Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Waterfront Hotel was one of Apliaria’s fanciest hotels. It was only six o’clock, and dusk was already approaching. There were several luxury cars parked at the open parking lot in front of the hotel. Media reporters were holding cameras at the entrance of the hotel. It was quite a lively spectacle. Nowadays, the Salazar family was different from what they used to be. During the past few years, it became part of the upper class of society.

They became rich and powerful. Moreover, Susan was now Victor’s fiancee. Thus, when people heard that she was going to host a birthday party, all the young men and women from the upper class of Apliaria’s society tried their best to gain an invitation to her birthday party “I’ve heard that the Salazar family are about to announce something important today. Do you know what it is?”

 Outside the hotel, the reporters were waiting for the birthday girl to arrive and whispering amongst each other. 

“An important thing, huh? What else could be more important than announcing that Susan and Victor are getting married? I’m sure that the Salazar family are going to use Susan’s party to announce that she and Victor are about to get married,” someone replied.

 “Really?

A distant relative of mine that works for the Sullivan Group mentioned that employees of the company said that their engagement have been canceled,” said another.

 “Are you kidding me? Didn’t news of their upcoming marriage just break out a few days ago?” 

“Yes, but I didn’t think it’ll happen. Susan and Victor have been engaged for three years, but they still haven’t gotten married. It’s not entirely impossible for their engagement to be canceled. Besides, I heard that on Susan’s most recent interview, her agent screened questions about Victor in advance.The agent wouldn’t allow the reporters to ask such questions!”

“Miss Salazar is here!” shouted someone from the crowd. 

The reporters having a heated discussion cheered up and glanced at a certain direction. A Bentley arrived and stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Not long after, well-trained bodyguards who had been waiting for Susan at the hotel appeared. They used their bodies to clear a path for her. The reporters pointed their cameras towards the rear door of the Bentley. All of her fans who had been waiting for her to arrive screamed with excitement, and the crowd went wild.

Meanwhile, inside the car, Becky averted her gaze from the window and turned her attention to Susan. Then, she patted Susan’s shoulder and said, “Everything will be okay after today. I’ve already arranged everything. Tomorrow, you’ll be joining a theater group. And once you become part of the group, no matter what happens, don’t give a damn about any of it! All you need to do is to focus on shooting. We’ll deal with everything else.” 

People outside the car were speculating that Susan and Victor were intending to announce their marriage. But unbeknownst to them, they were actually going to announce the cancellation of their engagement.

Susan wasn’t talking much throughout the entire journey, Becky could tell that she wasn’t feeling well. That was why she tried to comfort her. Susan nodded in response,
