[ONE MONTH LATER]
ASHLY POV
The time run so fast and another month passed.

"Okay, Let's take a break first." The photographer said.
I went to my chair and take a sip of my juice
"This is your second mv poster and its trending worlwide. The #AshlydelaCruz - rank #1st, #Ashly's_FirstMV - rank #5th and
#AnotherSong_fromAshly - rank #18th. In twitter #Superstar_Ashly is #2nd in trending. You are paving the way girl!" She said "By the way, the director came to me yesterday. Get ready your self cause we are going to film you Mv soon after the third MV poster."
I nodded "Good thing. Hmm, aside from the photoshoot, do I have anything in schedule?"
"Your schedule is fully packed. Pres-con, One-On-One interview and guesting."

"Good." 'I can keep my self busy'.
One week after Quintin and Maeve wedding, I bought a new condo here in Pasig. Just to be close to where I work. I don't go home to my old condo anymore, if I do go home I'll just pick up something and leave right away. I heard, Kaiden went home to Palawan to cool down.
"Are you okay?" My manager said "You look stressed."
I shook my head "I'm okay."

"Tomorrow is the picturial for the 3rd MV poster, then, you will be guesting in a talk show."
"Okay, I got it. Should we start again?"
"Okay, Let's continue the picturial!" The photographer said to the crew
I went to the middle and gave a different pose and sometimes the photographer guide me what pose to do.
"Wow. Look at this," the photographer said. I approach him. My manager also approach him "the picture is so good and the model did great."
"Its because you are a great photographer." I said and smile "Is that all for today?"
The photographer nodded "Yeah, that's all for today. Let's see each other tomorrow for the 3rd picturial."
After we bid farewell to the crew, I hop in the van.
"In my condo, Mr."
"Okay."
After I reach my condo, I open the ref.
"So what do we have here? Cornbeef? Eggs?"
I put the contents of coorbeef can in the bowl then I turned on the stove and put the pan on, when the pan is already hot, I put oil on it.
When the oil was also hot, I added the cornbeef.
"So fragrant." I said as the cornbeer was slightly cooked. I beat 2 eggs and added it to the pan then I mix it so that the eggs will also be cooked. I added salt, magi magic sarap and vitcin.
I already prepared hot rice after cooking the cornbeef with eggs. I only learned to cook that when Kaiden cooked for me one time, he teach me to cook this one.
I just couldn't help but feel sad. 'How is he now? I hope he will be okay soon.'
I sat down and started eating.
I am currently checking my schedule when my cellphone rings one after another.
Three from Maeve, one from Quintin and 9+ from Kaiden.
I was surprise, what is Kaiden's trip that he send lots of texts?
I looked at it but it was just 'Kaiden unsent a message'
I type 'What is your fvcking trip?' then send it.
Then I send a series of three dots (...) then unsent it afterwards. I laugh when he sends an annoyed face emoji.
AshlyDCruz: "Are you feeling better now?"
AshlyDCruz: "I guess so, you are already pestering me."
Kaiden_Bautista: "Haha so fuuUunny:)."
Kaiden_Bautista: "Why? You miss me?"
I laugh.
AshlyDCruz: "I can believe how thick is your face."
But deep down I really miss him.
He is still in Palawan and he does not yet know when he will return to Manila when I remember I had a photoshoot tomorrow, I told him I was going to sleep and will continue our topics when I have enough time.
"TONIGHT, we have a very special guest! Can you guess who?" the host said
I just finish the third poster earlier and now I am going to be a guest in a evening talk show.
"Our rising superstar, Ashly dela Cruz!"
I smile and I went in.
"Hello." I said as I wake my hands to the host
"Its an honor to have you here Ms. dela Cruz. She's so pretty aren't she?"
I sit in the chair oposite to the host. "You look stunning too." I look at the camera and greeted the viewers "Hello everyone, good evening. Its nice to be here."
A few minutes later, she started asking me question like; When did your singing career start?, How did you became a singer under Gabbi?, Or how did you discover Sony Music PH?
My post along side with Kaiden's post showed up in the big screen "This post is trending last month along side with this post, you said in your post that this two is going to get married but according to the insider that he is not the expected groom, what happen?"
I look at Gabbi who was also confused. My face went blank "No comment about that."
"Did you just upload that post because you want to hide the truth that he is your boyfriend? Why bother hiding, I think you two are mat--"
"Cut! The ads!" The director said "What's wrong with you ah?! That's not the questions!"
"Sorry Direct."
"All of the scripted questions have already been asked. Let's end this show." Gabbi said to the director and as an answer the director nodded.
