THE STORY AS JUST BEGAN…..
CHAPTER 2
IN SEARCH OF A BODYGUARD
I woke up the next morning feeling sour all over. I hold my head because it look like it will soon fall off.
“Awwwww” I cried rubbing my temple.
“Having hangover? Here take this” Ruth said handing me some drugs.
“Get it out of my face .. I don’t eat drugs….I’ll be fine. Where am I?” I asked lying down again
“My house….you where too drug last night you even put an innocent guy in trouble”
“What!?.....did I…..” just then I heard a voice in my head “prince don’t leave me…. Prince you’re mean”. ‘Wait wait wait whose voice is that?, it sounds like mine and…. ‘ I finally remembered as I jump off the bed and landed on the floor holding my head.
“Am dead….oh no Gem you’ve done another thing” I cried rubbing my legs on the floor like a little child.
“It’s okay thanks God he was a gentleman” Ruth said
“We have to find him….let me personally apologize” I said
“He doesn’t seem like he want to meet you again….I told him we’ll like to apologize properly in the future but he said he doesn’t want to see us again”.
“awk…good good” I said and climb the bed again “And schedule for me today?”
“No…no you’ll just be rehearsing your script with me….will wait until the agencies what to meet the role takers” she said. “Uhmm….Gem about Jolene why don’t you want people to know she’s your adoptive sister?” asked Ruth
“How did you know?” I asked
“You kind of told me everything last night when you were drunk” she said
“Keep this a secret…and now that you know about my deepest secret…. Please don’t betray me” I said
“I swear with my life….and I want us to be close too trust me Gem. I’ll be of much help to you” Ruth said
I look at her and I could see the sincerity in her I nodded. “Then can I call you sister Ruth?” I asked. Ruth was a little older than me.
“Ok…..”
Leon was in his office. One thing about IM Industry the artist are strictly warn to keep matters in the company a secret.
Everyone fear and respect Leon.
Leon’s fiancée left him two years ago, she just left him a note which says ‘am going abroad to study’, nothing more. Leon waited for her to call but she didn’t. These two years Leon focus on work to forget her. But deep down he still care and love her.
Leon was not only the mighty king of entertainment he owns his family bodyguard hiring company. His eldest brother Leonard was the President of the country and his second brother was controlling the family company.
“Boss….” A man came in and Leon stood up and follow him.
He sat down and rested his back. Putting his full attention on the big screen.
“RMH is the movie new name. How I see it, lots of viewers are addicted to the movie. And it’s all about the actress Jolene” he paused
“Investing on this movie might bring much future to use and Arial is the male lead” said another man Arial is the famous male actor in IM Industry.
“Ok let’s see how it goes….it think about it….but mean while don’t bother me” he said.
Leon left the office. Today he wasn’t driving. He sat at the back of the car resting his head when his phone rang.
“Hello…..”
“Prince….busy today?” Kelvin his best friend tease him
“Go to hell am tired” Leon said.
“Let’s go have a drink today” Kelvin said
“Ok….am not just in a good mood” Leon end the call.
Jolene walking into her mother’s room.
“Mom….this is bad….now things are going well for me that witch is here again” she groan.
“What??, princess calm down” she asked and Jolene handed her some paper.
Marie read through and saw Gem’s name on the list.
“This witch” she cursed.
“Mom she’ll ruin everything” she cried
“No….just don’t interfere.. people don’t know she’s your half sister and am sure she will keep a low profile but….I have a plan….I’ll call black…let them disfigure her….that will drew her back from acting”.
“Hello black….”
“Madam any problem?” the thick voice asked
“I told you to handle that girl before but you failed. Don’t fail me this time….”
“What do you want me to do this time?” he asked
“Beat her up to the point of death…. “ she said
“Done and dusted madam”
“Sister Ruth let’s go grab a soft drink…. We’ve been home since morning am bored….” I groan
“No you’ll drink again” she said “as your manager it’s my responsibility to take care of you”
“I promise not to drink” I said and she sigh in defeat.
We go to the bar…..it was not so noisy. We grab some fruit drink and started drinking and talking about my script.
“Are you sure you’ll be able to handle your sister….I mean act with her?” Ruth asked.
“Don’t worry she’s a price of cake” I smiled
At the other side of the table.
“Leon come on what’s with the sour face?” Kelvin asked
“Am just not happy Kelv” he said
“Why? Was it because of yesterday?” he asked
“No….am not just in a good mood end of discussion”
I was drink happily with Ruth when a man grab my hands and force me to himself.
“Bae come have fun with me” he said. I got so irritated and yelled as I push in away
“Get your filthy hands off me”
“You b***h…..” he roar and push me. I landed on Leon’s table and groan in pains.
“If you’re a slut act like one” he said and grab me. I look up at Leon and cried
“Help me”.
“Kelv. Don’t stop me” Leon said and Kelvin nodded.
Leon grab the man and punch him. He started fighting them. He was out number but he defeated them all.
He ran up to me and said “Let’s go”……………………….

CHAPTER 3
After walking out of the bar I was still in daze.
“It’s you?” Leon said.
“Do….do you know me?” I asked.
“Oh ..it’s the guy from yesterday!” Ruth whispered to me.
“Let’s go Kelvin” Leon said walking away in haste.
“No wait please….” I ran in front of him blocking his way.
“Move…..” he said
“No please…..I….I need your help” I said
“Sorry I don’t have help to render” he said coldly about to walk away again but I grab his arms
“I’ll pay you any amount….all you have to do is…is to be my BODYGUARD!!!” I said.
“What????!!!” Kelvin yelled
“I….I’m the true heiress of the J corp. industry….and my stepmom is trying to kill me. Please……” I said but he didn’t spare me another glance as he push my arms away and left in a taxi.
The other guy looked at me and could only smile and walk away.
Leon got home and took of his clothes and entered the shower. He was done bathing when Kelvin came in.
“Dude…..what do you think about it?” he asked
“About?” Leon asked
“The girls offer…..Leon J corp. and IM have been business enemies for decades…..I think this is an opportunity to take revenge” Kelv said
“Bro I don’t get you” Leon said paying attention to him.
“Look no body knows you are the third some of the IM. If you get close to her you can get access to the J corp.”
“Are you saying I should use her?” Leon asked.
“Well if that’s the case yes….be her bodyguard and …..and you know”
“Kelv just shut up” Leon said
“Leon do you know what he did to your father?, dude…..”
“Kelv I said shut the f**k up” he yelled
“Think about it…..am off” Kelvin said leaving Leon in daze.
“Gem why did you ask him that out of the blue…..you haven’t even thanked him yet?” asked Ruth.
“Sister Ruth….am scared….am really scared…..she won’t stop until I die. And….and this is the first time somebody have…. Have ever stood up and fight for me….” I said crying
“It’s okay…..with his moves am sure he’s an IM trained bodyguard…..let’s go there tomorrow maybe we will find in…..that apart…..your shooting starts next week…hope you are ready?” she asked and I nodded.
“Sister Ruth thanks a lot….I’ll be going home today” I said
“No I can’t let you go to that house today!!” she yelled
“It’s okay….am going there to do something important I’ll be fine” I said and she sigh.
When I go home I took a deep breath as usual and entered the house. The family of three were busy eating and celebrating….when I was almost kill today. I do know that Dad doesn’t care about me at all but no matter how heard I try….it’s still hurt my heart a lot….
I walked in and immediately Marie saw me she choked and Jolene crush her fork on her hands but faked a smile.
