“What do we do now?” Lennon asked, still trying to get some personal space and finally getting it, when Maya noticed how suspicious they looked and the cameras pointed at them.
“Run and wait for someone to call you, because you must have a mana.....”
Speak of the devil and he will show up, that’s exactly what happened, well not exactly, nobody showed up but someone called, the phone they have rang and the caller id is husband’s manager.
They now know the owner of the phone, it’s Maya and she has to answer, because the person has been calling for the past ten minutes now, and as she was about to pick up, Noah told her he has to go to the bathroom, saving her in the process from the possible embarrassment, that’s going to occur when answering the call from someone she doesn’t know, so she told Lennon to answer as she ran away with Noah, not ready to have any confrontations.
Lennon sighed and answered, but before he could say anything, his ears were blasted by a loud voice, screaming at him or rather at Maya.
“You ungrateful bitch! I told you to never reveal your relationship with him or show that child of yours, you are destroying his career! And I will make sure that yours won’t survive either, I kept the secret of you cheating and stealing but now, you will see.” The manager hang up, as Lennon was staring into distance, shocked and amazed by how dramatic this is, realizing that their life wasn’t going to be easy.
When Maya returned, the both of them, decide to flee from the place, before getting attacked by paparazzi and fans, but it was too late, because as soon as they walked out of the café, cameras flashed in their faces and reporters asking them questions about their relationship and Noah; Maya held Noah as fast as she could, hiding his face in her shoulder, so he doesn’t get destroyed in the crowd and get his face recognized, while also looking down to hide her own face. Lennon tried to protect them as much as he could, pushing through the crowd and hugging Maya sideways, to protect her.
As they reached the car, Lennon opened the door for Maya then hurriedly went to the driver’s seat, as some reporters were banging on the window, scaring Noah in the process, they had to get away as fast as they can.
“We messed up.” Maya said, tightly hugging the shivering Noah, as she told him it was okay and that nothing happened.
“Really badly.” Lennon added, sighing and thinking of their next step on how to fix this. If he had the choice, he would quit being a celebrity, because it’s not something he is really passionate about, but the original person must me under a contract so he can’t possibly that, at least not until he talked to someone, like that angry manager.
Once they reached home, Maya stayed with Noah in the living room, to calm him down and watch tv with him, to make him forget about what happened, while Lennon went to their bedroom, to try and find anything useful for them.
A few hours later, Lennon went downstairs, to find Noah sleeping in Maya’s lap while she was taking pictures of him. He tapped on her shoulder and gestured her to follow him to the kitchen; she carefully put Noah’s head on a pillow and followed Lennon.
“What is it?” Maya whispered softly, to not disturb Noah’s nap.
“I found something, things actually. Information about the couple and their life, it took me a while to read everything and understand everything but I will summarize it for her, they are both scumbags who didn’t care about Noah, Lennon Freya, aka me, aka the husband, is a superstar who only cared about his fame and money, Maya Freya, aka you, aka the wife, cheated on her husband with different guys and will use the money her husband gave her, to spend on their child, on herself and neglected him, leaving him alone in the house, with little to no food and no source of love, while the husband was ignoring the fact that his son was malnourished and neglected, because he was busy in his job and being an actor and everything.” Lennon said and even though, he said a lot, that didn’t cover half of the things those two did to Noah, or the misery he was living.
“What a horrible couple, one beats the other to how bad they are.” Maya commented, bitter in the heart, wanting to kill that Maya and that Lennon because they were the ones who did this, if they can’t be responsible enough to have a child, why have it in the first place? Use protection!
“I forgot to mention, the wife only got pregnant to have him marry her, she only married the husband for his money. They were having an affair and since the husband cared about his reputation, he married her, to shut her up and hide them in this house, never revealing anything to the public.” Lennon said, making everything clear for Maya.
“Well, that explains everything.” Maya rolled her eyes, on how cliché this is, every male lead backstory is the same, but why does Noah have to suffer for a stupid female lead to heal him when he is older? Why can’t he have a normal childhood like everyone else? When reading the stories, she always feel bad for the characters that have that kind of life, it makes her cry and want to do something about it, this time she can and she will. “What now?” She asked, all she want to do is take care of Noah but they have to take care of the scandal they created, to give Noah the best environment to grow up in.
“I made a plan. My file has everything, I can go to the company and explain everything to them, make some excuses and give some lies, since nobody knows about this other than the manager. You stay here with Noah and whatever you do, don’t get out.” Lennon said and Maya nodded, finding the best solution for now.
