“Hi” I said and took a seat and started eating.
“Gem what’s the meaning of this?” father yelled
“Meaning of what?, is it a crime to come eat at my own father’s house?” I asked.
“I heard you’ll be acting with your sister……don’t act in that movie” he said…..and that crush my heart but I smiled.
“Honey don’t say that!!!” Marie said
“Yes daddy….am happy to act with sister maybe we’ll get along well” she smiled
“No….what if she has you baby we all know she’s a heartless psycho” he said again and my heart sunk to hear my own father say such words to me.
“Maids more rice please….yummy this food is good” I said but he walk up to me and push the food away and they all fall on the floor.
“Honey stop!!!” Marie cried but deep down she was happy
“Get out….you evil child…..from today I disown you…..” he said and I couldn’t hold back anymore as tears run down my face.
“Father……. .” I cried. “I won’t go…..disown….me all you want….I won’t live this house….and am not staying at the basement anymore….am moving into mom’s room today…..” I said.
“All you’ve ever brought to me in this house is bad luck….you took everything away from me….. everything I love…..” he yelled.
“No…..I didn’t…..but I promise you father…..you’ll regret all your actions some day…..” I said and ran upstairs into mom’s room.
I cried myself to sleep.
The Ray of the sun shine into mom’s room. I opened my eyes and felt safe and calm inside the room. My phone rang.
“Hello sister Ruth”
“G…..hurry out…..I’ve found your bodyguard he’s indeed a member of the IM trainees” she said and I spring up from my bed and ran out of the house.
Unknown to use he wasn’t a trainee…..he was the owner IM. I got dress like a famous celebrity and so did Ruth.
We matched into IM guards Training industry.
“Wow….Gem all eyes are on you” Ruth said
“Am not called Gem for no reason” I brag and we laughed.
“Hi Miss….how may I help you?” a man approach us.
“Take me to your most unique guards ….I need to hand pick one” I said and the man smiled.
We sat down and many handsome guards, with built muscles kept going and coming but I couldn’t find him.
“It’s that all?” I asked looking tired.
“Uhmm….yes ma….you don’t find any of your liking?” he asked.
“Are you sure this is all….?” Ruth asked again
“Yes madam” he answered.
I look out the window and saw Leon walking with Kelvin they seems to be arguing about something.
“That….yes….that guy over there…..he’s the one I need” I said and the man’s jaw almost drop.
“Uhmm…..uhm….I’ll…. I’ll talk to him….well you see he is a very special guards….he…Uhmm…only guard people he like to guard no one forces h” he man lied….that was his President and he can’t disclose his identity.
The man went to Leon and whispered something to him. He frown his face.
“Tell them am not interested….good work sir” he said and started walking away…..I saw this and ran towards him with Ruth.
“Hey…..hey wait up” I managed to catch up to him
“What again?” he asked.
“Please….can you be my bodyguard??!” I asked
“No!” he said about to walk away again but I blocked his way.
“Please…I’ll do anything to make you my guard….I just need your help” I said
“There are 946 men in this building…..go choose one” he said
“But, I want only you out of the 900” I said and he looked at me with his handsome eyes.
“Bro….don’t miss this chance” Kelvin whispered to him.
“Am sorry….miss but I can guard you” he said and walk away.
“And he is so handsome” I cried.
“Crazy…..are you looking for a guard or a husband?, don’t tell me…. You’re…..”
“I just have a little crush on him nothing more….let’s go….” I said.
It’s a new week and we are starting shooting today. When I step into the background I felt inferior. Other actor and actresses had makeup artist, etch but Ruth is my all in all. After a cheap chat with the director Ruth and I took a sit when Jolene walk up to use.
“Hi newbie!” she said “Oh you must be manager Ruth I’ve heard lots about you….” Jolene wanted to win Ruth’s heart just like others but Ruth only smile at her and nodded.
“Senior Jolene I hope we both do a great job” I said extending my hand for a handshake but she look at me in disgust.
“I don’t act with rookies like you….but I have no choice…. Know you place Gem…..and keep your distance” she said.
We started acting the first scene. Jolene acted first and I got to admit she had skills. It was my turn and the director called me and explain to me. I nodded.
“Action!!!” the manager yelled.
The scene was when I saw the male lead, save his life and fell in love with him in first sight.
“Thanks for saving me young lady….am grateful” he said. Looking straight into my eyes but shyly look away and lower my head.
“It’s nothing” I said
“Am Yona by name….and you?” he asked
“My name….I… want to be called Yona too….” I said shyly…. Looking like a 12years old. The director was pleased with my act. The next scene I have to go home and beat up Jolene my younger sister for telling my she loves Yona.
