Evelyn POV
I still can't believe they ditched me? Just after I got agree to help them! You guys might not know what happened, so let me tell you.
Flashback~
"Have you packed your luggage? Do you need any help Eve?" Veena asked, entering my room. "Yes Mom, I'm just taking some necessary stuff, other than that, I'll just buy if I need anything"
"Dear, I hope you're not forcing yourself. But still, you can return anytime, if you feel like, okay?"
"Mom, you know that I have to do it, I can't stay home for the rest of my life, right? Eventually I have to go out alone, without all of you. And I think it's the right time" I said pressing my lips together, putting up a fake smile. I kept my face like this, until she left the room.
It is obvious, Mothers are always gonna be worried for their kids. No matter if that kid is a teenager or a twenty-four years old grown ass adult.
It's not like I never went out of the country before. I did. But there was at least one of my family members was present with me. According to them, I was young, so my dad made my brothers accompanying me to my business meetings and all. It was great actually, they almost taught me everything I know.

When we arrived at the airport, Uncle John went to answer some important call, leaving me in the VIP lounge alone.
By 'we' it means John Uncle and I, Because Suzy, my dear cousin, was missing my mom so much, that she stayed there for some time, but I know better. That sly bitch! She didn't miss my mom, but her designs.
"Evelyn my daughter" I looked at the owner of the voice, it was Uncle John walking toward me. Finally!
"Can we go now, please?" I asked as I was feeling so bored, sitting there all by myself. "Yes, but there is a little problem"
'WHAT NOW' that's what I wanted to say but didn't and let him continue.
"Dear, I have some really important work to finish before I head to LA" he stated and I looked at him in disbelief. Are they fucking serious right now? First that sly bitch now Uncle john! This family has some serious promises problem.
"What about me?" It is all I asked. well more like, I didn't have anything else to ask for. "Don't worry about that, I already made Lucio return from his little vacation. And he will pick you up from the airport. You can stay in the mansion or with your cousin, in his apartment, as you like"
"Alright" I sighed. It's not like I have much of a choice.
Flashback Ended~
I was looking around the airport, not sure where to go. Lucio was supposed to pick me up. HELL! I'm starting to hate the place already.
When I was about to walk out of the airport, I saw a crowd, walking inside. Probably some celebrity, rolling my eyes I turned to walk inside the waiting area. I can't even go out now.
"Evelyn?" I heard the voice I wanted to hear for quite some time. I looked around, to see where this voice came from. Then I saw, my cousin Lucio, I didn't recognize him in the first glance, he was coming out from the crowd I saw earlier, fully covered with hoodie, sweatpants, mask and a cap. I wonder how his fans recognized him.
"Hey Princess!" he stated as he engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. "Ouch! Lucy I can't breathe!" I yelled at him, making him break the hug.
he chuckled. "Why are you dressed like me?" what? I looked at my clothes, I was wearing a black oversized hoodie, blue jeans, matching cap, black mask and sunglasses to enhance my look. oh well.
"So are we twining?" I asked and he laughed. "Yes we are. You looks like a celebrity, now let's go" he held my hand, pulling me to go with him. wait are we going through that crowd? No way!
"Wait lucy" I said making him look at me, with a confused expression. "What happened?" He asked.
"We aren't going through that crowd, are we?" I asked, hoping we can go some other way. I don't want to create scandals, I may not a fan but I'm well aware of the rumors and hating.
"Yes? Is there any problem?" he asked again, totally confused with my behavior.
"Actually Lucy, there's so many people outside, probably most of them are your fans. I don't think, I should go with you, it will draw attention to me. I really don't want any rumours specially when I'm here for business purposes" I said with a hopeful look in my eyes.
He thought for a few seconds before speaking. "Alright, we can go from the back door, I'll let my guards to make sure no one see us okay?"
"I'm thinking, I should go alone?" I suggested in a low voice, getting myself ready to be rejected. But he didn't reply, instead he stared at me, while raising his eyebrow. So I continued. "Lucy, you can go with your friend. Take my luggage with you, I'll join you later in the evening, I want to explore this place first"
I looked at him, as he didn't seem to be convinced by my offer. "Please?" I plastered a fake smile on my face, which I know he can clearly see that.
"Okay" he said shrugging his shoulders.
"But are you sure you want to go alone? I can always accompany you, you know? This is your first time in LA-" "No no, it's fine, I really want to go alone" I said, cutting him off.
He sighed in defeat. "Okay fine. But you're taking my car, take this card with you and this is my apartment's spare key. I'm texting you the address, come straight home whenever you feels like" He said as he handed me his car and apartment keys and one of his credit card. He's so caring, isn't he?
"Thanks I'll take the keys and I've my cards with me so no need of yours" "Nope you're taking that with you If not then you're not going anywhere" he said leaving no room for arguments. Okay then, I'll make sure to make a dent in his account, not that he will mind.
"Okay then, bye"
"Take care of yourself, call me if anything happens, not everyone has a celebrity as a big brother" He replied, flashing his famous smile. I think this is not gonna be that bad?
