A WEEK LATER, QUINCY'S MANSION**

Kimberly took Quincy's food to her room as usual.

She's been eating in her room since it happened, she's never left her room.

Bae and Izzy nearly blindsided her with calls last week asking if she had heard of her, but she had to keep lying that she hadn't.

It has become a professional haunt cos of Quincy.

She entered the bedroom and put the food test on the bed.

"Quincy, your meal is here, I told the maids to make the tuna very spicy, just the way you like it," she said.

Quincy sat up on the bed, she's better than a week ago.

“Should I feed you? Kimberly asked, stroking her hair.

"No, I'll help myself," she replied and picked up the fork.

Kimberly opened the meal and Quincy smiled.

"Promise me you'll finish it all," Kimberly said.

"I can't" she answered and started to eat.

Kimberly checked her phone and sighed.

“Is it still trendy? Quincy asked.

"Yes" Kimberly answered sadly.

"Guess I won't be able to come out as Riri for a long time," Quincy replied.

"You can just kill Riri now, stop living two lives and live like yourself" Kimberly replied and Quincy sighed.

"So leave Izzy and whoever's been nice to me?, I have Bae as a friend like Quincy but I only have Izzy as a friend when I'm Riri, I can't give up like this, and there's someone one that i really have to thank Riri he warned me so much and even got hurt because of it but i was so stupid he saved me a lot of times too i have to thank him.. ..and besides, Reece....I have to punish him as Quincy, he loves Quincy but humiliated Riri, that's stupid of him," she smiled.

"So… how are you going to punish him?, are you going to get him to confess and record and post online like he did for you?" asked Kimberley.

"It doesn't make sense, I've been humiliated because I'm lower class, confessing to a celebrity...but if I do the same to her, people will think it's cute because we're both celebrities, don't worry I have my ways, I'll make him regret doing this to me for no reason," Quincy said and continued eating.

"So...will you be attending Maybelline again as Riri?" asked Kimberley.

"Looks like I'm going back to school on Monday, I'm taking care of everything, whatever happens has to happen" she replied.

"So, are you going to keep looking for eternal love?" Kimberly asked and Quincy looked at her with a slow smile.

"Love?, Love is like fiction...it's fantasy, it's surreal, it doesn't exist, love is fake, I believe there is something called love, everybody gets it wrong," Quincy replied.

"But Quincy...

Kimberly was interrupted when Quincy's phone rang.

Reece blinked on the screen and Quincy smiled.

"I think I'm taking over the game right now," she said as she took the call.

ALEJANDRO'S HOUSE**

REECE'S ROOM**

Words can't describe how happy he was when Quincy took his call, cleared his throat and smiled.

"Hey" he said.

"Reece?, I came to your mind again after two long weeks, you decided to call back," she replied.

"I'm sorry just for that… I was busy these weeks, I'm really sorry, are you mad at me?" He asked.

"No, it was just sad," she replied.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"It's good"

"What are you doing now?" He asked.

"In my bedroom, on my bed, a bastard ruined me last week, I hope another bastard won't ruin me this week," she replied.

“Who is this bastard, is he out of his mind?, how could anyone ruin your week?” he replied.

"He really is a psychopath, isn't he?" She answered.

"Total psychopath, I wish I could meet him and make him pay, that pissed me off," he replied and she laughed.

"I heard about SHAMELESS RIRI's voice note, how could she tell you? I mean...she's so ugly and classless," she said.

"I'm handsome, maybe she couldn't hold back, but I already taught her a lesson, posting the voice note was the funniest thing I've ever done," he said. he replied.

"So you posted it?, how funny," she replied.

"I did it, I created the anonymous account and I posted with it even though I had to deny it because of some fans, I posted it," he replied.

"I like bad guys," she replied.

" Really ? I like curvy girls too,” he replied and they both laughed.

" So... Do you have a shoot scheduled for next week? " he asked.

"Next Week?, Just One"

"So can we... Go out for dinner?" He asked.

She stopped talking for a moment and he held his breath.

"Good" she answered and he released his breath.

" Yes! "

“Are you so happy? She chuckled.

"Of course I'm going on a date with Quincy, I should be more than happy," he replied.

"So... good night," she replied.

"Good night, sleep like a baby, I'll call you often" he replied and she hung up.

Reece threw his phone on the table and jumped on the bed.

"Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!" He screamed so loud.

Hanna walked in and found him jumping around, acting like crazy.

"Hey whats up?" she asked curiously.

He managed to calm himself down and walked over to her.

"eomma (mom)" he says.

"adeul (son)" she answered.

"I'm going on a date with Quincy Norbert next week," he said and his eyes widened.

"Quincy Norbert the popular Korean-Australian model?"

"Of course mom, maybe I'll have a girlfriend soon, you always wanted me to have a girl, it's finally happening," he said.

"I can't wait too, she's the stepdaughter of my dreams, she's not only rich but classy, beautiful, voluptuous and expensive!, Should I start telling people that I'm already the stepmom of Quincy Norbert?" She answered.

