It was almost noon time when the girls woke up from their sleep. The beautiful morning sun shone brighter than ever and the roads were busy.

Jane got up from the bed rubbing her eyes to see clearly. She knew within her that it was late in the morning.

"My phone." She uttered to herself and walked down to the location of her phone. 

"Good morning Jane." Lisa who had just opened her eyes but still lying on the bed greeted her.

"Good morning Lisa." Her voice came out broken and raspy. Her throat had become sore and dry from all the crying, begging and the lack of water.

Lisa knitted her brows tight and sat up quickly. "What happened to your voice?" She asked like a worried mother.

"I don't know." Her voice sounded like a whisper.

"Oh my..." She said walking down to her friend. "I think your throat must have become sore from all that had happened last night." She added touching her neck as if checking if she was also running temperature.

"I think so too."

"Don't talk too much. Just hold on. I'll go get you water to drink." She walked down to the kitchen and brought a glass of water for Jane who was now sitting on the bed. 

"Thanks." She gulped the water down her throat without taking a break from it. "Thank you." She said as her voice slowly returned back to normal and handing the cup back to Lisa.

"Feeling better?"

"Yes. My throat was really sore, but I'm feeling better now."

"Thank goodness." Letting out a sigh of relief.

Lisa headed back to the kitchen and returned shortly after that. 

"So what's popping today?" She said to herself but the words reaching the ears of Jane. She grabbed the remote control and switch on the TV.

Both Lisa and Jane looked frozen to what had appeared before their eyes. The incident from yesterday were on all news channel. 

Lisa quickly grabbed her phone and she was in utter disbelief. 'Even on the internet' she said within her. The video were leaked out from the incident that took place the previous day.

"Oh my God." Lisa said covering her mouth. "This is bad. This is very bad." 

"Li...Lisa..." Jane called out motioning her to look at the TV.

The paparazzis were questioning the handsome young man. None of them giving a break.

"Are you a Wang?"

"Why have you hidden yourself from the world all this time?"

"How long have you hidden yourself from all of us?"

"What's your name sir?"

"Sir, sir, we need an answer from you."

When he didn't say a word to any of them, they turned to Mr Wang.

"Mr Wang, your son, Felix, assaulted a girl publicly. Please what do you have to say about this?"

"Is the young man also your son?"

"Has your son, Felix, always been like that?"

"How many girls has he actually assaulted so far if he can do it to those poor girls."

Mr Wang halted his steps to speak up. "We'll deal with this matter privately. And yes, he is my son. So please respect our privacy while we deal with this matter, and no further questions. Thank you."

"If he is your son, then why can't he speak? Is he mute?"

"How old is he?"

"Why did you hid your son away from the world?"

"We need an answer from you, Mr Wang."

Mr Wang and his family just walked pass them without saying a word with the help of their bodyguards clearing their path.

The paprazzis were all over the Wang's shortly after Jane and Lisa left the party.

"Recently, we uncovered a new face of a Wang who has hidden himself from the world. Though his name is still unidentified, the whole world is dying to know who he is, why he'd hidden himself from the world all this time." The news caster said. "Yesterday at the wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs Wang, Mr Felix the son of....."

Lisa switched off the TV unable to bear anymore of it.

Jane slowly turned to Lisa as worry start to etch on her face.

"Li...Lisa...." She called walking up to meet her and holding her arms gently. "Are...are you okay?" 

Lisa stood there for a while not knowing what to stay. Her body and her lips were frozen because of what she had seen. "I'm not okay." She said in a bit angry tone. "I'm not okay. I'm doomed. Really doomed for sure this time." She said not blinking her eyes.

Jane hugged the frozen Lisa. "Lisa, I'm so sorry. You got into trouble again because of me." She said almost breaking down but trying to be strong this time. "It's....it's all my fault all this happened. It's my fault you did what you did. I'm really sorry."

"It's not your fault." She said in her calm tone pulling herself away from the hug. She stared into Jane's eyes and held her shoulders firmly. "Let me handle this alone."

"You're sure?"

"Yes. But as for now, you need to go home."

"But...."

"No buts." She said cutting Jane off. "I'll deal with everything. You need to go home now. I guess uncle and grandma are also worried about you."

"Are you sure Lisa."

"Yes I am. You don't have to worry about me."

"Okay." She said and hugged her. "Just take care of yourself and tell me when you need anything."

"Hmmm."
