Miles away from Zara’s home, the whole concert stadium is in uproar.
The crowd screamed and jumped with exhilaration and excitement, shaking the place.
Everyone started singing songs along with their idols and the magic is in the air, capturing all the souls.
“Rock it everybody.”
Sebastian Wild shouted and the crowd went crazy with screams, claps and whistles.
The faces of the band members lit brightly just like their band name Lit The World(LTW).
The loud screams of their fans gave them enormous energy and they started dancing like they are born to do that.
Nothing in the world gives them such pleasure than their fans happiness and right now everything they see is mesmerising.
Each and every person present in the stadium loves them so much and they only have eyes for them.
The members stopped dancing and took a moment to look at the people around them with so much gratitude and love.
They worked hard and trained for years to be on the stage and every hardship they boarded is worth it.
Amidst their overwhelming moment, Sebastian spotted an old lady who is shouting his name in the crowd near the stage.
When she saw him staring at her, she got excited and blew him kisses with tears in her eyes.
Sebastian smiled at her and jumped down the stage without second thought.
The camera captured his actions and displayed it on the big screen and the crowd went wild with dopamine.
“Sebasty!”
“Sebasty!”
They chanted his name while he ran towards the old lady without waiting for the guards and jumped over the crowd control barriers.
The security team and his personal bodyguards almost had a heart attack to see him run to the fans without their protection.
They immediately took action and tried to stop him but he was faster.
His band mates Fredrick Smith, George Grover and Simon Reynolds shouted enthusiastically at his actions.
Well, Sebastian was born to break the rules though.
They didn’t get mad at him and on the contrary continued singing with more intensity.
In the crowd, when the old lady saw Sebastian standing in front of her, she cried and hugged him, thanking him from the bottom of her heart for risking his safety for her.
All the fans surrounded him, taking selfies and videos and the naughty Sebastian posed to all the cameras, grinning from ear to ear but their happiness didn’t last for long as his bodyguards took him away.
Sebastian ignored the angry bodyguards and looked at the people behind him and winked at them with a mischievous grin.
He didn’t want his fans to feel sad for not getting his photos so even though he’s being dragged towards the stage, he still posed to their cameras.
Finally after an hour of performing, they ended the concert with a heartfelt speech before retreating to their respective rooms but as soon as they went to the backstage, they met their manager who looked calm but they knew that she’s boiling inside and the reason….everyone turned to Sebastian.
“You are going to meet Mr. Gibbs.”
Diana Burch spoke, her voice stern and her eyes kept glaring at Sebastian who is wiping his sweat with the towel.
The band mates looked at him in pity because Spark Gibbs is the chairman of the agency they’re working for and he is very strict with the rules.
He warned them all the time to follow his rules but Sebastian never took his words into his mind and he got scolded and grounded for that a lot.
This is not the first time Sebastian ran to his fans during concerts but this time Mr. Gibbs strictly forbid him from crossing the line.
It seems like Sebastian is going to have a tough night ahead because Mr. Gibbs is here to meet him which means he flew here right after hearing the news about Sebastian from Ms. Burch.
Sebastian exhaled sharply and looked at Diana but she didn’t utter a word and gestured him to get ready for the meeting.
Sebastian cursed under his breath and assured his mates to not worry about him before going into the dressing room to change his clothes.
“Don’t take his words to heart.”
Frederick who is waiting outside spoke softly after spotting Sebastian coming out and squeezed his shoulder, telling him silently to keep his calm.
Sebastian nodded and hugged his mate briefly before following Diana out.
“Where is he?”
He asked as soon as they got into the car and plugged his ears with earphones.
“He is waiting for you in a restaurant.”
Ms. Burch spoke indifferently from the passenger seat and gestured driver to start the car.
Sebastian closed his eyes with a sigh and leaned back, getting himself ready for the taunts from Mr. Gibbs.
Did he really fuck up this time?
But he didn’t do anything wrong.
“You really pissed him this time.”
Ms. Burch softened her tone, looking at tired Sebastian from the mirror.
“There is nothing wrong in giving that old lady a memory to remember forever.”
He played soothing music and tried to sleep as he is really tired of all this shit.
He wished to fly away to a place where no one can recognize him, so that he can live happily without being controlled.
“But that’s very dangerous Sebasty.”
Diana reasoned but seeing his sleepy face, she stayed quiet.
She didn’t want to talk more as it only stimulates his emotions.
The driver stopped the car at the hotel’s entrance in which she is staying and she got down as Mr. Gibbs wants to meet Sebastian alone.