"I will soon mum" he replied and they hugged.

Passing Reece's room, Genova heard everything.

He walked to the rehearsal room and picked up the guitar, he entered the booth and stood in front of the standing microphone.

He played the intro on the guitar then started singing

I can't believe you're mine

Completely my daughter

I want to stay in our flower garden with you

chasing butterflies in the morning

Chasing fireflies at night.

My morning and my evening, I want it to contain you and only you.

When I wake up in the morning, greet my lips with yours.

Beautify my morning with your smiles.

Make my night magical with your silent moans.

Your hands on my face, mine on your waist.

Let's kiss deep, make it fun....let's do some magic.

There is magic in your smile, healing in your laughter, our kisses bring us closer.

Don't go far, stay by my side...let's kiss, let's kiss....cover my lips with yours...

Let's kiss oh baby yeah.

He finished the first verse and opened his eyes.

When his eyes were closed, Riri was in his imagination so he decided to sing the second verse with his eyes open.

When the candles burn slowly at night.

Let's create sweet and lasting memories

When it's freezing cold, let's be each other's warmth

When the stars come out at night

Let's put our fingers together and make wishes.

Then seal it with a kiss.

Let's kiss deep, make it fun....let's do some magic.

There is magic in your smile, healing in your laughter, our kisses bring us closer.

Don't go far, stay by my side...let's kiss, let's kiss....cover my lips with yours...

Let's kiss oh baby yeah.

He finished and sighed because it didn't work.

Right in front of him, he looks at Riri, smiling at her.

He dropped the guitar and walked out of the booth, taking gentle steps towards her.

As soon as he reached her, she disappeared with the air.

"Oh I'm still hallucinating, I'm still imagining things..." he said and sat down.

"She hasn't been to school for a week and no news of suicide anywhere? Where is she hiding?" He was thinking.

His suspicions returned to play and he stood up.

"Could she really be Quincy?" He thought and picked up his phone.

He went to her page and saw the photos she posted the day she arrived in Korea.

She landed four weeks ago on Friday, ... Riri came to Maybelline on the Monday of the following week.

Kimberly is Riri's guardian and at the same time Quincy's manager.

But she addressed Riri as Quincy.

Does she really dress up?

What reason will she have to dress up?

Absolutely none...

He was wearing his headphones, deciding not to think about it anymore but it was all useless, Huey and Quincy, the two faces flooded his head.

He took off his headphones and smiled.

"Okay before I go crazy, I better handle this" he thought.

Then he remembered when he had rescued her from the pool and saw how much she looked like someone else.

Now that he's imagined someone else's face, it really is Quincy!

"Is it really her?" He was thinking.

"I need to be safer, I think I'm already president in Craig's world, the world of minding other people's business, I need to stalk Riri but she's not even coming to school. .aish!" he said and fell back on the chair.

THE MANOIR DU KANG**

Polly is sitting on the couch watching Quincy Norbert's walking videos on her page.

"Another photoshoot next week, Wimo studios, I'll be there and this time I have to make sure I get a selfie" she smiles.

Her eyes widened as she received a notification... SUGAR BOYS Fan Signing Event!

Next week Friday!!

"Wow! I can't wait!"

"Did you take my new top out of my closet?" Molly said as she entered the living room.

Polly ignored him and continued pressing her phone.

"I'm asking you if you took my new to out of my closet!" Molly shouted.

Polly continued to ignore her and Molly picked up her phone.

She crushed him to the floor and Polly stood up.

"Did my phone smash on the floor?" She smiled looking at him.

"My new top! Give it back!" Molly cried.

"Before I decide what kind of death you will experience, I will be kind enough to tell you that I have not entered your room, I have never entered your room, I know what it is like because I hate the owner so there's no reason to come in, tell me how am I going to take your fucking top without going into your room!" Polly yelled back.

"It's your brand, you could just steal it," Molly replied.

"Fly?, we get the same allowance from dad every month and I'm a model, I earn my money too!" Polly yelled back.

"Dad said you stopped taking benefits from him since mum died two years ago!" You could go broke and steal my top! Molly said.

"Oh, so your lawyer told you I stopped touching him, you're right, I'm currently broke but I'd rather die than walk into your room" Polly replied.

"I know you took it so give it back!, give me back the top!" Molly screamed.

"I didn't take your top!!!" Polly yelled back.

Molly ran upstairs to Polly's room angrily.

Polly followed her and when they arrived, Molly opened her closet and started throwing all her clothes away, looking for the top.

Polly crossed her arms under her breasts, leaning against the wall and waiting when she was done.

"Young lady, I packed it by mistake with your clothes that I washed yesterday," said a maid as she walked in with the top.

Molly stopped and walked over to the maid, she snatched it from her and slapped her.

"You have it and you let me search blindly...fool!" She screamed.

Polly smiled.

"So should we now talk about what kind of death you're going to have?" She says

"Never mind," Molly said and Polly stormed out of the room.

