Hollywood Zenith

" I can fix it but how are you going to explain that huge red stain on your lips?" Kate said. She was wearing bright red lipstick.

" I should go and get some tissues-" Bella who was watching up until now wanted to get away but Samuel pulled her closer.

" Don\'t worry about that. I have an idea." He didn\'t say anything just grabbed Bella hips to lift her up. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his hips so that she didn\'t fall down. Samuel pressed her against the wall and grabbed her face before starting a deep tussle with her lips.

" Wait-" Although Bella couldn\'t see Kate with Samuel blocking her vision she was afraid to show affection in front of her. On the other hand, Samuel wasn\'t that much worried not because it would hurt Kate\'s feelings because he didn\'t want Bella to be left out. Since they already did the deed, it was his responsibility to let her know where he stood with both of them.

She struggled for few second before giving in and opened her mouth to let his tongue in. He thoroughly enjoyed her plump lips before putting her down on the ground again. After their intense makeout she was red as a tomato and couldn\'t even look him in the eye.

" You know you are cute when you are angry but I like this side of you more." He leaned in and started whispering in her ear.

"But don\'t think I will let you get away like last night. The next time we meet, I will mess you up no matter who is watching so you better prepared to take it." He chuckled and smacked her ass playfully.

" Bastard- you-" Bella met Kate\'s eye who didn\'t seem to be angry like she predicted. She was smiling ear to ear looking at her blushing face.

" It\'s fixed right? Let\'s go we will be late." Samuel grabbed Kate\'s hand and left the house. Bella was left wondering what just happened but one thing was clear, she would be doing a lot of thinking tonight!

Samuel opened the door and helped Kate get inside the car. Kate was surprised to see the inside, it looked like a normal Sedan from the outside. It\'s not like it wasn\'t expensive but just looking at the interior she could tell it must had costed the same amount of money as the car itself which was crazy to think about.

She wasn\'t wrong, the windows were military grade bullet proof glass that were so thick that it said to block out parts of light spectrum along with armored doors and a isolated air system in case of any gas attack. The car was after all something that his father drove around, nothing was too excessive for the head of Rothschild family.

" You look pale, I mean even paler than usual?" Samuel asked after signalling the driver.

" It\'s just I didn\'t get much sleep last night. With everything that happened in the morning and also thinking about this event, it was hard to get a shut eye." She didn\'t expect him to notice her tiredness. It made her suspect that she wasn\'t looking as good as he told her.

" It\'s alright. Nothing to be worry about, just follow my lead and don\'t say anything no matter what they shout."

" What do you mean?"

" It\'s a hit and miss thing. If one is popular, people tend to over exaggerate their importance but when one is knee deep in a scandal, things could get ugly even for their companions." he didn\'t want to spook her with details.

" You mean the thing that happened in Paris?"

" You know about it?"

" Of course, oh right, I told Bella about your secret. I hope you don\'t mind it."

" You mean me being a member of Rothschild family and living a double life as an actor?"

" Yes."

" So that\'s why she wasn\'t freaked out seeing me with black hair?" Samuel honestly believed Bella already knew about it since Kate found out days ago through Dhia. They were best friends after all but it looked like she decided to keep it a secret probably because she cared about his privacy.

" I don\'t mind it. It\'s not like I am afraid to show off my pretty lady." he gave her a light peck on lips. She was a little nervous but instantly became happy seeing him behave as usual.

" What else did you find out about me?" He took her hand and asked playfully. He was ready to bask in praises but his expectations were severely dampened when she started pointing out what people were talking about him online.

" The most recent one was someone complaining about rich guys ruining their clubbing. Apparently they saw the fight that you had when you are with Dhai and said they were not impressed. There were no videos but the way he was describing it, I also get why he was feeling that way."

Samuel knew whoever this person was, he was just jealous because he must had impressed his girl or something. There was no way anyone could see what he did and say that it was unimpressive!

" Oh, then there are also rumours about why you decided to take arm against the corporation in Paris. They were saying things like you fancied some girl but later found out that she was going out with this guy. When he disrespected you to your face, you decided to challenge him to a duel.

Despite him surrendering, you decided to beat him up and even broke his arm which was why you were questioned at the police station for excessive force or something. That man decided to be generous and didn\'t press any charges, it was only then you were able to escape the country without any repercussions."

" What the hell?!" Samuel almost yelled out but was able to hold himself back. Where did these people even get such silly ideas?

" Anything else?" He said hiding his anger.

" Yes plenty. There were many people accusing of being a massive player. They were saying that you were using your looks to lure innocent girls and then throwing them aside when you are done with them. A lot of women that claimed to be your mistresses would write these detailed articles giving everything that you guys did. Some of them did look far-fetched but many of them seemed genuine.

People would often leave comments that supporting them in tough times often mentioning you being a man-whore." She paused and looked at his face red with fury before continuing.

" There were also rumours about you dating your co-stars. They had a lot of behind the scenes photos of you mingling with different girls to backup their claims."

" Enough! I get it. People think I am a pervert!" He stopped her before she did more damage to his mind. It was true that he was dating several girls at the same time but he never went around \'hunting\' for girls ever in his life! Did they get so jealous of his good fate that they resorted to making up shit for likes and clicks!?

" Are you upset?" She asked meekly sensing his mood change.

" No are you? It seems there is a lot of bad things floating about me on the internet." he didn\'t understand how she was more worried about him than her. Any girl would look at him with disgust if they found even half of things to be true.

" Why should I be? I know there is a lot of things speculated about you but I also know that most of it isn\'t true. I am a pretty good judge of character and know that you are not that type of person." She said it with a genuine sweet smile. Samuel didn\'t know how he got so lucky to have someone like her in his life.

" There are some truth hidden in them. Aren\'t you worried about it? I mean I never-" He was cut off because she placed her lips on his kissing him gently.

" Did that answered your question?"

" Yes." He was reminded again that he wasn\'t dealing with a shy girl here. She was a bold woman always going for what she wanted which was why he knew what was in her heart since the day he met her. It was his mistake to even judge her commitment toward him. All his bad thoughts washed away just looking at her.

" What about Bella? Did she liked my gifts? She must be bummed out because we left her at home."

" Is she a dog or something!? It\'s not like she liked the idea of going out from the first place. If she wanted to, do you think you can stop her?"

" Probably not but I can\'t deny her being overly protective about you that could place her in the same category-"

" Don\'t even dare to finish that sentence!" She exclaimed to which he just laughed out loud. The mood returned to being happy again as they slowly approached the venue.
