For The Stars Have Sinned

I never told Levi about my strange experience with the janitor. I also don’t want him to know and worry. Rather, I decided to avoid that recording studio when I’m going to record my song in the future.

That’s why last Sunday, I recorded a song in the studio located at Mandaue.

Levi accompanied me and unfortunately, we were spotted by his fans which caused a little commotion at the entrace. Good thing the security guards of the said studio acted quickly. I kept wondering if it was right for him to go accompany me?

“Don’t worry. People will love your voice,” Levi said when he noticed that I was hesitating.

I bit my lip hard. The management just released my debut song as a solo artist under ANEW Entertainment Group. There was a lot of pressure on my part because of my viral video with Vine. Fans already know that I am a solo artist so they look forward to the release of my song because they want to compare my voice to Nicole’s voice.

There was even talk on social media that I was picked up by the management.

I shook my head. “I don’t think so. I’m not as good as you, Levi.”

He stopped the car opposite the Waterfront. He turned to me and

smile “I just know. Your debut song will rock the industry.” He leaned closer to me. “They will love your songs, trust me.”

I smiled. “Thank you.”

He even gave me a light kiss on the lips before leaving. I got out of the car.

“You look gorgeous tonight, baby,” he said.

I laughed softly and smiled sweetly at him. “You too, handsome.”

Levi gave the key to the hotel crew and we entered the luxurious hotel together. Security greeted us and a woman ushered us to the function hall. The man standing at the entrance opened the door for us.

Hard metal music tickled my ears upon entering the function hall. The disco lights were on, and there were single tables spread out. There was no chairs however. The function hall was full of people and almost everyone present wore formal suits and dresses.

Back then, I was uncomfortable wearing revealing dresses but after I signed the contract and mingled with some of the famous personalities, it was like my eyes got used to obscene things.

Levi grabbed me by the waist and I let him lead me on. I noticed guys gawking at me and I felt the aura coming out of Levi turned dangerous. A smile plastered on my lips and I caressed the back of his palm.

We slipped through the dancing crowd. Levi took me to a less crowded part of the function hall. He said that it was already reserved for both of us.

“Where’s Vine?” I asked and halted in front of a single table.

Levi’s hand slipped to my shoulder. “They will be here after an hour.”

“With Nicole?”

“Mmm…”

He called the waiter. He took two wine glasses from the utility tray the stranger was carrying and handed one to me.

“For a successful career,” said Levi then raised the wine glass.

I also raised mine and smiled at him before taking a sip of wine. I looked around. I could see a lot of familiar faces from biggest stars in showbiz down to low ranking Radio hosts. They were all here. I never knew that they participate in secret parties.

Since there was no seat, we were still standing, leaning on the edge of the table. Levi leaned close to me and I was surprised when his finger crawled up my thigh. I jumped a little in shock and he laughed.

I glared at him. “Stop it. Let’s enjoy the party, okay?”

He grinned and took a sip of wine while staring at my lips. Both of my cheeks warmed up at his heated gaze. He seemed like a starving predator eyeing his prey.

“Levitus Yushen!” someone called his name.

We looked at the man who was approaching our direction wearing a big smile on his lips. He is the famous male artist in a network and currently has the biggest fandom in the whole country.

“Rei,” Levi greeted.

Rei laughed and stood in front of me. He gave Levi a high five before turning his gaze to me. “Your girlfriend?” he asked.

“Yes.”

A smile spread across Rei’s lips and he held out his hand in front of me. “I’m Rei. What’s your name, Miss?”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked at Levi for a moment before accepting Rei’s hand. “Rishel,” I replied sparingly.

I was just surprised when he pulled my hand and kissed the back of my palm while looking directly into my eyes. The edge of his lips curled up. “Nice to meet you, Miss Rishel.”

I don’t know why the hair on the back of my neck suddenly stood up. I immediately took my hand back and tried to smile at Rei. “Likewise.”

Rei smiled as if he read my discomfort so he brought his face closer to mine. “Wow, you look pretty,” he said with a wide smile and winked at me.

I don’t know if he really means it or not, but I am sure of one thing — this man is dangerous. The way he smile, talk, and wink at me… it’s disturbing.

I looked at Levi but he was looking at someone else. When I followed his gaze, I realized he was staring at Nicole who was happily talking to a famous tv host.

My lips pursed into a line as I erased the bitterness in my heart. “Levi,” I called him softly.

Only then did he look at me. He smiled but that didn’t clear my suspicion of him. He said he didn’t have feelings for Nicole but since we became a couple, he will always have different demeanor whenever Nicole is around.

Rei seemed to notice my doubts so he laughed and brought his lips close to my ear and whispered. “A man’s loyalty is hard to keep.”

I glared at Rei but he just laughed and winked at me before saying goodbye to Levi.
