Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Wilbur

I smiled as I watched Mari open a candy and put it in her mouth. She must be waiting for someone because she leaned over on her car and crossed her arms.

I could see her face clearly and I couldn't help but smile at her face. She's so beautiful.

“I miss you” I muttered and brought out my phone. I took pictures of her through my windscreen. I began to look through them and when I lifted my face, I saw that she had already stood straight and was looking towards the bank. A man was walking out and he walked straight to her and held her hand. I didn't hear what they were saying but with their expressions she was upset and he was apologizing. Who is he? I don't remember Mari having male friends or relations.

I watched as she took whatever was in his hand and entered her car. She drove away leaving the guy who now stood akimbo. He shook his head and called a taxi which took him away.

I don't think he has anything to do with her. From what I've seen, she doesn't like him.

I felt relieved at that. I wouldn't want to imagine her already being with someone else.

I smiled again and left the roadside into the road. I was headed for a photoshoot then I got a text message from a hidden number. I refused to read it because I suspected it was from those guys.

When I got to the venue of the photoshoot on the beach, everyone was looking at me. I wondered why and I decided to ask my manager. He saw me and quickly ran to me

“why is everybody looking at me?” I immediately asked

“that's why I came to you to clarify what we are hearing” he said and pulled me aside

“what is it? Tell me already” I said

“is it true you broke up with Mari?” he asked and I was taken aback. How did they know?

“is it true you broke up with Mari two weeks ago and you already have a new lover who you had dinner with yesterday?” he asked again and I didn't answer because I was dumbfounded

“oh my goodness! You did. It's true. You broke up with her!” he said aloud and unfortunately everyone heard. I glared at him and walked away from him. He ran after me

“Will why did you do it? You loved that girl” he said and I stopped in my tracks. I looked back at him and gave him a hard look

“we'll talk about this later” he whispered. I exhaled and went to change so the photoshoot would begin.

Throughout the shoot, everyone's eyes kept asking me questions their mouths couldn't ask. My face wasn't smiling so those who could have mustered up courage didn't. When the shoot was over, I gently slipped away and entered my car. I took my phone and read the message I ignored earlier

seen the post yet? Just in case you haven't, here it is. We figured out your fans should know about the new development in your life

I tapped the link and it took me to a blog post that said : The famous actor and model known as Wilbur Sanders, is well known because of his romance movies, good looks and striking resemblance with his identical sister #WiniRed (although science proved it almost impossible for opposite gender twins to be identical, he and his sister proved science wrong). Months ago he had opened up about being in love and in a serious relationship with #Marigold_Cruz which got lots of people talking about how befitting they both are to each other. However, Sanders has broken the hearts of WilGold shippers as he puts an end to their relationship. Eye witnesses at a five star restaurant where he broke up with her have provided us with pictures and a recording of what he said the night he broke up with her.

“oh my God” I exclaimed as I went through the pictures. Truly it was that night. The pictures of her palming her face and crying were all there, how I walked out on her too. Even the recording of what I said to her.

Why would they do this to me? Did they add a recorder to the table? I think so. That's definitely what they did.

“God” I muttered and rested my head on the steering wheel, I didn't want to read the remaining part of the post. I closed my eyes and wondered how I was going to get out of the mess I had put myself into.

Someone tapped on my window and I looked up. My manager. I exhaled and opened the door

“what is it?” I asked him

“I didn't know there were lots of supporters of WilGold” he said

“what do you mean?” I asked

“uhm, maybe you should go online. Especially Twitter and Instagram” he said. I stared at him as if to understand what he just said

“come on, check it” he said. I exhaled again and brought my phone up I went online and the first thing I noticed was the drastic fall in my followers on Instagram

“what the!”

Then posts about fans venting their anger on me, calling me a player and all that.

Wilbur Sanders is such a player. I hate him for those mean words he said to her

I never believed Wilbur Sanders could hurt a fly, but he made Marigold Cruz cry. Guys did you see how weak she was? She really loved him

if I was Marigold Cruz, I'd knead his balls for breaking my heart

I don't think I can be his fan anymore. I loved him because of his chemistry with her.

I hate you Wilbur Sanders! Because of you, my boyfriend broke up with me. It's because I used to tell him to be like you and love me like you love Mari. He broke up with me because you broke up with her.

he already replaced her? So soon? Is he a player?

guys I heard he has had five exes over the last two years and he has been the one breaking up with them. He can't keep a woman. He's the opposite of the characters he always portrays in his movies and dramas

he might be gay. Come to think of it, he acts too much like a girl

“you should definitely stop reading further” my manager said and collected my phone

“if this keeps trending, you might completely loose your reputation” he said

“Wilbur are you okay?” he asked when I didn't reply him

“yeah” I managed to reply. I wasn't okay actually, I was thinking of what next they'd do to bring me down. What if they release what they have against me. I'd be completely finished!
