Bethel's Pov:
My sound sleep was disrupted by the sound of my phone ringing, not even my alarm. What the heck?
I ignored it and let it ring to an end, but it began ringing again and I groaned out of sleep and reached for the phone which was on the head of the bed.
I opened my bleary eyes to check out the caller and noticed it was Nicole. Huh? Why the hell's she calling me this early? Or is she tryna tell me.me to get ready for . school?
I sat up tiredly on the bed and picked the call.
"Bethel!" She screamed immediately and I flinched.
What the heck is wrong with her?
"Oh, my gee! Don't tell me you're still asleep. Are you for real?" She beamed and I buried my fingers into my hair.
I still. Couldn't get her point.
"What're you..."
"You're missing out, Bethel. Oh my gee! Ryan's back! My greatest superstar is back! Turn on the TV, Bethel. Hurry up. They're showing his arrival at the airport!" She spoke with so much enthusiasm and I scoffed.
"Nicole...was this really the reason you woke me up?" I asked.
"Well, of course, Bethel. Everyone's watching it. Oh, my! He's so cute. I can't wait to go for his concert tonight. The entire city will be there" she enthused.
I rubbed my eyes and sighed.
"You're crazy, Nic" I told her and dropped the call.
Gosh! I can't believe this lady woke me this early just to inform me of Ryan's return.
If not for the fact she was my best friend and we've been friends for eight years now, I'd have gotten mad at her.
I reached for the TV remote and turned on the flat screen TV in my room and indeed, they were showing a live video of Ryan returning at the airport. Wow!
Oh! And Lady K was with him.
Ryan was the most popular, young and wealthiest pop up musician, not just in the country, but in the continent as well.
The whole country worshipped him like a god as he was admired by many.
I heard people don't get to touch him except for his family and he was also the heir to the Winthrop Enterprise, although he had step siblings.
He's dreamy and his mere presence around ladies makes them collapse at times.
As young as he was, he's won over ten awards and the country gave him a name - The country's Pride.
He's the only American musician that's brought such honor and pride to his country. As a matter of fact, he has a special day in the country and that's 12th April.
On every 12th April, there's to be a public holiday and it'd be used just to celebrate his name.
He's really become a king.
He's the richest idol in the continent - wears the most expensive dresses, the more valuable jewelries, drives the latest cars and I heard he doesn't wear a cloth more than once. But I also heard he's rude and hot tempered and finds it hard to forgive; although it doesn't do a thing to his fame. People still adore him.
For four years now, he's been staying in Georgia city, but he's just returned here in Dallas and it's been the talk of the whole city.
I heard he owns two mansions in Georgia - where one is among the top three most expensive buildings in the country.
He owns one in Kentokie and two here in Dallas.
As young as he was, he was a bastard billionaire.
But, I also heard one annoying thing about him - he was a flirt.
Hm. I guess you might be wondering how I got to know all these about him.
Well, like I said, he's more of a god over here and everybody loves him.
Although, he's dreamy and all that, but...I can't fangirl over him like the other ladies do and that's because I already have a boyfriend.
Yup! I do.
I stood up from the bed and decided to get ready for school since Nicole already acted as my alarm today.
Ryan's arrival at the airport was . still being shown at the airport, but I left it and walked out of the room.
I climbed down the stairs into the sitting room and met one of the maids - lana - doing some clean up.
"Good morning, ma'am Bethel" she greeted in obeisance as I entered the sitting room.
"Good morning, Lana" I replied and walked over to the dining which was behind the sitting room.
A refrigerator was behind it and I opened it and brought out an apple, taking a bite.
"Lana" I called as I sat on one of the chairs in the dining.
Lana turned from the sitting room and looked at me.
"Did mummy come home last night?" I asked.
"Yes, ma'am. She did. But she left very early this morning, saying she had something important to attend to" she replied and I rolled my eyes.
She always have more important things to do - things that are more important than me.
Well, I guess I should do a little introduction myself.
I'm Bethel Cyrus 19 years old and the only child to my single mother.
I attend one of the best High School in the country and I'm already in my final year.
I have no idea who my father is; mum never talked about him.
And my mum...sometimes, I forget I even have a mum.
Although, she's filthy rich and provides everything I need. You might like

I was joyful and excited. I didn't actually die. I was reborn and went back to the time a month before the apocalypse.
Now that I was reborn, I must enjoy a month of peace and comfort. I couldn't let myself fall into despair again, so I had to be well-prepared. As a result, I didn't hesitate even to commit a crime.
