I left home but wasn't able to inform mum as she was with dad and mum Alicia was with uncle Lucian.
I arrived at the hotel the show was going to be held in and the valet offered to pack my car .
I just carried my suitcase and made my way for the reception
" good afternoon ma how may I help you "
" am here for a show"
" you mean the singles Migos show "
" yes exactly"
" miss Lucy your room is on the second floor opposite your fellow judge" she gave me a card and told me my room number
I wouldn't deny the fact that I was curious to know about my fellow judge but I won't let curiosity get the better of me so I simply went to my room and freshened up again.
I came out of the bathroom to find eighteen missed calls from zayden
I immediately returned his calls
" hello "
" Lucy where have you been you got me worried"
" am sorry I was in the bathroom" I apologize.
" ohh so you've arrived at the event "
" yes "
" that's great then we'll meet when the show starts for now you just relax "
" okay bye " I ended the call
I set my alarm for 4:00 pm
I really needed to sleep and I was very nervous
I closed my eyes and I was already in my dream world.
" BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ " my alarm rang and I lazily opened my eyes. I Checked the time and it was already twenty minutes passed four.
I flew out of bed and ran into the bathroom to wash my face
I couldn't imagine I slept in .
I came out of the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror deciding what to do with my hair .
I decided to make my hair into waves and since I was no fan of make up
I applied very light make up , put on my suit and my heels.
I took one last look at my reflection and gave my self a little smile . I wasn't dressing to impress anyone . and I looked as if I was going for a business conference .
Lucy checked the time and it was 4:45
she took to her heels and made her way for the show. when she arrived their were people running around
" excuse me " she stopped one of the ladies
" yes "
" am looking for zayden ".
" ma Mr zayden smith is currently getting ready, are you among the judges " she questioned
" yes "
" oh my am so so sorry please come with me "
the lady lead Lucy towards the backstage. it wasn't as crowded ad the place they just left .
" ma do you need anything, like a make up artist "
" no am okay " Lucy replied with a smile.
Lucy was abit nervous but the people around her couldn't notice it as she had an expressionless face all through.
" Good evening ladies and gentlemen, or should I say my fellow singles in the house " and their was an uproar in the crowd
Lucy knew the show has already begun so she organized herself and took long breathe
" I hear by welcome all of you to the singles Migos show and am your host zayden smith "
the crowd clapped and the ladies kept screaming
" so let's get this show started .
I know you all have been wondering who our judges are but before I introduced them I'll first have to brief you about this show.
In this show we would be having a total of three judges, but two main judges
the reason being our female judge would be contesting with someone and our contestants would be voting for which team they choose to belong to .
the victory of each team depends on their leaders .
so if we are clear on this please help welcome our first judge
a big shot, he is well renounced in the business world and had a ruling power, although he loves leaving on a low and simple life he is loved by all
please help welcome Mr zack ken "
Lucy on the other hand didn't hear the name of the person called as she was on her ear pod
" ma please get ready you're about to be called on stage " she got informed
" and our second judge , she's a damsel in action although it's should have been damsel in distress" and the crowd laughed
" she has won the business tycoon award for the past three years and has the biggest shopping mall in the country
although she was my close friend in school she doesn't even give me a discount when I go shopping at her mall for an underwear".
everyone burst out laughing
" please make welcome Lucy Devi"
Lucy stepped on stage with a smile on her face .
she was take to her sit and she didn't seem to notice who her co judge was as she was still laughing at the joke zayden made and kept waving the crowd
" so Lucy when am I getting a discount" Zayden asked and Lucy turned to the crowd
" should I give him a discount" she asked the crowd
" NOO " They all yelled
" you heard them so theirs no discount for you buddy" she winked
" oh come on " he said and everyone laughed
" so let's get this train moving, I would be calling our contestants on stage to give us a performance and our judges would have to comment "
speaking of judges Lucy turned to look at her cause judge but he was backing her as he faced the crowd
" but before I call our contestants on stage I'll love to tell you all a short story
you see their was this girl who was so obsessed with proving herself to her uncle , although shes gifted with a voice this young lady never sings unless you persuade and begging her .
I don't know if you know who am talking about but ...."
" Lucy Devi" the crowd screamed
" okay that was quick, so it's decided Lucy is going to perform for us "
" oh no zayden"
" oh yes Lucy , think of it as a payback for not giving me a discount " he winked
" come on " Lucy screamed as zayden lead the way
" so guys what song do you want to hear " he asked the crowd
" love song love song" they yelled
" okay I think I have a solution for that Lucy why not sing us your favorite song by christian Perri "
" hmm it was ".
" no matter what we want to hear it am I right guys "
" yes " the crowd screamed
" what ever but their no piano so no performance" Lucy smirk and made her way to her sit but was pulled back by zayden which made the crowd chuckle
" just hold it theirs a piano just for you " he pointed to the other end of the stage
Lucy gave up and made her way towards the piano
.The crowd was impatient as they wanted to here the big business tycoon voice
' the day we met frozen I held my breath '
' right from the start I knew I'd found a home for my heart beats fast , color and promises '
' how to be brave , how can I love when I'm afraid to fall but watching you stand alone '
' all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow '
' one step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand years '
on hearing Lucy's voice zack turned his seat around to face the stage.
inside somewhere he felt asif he's heard her sing this song especially for him
he signalled gem to come over
" find all means to get all information about this lady "
" yes sir "he turned around to force back on Lucy's performance on stage .
when Lucy ended the song the crowd couldn't stop screaming and throwing flowers at her .
Lucy stood up to meet with zacks eyes
she wanted to run away but held her self
she wasn't a weak person and would never be
she made her way for her sit and the show went on smoothly.
immediately after the show Lucy left for her room without even speaking to zayden she was about to open her door when
" hey " Zack waved her but she stood their motionlessly
Zack on the other hand kept wondering why lucy was staring so he decided to speak up
" hmm we didn't really didn't start well last time we met so why don't we start all over again, am Zack " he stretched his hand for a hand shake but Lucy just kept staring
" hello are you okay "
he waved but she didn't respond
he kept wondering what in hell was wrong with Lucy when suddenly she collapsed
he was quick enough to catch her and carried her into his room.
meanwhile somewhere in the hotel
" sir " the spy came close to his boss but got slapped instead
" I told you not to let them come in contact so how did that happen "
" I...I don't know sir "
" just shut up if I can't have her then no one will set the room ablaze " he instructed and the spy ran away
" I tried Lucy I tried my best but you're just too stubborn so don't blame me for your death " he slammed his hand on the table.
zack laid beside Lucy, he didn't know why but he left he has been in this position with her before
" zack " Zack stood up to find a man standing beside him
" how did you get in here"
" no questions, you want to know why Lucy behaves the way she does and who I am so come with me "
" but who are you " he questioned
" the Father of the person you were lying next to.
I am the devil "
" t..the ... devil... you mean Lucifer".
" we don't have time to waste let's go " he held Zacks hand and teleported out of the room .
