CHAPTER 1 UNLUCKY BOY BAND

Flashing camera lights, loud screams, and shouts, people enjoying the time of their life going crazy about a group of celebrities walking past them. Everywhere you look, people are rushing in and trying to capture their attention. Most of them are trying to take their photograph and interview them. But the group of people just patiently bowed their heads and walked away, already used to being the center of attention.

"Bishop! Bishop! What are your plans for your next album?"

"Aleric, are the rumors true that you are dating the hot supermodel Beatrice Greens?"

"Ellian, what do you think about the confession that Sophie Colette made on international television about you that she wants to collaborate with you and had long been your fan?"

"Inez, is it true that you are planning to leave the band and go on a solo career?"

"How was your last world tour?"

"Congratulations on breaking another record and for the sold outs on your albums and tickets! Unlucky, why are you back in the country? "

Every second that passed, the group of four people was swarmed with questions that they were used to hearing, and regardless of how they felt annoyed for being questioned this harshly, they couldn't do anything since they knew it was the payment for being a famous star.

Losing their privacy and having each move they make being watched.

After the hard battle at the airport, they finally managed to enter their nanny car and breathe.

"How persistent, I thought that Manager and the company already blocked news about our arrival, but they still found out and caused such a ruckus." Bishop Guiliani said as he gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes in annoyance. Bishop is the band's drummer and at the same time their leader. Usually, it was the vocalist who led the band, but they were different.

Bishop is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology. He plans to become a surgeon and he is already in his first year of residency after passing the board exams as a top notcher. He was back in the country to complete his residency and at the same time do something he had long been wanting to do.

"I was prepared to run away or ride a plane back to America if things didn't go as planned a while ago." Aleric Castellan shook his head and could only wryly laugh at their misfortune. Aleric is a graduate of Bachelor of Arts and the man wanted to become a film director ever since he was a small kid, his love for films and photography was stronger than his love for music. He is also the band's bassist and the hottest rake there is.

"Talk about betrayal, someone must have seen us take the plane in Los Angeles and told someone about it." Inez D'Angelo, the band's vocalist was the group's black sheep, he never really wanted to become a star, he only joined because his friends wanted to form a band when they were still in high school. Inez's family was against him being a star and yet no matter what they say, he would never obey them. He was a graduate of Bachelor of Fine Arts, everything he did, even the degree he took was all because he wanted to rebel against his father who was a respected Congressman.

"I adore our fans and am grateful to them, but sometimes, I wanna wring their necks for being too annoying." Ellian Silvius, as kind and angelic as he looked, the guitarist of the most sought-after band in the world was actually a really ruthless man. Raised in a family where emotions are not allowed, he was soon groomed to be cold, ruthless, and unforgiving. He was always detached and the only times he would pour his feelings is when he is on stage, holding his guitar. Regardless of this, his fans love him unconditionally and love the way he is.

Ellian is a graduate of Bachelor of Business Management. He is one of the heirs to the family fortune of the Silvius bloodline. A pampered 4th generation child they say. But his family are the witnesses of how hard his life was.

As the Silvius child, there was one rule that they must follow, and that is to marry the person that the elder generation assigned to them, going against them is better off forfeiting your rights as an heir.

The four of them created the band in order to get away from each of their problems. It just happens that they were too good-looking and talented, that half a year into doing small gigs, they were scouted by a company and a well-known record label thus bringing them to where they are right now.

"Shush now, if your fans could hear you right now, instead of having backlash those girls would even beg you to choke them." Bishop jokes, earning snickers and laughter from the others.

"They really need either Jesus or a psychiatrist." Ellian coldly mumbled and closed his eyes as he attempted to continue his nap.

Seeing that Ellian was now resting, Bishop, Aleric, and Inez no longer bothered him and did something to occupy themself.

Three hours later, they arrived at the company's parking lot. They managed to recharge themself with a short nap during travel so they had a bit of energy to spare.

"Welcome back boys, congratulations on your tour, everyone is looking forward to what you guys are planning for the next few months." President Lincoln, is the owner and son of the founder of the entertainment company that the Unlucky Band is under.

"President Lincoln, greetings," Aleric said while Ellian only nodded his head at him.

"President, been a while, Sir." Bishop greeted.

"You look older than the last time we met." Inez teased while grinning at the man playfully.

"Greetings, Aleric, you look impeccable. Bishop, dashing, as always. And you, tsk still trying to pick a fight wherever you go, Inez." President Lincoln did not know if he should be angered by Inez's remark or just laugh it off.

It was only Ellian who did not greet him verbally, but he did not say anything against the young man, he was used to his coldness anyway. Everyone does, for the years that they knew each other, President Lincoln understood each member of the group, treated them nicely, and thought of them as his children.

If he was asked to describe each, he would put it simply as though Bishop Guiliani, the leader, and drummer of the group is a mature young man who knows what he wants and is truly a respectable young man. In addition, really smart and responsible even before when they were just starting as a small unknown band.

Aleric Castellan, the band's bassist, is a stubborn young man who treats women like toys. Every day he would be with different women and he could no longer count how many times he had caught him making out with someone at the company. The biggest rake, a flirt, and as angelic as he looked, he could get anything by hook or by crook. But despite that, he is truly a talented musician and artist.

Inez D'Angelo, the vocalist, just like Aleric, Inez is also a cause of his headaches, however, he is only doing terrible things to annoy his father and Lincoln could not fathom how such a twisted young man came from the kind and benevolent family of the country's Governor. A black sheep, he takes pride in every headache he causes the people around him. But despite this, Inez is a really talented man in terms of photography, films, and directing.

Lastly, Ellian Silvius the group's guitarist is not as kind and angelic as he looks, only Lincoln and the people close to the band know how cold and detached the man is from everyone. He would obey his commands and never cause him problems, but no one could expect him to react or even show unnecessary emotions. He may be righteous and respectful at times, but they know how frightening Ellian is when he gets angry.

"I called you here not only to congratulate you but to talk about your plans for the next few months while staying in the country. I can't just let you guys go and not know your plans."

"Just like I said before, I will be doing my residency at the Corazon Hospital, at the same time, I will only work twice a month to focus on my studies and finish it before the next world tour and comeback," Bishop explained, he took the tray of egg pie and placed it on his lap before he started to munch on it. It's his favorite snack and it should always be paired with ice-cold coke.

"Your residency will take up to 3 to 8 years and you've still only done a year of it, plus for the remainder of your studies, where will you be staying?" President Lincoln handed the four of them files enclosed in a brown folder before taking a seat on his swivel chair.

"Don't worry about where I will be staying, I know a place." Bishop grinned and as if one cue, his phone rang and a familiar name flashed on its screen.
