The queen is back || 2

"Eva is such a lovely name." Andrea said as she went down on one knee to be on an equal height with the sweet little girl. "You have a very soft voice, as well. Do you sing?" Andrea asked harmlessly. 'If she doesn't sing then it'd be such a pity, her voice is so soothing..' Andrea thought to herself.

"I do!! th-that's the only th-thing I c-can do without Stu..stuttering.." Eva smiled brightly. "Oh? that's so cool! Maybe we can sing together sometime? do you play an instrument?"

"I can play the piano!" Eva said confidently.

"I see, let's play the piano together when we're free! I'd love to play piano with such a cutie like you." Andrea pinched the little girl's soft cheek lightly. "Excuse me..Miss Lian, I apologize!" A woman with snow colored skin, freckles from cheek to cheek, green eyes and dark brown hair said, She seemed to be young. Perhaps in her early 20s. She took Eva's hand and patted her head. "What did we say about interrupting others? Come on."

"No, don't take her away, she didn't interrupt me at all." Andrea said as she looked at the woman with a professional smile. "Miss Lian, it's such a pleasure to meet you, I really apologize that she interrupted your practice... I'm Eva's manager. My name is Chloe. Eva has some practice right now." Chloe replied with a lovely smile on her face. "Nice to meet you, Miss Chloe. Eva is a really lovely child. I've loved her so much already..Such a pity that you'll take her away.." Andrea said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "Don't worry, little Eva. I'll meet you again, i promise. Here's my number." Andrea took a card from her bag and handed it to Eva.

Eva's eyes lit up, she hugged Andrea's waist. 'How could someone be so cute?!' Andrea wanted to take Eva to the hotel with her and just raise her herself, she was very adorable. Andrea hugged her back and waved goodbye.

The Artists who were watching the scene really loved Andrea at that point. Most people hated Eva for her stuttering, calling her 'a broken record' but Andrea on the other hand didn't seem annoyed at all. Instead she found her extremely adorable.

Now that Andrea was left alone, She began playing the drums, recording in a soundproof room. Voices from outside wouldn't come into the room but everyone could clearly hear the sounds from inside! Andrea's beat was indeed catchy.

Andrea chose to compose the song herself, all she needed was material. Which was provided to her. She played the electric guitar in two different chords. Along with the drum. Her drum plays were so strong and so was her guitar.

Andrea opened her laptop and wrote on her social media a post:

"Been silent for too long." Was the title of her post. Andrea stayed for a few minutes writing. And she said the following:

'I would like to clear the rumors that have been circling me lately, I am definitely not a stalker Nor do I have any feelings for Mr. Collins. We're as good as strangers. people think we might have bad blood due to our break up, However, That's not true at all. I do wish him the best with the shinning actress Rosie. Also, to clarify why I was Infront of the restaurant, it's true. I coincidentally passed by that restaurant as I was going to eat lunch after a business meeting. I hope everyone can get a clearer version of what happened. And I'm awfully sorry for any inconveniences I've caused.'

That's what she wrote, but she didn't publish it. She set her glasses aside and Instead, she went live. Attracting hundreds of thousands of views.

Andrea cleared her throat and started to speak. "Hello, everyone. I'm here to justify the rumors lately..." She wore a professional smile as she spoke. "I do not have any feelings for Mister Collins anymore, however, I won't lie about the kidnapping incident."

'Oh my god, is that really her?'

'She looks more beautiful...I wonder what happened?'

'I can't believe she went live!' The comments of the citizens were clearly showing that they're confused. Yet very interested.

"Due to my blinding jealousy. I believe I've done many wrong things. I did love Mister Cameron very much..." As Andrea spoke, she felt her eyes tearing up as she remembered her memories with Cameron. But she desperately tried to stop crying. However, her nose began to redden as well as the corners of her eyes as she wiped a tear that threatened to fall with her finger.

Damon in his office felt very suffocated. His expression turned gloomy. He could tell very clearly that she was very hurt. 'If I knew it would hurt her to make a statement I wouldn't have told her to..Dammit.'

"I've been silent and took all the hate because I thought the rumors are just a phase, but they kept getting worse. I had my reputation completely ruined just because... I've loved someone...."

The live was exploding with activity, Millions were already watching as Andrea spoke. They shared the live getting more attention. The more she talked, The more People sympathized with her. Some even started talking about their own failed relationships.

"However, loving someone my hurt deeply and may make you dumb. Completely ignoring whatever the person had done to you. And this is what I did.." Andrea took a hold of herself as she intertwined her fingers together, looking down away from the camera for a couple of seconds, as if she was talking to someone. Feeling ashamed of herself. "Mister Cameron was clear that he had no feelings for me. He was also very straightforward when he said he liked..No, When he said he 'Loved' Miss Rosie. However, the way he still treated me with respect and gentleness..made me misunderstand his intentions. Especially when he took me to the film festival as his female companion..While Miss Rosie was there..." Andrea was indirectly throwing dirt at Cameron. Back then, Cameron invited Andrea to the film festival, when he first liked Rosie, so he can test the waters and see if Rosie will get jealous.

'What the hell is Andrea pulling?! didn't she have enough!? she's really stupid! I can literally make her life a living hell yet she dares to...' Cameron watched the live in anger. "Nice prank you pulled back then Cameron." Rosie said with the phone in her hand, she was sitting next to Cameron in his living room at his house. "Babe..sorry, I didn't know I would cause so much trouble for you." Cameron sighed, Hugging Rosie's waist, slowly pulling her closer. "It's alright love. don't worry." Rosie leaned her head on his chest. "After all, Everyone hates Andrea now. Who cares what she does? The citizen's opinion is easily manipulated, Also, Andrea wasn't straight with what she said anyway." She assured Cameron.

