Chapter 34: The long awaited audition
The Jones' arrived immediately after they received information about their son's accident.
The pale-looking young man lay on the bed and his breathing was laboured. The doctor came in and observed his vitals for a while.
"We have successfully operated on him but we realized that he needs a blood transfusion but his blood type is not available now in our bank".
"You can take my blood", the father stepped forward.
" I'm...", he received an eye signal from Stephanie and stopped. He has been her personal doctor for four years now.
"Mr Jones you are currently not in a good state of mind and health now. Your wife will donate hers", with that he turned around and went into his office.
Stephanie hit her head mentally and gave the husband a disdainful look.
" What's with that look on your face?"
"How could you suggest doing that? You are weak already, do you want to die?"
"Our....."
"Son can be treated, we will soon find a donor. You shouldn't add to what we have on the plate already", she signed deeply and the husband moved towards her to comfort her but she avoided his outstretched hands.
"I will tell the driver to take you back. Remember the doctor said you should have enough rest and take your medications on time", she awkwardly defended her previous action.
" Okay.....", he turned round while clenching his fist.
Stephanie made sure the vehicle had moved out of the hospital before she went back to see the doctor.
"What do you mean by this?" She slapped the table in anger.
"I..... only called because I had no choice
it's a coincidence he was brought here while I was almost getting off work".
"That's not what I mean? I mean, do you want to expose me to the entire world?"
"No madam, your secret is safe with me"
"Net time, only do and say what you are told to do and say. I hate mistakes. I won't pardon you if it repeats itself".Stephanie fumed in anger.
Nodding his head in understanding, " His condition has stabilized a little bit but it's wise we carry out the blood transfusion without delay".
The door burst open and a rugged-looking man in his forties stepped in. Stephanie felt disgusted at the sight of his unkempt appearance most especially his untrimmed beards.
"Here is the person who will donate the blood"
"How is my son?"
The doctor felt stumped for a while and didn't know how to answer the question. He had always known there is a secret ever since she chose him to be her doctor. No wonder why she couldn't use the family's doctor because the doctor would be loyal to Mr Jones.
"He.... is fine but we must hurry", he called in a nurse to take care of the procedure. An hour later, Kevin's shaky breath and unstable vitals became stable.
Stephanie heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in gratitude at the certain man who had no self-awareness and was smoking in the prohibited area.
" I won't see you off, anyway thanks for today" she turned back and headed for the son's hospital room.
The man scoffed and strode out while hiding his face under a hoodie.
The miller got the news lately and they sent their daughter over to represent them.
Sandra Miller wore and simple gown and deliberately doesn't apply any makeup on her face to look pitiful.
With a fruit basket in their right hand and some sweet-smelling flowers in the left, she entered the room to meet a heartwarming scene.
Stephanie was hovering over Kevin as she made sure she arrange his sleeping materials well to avoid neck cramps when he regains consciousness.
The clearing of a throat behind her alerts her and she looked in the direction of the voice.
"Mo...Madam good evening", she greeted humbly.
Stephanie threw her a harsh glare, " Keep your voice down, his. the condition has just stabilized"
Sandra mouthed an Oh.
"Ahh.. flowers and fruits", she kept it somewhere and sheepishly rubbed her freezing hands.
" If you are done, you can leave"
Sandra was in a fixed position as she hesitated.
"You still want to stay?"
She nodded, "for what exactly? I gave you the privilege to take a walk and then you want to trek for a mile..." she gave low mocking laughter. "This... won't work, you had better get it into your rotten brain, this marriage is not one of convenience. Don't be too complacent about it".
Sandra ran out and bumped into the doctor in charge of Kevin, his purse fell and her belongings scattered.
He bent down to help her pick them up after apologizing, he was attracted to the beautiful face before him.
Before he could say something, she snatched her purse and ran away.
"Hey..... phew! Who is she?" He wondered.
Violet had her final rehearsals that day, she would be competing with others in the audition the next day. It will be live streaming.
She had decided to go with "Prisha" as her stage name.
The man knew that she found it difficult to sleep because of the upcoming audition. He moved closer to her and cuddled her from behind. Placing his chin on her shoulder he asked, "You find it hard to sleep because you feel you won't be able to make it?"
The little woman nodded and sighed.
"My woman was carefully chosen by me and I have eyes for good things. Trust me, your turn in the audition will be explosive", he placed a wet kiss on her back and the tingling sensation spread on her skin.
"You sure have eyes for good things", Violet teased him.
