'Listen Luelle, there's no reason for you to take what I said earlier personal'.
'What do you mean? I'm not taking anything personal'.
'I know you are. You're taking revenge because I said I would've stopped you from getting married right?'.
'Don't be ridiculous, let's go, you have no other choice'.
'Ugh! You're the worst'.
Luelle dragged Kaelani back and it seems like Liam had convinced Xavier as well.
'Liam, did you convince Xavier?'.
'No sister in-law, he threatened me'.
'I guess that works too'.
'Sister in law. That's not fair.'
'Sorry brother in-law, I have no choice.'
'I guess it's friends before brothers in-law.'
'Yes'.
'Miss Kaelani should follow me now as you need to get some rest'.
Xavier said and proceeded to leave while Kaelani hugged Luelle.
'I should leave now, bye Luelle, bye brother in-law'.
'Bye, please behave yourself at my brother in-law's place. Don't ruin my reputation'.
'Oh, I will, goodnight'.
Luelle sighed as Kaelani left.
'Good idea Liam'.
'What idea?'.
'The idea of bringing those two together. Now, my soul will be at peace to know that my best friend may not be single forever after all'.
'When did I bring such an idea?'.
Luelle looked at Liam who was genuinely confused.
'Never mind'.
'Tell me'.
'Forget it Honey, you'll never understand. There's no need to explain it to you. Let's talk about something else'.
'Honey?'.
'Yeah. We should call each other by a nickname right?'.
'I don't think so. Never have I imagined myself addressing you so intimately'.
'Well, you better start imagining it. Don't worry, I'll let it go this time'.
'You were saying something about a live show earlier?'.
'Yeah, I'll be attending a live show to bid goodbye to my fans'.
'When?'.
'The day after I get discharged, next two weeks '.
'Isn't it too sudden? Don't you want to go for one last concert?'.
'Nope. I don't wanna die before getting married'.
'Why do you talk about death so casually?'
'Don't you also do that?'.
'Do I?'.
'Yeah'.
Liam was speechless.
*She really has a way with words*. Luelle wasn't wrong though.
Liam might not notice but he had started seeing life in another way.
Just the thought of not being able to bicker with this girl, made him feel suffocated.
*What's happening to me?*
'Alright Luelle, you'll come with me to country M then'.
'Hold on. What about Xavier?'.
'Xavier will stay here now. He's going to take over his company'.
'Company? Xavier has a company?.'
'Yeah. He had a company but he had to come to county M because of his parent. He handed the company over to his manager'.
'Wow. That's new. My brother in-law is really impressive'.
'He is. Now, you need to rest'.
'Alright'.

Mia and Clara were unpacking in Clara's room.
'Don't worry Mia, you'll soon have your own room. it's only a matter of time. You just do as I say and you're safe in this house'.
'I'll do as you say. All I want is Liam'.
'Don't rush it. It won't be easy to get Liam back. He's with another girl now. I heard he specially went to country S to propose to her'.
'What?!'.
'Don't worry too much though. The family hasn't accepted her but Liam is someone who'll do whatever he wants so you should still feel threatened'.
'I can't believe Liam would get engaged so quickly'.
'Of course. Do you expect him to mourn you all his life?'.
'He used to tell me that he could never be with another girl and he couldn't live without me and now...
'That was in the past. That was before you messed up, he'll get married to that girl soon'.
'No! I can't let him marry another girl, not while I'm alive'.
Clara and Mia's thought were different.
*I'll get my hands on the transfer papers as soon as possible before the old man give it to Liam. Mia will be a distraction for him and before he realizes it, the company would've be mine*.
*I'll get Liam back at any cost

XAVIER AND KAELANI
Xavier was frustrated as he couldn't increase his speed because he wanted to be polite.
*This is torture!* He thought to himself.
'Stop!'. Kaelani suddenly stopped him.
'What's the matter miss Kaelani? am I being too fast?'.
'Are you kidding me? Can I drive?.'
'Huh? Well...uhm....
'It's okay, I can drive.'
'Okay.' Xavier didn't know why she suddenly wanted to drive but he accepted and soon, he understood why.
Xavier held his breath nervously as Kaelani sped like a bullet.
*I was wrong*.
'Mias Kaelani, you might wanna slow down.'
'Just tell me where to go.'
After some minutes of torture, they finally got to Xavier's villa.
'We're here'. Kaelani said and Xavier ran out to breathe some fresh air.
*Wait, isn't this my house? Shouldn't that be my line?.*
'Welcome to my humble home miss Kaelani'.
Kaelani marveled at the sight before her. It was beautiful.
'Humble? This is more than humble. It's beautiful!.'
'Thank you miss Kaelani'.'
'Alright. First of all, please drop the formality, it's kind of weird, just call me Kaelani and I'll call you Xavier.'
'Alright Kaelani.'
'Thank you Xavier.'
'Let's go inside '.
'Sure.'
Kaelani followed him inside and was even more stunned.
'Wow, too bad I'll only be here for a few days.'
'Really?.'
'Yeah, I mean, you have to leave for country M right?'.
'Nope. I'll stay here from now on.'
'All of a sudden?.'
'Not really.'
'Oh, okay.'
'Let me show you your room.'
'Yes please.'
***
Luelle recovered very quickly with Liam's help. Days passed by quickly and it was finally the day of the live show. Luelle had been discharged and she had went back to country M with Liam.
She sat in front of the mirror as her makeup artist dolled her up. She sighed repeatedly, it wasn't like her to get nervous at all.
'Regretting?.'
'No'.
'Are you sure about this?.'
'Yes Liam, very sure'.
'Goodluck, I'll be here waiting for you.' Luelle's heart skipped a bit as Liam said that. She leaned towards him to steal a kiss but
'What are you doing? Stop playing around, you need to go now'.
Luelle sighed, 'why do I feel like you're doing this on purpose?'.
'What an I doing?'.
'Nevermind.' Luelle adjusted her dress and went on to the stage as the host called her name.
'Please welcome, superstar Lily!'
