Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (Jaxon)

JAXON! JAXON! That’s all I could hear the crowd cheering. I am always nervous when I am about to perform in front of my fans. I know they adore me.

After all, I am the most handsome man in the world.

But whenever I am on stage, I feel like I am 21 once again and I just get lost in one thing. That’s my music. I want to achieve more and more in this. I know I am famous, and I have to travel all over the world to record my albums, but I still enjoy it.

Being famous is never easy, I am always there in the media attention which sometimes helps in my song promotion. Sometimes, if I am performing with an actress and my fans starts making those short clips go viral which spreads the rumors that I am dating that actress. My manager thinks that before my music videos get released I have to be seen with the lead actress so that I could get more views.

She thinks that my aging is going to affect my fan following but I am only thirty and age has nothing to do with my voice and my passion for singing. I personally don’t like this idea of stage-relationship but yes, I am getting fame, earning millions, that’s what I always wanted.

Besides, almost all the women in the world are in love with me that’s what a man wants in life. Right?

“Jax? It’s time.” I heard my manager, Ursala. A woman in her mid-forties. She is a good friend but still she can be a pain in ass sometimes.

I went on the stage only to be greeted by the warm gaze of my Kleinians. I begin the concert and got lost in my own music while playing electric guitar.

I closed my eyes remembering my struggles when I entered this field of music, how travelling became overwhelming, how I was blamed for nepotism once since I belong to the mighty Klein Family, which is the second most influential family after the Ashtons.

But I overcome everything, I became an ideal for women and young girls who love me, and I respect their love for me, I became inspirations for young boys who wants to be a singer like me. At the end, I have everything which I wanted from life for myself.

But the moment, I opened my eyes, my eyes met with a pair of dark brown orbs. Those big brown almond-shaped eyes. My heart skipped a beat and started beating faster. I have never been captivated towards the eyes of a woman like this.

Goddess.

That was the first word that left my lips when I saw her.

Who is that woman in the purple shrug? Who is she? She broke the eye contact when someone bumped into her but that didn’t stopped me from staring her. She is a goddess, her silky black hair, high cheek bones, her killer smile, her golden-brown skin tone and her big brown eyes are everything.

Eyes that feel familiar.

Even though, she wasn’t talking but her eyes were saying everything. I could see that there is so much pain hidden in them. I wanna take away her pain. I saw her smiling at a cute little girl in a purple frock. Is she her daughter?

She was really cheering me on, which made me smile. Children especially little girls, holds a really special place in my heart because their love is really pure and it encourages me to work even harder to bring smile on those faces.

That little girl seemed to got a little upset and told something to my Goddess. But I know how to make that little girl happy. I removed my jacket purposely threw the jacket towards them.

That little Munchkin caught it and squealed happily.

My Goddess was shocked. I knew she wasn’t expecting it and neither was I that I will be bewitched by a woman in my concert. I had to do something to get her attention. But my attention was at the little girl in her arms, who was thanking me for the jacket.

 I came near her and ruffled her hair. Automatically, a smile formed on my face and felt instant connection to that little girl. She reminded me of someone, someone I lost years ago. My eyes met with that Goddess once again. She smiled at me for the first time and it was a generous smile, a thank you smile.

……………………………………………………………………

My concert ended and I went back to backstage. My manager came in with a stern expression. “Your concert went well but you seemed distracted for a while.”

Yes, I was distracted but she seems to say it like it is a bad thing.

“Ursala, cut me some slack. The performance went really well and it’s gonna be all over social media tomorrow morning. Now, if you excuse me, I have a fan signing ceremony to attend.” I walked passed her with my bodyguard, Taylor.

“She seemed pissed for some reason.” He handed me a bottle of water.

“When is she not?” I rolled my eyes and he chuckled.

“Boss, why don’t you fire her because she is making you do stuff which you don’t want to do?”

I know Ursala can get to your nerves, but she was the only one who believed in me when no one else did. Yes, her tactics are wrong, but I am dealing with her out of respect. Besides, whatever she did has always been in my favor.

“Because it takes a lot of effort to find a new manager.” I winked at Taylor who just shook his head in disbelief.

“Taylor? Did you saw that girl in the purple shrug?”

“The one who was carrying a little girl in her arms.” He asked.

I nodded.

“Oh yes, such a cute mother and daughter duo.” He smiled which made worried for a while. What if my Goddess is a married woman?

Nooo.

It can’t be.

“Don’t jump on assumptions, Taylor. My Goddess, um I mean that woman can’t be married. Anyways, I need all the information about that woman in an hour.” I gave him back the bottle and Taylor just smirked because that fucker knows that why am I asking for this.

