LUCIAN’S HOUSE***
Alvin, Lucian’s younger brother came out from his room, and sees Tinsley busy drawing some designs of clothes.
“Don’t you get tired of that Tin”. He asked sitting beside her.
“When you have a dream you don’t get tired still you achieve it”. Tinsley said and continues drawing.
“Good for you then Tin”.
Tinsley looks at him and smile.
“Am planning on making this dresses and sells them at the main market, what do you think Alvin”. Tinsley said showing him the designs.
“Am not interested in looking at them, show it to someone else”.
“But there’s no one at home Alvin, just take a look at it, and I’ll prepare your favorite meal”.
“Really Tin”.
And Tinsley nods.
“Don’t back out in your promise, or am going to cut off your big ears”.
“Lucian won’t let you do that, but I won’t back out, just take a look at it, and stop being so annoying”. Tinsley said.
Alvin took the drawing book from her, and began flipping through the pages, looking at the designs of clothes she has draw.
“What do you think Alvin”.
“Your a whole full of talent Tin”.
“You think so”.
“I know so Tin, don’t worry Tin, am going to help you become a fashion designer, a popular one at that”.
“Really, but how are you going to that”.
“Because am going to support your dreams in anyway I can”.
“Promise”.
“Cross my heart to die”.
“Then I will cross that heart of yours if you back out”. Tinsley said and Alvin Smiles and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Tinsley looks at her shoulder and then to him.
“I won’t, didn’t I work for days so you could pay your tuition to be an intern at a fashion house”.
Tinsley nods with a smile, she looks at Alvin’s hands which were still on her shoulder, and she could feel her heart will soon explode anytime soon, because of the numerous beatings.
“Cause your my sister Tin, I’ll go any length for you”. Alvin said.
And Tinsley looks at him and fakes a smile.
“So are you’re ready for your schoolarship exam to Crestview high school, do you want me to couch you, as for me, am so f_cking ready”.
“You don’t always have to boast about your brains”. Tinsley said taking his hands off her shoulder.
“No one ask you to be dull”.
“Wh@ťěver”. Tinsley said with a frown, and Alvin Smiles.
“Am stepping out for a while, so see you later Tin”. Alvin said and Leaves the house.
Tinsley stood up from the chair, and watch Alvin from the window, he was already talking and laughing with their neighbors.
“He so cute just like Lucian….I wonder when he’ll stop seeing me as his sister……we ain’t even related”. Tinsley said with a sad face.
But when she saw Alvin’s laughing face, she smiles widely.

MONTANA HOTEL***
Loud Mõ@ɲs could be heard from Room 305, as Mr Robert th-ru_st in and out of Yasmeen.
And after so many rounds of S*x, Mr Robert Falls back on the bed sweating all over.
“Your sweet Yasmeen, I wish I can have more of you”. Mr Robert said touching her B-__-bs.
Yasmeen smirks and slaps his hand off.
“I already done my part of the deal, so make sure you nominate me, as the best singer for the award this Friday”.
“There’s no worries on that Yasmeen, your surly going to have the award”. Mr Robert said.
And Yasmeen smile, now she can finally be able to beat Seraphina this time, she thought inwardly.

“How was your meeting with Mr Conner”. Pailsey ask as she drives, she decided to drive them home, so Seraphina won’t repeat the incident she did earlier.
“If you’re that anxious then you should have joined in the meeting”.
“Is boring when you talk about business, I love it more when you talk about your show and all that”.
“Your silly Paisley”.
Pailsey smiles and asked.
“So are you preparing for this year singing award”.
“Ion see any reason why I should stress myself over that Paisley”.
“But I guess your so called cousin will go any length just to win the award….. she’s so pathetic”.
“That her cup of tea, I don’t give a darm about her anyway, can you stop at the gallary”.
“Why”.
“I just want to take a look at the artworks and see if anything can caught my attention”.
“Nothing has ever caught your attention Seraphina, I won’t doubt it if they say your heart is made of rock”.
“Stop jabbing bullshits and take me to the museum”.
“Fine your Royal Highness”. Paisley said, Seraphina looks at her and smiles, she the only one that understands her despite being rude to her.
Paisley pulls the car to a halt when they arrived at the gallary, Seraphina was about coming down from the car, and Paisley quickly stops her.
“What’s wrong”.
“Don’t tell me your going in with your bare face”.
“And since when have you seen me wearing a face mask”.
“I guess you’ll do it today if you want to go inside that gallary, lot of people come here Seraphina, and you h@ťě signing autographs right, it might be your fan signing event today, if you don’t put on a face mask on”.
“I don’t want to Paisley”.
“Then do you want to do signing of autograph the entire day”.
Seraphina looks at her and sighs.
“Fine, do you have any with you”.
“Of course I do, a whole lot of it”. Paisley said and brought out a Park of Face mask from her bag, and gave one to Seraphina.
Seraphina sighs and puts it on.
“Okay now”.
“Not yet”. Pailsey said and rough her hair a little.
“More better now”. She said smiling.
“Ain’t you going to go in with me”.
“Our efforts with be all for nothing if I go with you, the whole world knows am your manager”.
“Fine… wh@ťěver”. Seraphina said and came down from the car.
She entered the gallary and just like Paisley has said, there were lot of people inside.
She even helped herself scattered her hair a little bit, and began walking around the gallary and thankfully no one recognize her, if not the whole building will have collapse because of screams.
“I knew it, nothing is going to attract me here, maybe I should just leave, inorder to take this darm face mask off”. Seraphina said to herself.
She was about leaving when her eyes caught a painting.
The painting was beautiful, and it was a drawing talking about life, saying no matter what one faces or goes through in life, one should never give up.
Seraphina takes the paintings, and her eyes keeps looking at the painting.
The artist must really be a good one, Seraphina thought inwardly, and a smile appears on her face, is definitely talking about her.
“You must like the painting right”. The manager of the gallary asked.
Seraphina looks at him, and for the very first time, she answers respectfully all thanks to the painting.
“Yes I do, is talking about life….do you know the artist who drew this”.
“Yes I do, his name is Lucian”.
“Lucian, where is he, I would love to speak to him”. Seraphina said smiling, but since she was wearing a mask, no one could see it.
“Lucian don’t often come here, he only drop by once a while”.
“I will really love to see him…..is it okay if I take this, is really captivating”.
“Sure you can”. The manager said and tries to leave but Seraphina said.
“Wait, I want you to give him something”. Seraphina said.
She quickly took out a pen and a note from her bag.
She wrote something in it and gives it to him.
“Here, give this to him, when next he drops by”. Seraphina said.
“And who will I say is from”.
“Mmmm, from one of his fan”. Seraphina said.
“Fine I’ll give it to him”. The manager said, he took the note and leaves.
Seraphina looks at the painting again.
“Lucian”. She muttered smiling caressing the painting.