She went straight to the kitchen and took a knife.

"Molly, you'll get a taste of my personality today," she mumbled and ran out of the kitchen.

"Young Miss Polly!" »

"Young lady!"

The maids called her as she ran up the stairs but she did not answer.

"Moli!!" She screamed after her.

Molly turned around and her eyes widened when she saw the knife.

"Don't come any closer!!!" She screamed.

Polly took one last step towards her and tried to stab her in the chest but all the maids held her tight.

"Let go of me you idiots!, let me go, she must die!!, leave me alone!!" She screamed loudly.

Molly was taken to her room and her door was locked before Polly was freed, but she went straight for the extra key.

"I've never been in your room but too bad today is my first and last because I'm going to kill you Molly!" She said, inserting the key, she turned it but Molly luckily locked it from behind with the extra lock.

"Bitch!, Why don't you wait!, Wait and let me end your existence and listen!.... If you're seen anywhere around Genny, I'll murder you useless girl of a criminal !" she cried, breathing heavily as she left her doorstep.

All the servants have hidden themselves so that she does not vent her anger on anyone.

Polly came downstairs and when she saw her broken phone, her anger boiled over.

"Moly!!!" She screamed, running upstairs again.

MONDAY, MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**

The first lesson is already underway when loud shouting has made everyone anxious.

The lecturer stopped teaching and wondered why.

"Riri is back!" Trinidad said, checking her phone.

The video of how she got out of the taxi in front of the school has been released, it is live as it is still in progress.

She currently walks into the school as the students scoff and jeer, chanting SHAMELESS RIRI around her.

Izzy and Bae rushed out of class first, then Genova and Craig.

Riri is already in the hallway when they left.

The students are still shouting around her but what is surprising is that, she kept her head held high, she is not ashamed.

She looks at everyone without expression.

Izzy and Bae tried to stop the students from screaming and give way to her, but it's too much.

Genny felt it would keep getting worse if we weren't careful so he wanted to intervene but Riri's voice spoke.

"Am I the first girl to confess for a guy!" she cried and everyone fell silent.

She adjusted her glasses and smiled.

"But because he's a celebrity, he's someone all the girls have a crush on, he's your idol but I'm a thug, you treated me like an outcast, I regret having did this and I still regret but I can't regret in peace?, stop harassing me I'm human too!" she shouted.

Even if a pin drops now, the sound will be heard because silence kills.

"But you know what? If bullying me and making fun of me is going to boost your CGP then keep going...Let's go!!" she cried, breathing heavily.

No one made a move, everyone looked on in amazement.

Polly smiled from the stair railings where she's watching.

"She's bold, should I make her regret coming back?" She thought.

Molly looked on with hatred, wishing she could just send Riri to hell.

"I'm going to make you regret coming back" she thought.

Reece smiled too.

"Sassy," he chuckled.

Genova smiled satisfyingly.

Craig gave a thumbs up

Izzy and Bae exchanged happy looks.

"Are you guys fed up? I told you to bring it!" shouted Riri again.

They all kept watching.

"Bunch of silly rascals," she said and pushed them out of the way, stepping out of the circle.

Izzy and Bae hugged her at the same time.

"God, I missed you! Where the hell were you?" Izzy said.

"I'm sorry to have worried you," Riri replied.

"I haven't had a good night's sleep since this happened, I've missed you," Bae replied.

"I'm back now and I'm not afraid of anyone," she replied as they broke the embrace.

"Welcome back, hope you came with a good brain this time," Craig said.

"Silly Craig, yeah I came prepared" she smiled and faced Genova.

She has a lot to tell him but not now.

"Let's go to class" she said as she left with the girls.

Genoa smiles.

"Hey why that smile?" Craig asked.

"Nothing, let's go to the class I like today," he replied, trying to pull Craig away but Craig suddenly held his head.

"Hey what?" asked Genoa.

“Oh no…my head is spinning,” Craig said, trying to remember something.

The scene came lucidly and he saw it all immediately

Orientation day!

Izzy took him to the car, he was drunk.

She placed it in the back.

"Don't ever drink again or you'll die" she glared at him and he smiled, staring at her tempting lips.

In his drunken state, he lost control and when she wanted to leave, he pulled her back and kissed her.

Her eyes widened and she pushed him away quickly.

"My God!, I love your lips, so soft" he drunkenly said and fell asleep as Izzy ran away.

Craig remembered everything and laughed loudly like a mental patient.

"What?" asked Genoa confused.

Craig looked at him and hugged him.

"I die today" he whispered.

Genova quickly broke the embrace.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"I kissed her!!!!!" He screamed and passed out.

Genova quickly caught him before he fell.

“Is he playing tricks on me? Genova wondered and let him go.

Craig fell to the ground.

"Meet me in class" Genova said and left but he didn't take three steps when Craig woke up.

"Genny you mean!!!, Oh I kissed her" he says and passes out again.
