Bab 4: The Awards(3)
Viona smiled again. "Let me ask you something, Revan. During our relationship, have I ever lied or been caught lying?" Viona asked, not caring about the emotional state of the man she used to love.
"Never, right?" Viona continued when Revan remained silent. "And how many times have other women been caught lying by you? Not by others, but by me, the agency, or the fans? Too many times, right?" Viona said, tapping her fingers on the lectern.
"And do you think I'm lying now when I say that Viona is not a dishonest woman? Tsk tsk tsk. I now understand the meaning of the saying that love is blind. You refuse to see the facts right in front of your face. Let's see, shall we?"
"Viona, stop... please... enough," Queena pleaded.
Viona cleared her throat, "Do you want me to stop?" she asked, leaving the decision to the audience who were eagerly awaiting more.
"JUST GO ON, VIONA! EXPOSE ALL THEIR EVIL SO THEY WILL BE AFRAID AND THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE VICTIMS!!" yelled one of the artists sitting further back. Many agreed with this statement, making it clear that the majority of the audience wanted Viona to explain further.
Viona extended her hands like a villain and grinned, "You hear them, Queena. And who am I to deny their little request?" she said with a playful laugh.
"Let's see... your first relationship ever... when you were still a teenager, you had an illicit relationship with a dance instructor. Too bad you never told me about it, but instead kept it to yourself and made the instructor confess in public. Then, not long after, you started dating a senior drama club member, what was his name? Zachariah something? And..." Viona counted on her fingers one by one with a concentrated expression. "I can't even count how many people... you know, during our high school years. Then high school, and college. And of course, when you started working. I remember your first job in the entertainment industry, Queena. And even though you kept it a secret, I knew about it," Viona continued, shaking her head with an expression of disbelief.
"And you're mad that I referred to your lover as not being a good woman?" Viona said, looking at Revan, who seemed like he would faint at any moment. "Ah... you never knew, huh?" Viona realized. "Doesn't that make you wonder how many more secrets my former best friend is keeping? And how many secrets I've kept from you? None, right? YET... you still chose her over me!"
The room fell into a tense silence. The same went for the viewers watching at home or wherever they were tuning in from. They were still trying to digest Viona's bombastic words.
"It hurts, Rev," Viona whispered with a wounded tone. Tears of sadness finally flowed down her face, allowing the world to see how vulnerable Viona was at this moment. A few seconds later, she took a deep breath and flung the engagement ring at Revan's face. "But I am glad it's over," she concluded with a smirk.
She then signaled the music team to play an old song that came out in 2022. A song created by Taylor Swift titled "Vigilante Sh*t." A song she felt was very fitting for her current situation.
Draw the cat eye, sharp enough to kill a man...
You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them...
Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie...
They say looks can kill, and I might try...
I don't dress for women, I don't dress for men...
Lately I've been dressing for revenge...
The audience looked amused, understanding why Viona chose a song that came out decades ago.
Viona held her microphone and gracefully approached the table where the two people who had broken her heart were sitting.
I don't start it, but I can tell you how it ends...
Don't get sad, get even...
So on the weekends I don't dress for friends...
Lately I've been dressing for revenge...
Viona sang the song while staring intensely at Revan, who looked like he might faint at any moment.
Viona let the music fill the silent room and didn't sing a certain part that she felt had no relevance. She let the choir sing that part.
She don't start it, but she can tell you how it ends...
Don't get sad, get even...
So on the weekends...
She don't dress for friends...
Lately she's been dressing for revenge...
This time, Viona sang those lyrics right in front of Queena. Her icy gaze succeeded in making the teary woman even more embarrassed. Unfortunately, they couldn't leave the room before the event officially ended.
Ladies always rise above...
Ladies know what people want...
Someone sweet and kind and fun...
The lady simply had enough...
Viona returned to the stage. She smiled at the audience and then gave Revan a threatening look.
While he was doing lines...
And crossing all of mine...
Someone told his white-collar crimes to the FBI...
And I don't dress for villains...
Or for innocents...
I'm on my vigilante sh*t again...
For a moment, only the sound of music could be heard. The hosts, who had started the event, returned to the stage and thanked the audience for coming. Then they invited the invited guests to leave the room one by one.
I don't start it, but I can tell you how it ends...
Don't get sad, get even...
So on the weekends...
I don't dress for friends...
Lately I've been dressing for revenge...
Viona closed the song, leaving a menacing look at some of the artist assistants from her agency. She challenged them to do something she didn't want. The assistants immediately approached their respective artists and left the room.
Viona then closed her eyes, stopping the live stream and spreading the promised data.
Suddenly, the internet was filled with photos and videos of Revan and Viona in intimate but still appropriate moments. There were also documentation of the engagement event between Revan and Viona, attended by people from their agency. Additionally, there were videos of Revan's intimacy with Queena during the just-concluded Grammy event.
Viona walked outside to the waiting agency-provided car without waiting for the driver to open the door. With her eyes closed, she felt how messy her physical and emotional conditions were just because of a kissing scene.
