CELEBRITY PLAYBOY : CHAPTERS 21 – 30

BY NAOMI CINDY B.

“Wear your pants, Amber Steel” he muttered, and she bit her tongue, hard.

The metallic taste of blood filled her tongue, and she almost fell to her knees as Kenzie took Hazel out of the room.

She began fighting the tears trying to betray her eyes but failed woefully cos the tears fell.

She quickly wiped them, throwing on her underwear and shorts.

She hurriedly forced her arms into her singlet and didn’t even wear the top before rushing out of the room.

She caught up with Kenzie who’s just passing by the main studio, and every single person in the studio is on their feet with bulging eyes as if they’re witnessing a freak show.

Penny’s eyes were literally on the floor.

* Didn’t he hold her at the music studio too?

* Seriously!

* And now she’s in his arms? Are they dating?

* Kenzie Torrance? Da….ting? How does that sound?

* So what the fûck is going on!

Amber was fuming, unable to move from her spot anymore, but Hope took few steps to them when she noticed the blood on Hazel’s forehead.

“Are you ok? What happened?”

“She’ll be fine” Kenzie replied for her, taking her out of the studio completely.

Hope rushed after him nevertheless, and immediately he placed her in the car, she peeked in through the window.

“I’ll give you a call ok? And make sure you get it treated” she said.

“Sure, thanks Hope” Hazel smiled, and Kenzie drove the car out of the studio park.

“Where are we going?” Hazel asked.

“Where else would we go to get rid of the blood on you?” He replied curtly, and he enabled auto -drive.

He opened the second drawer, and he got a roll of tissue which he started wiping her bloody face with.

“Ah..hh!” She winced, folding her palms tightly as her eyes went shut.

“Don’t close your eyes” he told her.

She slowly opened her eyes. “Why?” She muttered.

“Just don’t” he replied, and then he returned to cleaning the wound.

“Did you wound yourself to prove a point?” He said, and her eyes widened a bit.

“No, but…

“Lying to me is useless. I’m genius enough to catch up” he interrupted, and she bit her lip.

“Fine …I did, but how did you know?”

“You were wounded, and she was naked. She probably told you I’d choose sèx over my own life, and you wanted to prove her wrong” he replied.

“Was she really wrong?” She asked, but no reply came from him.

“Would you chose me over sèx again? What does it mean? That I’m not stupid anymore?” She whispered, and when their eyes met afterwards, she saw a slight dip on his right brow before he looked away.

“Would you chose me over sèx again?” She asked for the third time.

“If you give me a reason to” he replied, and she blinked, secretly pinching herself as the car pulled up at the hospital.

He took her in and got her a nurse.

While she was getting treated, he excused himself and met some doctors at the mental health section.

He was allowed entry into a particular ward, and immediately he entered, sourness dominated his features.

Georgia is laying in bed, her monitor beeping softly, and the blood bag she’s receiving is almost in half.

She hurt herself again.

She had rolled down a staircase, and her body has twisted fresh wounds from the fall. Even her face is a home of uncovered flesh, she looks pathetic.

When she’s wounded like this is the only time she recognizes anybody, but she just needs two days to heal, and then she’d go back to being mad again.

Her eyes opened slowly as Kenzie took the fifth step to her bed, and immediately she saw him, her breathings climbed high.

“Mc….Mc… McKenzie” she stuttered, her body shaking as she struggled to balance after saying the full name.

Kenzie took the sixth step which brought him to her bedside, and he bent to her level on the bed, resting his palms on the sheets before holding eyes with her, spitting venom into her soul.

“Mc..Mcken…

“Imagine how beautiful it’d be if I rip your tongue out of your mouth right now” he cut her off harshly, lowering his lips to her ear before whispering…

“Or how enthralling it’d feel to shred your bones and pull you out of your skin then burn your flesh in fire”

Georgia’s vitals started rising. She began gasping for breaths, and her monitor began beeping faster than usual.

“Won’t it be cute if I break you into pieces and dispose you into the ocean, piece by piece?” Kenzie whispered again, and she grabbed his shirt tight, slipping deeper into misery as tears came out of her eyes corners.

Unknown to Kenzie, Hazel is by the door, watching with wide, terrified eyes.

She finished her head treatment some minutes ago, and she had traced him here.

She covered her mouth with her palm so she won’t scream as she watched Kenzie’s display on the woman.

Their resemblance is uncanny. He has her dreamy eyes and pointed nose, so it’s pretty obvious she’s his mother.

“Get well soon, Georgia, and I’ll have fun killing you” he whispered in her ear again, and blood gushed out of her mouth as she continued struggling to breath.