“Senior sister”
“Shut up….you slut …..I’ll kill you…..I’d make sure I cook with your flash…..” I said and bite her hands…she scream in pains “You taste good junior sister” I said and slapped her……the slap was supposed to be fake but I made it real. The director was so happy and satisfied with our work so face.
I grab Jolene on her neck.
“Look at me…..you took dad’s love and mom’s love from me….ever since you were born…..you are a curse…. A pig with no value….I could cook and eat you anytime you are my meat…my meal….I’ll eat you…..eat you hahaha….my tasty sister” I yelled….as we both lock gaze.
“Cut!!!!” the director yelled.
“Bravo…..bravo….Miss Gem wow….you are awesome” he started praising me forgetting Jolene the female lead….. Everyone praised me and I was happy.
“The way you acted it….I never wanted it to stop….you did splendid dear”.
We took a break and I was the only one left in the theater room. Before we left everything was in place.
Later Jolene’s stuffs were messed with.
“Miss Gem did you mess with our goddess stuff just because she said you’re a newbie?” Jolene’s worshipers said.
“What do you mean?” I asked as her bodyguard seize me. “Let go don’t touch me!!” I yelled “I didn’t do anything let me go”.
“Oh yes you did…..if only you have a guard they would have protect you” she said
“What’s going on here???” Ruth yelled
Then Jolene came in forging a cry, with the director.
“Miss Gem how could you?, am so disappointed” he said
“I didn’t do it I swear director am not that kind of a person, maybe it is Jolene trying to set me up”
Pah!!!!!, Jolene’s manager slapped my cheeks.
“You dare accuse a goddess for stealing???, you brat!!!” she yelled. A punch from nowhere hit on of the body guard and hit the other
“Miss are you okay?, sorry am late!!!” he said…..I look up in confusion……it was Leon.
“Who do you think you are?” Jolene manager yelled.
“Am Leon…. Appointed by MYM Industry to guard miss Gem” he said and my eyes were wide opened…………………….

CHAPTER 4
****
Body….what? I was confused
“Miss Gem….sorry am late…did anyone bully you?” he asked.
Everyone was shock….how can a handsome man who is fit to be a model or an idol be standing here as a bodyguard.
“Uhmm….uhmm….I…uh” I didn’t know what to say….I mean a bodyguard came out of nowhere……
“Let’s go Miss” he said and drag me with him.
He push me in a flashy car and drove a few distance before he stopped and handed me a file.
“Sign it….and I’d officially be your bodyguard” he said “Sign it before I change my mind”
Without thinking I signed the file. He collected it.
“So my salary is 40 thousand *******”
“What!!!!” I yelled “That’s too expensive Mr., that’s like almost my salary…..”
“Well you’ve already signed the file….so it’s too late to complain. My stuffs are in my car so……”
“Your car…..you mean this baby is your?” I asked and he nodded proudly
“Wow…..my bodyguard is quite richer than me……” I said in jealousy.
“So I was saying…..I’d be moving in with you” he said
“That okay….I live in my family house….” I said
“Let’s go first I have to freshen up….after that we’ll discuss” he said and I nodded.
When we got home. I gave him the room beside mine.
It was once my room until I was driven to live in the basement. Now am using mom’s room so I’d lend him mine.
Leon got inside the room and it was like a princess room he frown.
“I got lots to do up here” he murmured. While he was busy cleaning and arranging the room his phone rang.
“Kelvin….yes am in…..”
“You have to be careful dude… she most not know she’s out bait” Kelvin said
“Don’t worry….don’t you trust me?, now am in I’d find a way to use her well” Leon said
“It’s be much easier if she fall in love with you….how’s that?” Kelvin asked
“Sounds good” Leon replied
“But how can you make her fall?” he asked
“Ha piece of cake…..” Leon replied.
Just then a knock was heard from the door. Leon quickly put away his phone and said.
“Come in” he said and I walked in with a wide smile which disappeared when I entered the once called princess room, it now look plain and like a knight room. There was so many package boxes on the floor.
“Wow……!!” I said.
“Sorry kitten….I just did some cleaning….do you like it?” he asked
“It’s fine it’s fine” I saw and he smiled….I loved that smile….’what…what’s wrong with me?’
“So kitten…let’s talk” he said
“Huh?, kitten….are you referring to me?” I asked and he nodded
“The file you signed says I can call you any pet name if my choice” he said look innocent
“What???!!!!!!!!!, let me read that file of yours….I don’t believe you” I said and he handed me the file. I flip it open and bang……
Your body is mine
My nose almost bleed.
Etc.
I coughed and coughed, my face was red and flushed…..I look at Leon only to see him smiling innocently.
“W ..what’s this?” I asked.