I sat at the table and fans started coming towards me for autographs and giving me gifts. I interacted with each one of them, but my eyes were searching for that one certain dark-haired woman. It has been two hours since the fan signing event begun. But there is no sign of my Goddess and my little munchkin.

As I was about to lose hope, I heard the most soothing voice present in this world. “Hi?”

I looked up and saw her. Yes, my Goddess and my little munchkin holding my jacket. I got lost in her beautiful eyes.

“I hope we are not late for the fan signing.” She said it in a really polite and professional tone which makes me think that what will she sound like when she gets riled up or when she will be under…

Ahem, ahem, snap out of it Jaxon.

“Um, Sir.” She snapped her fingers in front of bringing me out of my imagination.

“Oh hi! No! You are not late. Your just in time. We still have an hour for the fan signing event.” What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I speaking so nervously?

“Oh cool!” She smiled. Then, she whispered to the little girl with her.

“Baby, look your favourite singer is right in front of you. Won’t you say hi?” She said in the most calming and patient voice which is making want her even more.

I looked at the little girl and smiled. “Hello Little one, what’s your name?”

“My name is Mia. Mia Marshall.” She said cutely.

“Nice to meet you, Mia. You are really beautiful.” I shook hands with her and she smiled brightly.

“This is my Kiki.” She pointed towards my Goddess who just chuckled at her response.

“Hi, I am Kiara Marshall. Mia’s Auntie but she loves calling me Kiki.” She forwarded her hand and I took it immediately. Suddenly, we both felt a spark and she just took her hand away.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Marshall.” I smiled.

So, they are niece and Auntie duo. How cute. I want to know more about them now. I don’t know why but I feel some special connection with them.

Mia handed me a beautiful handmade card and some baked cookies basket. “This is for you, Sir.” I smiled and accepted her sweet gesture of love.

“Thank you so much, Mia. But you don’t have to call me, Sir. Call me Jax just like everyone does.”

“Okay, Jax.” She giggled while her Kiki just smiled at her lovingly. Why is she so beautiful?

She looked at me and I cleared my throat. I talked to Mia about her likes and she told me that how much loves my singing. Meanwhile, I signed a shirt, her diary and put those things in a hamper with other stuff for her.

“Jax? Can I ask you a question?” She said in an uncertain tone.

“You can ask me two questions, Sweetheart.” I ruffled her and handed her the hamper which Kiara took with a smile.

“Will you go on a date with me?” She asked cutely. Her cheeks became red. But my eyes went on my Goddess who just became a red tomato.

“Mia, we don’t ask such questions.” Kiara said in a warning tone. “I am really sorry, Mr. Klein.”

“It’s fine, Ms. Marshall.” I looked at Kiara slightly gesturing her to not to scold Mia.

“I would love to go on a date with you, Mia but I am too old for you and you will get bored.” I smiled.

“Yeah, you are right.” She pouted sadly but not for long. “I have an idea.”

“And what is it?” I said trying to match her enthusiasm.

“Why don’t you date my Kiki?” She said bluntly and I saw Kiara choking on dry air in her throat.

“She is single, independent and extremely beautiful. You two would make a really hot couple.” She continued.

“Mia!” She cried. “I am really sorry about it, Sir. I really don’t know where all of this coming from. I will definitely explain to her that—”

“I would love to date your Kiki.” I blurted looking at Kiara.

“What?” Kiara blurted.

“Really?” Mia squealed.

“Yes, I don’t deny my fans wishes, Ms. Marshall.” I made an eye contact with Kiara who was still in a trance of what’s happening.

Of course, I would love to take Kiara on a date and Mia doesn’t know that she just made my work easy to win her Kiki’s heart. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I usually don’t do this type of stuff, but I can’t let this opportunity of knowing my Goddess go waste. Even if it’s just one date, I don’t care, I still want this chance.

“Mr. Klein, you don’t have to actually have to do that. I will explain this to Mia—”

“Ms. Marshall, I mean it. Meet me backstage in a while, there are people waiting for me right now, but we will definitely talk about it. See you soon, Goddess.” I cut her off and she just simply nodded, leaving with Mia.

I could see her pupils dilated which clearly shows me that she is attracted to me but what I am unable to understand is that what is actually holding her back.

I need to know this woman at all costs.

Hello, my dear Kassians,

That's all for today. I will try my best to update this story regularly here.

If you came from Wattpad or my Instagram then, you will know that I have decided to write Rachel and Maximus who are Kiara's dead sister and brother-in-law story as well. The novel's name is Ruinous Obsession and it's not going to be a long novel but since many of you have shown interest them so I decided to write them as well.