Kenzie plucked her hand from his shirt harshly, and several doctors rushed in.

He left the ward without waiting to know if she’d be fine.

She’d be fine anyways. It’s not his first time of torturing her with words.

He met Hazel waiting in front of the ward, and before she could talk, he took her hand and pulled her out of the hospital.

He willingly followed without trying to break free, but the strange thing is that his body is shaking.

She could feel it through his hand,but she couldn’t figure out if it’s because of rage or fear.

Kenzie never fears, so she’d just go with the first one.

They got back in the car, and he still didn’t let go of her hand.

He’s still shaking, and it even got worse.

She removed her hand from his own, then she held his hand instead, and he looked at her.

“Are you ok?” She asked in a whisper.

He immediately removed his hand from hers. “I’m fine” he muttered.

“But your mum, did you…

“Don’t ask questions, Hazel” he cut her off icily, and she reclined as he drove out of the hospital.

Till they arrived at the estate, he didn’t say a word, and when they arrived, she got down from the car but he didn’t

He drove out again, and Hazel stood dumbfounded.

She should be used to this by now

He’s McKenzie Torrance, of course after every sweet side of him, there’s a bitter side.

It’s so easy for him to switch moods, and it’s driving her crazy already.

“You’re back, baby!” Maria came out of the annex, and her eyes widened when she saw her plastered head.

“What happened to you again! How come you’re always getting wounded these days I told you to always be careful! Is it Amber again?” She held her face.

“Nope. It was me this time, I did it to prove a point though, and I won” Hazel smiled.

“Are you for real? Hazel” Maria sighed.

“I’m fine, yunno I heal fast” Hazel smiled, and she sighed again.

“You won’t be the end of me”

“What’s for lunch? I want popcorn and milk” Hazel chuckled, hugging her by the side as they went in together.

“I’ll make some for you” Maria replied, stroking her hair till they entered the annex.

LORD STEEL’S EMPIRE*

The rest of the guys were already waiting in front of the iron gate when Kenzie appeared.

They drove into the gate together, and their steps aligned as they walked into the property.

This time, they met Lord Steel at the balcony, talking to the three new members of the gang who passed the hunting test last night.

Immediately the guys arrived, he sent the new members away, and they all settled in front of him.

“How’s the girl?” He asked pointedly.

“Six feet below the ocean, I threw her in after bulleting her in three places. She wasn’t a spy, just a little rat who deserved to die” Kenzie replied, and Steel grinned, resting back on his seat.

“When are y’all going back to school?”

“We still have a month and two weeks left” Natty replied.

“Why do you ask, boss?” Miguel asked.

“I’ll be shipping in my biggest load, and this time it’s coming through the Italian seaway. I trust there’ll be a problem, and I need captain to take care of it” Steel replied with raised brows

“I’ll fly to Italy when the time comes…you don’t have to lift a finger ” Kenzie replied, and Steel chuckled.

“I trust you, always”

“Dad!” Katherine came in that moment, and her eyes widened when she saw Kenzie with the others.

She comported herself quickly though, and immediately Kenzie left with the guys, she took their place.

“Dad, what was Kenzie doing here?” She asked quickly.

“He’s been working for me since last year” he replied freely.

“C’mon dad he has been in school since last year” she replied.

He kept quiet, and she gasped.

“You mean he was working for you from school? He’s part of the gang?”

“He’s the gang leader” he replied.

“Then it should be easy to manipulate him! Dad…Amber wants this guy so badly and would do anything to have him but he’s always dirtying her! He disgraced her again today!” She said a little loud, and he stood.

He started going in, and his guards followed him.

“Dad! Dad!!” Katherine ran after him.

“I think we’ve gone past the stage of lying about anything right now, Kenzie. You lied about killing the girl, I could just feel it in your voice earlier” Eminem said when the guys arrived back at the gate.

“I was just about to say that…What’s going on captain?” Natty faced him too.

“Did you keep her to break her heart so you could win your 97th trophy with her?” Miguel talked.

“You know what it means if boss finds out. You shouldn’t be the one doing this” Natty said.

Kenzie pretended not to hear them, he tried entering the car, but Eminem held him back.

“Captain…

“Stop it, y’all. I’m not in the mood” he frowned.

“Wait … Did you meet Georgia today?” Natty asked suspiciously.

Kenzie got in the car anyways, and they exchanged glances.

TORRANCE ESTATE*

Hope flipped her hair as she came out of her car in front of the gate, and she immediately fished out her phone.

She expected Hazel’s call throughout, but she didn’t get a ring. She got worried and decided to come.

She dialled Hazel’s line, and a smile appeared on her lips immediately she picked.