Before leaving she warned Sebastian to behave in front of Spark Gibbs but he turned a deaf ear to her warning.
The car drove smoothly for two hours followed by security guards and Sebastian drifted into deep slumber because of the soothing music and the car swaying movements.
When they reached the destination, the driver parked the car and woke up Sebastian.
Almost six bodyguards who were dressed casually including Sebastian’s personal manager, Lucien entered the small restaurant.
Sebastian went straight to the middle aged man who sat at one of the two sitter dining tables which are attached to the wall and are divided by partitions and sat opposite him while the others occupied different tables to avoid attention.
The restaurant had private seating sections with partitions which gave it a classy look and it allows the customers, especially couples to protect their privacy.
Mr. Gibbs chose this place because it’s his favourite and he wants to test Sebastian’s patience.
He just performed in a concert for hours and badly wants to take a shower and rest but the young boy needs to be taught a lesson.
Travelling after a tiresome show with sweat dripping body and aching muscles must be irritating just like how he irritates the agency with his irrational actions.
Sebastian ignored the glares of the chairman and poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down in one go.
For god sake, he had nothing after the concert and is starving but the old man has to choose this time to meet him.
What a hideous man?
After quenching his thirst, Sebastian finally faced the furious Spark Gibbs but there is no fear in his eyes.
“I know I broke your rules but I am not guilty.”
He spoke with arrogance and stretched his hands trying to relax his stiff muscles.
Mr. Gibbs gritted his teeth and tapped his foot continuously on the floor, trying to control his anger but his eyes never faltered from the boy who is not admitting his mistakes.
“You are not performing in this tour anymore.”
He said and watched as Sebastian’s face turned ashen.
He knows about the boy’s weakness very well.
Among the band members, Sebastian loves to interact with his fans the most.
He always wants to have concerts all over the world and he would never get tired being an idol.
Grounding him and scolding him will not make him suffer so Spark Gibbs chose this way.
Stripping him away from his fans and his dreams.
A little separation would teach him how to behave and to follow the rules.
Sebastian couldn’t believe what he is hearing and leaned forward, his eyes burning with flames.
“No way.”
He clenched his fists on the table, trying his best to keep his rage under control.
Spark smirked as he hit the nail and straightened his collar.
“You should’ve obeyed the rules.”
“She is an old lady. What’s wrong with giving her a best memory?”
Sebastian tried to reason with him but Spark isn’t convinced.
His priority is to keep his idols safe and Sebastian’s wilful reckless actions would have harmed him.
“If you want to give memories to all your fans, you will have to spend a life time.”
“What will you say to the media?”
The media will definitely ask the agency about him if they didn’t see him perform.
There is no way they’ll shut him down.
“I can take care of that, just stay indoors. This is your last warning Sebastian. If you cross my word, you’ll face the consequences.”
Mr. Gibbs stood up after warning him and left the place with his men.
Left alone, Sebastian didn’t move from his place and sat there dispirited.
He wants to shout out loud and scream his worries away but he can’t.
He can’t be exposed in a public restaurant.
“Let’s go.”
Lucien who is sitting behind, walked to him and gestured him to leave but he shook his head.
“Can we stay here a little bit more?”
Sebastian asked, his voice tired and soft.
Sensing his exhaustion, Lucien agreed and texted the bodyguards to wait for ten more minutes and stood beside him without a word.
The young boy went through so much to be here and Mr. Gibbs’s punishment is too cruel.
It’s wrong of Sebastian to forsake his safety but forbidding him to perform in the world tour is definitely harsh.
Sebastian lowered his head with hunched back and drooped shoulders.
His heart felt like it is being squeezed and he felt suffocated thinking about his punishment.
All he ever wanted in his life is to be on stage.
To sing for the people, to dance for his fans but from tomorrow he can’t do that.
Though it’s just few concerts, still it’s haunting him.
He remembered his struggles and pain he went through to get here.
His parents didn’t want him to be an idol as they have their own business which is an automobile company, Wild Motors.
They wanted him to take over the company because his elder brother, Nicholas Wild started a gymnastics school.
His brother chose his own path and their parents started rubbing their interests on him.
He can’t ignore their wishes so he studied hard to be a part of the company but he never stopped his training sessions of dancing and singing.
Seeing his determination, his parents didn’t want to force him into something he hates, so they sent him to attend the auditions.
After failing many times, he finally joined a renowned music agency that is Gibbs Music whic brought up many bands and solo artists.