Before he left, he gave her, the wife’s purse and phone, he found in the bedroom, so that if Noah gets hungry, she can order take out. “Good luck.” Maya said, at the entrance, smiling at him, as he smiled back and thanked her.
Lennon got the location to the company, he is working under, from the internet, and as he parked the car, he looked for the entrance when he suddenly heard someone bang on the car’s window, it was a girl, screaming at him for cheating on her, making him realize that news ran faster than electricity, so the news about his wife and son is already out, and made him also think that he had a girlfriend, that he didn’t know about and lied to, while in fact the girl was merely a fan, who felt entitled to Lennon, as if she owned him and he was her boyfriend. As he was about to step out of the car and apologize to her for apparently cheating on her; two men in a black suit walked up to the car, and told the lady to step away before they use force
Lennon theory came out to be true, because as soon as Noah woke up, he sleepily rubbed his eyes and told Maya he was hungry, while requesting a hug, by extending his arms towards her. She picked him up and gave him a kiss, she walked to the kitchen, where she left her phone and purse, that she have been going through for quite a while now, since Noah was asleep. "What did you like to eat?" Maya asked, she already searched the internet for any close by takeout restaurant and their are plenty of them. "Burger!" Noah said with enthusiasm, throwing his hands in the air, his eyes lighting up, remembering how delicious his friends made it sound.
Noah ended up sleeping, after a few minutes of her singing, she kissed his head and carried him, to her and Lennon bedroom, since she didn't know any other rooms and didn't want to bother him by her moving around, as she already bothered him by carrying him. As she walked down the stairs, she saw Lennon struggling at the door, with a million of bags in his hands, so she quickly went to help and criticize his technique of carrying things. "Why not carry them one by one?" "Because there are a lot and I am tired, you try getting screamed at by five old men and angry middle aged woman, then chased around by girls for forty minutes." Lenno
After their emotional moment, Lennon decide to cheer up the mood, by telling his wife and son he bought a board-game, that they can play right now; Noah excitedly jumped on his bed, then got carried away by Lennon on his back, downstairs while Maya followed behind them with equal cheerfulness. Playing together, gave them so much laughter and fun, excluding the few times Lennon and Maya fought, calling each other cheaters when the other wins, while Noah was having the best time of his life. At one point, Maya had enough and got up, acting irritated and fuming with angry, while in reality, she only got up to leave room for Noah to play and for her to make dinner, since it's 8 pm.
Two months and a half later, Maya was making breakfast for Lennon and Noah, while the both of them were sleeping together, in Noah's room; time passed quickly, quicker than Maya thought, these two past months have been fun, Noah is a sweet boy and is really helpful all the time, he makes hard for her to take care of him, but she can notice the difference between that day and today, he smiles more and has a bright auto around him, he also gained a lot of weight, he is no longer like a stick, he is slowly transforming to a cute panda and she full support that, since for her, chubby kids are the best kids. Everything has been normal these past few weeks, if you exclude their morning routine, Lennon occasional odd behaviors and the death threats she has been getting from 'fans', who didn't believ
While on the road, they occasionally stopped to get a snack, thinking that it will have no harm on the mission; not knowing, this mere act of his, will be the cause of proving Maya's innocence and getting her out of the problem, they will create, to drag her down. Maya's luck that day was through the roof, thanks to something or someone called Nova, because Lennon's call went through and the phone was answered, giving him access to find her, but it was too late when he did. The person arranging everything, glanced at his phone, looking at the clock, 'it's time for her to wake.' He thought as he looked at the camera, whe
She did as told, slowly walking through the hallways, noticing the clock pointing at 12 am, she didn't notice three hours passing, but guess it happens when your head is empty and you have no thoughts, whatsoever. "How did you get me out?" Maya whispered to Lennon, as they walked out of the police station. He didn't respond, he only bowed to two people waiting at the door and told her to do the same. "It's nothing, we are glad to help." A woman said with a smile, then walked away with her partner. "Let's go." Lennon held her
The next morning, they woke up to every news channel covering the matter, talking about her being Lennon's friends and how disgusting she is for what she did; everyone thought she was in prison because of last night, thinking that nobody came to her rescue, not even Lennon. Noah didn't know about the whole matter and they wanted to keep it that way, so as soon as he woke up, they turned off the tv and acted like nothing happened. They don't want to expose him to another world of prison and accusions, he is too young for that, even though he will be four in a week. They found out about his birthday when they sear