("@Ann_quin") joined the live.

"Since I've lost my job, left my house.. has nothing to lose...and my life is already a living hell thanks to someone..I think..." Andrea's voice came in again. "Now that I think about it, I believe I was played."

Rosie's relaxed expression suddenly turned tense. 'What is she doing?' Rosie thought to herself.

Meanwhile, in the Lian mansion, Ann had turned on video cast on the television and watched her daughter's live. Along with Lian...and the maids stood on the stairs, silently watching.

"Mister Cameron was very clear about not liking me, Although he did say that face to face, he still took me to the film festival. Attended my fashion show, Took me to other social events as his female companion and also did business with my company. Didn't I have the right to misunderstand at that point? I did cling to Mister Cameron..only because he gave me the space to." Andrea's face quickly changed to indifference, wearing the same fake smile that didn't reach her eyes again.

'WTF? Cameron did that?!!'

'I remember seeing him with Andrea in the film festival...'

'Andrea's fashion show premiere had Cameron in the crowd too...I can remember that!!!'

'Yes yes I also remember that G.L.D.N and that company Andrea was working for had some sort of collaboration for a new collection?'

'Did we misunderstand Andrea..?'

Rosie and Cameron were anxious as they read the comments. What the hell? "Did she just shamelessly say that she clang to you everywhere you went?" Rosie couldn't hide back her surprise. After dealing with Andrea, she learned that she was a straight forward person. She wouldn't hide what she feels. What's in her heart is on her tongue but she never believed she'd even slander herself in order to dirty Cameron's name!

"Mister Cameron used me to get Rosie's attention, that's what I came to be aware of after a great time of locking myself alone in my house for over 5 months atleast. I was very jealous. And yes, I did kidnap Rosie." Andrea spoke honestly. Rosie was amazed. She never thought Andrea would be so straight forward about kidnapping her.. Cameron sat there with a frown on his face. Damon, too didn't believe that Andrea would bring Rosie's kidnapping incident up. Especially when she was trying to clear her reputation. Lawrence watched with his boss silently, Very amazed that Andrea had the bravery to say ("I kidnapped someone!")

"However, The people with me didn't even lay a hand on her. But I did slap her myself. I believe you've all seen my fights with her in public places. I'm also sure you all saw that video where we were gripping eachother's hair right? Haha." Andrea rubbed her nape nervously. 'I can't believe I was so dumb to fight with someone in public, no wonder he was able to ruin my reputation so easily..'

"I didn't do anything more than that, as to why I'm not in jail right now, it's because Rosie willingly went into my car. She mistook it for her car and I took the opportunity to take her."

Damon and Lawrence exchanged glances, then shifted their full attention back to the live. Not only were they watching, But also the whole of Bloss entertainment!

"What I did was indeed wrong and I got the punishment for it, I got blacklisted. I suppose I'm too honest for my sake, I never hid the jealousy, hatred or disgust I held for Miss Rosie in my heart. I mean, I've known Cameron since I was 19. I wasted all of my youth ignoring others just to love him and what I got in the end was that the heart I was working so hard to get... someone came in and stole it without even trying to."

Lian was sitting watching in uneasiness, The guilt in his heart was spilling. He was wrong. Andrea was his daughter yet he knew nothing about what she was facing at all. suddenly, he heard soft sobs. He looked at Ann, who had tears running down her face as she watched in shock. "I pushed her to this...I wish...I wish I knew it'd hurt her so much... Lian...i want my daughter..i-i want to talk to her atleast...please, only now I realized that she was the heart of this house...it was only bright when she came back from america.."

The servants looked at Ann from the second floor. They couldn't help but feel their heartbreak as they exchanged glances. "I miss the young lady...so much.." A maid said as she wiped a tear away. "She really was the heart of the house.. without her it's really meaningless..I wish she never met Cameron..she was such a loving person before she knew him.."

Rosie bit her lip, she was feeling anxious. Her stomach turning up and down.

'I understand how Andrea feels...I liked this boy for 2 years and he loved someone else too!'

'No wonder Andrea stayed silent, she didn't want to dirty their names.. I'm glad she chose to be honest.'

'I think I'm doubting Cameron's clean reputation now...'

'I think I saw Rosie and Cameron on this live! where are they?! we need an explanation!'

"However..." Andrea stood up, bowing 90 degrees to the camera as if she was bowing to someone she respects sincerely. "I apologize for what I've done." She sat back in the sofa, this time, her lips curved slightly into a depressing smile. "I don't regret meeting Mister Cameron. He is indeed a gentleman. I do hope the best for him and Miss Rosie..." Andrea said elegantly, then flashed a warning yet smiling look to the camera. "But, I'm coming back as soon as possible. Be aware of me. I'll hit when nobody is expecting it." That hidden message was directed to Rosie and Cameron. Of course though, people didn't get it as Andrea's words had a double meaning. on the other hand, Cameron and Rosie felt...a little threatened. "Thank you for listening to my rant, goodbye." And Andrea ended the live, then directly published the post she wrote. Getting millions of shares in just a few minutes..The people really turned against Cameron and Rosie now. They saw Andrea in a much better light..Her reputation was almost 90% clean now..

Andrea sank into the music room's sofa... barely holding back herself from crying. 'Why am I so pathetic...' She thought to herself. She hated how she acts tough, but can't actually be tough. She was glad that she hid herself deep inside the room where no one could see her. And hopefully she had the whole room to herself. She kicked her heels aside and hugged her knees to her chest, feeling extremely emotional. Yet refusing to cry.

Ding!

Andrea got a new message, she slowly picked up her phone to see who it was from..

@Damon_Gracia✓: ("You did very well and held yourself back, You should be proud of yourself.")
