Sitting inside the cell, Paul couldn’t help but wonder what he really got himself into.
It was supposed to be another simple job: interview a victim, spread the awareness of two-faced people, get his money, get famous and gain more subscribers. But in just hours, the world he had created seemed to be crumbling down.
How did he get her?
He couldn’t help but ask himself as he looked at the pitiful victim he once was interviewing, but now was in the same situation as him.
It all felt like a dream now, but that was the cold reality.
They had taken on a person who was not like any other. He had done a bit of quick research and had seen the numerous threats that Diamond had made against people like him. But he didn’t believe it. Which famous person, especially these celebrities, didn’t fear them?
With just a single video from them, they could destroy their lives. So, what was there to fear?
He believed that all this while until he found himself sitting across a cold-blooded lawyer who fearlessly handed over a file full of interesting things that he believed only he knew and yet he found himself naked in front of that lawyer.
Such a powerful person. Why did he provoke her?
Now it was already too late to regret.
The whole internet had seen him getting arrested and yet those people didn’t even send anyone or call him. Were they trying to cast him aside now that he was in danger?
Thinking about what that lawyer suggested, Paul couldn’t help but feel tempted. If he didn’t save himself, he might end up staying behind bars for crimes he committed previously.
He suddenly looked at the police officers on duty and his eyes lit up as he thought of something.
Paul hurried to his feet and took large strides to the bars. "Officer, can I make a call?"

Meanwhile, in a certain room, a couple was entangled, naked and covered by pure white sheets. There was a recently extinguished cigarette on an ashtray and the room had the smoke from the cigarettes.
The couple on the bed didn’t have happy smiles on their faces, but their eyes seemed to be riddled with worry.
"Have you found out what’s going on? Did anyone call yet?" the female asked panickily as she looked at the man lying next to her.
The man shook his head as he placed the phone, he was holding a moment ago on the bedside.
"There is nothing."
The woman panicked when she heard that. She nervously asked, "Then, what should we do? Do you think that he will sell us out?"
The man scoffed when he heard that and pulled the woman in his embrace, "Feli, he wouldn’t dare. If he does something like that, then his career would crumble. Moreover, we didn’t leave any evidence. Would he even point it at us?"
When the woman, Feli, heard that. She sighed with relief and her face suddenly lit up.
"That’s good. I was worried for a moment, Jack. I don’t want to see that lunatic retaliating. We have concerts to perform at."
Jack smiled as he caressed his lover, though his gaze darkened when he heard about that lunatic.
"We might have failed this time, but it won’t remain the same. Besides, I have checked the news about Diamond and she is losing followers and fans."
Feli trembled with excitement when she heard that. "Is that true? Haha, then the move was worth it! It’s a pity that they got caught early before they could damage her any further!"
Jack agreed to Feli’s words. Who made such an unknown person just come up and take all the fame that was supposed to be theirs?
They weren’t the only ones who disliked Diamond. There were many of them. They were in this industry for a long time and gave their all to singing and performing. And yet someone who popped from nowhere. In just a few months, she had made a buzz which none of them ever caused.
The number of followers on her social media accounts was too terrifying. When they compared that with theirs, they wished they could assassinate the other and erase her from the world.
Not only that, but when Diamond released her songs, they kept an eye on the stats and it made them nearly explode with fury.
Watching as the number of downloads surpassed millions in just a few days, how could that be possible?
Right now, if they were to check the number of plays on Quetube for the lyric’s videos, they would want to cry.
It was simply unbelievable. She only has five songs sung in two languages and yet she had managed to reach a point that the both of them failed.
And to think that Diamond dared pick May to hold her mini-concert, they didn’t know what to do.
Everyone was clamoring to attend Diamond’s concert, but what about theirs?
There was no mention of it. It was as if the news about their concerts just went cold. Even the online local articles kept on talking about Diamond. How could that be tolerated?
Thankfully, the heavens heard their prayers. The video of Agatha who got kicked out by Diamond went viral. People online sometimes don’t care about the truth. They just want to take the story as they want it.
Seeing the hate comments against her, the two lovers decided to take things further. They hired Paul, who ran the THEINSIDER page and paid him handsomely.
Who would have guessed that despite the numerous warnings, some people would be so bold to reach their hands where they shouldn’t have? free we\bnove(l).com
