Vienna's POV
Flashes of cameras and questions from the media welcomed me when I arrived at the venue of the event.
I ignored personal questions because I have no time to answer that and it might create another issue. I am tired of explaining myself to the public.
"Miss Caskcut you look stunning in your gown, may I know who designed it?" The middle-aged reporter asked me. I liked her question, it wasn't personal so I stopped to answer her.
"Amanda. She knows me too well. She knows that my asset is my back," I remove the hair that covers my bare back and placed it in front "sexy right?" I asked and they all agreed. I laughed and thanked all of them before walking towards my assigned seat I regretted doing it because my seat is beside Simoun's rumored girlfriend.
"Hi," I greeted politely but she just raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms around her chest.
"b***h, " I whispered before sitting. I look at her again and rolled my eyes.
"It's nice to see you again Simoun," I focused my head on Simoun's direction. I saw how cold sweats formed on his forehead. I know that his thinking about what we did last night. Yes, we have s*x.
"Yeah, same," he replied shortly which made me smile.
"Did you like the photos?" I asked pertaining to the photos that we have taken to promote the summer fashion wear of his clothing company.
"Yeah it's good," he replied again shortly.
"Just good?" I asked trying to hear a compliment from his mouth.
"Just good Vienna. Not best, not better, just good." His girlfriend Sabrina butted in which made my head even hotter. I am short-tempered when it comes to this woman.
"At least I'm good. Unlike you who can't pull off even teen swimwear. Flat boobs, flat butt, are you a door?" I asked and laughed which pissed her. She was about to stand up but halted when they started presenting my photos. I smirk at Sabrina feeling proud of the outcome of my photoshoot.
"You're drooling Sabrina," I joked and gave her a tissue. She rolled her eyes at me and leaned on her seat. She watch the presentation boredly but her attention was caught when another slide showed a picture of her and Simoun. It was followed by a question,
Will you marry me?
Sabrina covered her mouth using her hands when Simoun kneeled on the ground while holding a ring.
"Will you marry me, Love?" Simoun asked her full of love in his eyes. Sabrina nod her head and after that Simoun slid the ring onto her finger.
They kissed and hugged each other tightly in front of the media, in front of me. I felt bitterness upon witnessing their sweet moment. I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to leave without informing anyone.
I wiped my tears as I ran away from that suffocating place. I wanted to forget the pain and erased that scenario in my mind even just for a while and the only thing that could help me do that was liquor.
When I reached my car I was about to drive off when Samantha my manager called me. I'm too tired and hurt to explain my disappearance so I ignored her call and drove away from the event's venue.
After half an hour of a drive, I reached the bar but before I get off from my car I wore a black jacket and a cap for cover. I looked unfashionable wearing a gown underneath a large jacket but I would rather look like this than be bugged by people.
When I am fully covered I opened my car door and walked toward the bar entrance.
"ID Ma'am?" The bouncer asked me so I took out an ID from my wallet and handed it to him. I heard his gasp when he read my name so I lifted my head and asked him to keep quiet and he agreed.
I peacefully walk inside and scanned the whole place to look for a good drinking spot. A couch on the dark side of the bar is empty so I decided to occupy it.
When I am finally settled a waiter approaches me.
"Drinks Ma'am?" He asked politely and waited patiently for my answer. When I finally made up my mind I answered, "a bottle of tequila please," he wrote my order in a small notebook and asked me if I wanted to add something but I just shook my head.
When my drink arrived I started drinking without any inhibition. In just a minute I already finished half of it. My vision started to blurry but I can still feel the pain so I took another shot followed by another shot until my vision slowly darkened.
"You have a problem, Miss?" A voice asked me. I lifted my head and just like the guard he was shocked to see me.
"Vienna?" He asked to make sure and move his face closer to mine.
"Shut up," I threatened and grabbed my phone. I should call Samantha but instead of pressing the call icon I pressed pictures and directed to my photos and some videos. My eyes landed on a sensitive video that I took last night. It's my s*x video with Simoun.
"Whoa, what's that? Scandal?" The man beside me asked and I felt like the blood on my face was drained upon realizing that I wasn't alone. I immediately hid my phone behind my back.