“Hey Zel…I’m at the gate, are you…

Hazel hung up before she could finish, and she rumpled her face, trying the line again.

She didn’t pick at the second ring, but at the third ring, Hazel rushed out of the estate.

“Hey” Hope smiled brightly.

“You can drive in. Madam said I’m free to take my visitors in now” Hazel replied, and they got back in the car together.

Hope drove into the estate, and when they came down at the garage, Hope started checking out her plastered head.

“Does it hurt a lot?” She asked.

“No. Kenzie took me to the hospital and it got treated. I also took pain relievers so it’s fine”

“What really happened in the washroom? Did Amber do it?” Hope asked.

“No. It was actually an accident. I fell and…

Two cars drove in that moment, and the guys came out of it.

Natty and Kenzie in a car, Eminem and Miguel in the second.

“Fûck! Look who we have here! She’s pretty! Aren’t you Hope? A member of the band” Eminem said immediately.

“Sure” Hope smiled cheerfully, her eyes darting to Miguel for a second.

Miguel went in, so she brought her attention back to Eminem.

“Don’t tell me you love Miguel at first sight” Eminem shadowed his eyes.

“No way…” Hope quickly replied, and Eminem chuckled.

“What happened to your head Zel? Why are you hurt again?” Natty gasped.

“It was an accident at the studio, no one hurt me this time trust me” Hazel smiled.

“Gosh, you’re so fragile, you require a lot of care” Natty pouted, and Hazel smiled, then she looked over at Kenzie who’s leaning on the car hood, smoking vape.

He looks better than when they left the hospital, and when their eyes met, he winked, making her smirk, then she smiled, glad that he’s back on track.

He got his phone and began typing…a minute later, she got a text…

Ken-Z: Wanna smoke?

She hissed before typing back.

Hazel: You have nothing more to offer than smoke, right? Douche.

Ken-Z: Says who? Have you seen my dîck?

She gasped after reading that, unable to close her mouth.

Hazel: Why? Is it the size of a pen?

Kenzie: You’ll take back your words when i fûck your cûnt with it, sweetheart.

Hazel: What makes you think I’d allow you?

Kenzie: What makes you think you wouldn’t?

She scoffed after reading that, the she looked up to find his eyes on herself.

She gave him the middle finger, and he smiled meaningfully, rubbing his lips as he entered the mansion.

“Hope is my second friend from now on” Natty’s voice made her turn, and she was surprised to see them snapping selfies together already.

They must have bonded when she was busy texting Kenzie.

“Already?” She smiled.

“Yeah she’s cool” Natty replied.

“Penny is cool too” Hazel said.

“Duhh, i just feel something is off about that girl” Natty replied.

“Chips! Anyone?” Lee arrived with a bowl of it, and Eminem rushed out of the mansion to snatch it.

“Emi that’s for me!” Natty ran after him, back into the mansion with Lee.

Hope followed them inside, and Hazel quickly dialled Penny’s line.

It rang three times, but she didn’t pick.

AMBER’S PLACE*

Amber has a stick of cigarette between her plump lips as she sat on the biggest couch, legs crossed with an ashtray in front of her.

Penny is with her, sitting on the couch opposite her.

“Isn’t it bad for a singer to smoke too much? You’re on the fifth stick” Penny said.

“Mind your own business, fool” Amber replied, and Penny sighed.

Katherine rushed in almost immediately.

“Sis! I swear Kenzie works for dad! He’s the gang leader!” She announced.

“What!” Amber spranged up.

“I’m darn serious! I saw him clearly at the empire!” Katherine replied.

“Why am I just finding out?” Amber smirked.

“Aren’t you Cole’s girlfriend? Cole Laughlin?” Penny suddenly said, and Katherine faced her.

“Yes?”

“There’s something you should know about him, and Hazel” Penny replied, and Katherine frowned.

6PM, TORRANCE ESTATE ~SECOND MANSION*

Miguel, Natty, Hope and Kenzie are in the game room, playing table tennis loudly when Eminem came in with Lee to join them.

Hope would have left, but thanks to Natty who kept holding her back with sweet words. She’s damn good at persuasion.

Hope and Miguel are the ones playing right now.

Natty is cheering, but Eminem and Lee joined her immediately they came in.

Kenzie is sitting at a corner, shirtless as he texted Hazel, giving the phone all his attention.

He sent three texts already, but she hasn’t replied any, though she’s reading them.

1st one: What’re you don’t RN?

2nd: Are you in the kitchen?

3rd: Is this another game? I hate being ignored, madly.

She read that and didn’t reply too, and he smirked, folding his palm on the phone.

“Hazel looked good earlier. I think she has a date” Eminem suddenly said, and he looked up.

