Because I would give it all up in a heartbeat for Nyra. She comes before anything and everyone I ever treasured. That’s how much she’s come to mean to me.

It should scare me yet it only fills me with satisfaction and contentment.

I’m pulled out of my thoughts because of the loud cheering of the crowd outside as someone announces the singing duo has arrived at the university. I, myself, feel invigorated at their excitement. But I’m even more eager to get to Nyra.

I pull my hand out of my pocket when I hear footsteps coming our way. The bodyguards positioned here go alert the second we see the Reet brothers and their team approach. Kadin and Kieran Reet are as different as day and night. It’s what leaves the audience awestruck and mesmerized when they perform in perfect harmony.

There are controversial rumors surrounding them and the most shocking is that they hate each other. There was one particular interview that sparked this news but it could have been easily manipulated. Other than the fact that they were orphans, their past is a complete mystery.

The only thing I hate about my business is the ego of some of the celebrities I’ve had to work with. They like every whim to be met and want to be treated as if the world revolves around them.

I school my features into a professional smile when Kadin—the friendliest of the two—steps forward, while Kieran lingers back with an almost bored expression. I try not to make assumptions until I’ve met them personally.

“Mr. Reet. Glad to have you and your brother here.”

“Call me Kadin,” he replies before nodding at his brother. “This is Kieran. Heard the crowd is big.”

“You have lots of eager fans.” His lips tilt into a smug grin as he nods. “My team will show you around. If you need anything, do let me know.”

“Thanks.”

Kadin smiles before greeting the other members and some even ask for his autograph. Kieran never once tries to mingle with anybody and when his manager says something, he only glares. It’s almost like he’s being forced to be here.

The second they both go away to prepare for the show, which is due to start in a few minutes, I go in search of Nyra. She said she couldn’t just leave Monica, so despite wanting her all to myself, I reluctantly agreed to let her go.

But on the condition that she watch the show from the VIP room reserved just for us.

I smile knowing she’ll regret the choice she made because, alone or not, I won’t be a gentleman.

Chapter Fifty-Two

NYRA

The sun has set but everyone’s mood around me is high and buzzing with loud cheers and hoots.

Music plays through the speakers while colorful lights blind us. The campus is unrecognizable and I never imagined our stage could look so stunning.

It hits me that it’s all because of Riaan and his team.

The past few weeks I’ve seen how much time and focus he dedicated day and night for tonight. It’s remarkable that he’s achieved this at his age. When most people are only trying to figure out what they want.

“This is freaking epic,” shouts Monica from beside me.

Both of us are in the VIP area that’s closed off from the main crowd, whom we can see below us as we stand from this height.

Apparently, there are different levels of VIP because this isn’t the place which Riaan showed me earlier. It was more private and even had a couch with a perfect view of the stage as well as a TV on the wall.

Our university obviously hasn’t spared any expenses when it came to this event. Considering how famous the duo is, I’m not surprised.

“I can’t wait to get drunk and dance my ass off,” says Monica.

“Me too!” I shout back over the music.

She’s dressed similarly to me except she’s wearing shorts instead of a skirt. It does wonders for her ass and has eyes turning left and right. She’s flirty and outgoing by nature but unlike me, she’s not interested in a serious relationship.

However, I have no doubt that when she does end up dating, she’ll create tons of ruckus in the poor guy’s life. The vision makes me laugh but he’ll be lucky to have her.

She’s one of the most loyal and loving people I know.