When we are already going home, my manager spoke
"I can't believe that she have guts to question you that! They are making fake rumors. The crew already erase that part. Thanks god!"
I also don't know what's wrong with that woman! They are bringing that issue up! I bet someone paid them to add those questions to make me embarassed in front of millions of viewers.
'Its a long day, Ash.'
"CUT!"
"What's the problem, direct?" Gabbi said when he approach the director. He suddenly said 'Cut' when we are in the middle of filming for my MV. I am already irritated with my MV's male lead, he's pervert. I always catch him looking at my cleavage, he also often to smirk at me. Everytime he touch my arms it will make my body hair rises. He's a creep! If we are not in the set, I will already beat him up for being a pervert!
"What's wrong with those hands?! You put your hands in a wrong place Derick!"
"I am sorry Direct."
"Let's film this part again!"
After few more days, the MV filming is already done and ready to be uploaded. Editings, adjustings, re-filming, ettcc are already done.
I look at the time on my phone when that pervert man (MV's male lead) appeared in the front of me.
"I am waiting for you at the back of the building." He said and walk away
I smirked 'Back of the building huh?'
I went to the dressing room and got change.
HE smirked as he saw me approaching him "You came?"
"No, I didn't. This is just my soul."
He laugh "It's true that you are rude. It's a pity you have a beautiful face but you don't have manners."
"Well my manners are only for those people who have also manners, people like you? You're. not. worthy.!"
He came even closer to me "You are brave but you have'nt learned anything in this industry yet."
I crossed my arms "So, what are you upto?"
He whisper into my ears and puts his one hand on my ass "Come to my condo later... we have been in stress lately, let's *ugh* relax ourselves."
I laugh and grabbed his d*ck and squeezed it.
"Ahhhh!!" He cried out in pain
I let go of it and quikly gets the alcohol in my bag "Its harassment, I can file a case againts you." I look at him and smirked "You know, I have been observing you too lately. You keep looking at me, am I that way tooo hot?"
"You can't file any case on me! You don't have any evidenc--!"
"Oh really? Well I have been filming you ever since."
When I said that a woman came out from hinding, holding a phone recording
"You--!"
"I am not the person who just let things passed by. Harassing me, is your biggest mistake." I said and left. The woman who record it also left.
[FLASHBACK]
When a staff pass by I quikly call her
"Yes, Ms. Ashly? Do you need or want anything?" She said when she enter the dressing room
"Can I have favor?"
I smile as she nodded.
I told her to follow me in a distance then start filming when we reach at the back of the building.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
Actually, I was just betting that he would do that. I can't just say a word that he was harassing me they can make the story upside-down, I need evidence.
I went straight to the van and ask Mr. Driver to take me to my condo.
I was already lying on my bed and looking at my ceiling.
Maeve and I still haven't communicate. I lost my phone 4 days ago, I think I dropped it somewhere so I just bought a new one yesterday.
"How many messages does that phone already receive from Maeve hm..?"
I get my phone from side table and went to mu contacts. I am good at memorizing so all of my friends numbers are here.
*/typing*
Ash: "Hey, this is my new number save it and... uhm gave this number to Maeve too. I bet that old phone exploded because of the numbers of messages she texted."
It takes few minutes before I got his reply.
Senior Quint: "I though you are a fraud! Ha Ha Ha! What happen to your old phone?"
Ash: "Nah, I lost it somewhere, fvck!"
Senior Quint: "Its because you are dumb."
Ash: "%@_'%@%%×!! Change topic!"
Ash: "How's Maeve? How's the baby? Its already very big right?"
*/Senior Quint replied to your message* : "Yeah. Her belly is already obvious."
Ash: "Don't stress her!"
Senior Quint: "You are the one who is stressing her! Don't blame it to me!"
Ash: "Pass my apology to her. Don't worry, I will make up to her soon."
Ash: "Gotta go to go now. I am so tired."
Then I didn't send him another text and went to the bathroom and look at the mirror.
My evil self is playing in my head! Gosh!!
'What do you mean you are going to make up to her? Why are you so dumb!? She irritate you! She doesn't trust you at all.'
"She's my friend! Whatever you would say, she still my bestfriend and besides she is pregnant. I know she is already stress because of her the marriage and the baby on her belly." I blew out air "I know she's been bad when she spoke those things and it hurt my feelings but she is still my bestfriend no matter what."
