" That's terrible... so these scars?"
" Yes, it's from her... I don't know what to do next.." Samuel sighed.
" I am going back." Sibylla stood up.
" What?"
" I am already late for college; best of luck because you will need it."
" Just like that?"
" As far as I respect you, but this time, I can't take your side. I can't even imagine what they must be thinking about..you fucked up bad." Sibylla was blunt with it, but Samuel understood her stance. He was the one feeling the most guilt about what happened.
" I understand. But I don't know why she didn't tell me and kept quiet..."
" Did you give her a chance? From the details, you were very rough, which might explain her reluctance."
" But she could have after that; I just don't know anymore."
" She must be scared; you are a big dude," Darren added.
" I really don't want to hear that from a guy like you. Have you looked at yourself?"
" Our business is done here. I will see you later." She simply walked out the door, and just as he expected, a few people emerged from the shadows helping her open the door.
" Don't mop around now; cheer up! If you say it was an accident, I believe you. These kinds of things are common." Darren patted his back. Honestly, he never once saw Samuel like this before, which made him believe his friend was telling the truth, at least his version of it.
" Did it ever happen to you?" Samuel asked.
" If you count her twin sister?" Darren chuckled.
" Fuck you!"
" Let's go; I will drive you home."

While inside the car, Samuel got a string of messages. Some from Arthur and his team and others from Zero. They simply told him that everything was settled, he didn't reply to them as he was still mad at them, but it was nice knowing he didn't have to face legal repercussions anymore.
" You are smiling? Did something good happen?" Darren asked.
" You can say that; I was thinking I should just leave the States and go to Paris early for movie promotion," Samuel replied.
" Paris? When?" Darren was surprised; he didn't know Samuel was going to Paris too?
pandasnovel.com " Tomorrow night, I have one more thing to do, after which I am basically free."
" Seriously? That's perfect. We can go together!"
" What? Why?"
" There is this concert I am attending in a few days with friends. With you there, I would have no problem at all!"
" Friends? How come I was not informed?" Samuel asked suspiciously.
" Alright! It's Emma and Rupert, your co-stars! They are flying with me early as they, too, are fans of this particular band." Darren spilt the beans. Samuel didn't even hear a peep from anyone of them, especially when they were set to appear for the interview together!
" Great, just great. It seems like you are much closer to them than I am!"
" What can I say? You were very busy. We didn't want to disturb you."
" Fine, I will go alone then!" Samuel crossed his arms, feeling neglected. He felt everyone was sneaking behind his back!
" NO! You can't do that! You are our ticket to the VVIP section! With you, I am sure we can take a few pictures with my goddesses!"
" Now you want me for the money? Don't you have enough of it already!" Samuel exclaimed.
" You know how little I receive from the family. If they know I am spending thousands on music festivals, my mother will kill me! She still thinks I am on a college campus!" Darren began begging him.
" You are sneaking behind Audrey's back too? Are you insane? You will get us both killed!"
" Please, please, please, It's their first international tour! I have been dying to go to one of their concerts!" Seeing his pitiful face, Samuel could only sigh.
He didn't want to push his anger on him; it sounded like something that could take his mind off of things. , Besides, he could party and drown himself in alcohol, waiting for things to die down a little. This was the only thing he could do at this point.
" Fine. We are taking my plane tomorrow night."
" Thanks, man! I will introduce you to some beauties in the city of love!" Darren laughed and started smacking his shoulder with solid force. If Samuel was an average person, he would be crying due to pain, but he simply took it with an expressionless face.
" No girls, they only seem to bring trouble to me."
" Stop being a pessimist! I am sure you will find some in unexpected places."
" Yeah, yeah."
" Hahahaha"
They drove back to his home in Beverly Hills, during which Darren kept trying to cheer him up by joking about silly things.
But when they reached his mansion, they didn't expect to find two uninvited guests waiting for them outside his home. Samuel looked closely, but he was confident, He had never seen these two people before in his life, but seeing their expensive attire, they must be rich.
Both were standing beside a supercar waiting near the gate in the shade. Darren stopped right beside them, and as soon as they saw Samuel sitting inside the car, they sorted their clothes.
" Can I help you?" Samuel got out of the car and asked. Seeing his messed-up face made them hesitate for a second.
" Yes, Mr Rothschild, we were hoping to find you here." One of them politely said.
" Man, don't be like that, Samuel, right? How come you are never home? We have been waiting here for three days in a row!" Other one said with an accent; Samuel could feel his frustration.
" Really, man? How many times have I told you to behave?"
" I am a busy man. If you have something to say, say it. I am in a bad mood today." Samuel interjected their back and forth.
" Yes, I am Istanbul, and this here is Antonio. We also live in the Beverly Hills area; we just came in to say hi, seeing as we are practically neighbours?"
" Do you know them?" Darren was getting impatient in the car. He had experienced this stuff a million times already, strangers coming on to him for favours.
" Yeah, I know them." Samuel smiled; he was very aware of their names. He had been dying to meet them, too, especially on such a bad day he would have something to use as a punching bag!
