The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

The day the theater troupe scheduled its last show to be on finally arrived. These past few days, Randall had tried all his possible best to get me to be involved in his

experiments.

To counter his plan, I soaked myself in chilly water for hours till I came down with a bad fever and cold.

Randall had sent his men to check up on me and when they gave him feedback, he came to visit me as confirmation.

I didn't relax until this day arrived. Making myself sick gave me less time to practice the performance I would present to the public. I didn't mind that sacrifice. I was just going to try my best in that regard and leave the rest to God.

The whole area the theater troupe rented as a temporary home was bustling with activity.

There was a very huge space at the back of the territory the theater troupe temporarily occupied. The huge space had been decorated and furnished.

The audience seats and everything else was beautiful.

The show had already started by three in the afternoon. I was in the backstage area with Angelo and the other people that were preparing to perform.

The cheers from the audience echoed loudly. Their noise could be heard from the backstage area.

Another loud applause rang out throughout the venue and the next performer was due to go on stage.

This performer was a woman.

The lady smiled before leaving. It was a pity that I would not be able to see what her performance was.

The other performance I wanted to see badly was the one Angelo was to present.

Although I had seen him practice a little bit in the dorm room, it was still different somehow.

Within minutes, the lady was back.

Angelo was next.

He nodded at me before going on stage.

My brain used the sounds coming from the stage to imagine how those performances looked.

"Item number 20 is going to come on stage now." The loudspeakers at the venue said.

I was the 20th item. Angelo returned with beads of sweat on his head. His eyes were shining brightly. I don't know why many people joined this theater troupe but I could see a clear fact. Angelo was truly happy here.

I love that for him. I smiled in his direction before moving the curtains that led to the main stage.

Fortunately, the item I would present to the audience wasn't a complicated one. It was a simple dance with light singing.

My performance tells the story of a wife that was dumped by her husband because he wanted greater connections and wealth.

I wasn't really an actor or a performance so I knew my presentation was going to be on the medium side. Still, I made sure I enjoyed every bit of it.

I danced with all my heart and might.

These few minutes were precious.

At this moment, I was allowed to not think of anything. I didn't have to beat myself up because I couldn't see Killian. I didn't have to think about the cursed anklet on my leg.

There was no need to think about the deal with Morgan. I don't have to worry about Randall's interest in me. The urge to think about Madam Tayo and Mr Blake temporarily disappeared.

My brain didn't think about the other enemies I have made. At this very moment, everything was fine.

Although I wanted my performance to go on for as long as possible, my wishes would sadly not be realized.

Finally, my performance came to an end. Sweat formed on my skin. I was breathing heavily.

The lower part of my stomach clenched repeatedly. The strain I put on myself in these past few minutes was huge. My eyes scanned the audience seat with a smile.

Numerous people were clapping and showing their excitement. It felt good to be appreciated.

Suddenly, my eyes landed on someone familiar.

The moment I saw her, our eyes collided. It was clear that her gaze had been on me for

an unknown amount of time. The person that was staring at me with an unknown gaze was Madam Tayo.

Goosebumps rose on my skin.

My heart started banging against my ribcage like it wanted to come out of me. Breathing became an impossible task.

My palms became cold and more beads of sweat started pouring out of my skin. I blinked rapidly.

I wished I was seeing something wrong.

Still, no matter how I blinked, Madam Tayo still remained in her seat.

She was even clapping rapidly. My brain was working at its fastest speed.

What was Madam Tayo doing here?

How did she find this theater troupe? I couldn't focus properly.

I didn't want to face her now.

It would even be best if we have no intersection with each other till the end of our lives. My eyes glanced at my anklet.

Fortunately, I was wearing a long skirt that hid my ankles from view. If I had been wearing any short outfit, my pretense would have crumbled to the ground long ago.

Still, I don't know if Madam Tayo had seen the anklet when I was dancing. In those past few minutes, I let myself go completely and she could have noticed something.

The anklet wasn't gone yet and it was a way for her to identify me. The anklet was the fastest way to reveal my real identity.

I bowed towards the audience before going backstage.

The next person was called and she went upstage.

I didn't care. My body was still cold and the goosebumps on my skin refused to go away.

"Morgan, why are you pale?" Angelo called before walking over to where I stood.

"You know I told you I escaped from a brothel." My eyes wanted to lose focus.

I forcefully pulled myself together.

"Yes, you said something like that." Angelo concurred.

"Well, the madam of this particular brothel is in the audience seat and she had been staring at me like she knows something." I revealed my suspicions in a rush. "What?" Angelo's mouth dropped open.

I don't want to see her and I don't want to face her yet. Since I am done with my performance, can I go back to our dormitory room." I looked

as Angelo with hope.

My hopes were dashed.

"Sorry, you would not be able to do that. After everyone has presented their performance to the audience, we will all show up one last time before the show would officially come to a close. Showing up is a requirement." Angelo sighed.

My hand landed on my head. I could feel a migraine forming.

No.

Why did this theater troupe do things like that? Why are they forcing people to show

up one last time after each person have finished their performanc?

I was just throwing blame everywhere.noveldrama

Everything felt like it was pressing down on me.

Suddenly, one of the people that had performed before me walked towards me. I

looked at her with a question in my eyes.

"Someone is looking for you." The lady said.

I was taken aback.

I didn't know much people in this city or this world as a whole. Besides, if Randall or

boss snake sought for my presence, this lady would have mentioned their names.

I wasn't that familiar with the rest of people in this theater troupe. The person that was looking for me had to be a guest.

Furthermore, if it was the police woman that investigated Morgan's case, this lady would have mentioned it too.

Something was very fishy.

"Who is it?" The question was sharp.

The lady shrugged, "Well, she said her name is Madam Tayo."

My eyes darkened for a second.

What?!