“A date?”

“Yeah. Saw her leaving the estate, and she even covered her wound with bangs, and she wore makeup too” Eminem explained, and Kenzie’s eyes darkened.

“Oh…that. She told me she’s going out with Cole tonight.” Natty said.

“Cole? Same fuçking Cole we all know?” Kenzie spranged up.

“Calm down mate, I don’t think he’s still sick. He has been friends with her even before we returned from school, so…” Eminem said.

“You think people like him can heal? They wait for the right time to strike!” Kenzie spat.

“But it’s been a while since it happened though, and he looks ok now…I don’t get why you’re so worked up” Miguel said.

“Because I know what I’m talking about! Cole is a motherfûcker and he knows what he’s doing!” Kenzie replied and left the room.

“Is Hazel in danger? What’s happening?” Hope asked in concern.

“What sickness is Cole battling with?” Lee asked, and Eminem whispered it in his ear.

His eyes widened. “What!”

GROOVY CEMETERY*

Hazel hasn’t attended anything like this before, so when Cole brought her, she was scared at first.

Who the hell parties in a cemetery?

She just had to do it cos it’s been weeks since he’s been asking her to go out with him, and she has been turning him down cos of his girlfriend.

She decided to come with him tonight and make it the first and last time.

Surprisingly, it’s more fun than she expected.

The smell of smokes filled the atmosphere… several people smoking pot and cigars, and the cemetery got more crowded by the minutes.

She’s sitting on a stone with Cole beside her, and while he’s holding a bottle of kirin, she’s holding a bottle of virgin mojito since she doesn’t do alcohol.

“Why did you chose this place though?” She faced him, drinking from her bottle.

“The air, the atmosphere, the chills…I just like it better. We do cemetery parties almost every night in school” he replied, and she nodded

“In school? I wonder what school is like?”

“You can still go to school, Hazie” he replied, and she felt her eyes dwindling as she drank from the bottle again.

Wasn’t it supposed to be non-alcoholic? Why is she feeling tipsy???

“I mean… why are you not in good terms with Kenzie?” She sniffled drunkenly, feeling her eyes turning.

“Why wouldn i? He’s a cultist” he replied hatefully, watching her every move.

“I know he is…” She shrugged.

“You know?” He said shockingly, and she suddenly took off her jacket.

Her bottle fell from her in the process.

“I’m…I’m suddenly feeling hot” she said, her cheeks and ears deeply red.

“There’s a tent at the back, you can rest there” he replied as he stood, helping her up too.

“Tent?…why don’t we go… home” she muttered, smiling drunkenly.

“The tent, Hazie…” He insisted, and he was about to carry her in his arms when he received a kick on his head from behind.

He staggered forward, landing on the ground, then a livid Kenzie came to view, breathing harshly and angrily.

“Ken…zie” Hazel narrowed her eyes, but he didn’t spare her a glance before lunging at Cole again.

Another kick on Cole’s face made his face shove into the sandy soil, and he cried out.

“Darnnn!!! Urghh!!!!”

“Go look for another prey, motherfûcker! She’s not yours!” Kenzie spat, pulling him up then punching his face.

Cole’s jaw almost broke as he flew to the nearest grave, landing hard on the concrete.

The crowd has gathered around right now, and the music stopped already… everyone faced the show.

“Kenzie!!!” Hazel shouted, the alcohol clearing off her face as fast as possible.

He didn’t hear anything cos he went for Cole on the grave again and elbowed him on the chest.

Cole flew back to the ground, blood covering his face and mouth.

“Kenzie!!!” Hazel screamed again as he pulled Cole up, ready to punch his stomach.

“Stop!!” She screamed, and he reluctantly let go of him.

Cole fell on the ground, and Kenzie turned back, but immediately he did, Hazel’s palm met with his face.

The slap was thunderous, and everyone gasped as the sound travelled across the place, but it wasn’t all…

Hazel slapped him on the second cheek almost immediately, harder than the first.

Louder gasps escaped people’s mouths, and some covered their mouths with their palms.

Cole smiled secretly on the ground where he’s lying.

Kenzie’s cheeks became so red, but he doesn’t look shocked nor surprised. He looks like a tempted devil, ready to rage.

His eyes were spitting fire and brimstones.

“He’s a fuçking…

“I don’t wanna hear it, Kenzie… leave us alone!!” She shouted at his face, and his shoulders stiffened as he took a step closer to her.

She stood her ground, and he smirked devilishly.

“If i come close to you, talk to you, or come for you ever again, then I’m not Kenzie Torrance. You can go die for all I care” he muttered, and she gulped.

Kenzie walked angrily out of the place, and the party scattered.
