Chapter 9 - Work - Raine's POV

I escaped the party early because I wasn't interested and told my boyfriend also I will be leaving as I had a early morning schedule.

I reached home and went through my schedule for the next day and spoke to one of the maid who is asked to keep an eye on me as if I am a criminal informing that I will take at least one and half month to comeback as I have lots of works, she was confused but I only told "I am telling you because your eldest miss will ask so remember" with the same confusion she said okay.

Next day I left the place at around 2am in the morning because I had a shoot scheduled at 4am.

I reached the shooting location and got my costume and makeup ready for the shoot with all the thoughts of the changes that my sister showed to me in the past one day.Just as the thoughts were taking a new dimension I was called in for the shoot. As the shoot began every other thought I had before left my mind as I entered the character and started deleviring my role as acting is something that I enjoy a lot.

By the time the shooting ended it was 8pm in the evening and the day was called off with the director informing the shooting will resume tomorrow morning 8am. After the shoot I reached my room and called my boyfriend Ezie who picked up the call within the first few rings and we started talking about our day where he informed me about his meeting with Alice and told even he felt something strange about her bahaviour and some random things for so long that I didnt realize that I slept while I was still in call with him.

Just like this the days went on, in the next fifteen days the movie shooting completed as the shooting was almost done with only a few sequences pending.

After the movie shooting ending the shooting of the series " My life" also started as there were only few episodes to be shot as the remainimg were already shot and were being aired. Just like this my days were always packed and hectic with shootings but the short phone calls in between the shoots and long calls after shoot with my boyfriend never ended and before I realized a month and half was over, so was my shoot without any glitch and problems from my family which was a shock after they came to know about me asking the maid which I was sure my sister did.

It was the last day of my shoot after which we had a celebration party for the completion of the series, where Ezie came to pick me and I went back with him and spent a night with him where i got to know the details of his encounter with my sister and went back to our apartment and spent a few days there before I started practicing for my concert next week.

As I started preparing for the concert, days went by very quickly and again I forget everything about my family and about how I have to deal with them after I go back to my house and finally it was the day of my concert.

The stadium was filled with thousands of people and I felt all their energy pass onto me and as I started performing all my songs throughout the evening as my concerts are known for being long as I only hold two concerts a year at two different places and the concerts are held for only one day in each place.

The concert which started at around 3pm in the evening went on till 12:30am the next day before it ended.

After the concert ended I packed up my stuff and got ready for my flight which was at 4am in the morning to reach back home and face them once and for all as the people that my father asked to track down are following me but aren't able to create any problems only because of the fact that my sister would have asked him to, not knowing that there would be hidden gaurds my boyfriend has placed around me who if it came out to protecting me wouldn't mind killing them if they feel they are a threat to me though they are my father's people and I wouldn't be able to stop it as my safety is something Ezie wouldn't compromise on and that would create a larger mess for me to clean.

As I waited for my flight I thought of everything that has changed in the past month and a half from the change in my sister's behavior and how she is stopping my father from actively pursuing and creating problems during this near two months of my schedule because without my sister playing a role I know my father wouldn't be this calm knowing that I am doing so much more than he thought without his knowledge.

I also have a feeling that my sister knows about my relationship which is making her be cautious about me which is also in return making me be more careful around her, and I also feel hat this is the start of something that I don't like and it is going to either maintain or break the thin line of bond I have with my family and all those feelings were so overwhelming me that I felt like I couldn't breathe but a phone call woke me up from my daze and I picked it up without looking the caller Id to hear a smooth and deep sleepy voice of my boyfriend filled with concerned " Are you alright??"
