Chapter 11

Selena

Everyone in the room was wondering how the on-set video can be leaked when there are no media allowed on sets but it wasn't something utterly surprising. Things like this happened a lot in our industry!!!!

I stood there holding onto my amethyst pendant, it tends to help with anxiety and in times like this, there's one thing I couldn't afford… is an anxiety attack. Tia placed a hand on my back in an assuring way that made me realize that I have her by my side. But my fear of things getting ruined for good took over me again because I knew where all this was going to lead.

When I stepped outside the agency building, I was welcomed by a wave of reporters and cameras flashing and waiting for me. The camera flashes could make someone blind at that very moment. I don't think I ever found the camera flashes this irritating before. The reporters asked numerous questions and some tried to shove their cameras and mics in my direction before Rhys pushed them away. Rhys Kane, my bodyguard has never taken any mercy on anyone, whenever someone tried to cross their line with me or tried to cross the safe distance.

Rhys and I have been working together since I was 18 and he treats me like his younger sister and he's as protective of me as an elder brother would be. I am so grateful that I have him as my bodyguard and my friend and a loving elder brother I always needed.

The reporters were so many that it was getting difficult for Rhys and other guards from our agency building. I took a deep breath and rubbed my sweaty palms against my trousers and told Rhys that I will answer the reporters. He told me I shouldn't but I gave him a look that made him understand that I'm going to take the control of the situation, he gave me a nod and stepped aside.