"Don't worry I am not judging you. You are a human. We have needs. That's normal." Even though I couldn't see him I can tell that he was smiling.
"Thank you," I replied genuinely and smiled back.
"Hey Babe looks at Vienna's latest post," I turned my head in the direction of that voice.
"She looks f*****g hot," the man commented maybe he is stalking my profile page so I ignored it not until I heard Simoun's name.
"That's Simoun right?" I started to panic. How did Simoun end up on my profile page?
I started to panic and my hands started shaking. My phone slipped out of my hand.
"Hey what's wrong?" The man beside me asked with worry in his voice.
"Can you please check my profile?" I begged and he nod his head agreeing to my request.
"Holy s**t," he uttered after a few seconds.
"Why?" I asked curiously about what he saw.
"Your s*x video," he answered and I felt sober upon hearing his words. I picked up my phone and I saw I accidentally clicked the share button in my gallery and the video was directly uploaded to my social media account.
I deleted it but they were fast to get some copy and in just a minute it became trending.
Tears started to fall in my eyes and after a while, I received a call from Samantha.
"What did you f*****g do?" She asked enraged at what I have done.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," I started sobbing but not loud enough to be heard by other people except for this man beside me.
"This is a huge mess Vienna. That video could ruin not just your career but Mr. Montague's name. What the hell are thinking and where the f**k are you?" Samantha doesn't curse often but if she did ready yourself because you are in great trouble and I know I am indeed in great trouble.
" Sweet Escapade Bar, " I answered in a small voice, and later on Samantha dropped the call.
After Samantha's call, I received another call and the blood on my face drained, even more, when the caller's ID says Simoun.
I am too afraid to answer it so I just stared at it until it was gone.
"Are you okay?" I glared at the man beside me. It's his fault. It's his f*****g fault. If he didn't approach me I won't hide my phone and I won't accidentally share the video. I wanted to shout at him but doing that will make the situation even worse. If I make a scene here people will notice my presence and I might create another problem.
Instead of answering, I ignored him and waited for Samantha patiently.
It took her a few minutes to get here. I have already seen her but she couldn't see me so I texted her what I am wearing and the location of my table.
"Clean your f*****g mess Vienna," she whispered in my ear when she reached our table. I bowed my head feeling guilty for the trouble that I have caused.
"I'm sorry," I uttered.
"Tell that to the media and see if that can clear out the issue," she replied and assisted me in standing up.
"You know her Vienna?" The man asked me casually with worry in his voice.
"Just leave me alone please," I answered after he left. I felt guilty for blaming him but everything is too much for me. I needed to divert my anger to someone else because I might lose myself if I pour it all into myself.
"Fix yourself where going to see Mr. Montague," Samantha handed me a bottle of water before driving off.
The scandal that I did make me sober so I can control my actions now.
We arrived at Montague's office after an hour of driving and I thought the only person that would be here is Simoun but I was wrong because beside him is his father and his attorney I am guessing since he carries a suitcase and is formally clothed.
"I'm sorry it took us a while," Samantha apologizes before sitting. I have no idea where should I start so I chose to sit down first.
"Sign this Vienna," they handed me a piece of paper that says marriage contract.
"What do you mean by this?" I asked and lifted the paper into the air.
"Marriage contract," Simoun uttered stating the obvious.
"Yes, I know but about your proposal to Sabrina?" I asked which made him pissed.
"You should have to think about that before uploading that f*****g video!" He shouted. The veins in his neck almost popped.
"Simoun," his father warned so Simoun breathed heavily stopping himself from shouting even more.
"Simoun's proposal to Sabrina isn't a live report so I was able to stop the media from airing it. On the other hand, the video that you have uploaded has spread worldwide and I can no longer control it. The only solution that we have now is to make them think that you are married, and that thing is normal for a married couple. " Simoun's father explained.
" We can fake it right?" Simoun asked and I felt a pang on my chest when I heard the question. He hates the idea of being with me.
"No. Faking it will worsen the situation. Once they found out that it's a fake marriage there will be no solutions left," they are right so I signed the paper and passed it to Simoun after.
"I'm sorry but we can try to make this work," I told him trying to lighten up the situation.
"No." He replied and sign the paper.
Maybe I can use this chance to make him fall in love with me. There is no harm in trying.
