I'm new here and I'm gay as hell!

The guest room Andrea was in, was A typical room with a bed, and closet and other furniture, but there was this one thing that caught his attention first.

The floor mirror, and as he stood there staring at his reflection he started to feel strange.

"I'm beginning to lose weight...I can barely eat because of the stress that Jin idiot is giving me." Andrea said to himself, then he started to trace his own figure in the mirror.

"I don't want to be skinny again...I should go back to working out, but that stupid doctor says that my injury won't allow it."

While he was shirtless, his bullet wound was covered in a dozen at least of waterproof bandages.

"This wound makes me feel ugly...but it's alright... it's all for Nikolai." Andrea said while running his hands across those bandages as if he's caressing his own wound.

Smiling, "No one can just say they took a bullet for him." Andrea said giggling, but as quick as he smiled, he quickly frowned next.

"Why do guys fall for the man I love!

I don't understand why he'd even pick Jin! I can give him much more than that asshole can! I made Niko a star!" He said angrily.

"is it because he's a celebrity?! did I make a mistake helping Nikolai become a star?! I made him this desirable didn't I?!

Nobody cared about Nikolai before, except for That Julian... but because I came and I cared about him so much, and made him a star! now this fake redhead slut wants to reap what I sow!" An Angry Andrea mumbled to himself.

"But it was his dream! Nikolai's happy being an actor! right? as long as Nikolai is happy, I'm happy! right?

...I'm happy...right?"

When Andrea stop talking, he realized there was a tear rolling off if his cheek, he start crying as he spoke to his reflection.

"As long as I don't hurt Nikolai, I'm a good person, it does matter who else I hurt.

Why can't Niko love me back after everything I did! I paved the way for him! i built him!

He would've never made it out there without me!

HE NEEDS ME!

*sobbing* I'm his best friend, I loved him regardless of EVERYTHING!

They mocked him for his skin color, mocked him for his weight, for his sexuality!

They always told him he'll never be better than Julian, but I believed in him I made him the man he is today! *sniffling*

I'm his protector and I'm the only man He should love!" Andrea said to himself while desperately wiping his tears.

He was in pain, but to him he shouldn't be, he didn't like to feel that way and he blamed it all on one person.

"That son of a bitch! I'LL KILL HIM!" Andrea shouted.

As he gazed more into his reflection, he saw something else reflecting in the mirror.

Andrea saw the reflection of something that was on the bed.

A doll was sitting in the middle of the bed, and curiously enough Andrea went to the bed and picked-up the strange doll.

"You look lonely, and oddly familiar..." He wondered, it was a rag doll, 'She' was made to have blue eyes, long dark hair with with a skintone just like Nikolai, and she wore a blue saree dress.

Upon noticing that there was a tag sown to the doll, "Rusham? Is that your name little doll?...I wonder who made you..." Andrea said after reading the name written on the tag.

"I should really take a nap...maybe you came at the right time Rusham." he said.

After making sure that the door was closed, Andrea laid on the bed and hugged the doll close to his chest.

Maybe he needed a hug after all, that's why holding the doll made him feel peaceful enough to drift to sleep.

...Meanwhile...

"Do you think he knows it was you Lydia?"

"I think he does suspect me Jin...Though the last thing I need is a man coming after me, because I took his opportunity of Revenge away."

"By the way, how come Andrea is not surprised by the Madame's work?

"I have literally rescued Salvatore from his hands and was attacked by a group of armed men, they may have not been extremely professional, but they are definitely not ordinary people either.

That should probably explain why he's not surprised that the mother of the love of his life, is a crime Lord." Lydia replied.

"Sorry! I just realized that was a dumb question...I mean since Andrea knows what Radka does for a living, and the fact that he's very accepting of it means that he's at least involved in something similar to that, but what exactly?

Could be the Mafia... Since he has a group of strong armed men under his command, he's gotta be a gangster or something.

Maybe he's a Mafia heir?" Jin question.

"All I know that's Andrea is The son of a rich bossy Italian family who suddenly abandons his post as an heir, and decides to help a dying actor to find his successor.

He is Rich born into Rich, but I have no idea what kind of Rich? legal or illegal?

And in today's world even those who are legally rich, do have lots of gangsters and bodyguards with guns protecting them." Lydia replied.

Surprised, "Wait? abandoned? you mean Andrea just plainly gave-up on his family to join John Crawford on his search for a successor?" Jin asked.

"That's basically the story every girl knows about Andrea... however, if you haven't noticed already most of the girls don't like him, the term 'Pretty boy Andrea' was born out of dislike for the guy.

in the end we all consider him just a pretty face." Lydia said.

"I understand why Nikolai's Mom would hate Andrea, parents can weary of who their child might be dating, but what about the girls?

I noticed they hate him too but why? is it just because Radka hates him?" Jin asked.