" I do, of course, you are a celebrity to be after tomorrow so I have something to discuss with the next big celebrity. Don't reject my dinner date tomorrow night", he said in a pleading tone as he continued to kiss her back. Her skin felt smooth, fresh and dewy. He couldn't hold old himself back and listen to her reply. Lucas invaded her warm core without a prior warning and gave her time to adjust to his abrupt Invasion.
"Ahhh.... what the hell are you doing? I have activities....."
The rest of her words were swallowed up by the man and he took his time to watch up from head to toe. Lucas didn't exert all of his strength because he knew she had activities lined up for the day. After having his fill, he pecked her on the lips and the angry woman almost dodged.
Violet felt like her body was hacked into pieces, this man's stamina is terrifying.
He dressed up for work and all she could do was watch his strong back as he wore his suit while drooling about his physique.
The man turned back and caught her heated gaze.
"I still have time, we can do some more exercises to boost your stamina", Violet shrunk in fear and dashed into the bathroom.
The two little imps were awake and were having breakfast. From the balcony, Lucas saw the beautiful sight and couldn't help feeling grateful to the woman in the room for giving him such bundles of joy.
That night produced such bright and lovely kids. He descended the stairs and met his daughter's smiling face. The little face reminded him of his woman.
He gave them warm hugs and held unto them a bit longer.
"Handsome uncle, you are a bit emotional today", he came back to his senses.
He still wondered if his daughter was still going to be 4years soon or if was she older than that.
They had resolved the issue between them and they both realized that Nathan and Natalie are their kids. The information came when she went through her mom's belongings, her mother's childhood picture was a replica of Natalie. They had nothing to refute since the truth was before them. The DNA result also gave the inference that the two kids were siblings most specifically twins. He did run an emergency DNA test and the result was released in a few hours. Violet was recognized as their birth mother and Lucas as their birth father.
He viewed to look into the case when once his treasure's audition is over and he is yet to tell her about the test results.
Violet came down not quite long and the family of four had a wonderful breakfast filled with laughter.
Lucas took her in his car and dropped her in front of Dax media headquarters and bid her farewell.
He watched her enter through the gate before he left. He had booked a resort for the weekend getaway for his family. The reunion must take place so that he can fully enjoy the warmth of his kids.
Violet's manager Miss Clemson rushed out to see her. The boss has given instructions that she shouldn't be made to get too tired.
"Miss Clemson", she greeted humbly.
For a second, her manager didn't know what to do. She was too humble for a lady whose man is Clayton's group, President. Doesn't she know how powerful and wealthy her man is? Or is she just trying to do it on a low profile just like her man?
Violet felt that Miss Clemon had something to say but was lost. She waved her hands and cleared her throat lightly.
"So sorry, I zoned out".
Violet observed that she is always cautious around her and appears to have so much weight of worries on her shoulders.
Violet took her to the coffee room and made a cup of coffee according to her taste for her.
Miss Clemson was surprised that she knew her taste so much. Giving her a double look, Violet read her mind and smiled.
"I see you found out things about me".
"Just to know who I'm dealing with", the former nodded. " I hope we can be more like friends than just an artist and a manager".
"I will try my best", Miss Clemson still looked nonchalant. Violet knew that she seemed impenetrable and her thoughts couldn't be read. The other people around them cast them curious glances because a manager is not supposed to be chit-chatting with her artist in such a manner. This new trainee is insufferably arrogant.
The day went uneventful except for Sandra instigating other trainees to attack her verbally. Violet noticed that most of the trainees are absent, which means they won't be participating in the audition.
Fortunately or unfortunately Sandra was still there to torment her life. Let's say she has a sure hacker because her singing and dancing skills were mediocre.
Her costumes were already in place, all she had to do was make herself available on time before the audition.
Lucas had made sure all the employees and their relatives got a ticket to all the theatres under Clayton's group. They had to support his treasure, of course, that was a second option if the public opinion doesn't favour Violet. He would make sure she stays under his wings at Dax media.
The long-awaited night of Dax's audition came.
Lucas made sure all preparations for the event to proceed without a hitch were made. Backstage, her custom was custom made with her stage name in It. The glittering silver jumpsuit clung to her body and brought out her curves. She would have to make an appearance thrice hence three different outfits were prepared.
Miss Clemson massaged her shoulders and told her to relax her mind.
" You can do it. Please get rid of that fear and chant the mantra in your mind. Just maintain a positive mindset", she squeezed her hands.
The audition started while streaming online. Each of the contestants was shown on screen right from their dressing room.
"Here comes another contestant for tonight's audition, Prisha", Violet blew a kiss and batted her doll-like eyelashes Her violet-tinted hair tumbled in waves as she swung her hands in the air to cheer up the viewers.