He was thirteen when he started training under Gibbs Music with the other three band mates.
After four years of intense hardwork they made it to the debut.
They got more popularity with each passing year and bagged many awards along with billions of fans.
He is surviving his current life but when it comes to Mr. Gibbs rules, he easily gets annoyed.
He is happy to be an idol but from the underwear brand to the goggles he use should be decided by their agency.
He sometimes feels congested with all their compelling.
In addition to that, he can’t meet his parents as he was always busy with live shows, concerts, modelling, shoots and when he gets free time, he would deal with his own company.
He badly needs an escape from all of this but he chose this path, so he should endure it.
Sebastian stayed silent for a long time as he didn’t have energy to move and also his mind is consumed with numerous thoughts.
If possible he just wants to vanish to a world where he can be alone.
Lucien who is standing beside him eyed at all the people who are walking in and out of the restaurant with caution.
Sebastian covered his head with the hoodie and put on a mask to hide his face so it’s hard to recognize him but still Lucien didn’t want to let his guard down.
He is assigned to be Sebastian’s manager from the day he joined the agency.
He likes Sebastian and treats him like his little brother and also helps him to sneak out at midnights to have fast food because agency wouldn’t allow him to eat junk.
They go to shopping, movies and night clubs under disguise so that they won’t be caught by paparazzi.
He even helps Sebastian to reserve hotel rooms during nights.
Come on!
Sebastian is a man after all, of course he needs to satisfy his physical desires from time to time to relieve stress.
Sebastian is not a womanizer and never dated a soul.
All he wants is a night with a woman to keep a check to his worries for a while.
He never exposed himself to the woman he spent with and had been very careful to hide his face because he can’t risk of being on scandals and it also harms the agency and his band mates.
If they knew about his dirty secrets, they will kill him for sure.
Mr. Gibbs never forbid his idols to date.
Fredrick is dating Lillian Sanford and George is with Stella Miller.
Simon changes his girlfriends like clothes as he is not stable in relationships.
Likewise Sebastian can have his own private life but the problem is…..
He never met his match and honestly he is not interested in dating.
Their fans wholeheartedly supported their partners and never judged them.
Fredrick met Lillian at a fashion show organised by their company an year ago.
He fell for her designs instantly and they started dating since then.
George is in love with a girl from his high school and is still in relationship with her after so many years.
Their love stories were the talk of the town and he admires their bond but he didn’t know why he can’t find a partner for himself.
He never voiced out his stress to his parents because he didn’t want to hear his dad’s lectures and his brother is happy with his own family, so he didn’t want to disturb his peaceful life with his worries which brings Lucien into the picture.
Sebastian trusts Lucien with his secrets than his family and friends and that’s the reason why he seeks Lucien’s help whenever he is in need of something.
“Want to go out.”
Lucien asked, trying to ease his mood but Sebastian shook his head.
He just wants to be alone now.
God!
Please help him to have alone time for a little bit.
Please!
Fuck!
He is really hopeless.
While he is silently cursing his fucked up life, he heard a squeal and raised his head to see a small figure jumping near the counter.
He clicked his tounge in frustration because of the disturbance and shook his head.
He can’t have peace for even a second.
Can he?
He closed his eyes ignoring the clumsy girl and racked his brains to pull himself together so that he can deal with his punishment but after few seconds, he felt a presence behind him and raised his head, smelling the sweet scent in the air.
Damn!
It smells good.
He turned around and looked over the partition to see the same girl who he saw earlier near the counter sitting behind him with her back.
He didn’t find anything fishy and felt it’s normal because she is a customer and can sit anywhere she wants.
He didn’t suspect her and sat back in his seat, resuming his thinking.
The bodyguards who are having dinner shifted their attention towards the girl who approached Sebastian.
They would’ve stopped her if she attempted to interact with him but she just sat their watching the menu for a long time.
Seeing that she is harmless, the bodyguards let their guard down and ate their dinner in silence.
The atmosphere calmed down from tense to normal as everyone got occupied in their own work.
Sebastian who is relaxing leisurely heard a noise beside him and turned to the source of the sound but he only saw a wall.
Did he mishear the sound?
He sighed and closed his eyes again but heard a tapping sound on the partition behind him.
Feeling annoyed, he turned to his right and saw a note sticking out from the tiny gap between the wall and partition.
He drew his brows together in suspicion but took the note as curiosity got him best and opened it to see what’s written inside and the contents in it brought smile to his face instantly.