"Yeah...while working for Radka is a reason to hate her enemies, Andrea isn't exactly an enemy yet to Radka unless she gets wind of what happened with Salvatore...But Andrea, let's just say that he rubs everyone the wrong way.

Radka trusted him with Nikolai's safety at first, when they started his journey to becoming a superstar.

But when the death threats started, and she got wind of it, she started having Nikolai watched from a distance." Lydia said.

"So Radka had eyes on Niko before he came back to town?" Jin asked, "Nikolai coming back to this town was just a fortunate coincidence to Radka... it allowed her to have more girls watching over him for longer time periods and without being suspected.

But Many of Radka's girls regardless of their jobs are gossip girls, who enjoy talking about other girls or things that happened during missions and jobs, and what's better than to talk about your boss's son?" Lydia said.

"You heard something?" Jin asked, "Exactly, I heard that some of the girls who followed Nikolai around when he came here, took notice of Andrea's strange behavior.

At first glance he'd seem like a polite and harmless guy, but then soon enough they start to realize that maybe just maybe, this guy is controlling Nikolai like a doll.

Basically the girls hyper-vigilant nature makes them hate Andrea..." Lydia said.

"It only came to my attention recently, that Andrea is controlling Nikolai...actually just today we had this talk with a director who told Niko to get rid of Andrea as soon as he can." Jin replied.

"That director is onto something.

Many of the girls working under Radka were in bad relationships before working with her, some of them only started working for her because she has saved them from their shitty partners, and from guys who couldn't take no for an answer." Lydia explained.

"So does the girls see Andrea's relationship with Nikolai, as something similar to their own experiences?" Jin asked.

"While I may be a stalker myself, but I'd like to believe that I'm the least worst type of stalker...

Many of the girls have been Stalked by evil guys or had guys obsessed with them to an unhealthy point...and even if these guys seem sweet at first.

At one point the majority of them snap and hurt the girl, especially when a new person comes into the picture like you are, and makes them too jealous and afraid of losing her.

And while the majority of victims of this kind of scenarios are women, we should also understand that abuse and shitty behavior, could come from any gender and any sexuality.

So The girls that have seen how Andrea is behaving recently, are starting to Share Radka's pov that makes Andrea seem to them, as someone who's too dangerous to be around Nikolai.

Meaning he's a possible future threat that needs to be eliminated soon." Lydia replied.

"Well I'm glad to know that! the more people who think that he's a threat, the better." Jin said.

"However...there's one girl that doesn't think that way of him, and she might be the reason why Andrea suspected me." Lydia said.

"Really, Who is she?" Jin asked, "Peggy, the post office lady, the one that looks like the nice version of a 'Karen'. " Lydia replied.

"You don't say?! the girl who thinks The 70s were good times?!" Jin said surprised, "She's This town's number one gossip girl, and she has fat crushes on every handsome man in town.

Andrea is her favorite by far, Because unlike the other guys, he give her so much attention and buys her food from time to time, which I can only imagine he's doing to get information out of her." Lydia explained.

"You're kidding me right?! I understand girls gossiping with each other, but why would Peggy be gossiping with a man?! giving an outsider information?! wouldn't Radka be angry at her?!" Jin asked.

"Radka doesn't really pay much attention to gossiping girls, and so far nothing bad had happened from Peggy's gossiping...the reason why Peggy trusts Andrea enough to talk with him, is because she believes that he's part of Radka's entourage because of how close he is with Nikolai and Rushil.

*Sighing* It was a strike of bad luck that Nikolai called Andrea to come here today, because I think That Andrea might've talked to Peggy today." Lydia explained.

"Ah shit..." Jin mumbled, "Anyways it was a smart call to get the girls here, there's a big chance they'd chase Andrea away, or keep him in check and away from me." Lydia replied.

"You know, I noticed that the girls earlier Treated you very nicely Lydia, compared to a girl Who's been blacklisted a few days ago."

"I suppose most of the girls have realized that Radka was being a bit delusional, thinking that I have something to do with her husband."

Chuckling, "I'm new here and I'm gay As hell! but I never in my life have met a man and a woman so perfect together like those two, Rushil and Radka are made for each other." Jin said.

"I Couldn't agree more, I just hope that nothing bad happens today too since they're going to be working on saving Minnie... and while I was the subject of Radka's jealousy, Minnie is a subject of Rushil's jealousy." Lydia replied.

"I doubt they'll fight about her, especially not in these circumstances, considering that Minnie's safety is much more important than the nature of her relationship with Radka." Jin said, "I hope you're right... Although I can't say I share your opinion." Lydia replied.

"I feel like you're hinting at something, but you can't tell me about it." Jin said.

"Unfortunately I owe Rushil too much, to share his secrets...so my lips are sealed." Lydia replied winking.
