Elsa.

“Take your seat”Elsa gestured at one of the sofas at the left side.

Fontana nodded and went to sit down.

“I will just call the camer…”The opening of the door cut Elsa short.

She turned and it was the camera men.

Oh.

“I was just about calling you”

“Oh, we get here as soon as we can. Hello, miss Fontana”one of them smiled.

Fontana smiled and nodded.

She can’t wait for all this to end.

Elsa also went to take her seat.

The men walked to their cameras and placed it in progress then Fontana suddenly stopped them.

“Please, wait”she said and breathe in and out.

“I guess you are nervous because it’s your first time getting on a show”Elsa smiled.

“Yeah”Fontana replied.

“Just breathe in and out and going will be fine, okay?”

“Okay”

Fontana breathe in and out.

“I’m ready”

“Alright. At the count of three!. One…. Two… Three!”the men counted and set the camera in progress again.

The lights shone on the ladies face and one of the men nodded at Elsa.

“Welcome on today’s show, guys. As you can see, we’re having an important visitor here which I guess is the lady you’ve all been waiting for”Elsa talked and smiled.

“It’s Fontana Longworth!”she continued.

“And guys, I will be interviewing this pretty lady beside me tonight so you should all fasten your belt and wait for the ride. We will be back. Go get going popcorn ready!”

Fontana smiled at the camera before they went for a break.

Darrel walked out of the kitchen, with a bowl of ice cream.

His phone rang and he scooped some ice cream into his mouth as he walked over to the center table.

He grabbed the phone and when he saw the caller ID, he rolled his eyes.

“Hey…”

“Sup Man, did you see the news?. Fontana is currently on the he show with Elsa. Let’s meet at the junction, I need to inform the others”Harry said hurriedly and dropped the call.

Darrel eyes beamed and he smirked.

He placed his bowl of ice cream on the table and walked to his room to dress up.

##

“Okay. So tell us why you keep away from the media from all this long, miss Fontana”Elsa asked and crossed her legs.

They were back on the show some minutes ago and she has started asking questions about her after the introduction.

“Hmmm… nothing really”Fontana hummed.

Elsa smiled out…

“You just want to stay out of the media?”

“Yeah”Fontana said truthfully and nodded.

“Okay. Which school do you attend?”

“Uhm… Hamilton high”

“Wow. How old are you?”

“Me?”

“Yeah”

Fontana nipped at her bottom lip and replied….

“Eighteen years old”

“And you look like a twelve year old girl”Elsa joked.

Fontana just nodded..

She doesn’t know what to say.

“What’s your favorite color”

“Uhh… that should be red”

“What?…. why red”

“I don’t know, I just love it”

“Alright. What’s your favorite food”

“Spicy Noodles”

“Oh. And who do you love the most in this world”

“Ermmm…. that should be my mom”

********

“Awwwn, I love you the most too honey”Mrs Longworth blushed when she heard the statement.

She was watching her on the TV back at home.

********

“So, this might seems nosy but do you have a boyfriend?”

##

Meanwhile, Harry, Mike and Kyle were in the car at the junction waiting for Darrel and were watching the show on Harry’s phone.

“Haha. I don’t have any”Fontana replied and Kyle smiled.

“This girl is damn pretty, I can’t wait to have her”he said.

Darrel knocked on the window from the other end.

The guys looked up at him and Mike, who sat at the driver’s seat opened the door for him.

“Let’s go guys”he said Immediately he entered and he caught a glimpse of Fontana’s face and the headband on her head.

That looks like his*he thought.

He didn’t get to stare at Fontana’s face clearly as Harry shut his phone.

They drove to the venue and Mike parked the car at the garage.

The day is gotten darker.

As expected, her fans are every where now trying to enter but the guards that stood at the entrance won’t let them.

They waited in the car for the show to end.

**

“So, lastly but not the least, do you have a crush?”

Fontana jolted on her seat a little.

Her mind suddenly drifted to Darrel.

“No at all”she replied and clamped her palms today.

“It’s a pity this show have to end now. Miss Fontana, I look forward to having another show with you, thanks for your time”Elsa faced Fontana.

“Sure”Fontana nodded with a smile.

“Ok guys. That will be all for today. Join is on the show tommorow where I’ll be interviewing chef Park – the Korean chef. Good night and have a good rest. Elsa loves you all. Miss Fontana?”

“Yes”

“Drop a word for your fans”

“Uhh… I heart you all a big time”Fontana smiled and Elsa nodded.

“Bye…”she waved and signal the men to stop recording.

“Awnnn. It such an honor to have you on my show tonight, miss Fontana”Elsa turned.

“Yeah..”Fontana nodded and stood up.

“I’ll get going”

“I’m sorry, I won’t be able to escort you to your ride. I have to attend to something urgently”

“It’s okay”Fontana said and walked out of the room.

“Oh my, Fontana. You were great out there”Samantha said as she sighted Fontana.

There’s a TV in the room so she was watching the show all from the start.

“You think?”Fontana sighed.

“Of course”

Fontana shrugged and walked out of the room.

She met the guards at the doorsteps and scoffed.

“You guys didn’t rest?”

“We can’t rest in line of duty, miss”

“Gosh, whatever. Let’s just get going”

***

Darrel and the guys stepped out of the car and started walking towards the building.

“I told you guys to stay back at the car, I’ll handle this and it’s not as if you will be the one to approach her”Darrel scoffed.

“Seriously?”Mike scoffed.

They got to the entrance and Darrel stopped.

“You guys should wait here. Besides, we can’t show up infront of her together, it will be suspicious”

The guys grunted out..

“Fine!”Kyle sighed and they waited for him while he walked in deeper.

Meanwhile, Fontana was walking through the lobby with the guards ahead of her.

Darrel came bumped into them and he smirked.

“Miss Fontana”he called.

Fontana recognized his voice immediately.

He walked into her view more closer and she gasped.

It’s Darrel.

What’s he doing here?

“Step back young man”the guys tried stopping him.

“Leave him. Go wait for me outside”Fontana said and the guards turned to look at her.

“Miss?????”they called, surprised at her sudden request.

“It’s an order”she added and they looked at each other before leaving and she bowed her head immediately.

She doesn’t want him to see her yet.

“I know him. Step away for a while”she whispered into Sam’s ear.

“Oh”Sam muttered and stepped away.

Her voice sounded familiar to Darrel.

Then his eyes moved to the band on her head.

It looks so familiar.

They were both alone now on the lobby.

Fontana raised her head and his jaw dropped.

Unknown Pov

I set the sniper well on the railings.

She’s now left alone.

The guards are outside the building so this will be the best opportunity to shoot her.

I watched from the sniper camera.

I placed my hand on the trigger but something stopped me.

She was with a guy.

I looked closely and it was Darrel.

Hun?

What are they doing together?

I brought out my phone and started dialing his number.

“Are you done with the job?”

“Nope. The girl is with Darrel and there’s no way I could shoot that it won’t touch him, wha..”

“Just shoot them both”
