Seducing The Ice Queen

Unknown to him, his microphone had not been turned off at the moment and the silent whisper echoed through the stadium.. Due to the in-ear monitors that they often wore, Adam failed to realize that he had invariable announced his pain to not just his four brothers but to their millions of fans as well. The people who heard the words were not, at first sure of they had heard but those who were watching and listening everything from live streams were shocked.

Alice was shocked just as well. She understood that Adam had not meant to announce their pain to the world, but hearing him say the words, made the painful fact even more real. The tears that the two had worked so hard to control started to fall and she ran towards the nanny van. Most of the crew that SKY used travelled with them so they all knew her personally making it easier for her to move around. Everyone had been under immense stress since the accident in the evening and subsequently Chairman Lucas' insistence that the show will be cancelled if Adam did not return. Hearing this, they now guessed what could have happened. Adam must have heard the news and rushed to his wife. 

Everyone could only marvel at the level of professionalism that K had shown tonight. He must have been breaking down inside and yet on the stage no one could have said that this man had suffered such a huge loss. Everyone threw sympathetic glances at Alice as she ran towards the van, making her even more miserable. If they knew the truth, that she was responsible for what happened. It was her callousness that killed their child, they would undoubtedly hate her and scold her. And she would deserve it.. She waited in the car for the others and soon Phillippe brought them into the van. Seeing her sitting there, staring out of the window, K breathed a sigh of relief. 

His biggest fear, as he had performed had been that she would run away when he was no around to stop her. In the changing room, there had been silence as Apollo slowly explained going how everything had taken place. After patting K on the back, the boys repeatedly asked for him to be strong and tried to assure him that this too shall pass. But the feeling of being helpless was one that they never wanted to experience again.

Using guess work as well as with the large base of STARS that spanned everywhere, the fans had soon discovered everything that happened in the last twenty four hours and how K had not even been able to reach Alice while the others had paced in the hospital room. Slowly, SKY's SNS accounts were tagged with millions of condolence and Stay Strong messages. A few women who had experience of such a sad incident came forward to share their experience as they tried to console the couple, once again shocking the world with the Positive fans that SKY had earned for themselves. There were some who had many negative things to say but they were soon silenced by the Stars.

The person who was worse affected in this sudden wave was unexpectedly Chairman Lucas Ivy. A few people commented anonymously of course on on how Lucas Ivy must have known the truth and still made K do the show. The flak, threats of boycott and humiliation that he had earlier threatened K and SKY with were now all being aimed his way with BP Entertainment suffering a sudden downfall in their share prices. Even though the Stars had nothing to do with the management of a company, the uproar to remove Chairman Ivy from his position for failing to fulfill his moral responsibilities and misusing his power was huge. He thought about declining knowing anything about the miscarriage but even before he could make a comment someone clicked the picture of bouquets that he had sent along with the card and uploaded it on their media account. The cold words that he had written to Alice were also discovered while the Stars also managed to clear Alice's name from being linked to Lucas by clarifying that Lucas and Alice had returned separately and also had not in fact eaten anything together. This had been done by bribing the staff of the hotel into revealing everything that took place as well as the use of surveillance cameras thus ruining Lucas' perfect plan.

But this was not the end of the effect. The parent company of BP Entertainment, AP and Sons was also equally effected and as the news reached Adken Parry's ears, he tried to call Lucas for a confirmation resulting in the two people having an immense argument which ended in Adken Parry threatening to remove Lucas from his position. After all they were talking about his grandchild. Adken Parry was enraged that Lucas had not even bothered trying to explain anything to him while Lucas maintained a stony expression claiming that there was no need for Adken Parry to know.

After the phone call, Lucas pushed everything off his make shift desk in a fit of rage.! Adken Parry was now trying to make him a scape goat and be the good guy by using this instance. But he would not let go so easily. Making a few phone calls, he tried to accelerate the process to push out Adken Parry from the company. 

The butterfly effect that a few words of pain had evoked resulted in several repercussions for Lucas Ivy. Most of them negative. Even though the man did not have the most stellar reputation, his indifference and cold attitude towards an employee's suffering earned him big losses. It was often said that one must use power with caution because the moment the misuse of power was revealed, karma would but back.. This was how Licas Ivy found himself drenched in rotten tomatoes and eggs as he returned to the hotel.
