The melody from the piano filled the air as every living soul in the hall had turned dead silent, listening to them battle sing.
Maeve wanted to know how this girl stole her songs, and tonight, she was going to.
“If the night feels colder than the day,
And the silence takes your breath away,
Know I’m standing where the shadows fall,
Loving you beyond it all…”
“Can you stop already?
Can you stop stealing my song?” Rae yelled through the mic, cutting Maeve halfway.
“Let the judge decide that Rae.
This is a competition.
It doesn’t matter what song I use, as long as I sing it better.” The crowd immediately agreed with Maeve.
Everyone started cheering for her again.
Her voice had hypnotized everyone.
Her gift was working again.
It’s almost like they were under a spell.
“I shinning more than a thousand stars tonight.
I was born for these…
Made for these…
Created for these…
“Right here, in front of everyone, you’re stealing my song again!” Rae kept throwing the same accusation at Maeve.
“This is a competition Rae.
Maeve is right, she has the right to sing whatever, it’s not like she’s releasing it.”
Rae was stunned.
She turned to Fred, who smiled at Maeve’s direction
Same with everyone.
They were all hypnotized by Maeve.
It was like everyone loved her again.
The melody from her throat was heavenly.
It was mind-blowing.
“No, I will not accept this.” Rae immediately fell to the floor like she’s fainted, holding her throat, at that same moment, Maeve stopped singing.
For a few minutes, everyone still cheered for Eve, and then as if they realized themselves, they were back to business.
“Rae.” Martin rushed to the podium to get their artist who had fallen from the stage.
He held her in his arms and tried to lift her up.
“This competition ends here.” Martin suddenly said, as he lifted Rae from the floor.
“This competition has turned into a death trap.
We cannot risk Rae’s life just for the sake of entertainment.”
“Rae has a vocal cord disease called singer’s nodules.
She’s not allowed to sing for long because she’d strain her voice.
And by trying to prove that you stole her song, she has strained her voice.
That is why she can no longer speak or sing.”
“You better hope Rae will be fine after this.
Or Raeknights will never forgive you.”
“Maeve did it on purpose.
She knows Rae’s voice is not good, yet she purposely competed with her.” Someone in the crowd yelled.
“How can you be that heartless?”
“She’s jealous because there’s a new girl who not only is more beautiful, but sings better than her.” Another person said, and then the hall erupted.
Maeve only smiled.
She knew the people speaking were Fred’s paid actors trying to slander her.
But everyone that has been listening knows she sang well.
She also wondered what was wrong with her voice too, because it seems like everyone was hypnotized by it.
“Did we here the same thing?” Becky spoke up.
“The Maeve we all just listened to sounded better than Rae.” Another person said.
“Yeah!”
“Yeah!”
“She deserves to win.
Her performance was heavenly.
I enjoyed every bit of it.” Another person spoke out.
“Rae just kept arguing about stealing songs.
Like this is a competition.
There’s no rule like composing your songs.
That’s just stupid.”
“Yeah, that’s true.” Another person said and the crowd erupted as everyonw cheered for Maeve.
Maeve!
Maeve!
Maeve!
“Maeve is the goddess of music!”
“She’s not human.”
“Who in this world had such voice?
That’s the voice of an angel I tell ya!”
The internet exploded with the talk of the competition and Maeve’s singing video.
Everyone was mesmerized by her voice.
In her past life, this night was troublesome for her.
She had been so hated that she was attacked by her anti fans who stoned her with several fruits because of Rae.
Though she was saved by Fred in the end.
But tonight, the world celebrated her.
Everyone who saw her video, gagged at her performance and voice.
Everyone loved her again.
Maeve stepped inside the green room as she waited for her driver to arrive with Becky.
Becky hasn’t stopped smiling all through.
She was super proud of her boss.
“Miss Maeve, you’ve successfully broken the internet.” Becky said sweetly.
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Maeve asked and Becky nodded.
She hasn’t been this proud in a long time.
For the first time in a while, Fred orchard couldn’t control the situation of things.
A man walked into their room after a while.
“Miss Maeve, your driver has arrived.” Maeve nodded and started packing her bags.
When she reached outside, she realized there was no car packed out there, neither was there any security.
The one they had ordered.
“Where’s the driver?” Becky asked.
Before they could understand it was a trap and run back inside, they were immediately surrounded by a group of their anti fans.
“Maeve Davis.” One of them said.
These were the same ruthless people that has attacked her in the past.
The same people at the front role in the competition.
The same people that has almost turned everyone against them.
“You’re evil, Maeve!
You plagiarist!
How dare you hurt our Queen Rae?” one girl screamed.
“How am I any of that when I just proved myself in there?” Maeve asked politely.
“Throw the tomatoes.” Someone yelled and Becky yelled.
“Stop it!
If anything happens to Maeve, you’d be sued.” Becky said but they all laughed.
“You don’t even know who we are.
How will these broke girl sue us?” Another person said and they laughed.
Then the first tomatoes launched at them.
Maeve shielded her face and Becky tried to block it from hitting her boss.
“Miss Maeve run, I can take it.
But I will not let them hurt you.” Maeve shook her head.
“I can’t leave you here.
They might hurt you.” Becky shook her head at Maeve’s words.
“This is your only chance.
Run, I’ll help you.” As Maeve turned to leave, she crashed against something hard.
