The Devil's Harem

Chapter 178: The new guy, Brad’s fan or Veronica’s devotee?

Chapter – 178

“Aahhh... I have missed this pollution,” Alex took a deep breath, taking in all the dust particles into his lung as he stepped out of the airport, “It’s so good to be back home.” There was a big smile on his face. His heart was finally at peace.

His heart was always in his throat after what happened at the restaurant in Thar. So without wasting any time, Alex and the others took the first flight they could find and made their way out of Thar before any more trouble could come their way.

Most of the employees from both companies were in the dark about what was happening and why they were being uprooted all of a sudden. But all they could do was not ask questions and comply. After all, It was Alex, the one spending the bucks, asking them to get their ass moving. Moreover, they were already leaving in the morning, so a few hours earlier did not make much difference other than the annoyance because of lack of sleep.

So, following their schedule in Thar, the whole crew made its way to Karakura. They spent the next two weeks and completed the filming of the project. But the fear that anytime the police would come knocking at his door even made him lose sleep.

On the other hand, Alex was a celebrity among those from Theation and his own company, especially the girls. It did not take time for the events of that evening to spread among the others who were not present at the scene. There were stories of how Alex single-handedly beat ten, twenty and even fifty guys. There were certainly a lot of exaggerations, but everyone enjoyed it. And it bought a lot of attention to Alex. Even Brad and Veronica were left far behind in that aspect.

And the only good thing that came of it was that Brad decided to behave himself. He was no longer throwing his weight around Alex and causing trouble. He stayed away from Alex, and everytime they crossed paths, Brad would turn around and flee as far as he could. And most importantly, there were no longer any demands from Brad about the love-making scenes with Veronica. Overall, the next two weeks were not hard on Alex or anyone else because of little old Braddy.

.....

And today, finally, they were back in Eleanor after a tiring schedule of three months. He missed the city, but more than the city, he missed his parents. It has been so long since he saw them face to face.

‘They will be happy to see me, won’t they?’ Alex thought.

“Aaha... Looks like someone missed the air. How I wish I was the air,” while Alex was lost deep in his thoughts, he heard someone say. Normally, he would have cringed at such cheesy gay talks, but not this time. Contrary to his normal reaction, on hearing the guy, a smile appeared on his face.

Alex turned to look at the source of this voice and saw a guy, slightly younger than him walking towards him.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Alex asked, smiling ear to ear.

“What do you mean? I am here to pick you up,” the guy said as he approached Alex and opened his arms for a hug.

“But mom never told me that you were back,” Alex did not resist and reciprocated the hug.

“Wouldn’t that ruin the surprise?” The guy broke the hug and said, winking.

“That’s true,” Alex agreed and looked at the guy from top to bottom, “Not bad... Not bad...” Alex approved of the boy.

“Enough with checking me out. What is it with you? Going leaner all of a sudden? Looks like you are skipping a lot of the gym.” the boy commented, squishing Alex’s forearm. The boy started from Alex’s forearm, and soon he was touching Alex all over his body.

“Hey... Hey... Control your urges? Everyone is looking,” Alex danced around with all the tickling and said.

“Stand still,” the guy looked serious, “Let me see what we need to work on most.”

“Needs a lot of care and love,” the guy said, “Don’t worry. Now that I am here, I will slowly grind this body back to what I was proud of in no time.”

“Fine, just don’t act gay with me,” Alex said, pushing the guy back.

“Hey... Don’t go looking down on gays,” the guy yelled out loud, defending the gays. But the next moment, he whispered, “It’s the pride month going on. Even though you are straight, handsome, sexy....” The boy wanted to warn Alex.

“Sexy?” Alex exclaimed, but after he realised how loud he was, Alex looked around before turning to the guy and whispering, “Have you gone mad?”

“Busty?” The guy looked even more dazed.

“Are you finally losing it?” Alex asked and looked around. Alex hoped that none of those he knew was close by, eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Such fine curves?” But the guy did not stop.

“Are you trying to pick... a...” Alex finally lost it and was about to punch the guy when he saw him looking somewhere else behind him. Curious, when Alex looked behind, he knew what was going on.

Just as they were chatting, Veronica and Rebecca walked out of the exit, followed closely by Brad. And Alex knew right away that everything after straight and handsome was not meant for him. It was for either of the two beauties, Veronica or Rebecca.

“I know what you are thinking, but don’t do anything stu...pid...” Alex knew how easy it was for the guy to fall for beautiful girls. And knowing Rebecca, Alex knew that the boy was up for more than just some curses if things were to go wrong. So he was about to warn him, but before he could do so, the boy had already slipped away, making his way toward the girls.

Meanwhile, Brad was trying to think of ways to strike a conversation with Veronica. These past few days have been very hard on him. He was beaten to the point that he fell unconscious in front of her. And for the next two weeks, he could not even look at her. In his original plan, the last two weeks were supposed to be him having fun with her, but everything turned out to be nought. Apart from that, Alex’s presence was also weighing heavy on him. Brad did not remember when he lost consciousness and what happened after that, but he did hear the stories. And though Brad had his own doubts, he could not rule it out as a possibility.

But now he was on his own turf. He had nothing to fear. Now, all he wanted was an opportunity to shine again. Just one opportunity. And the opportunity presented itself when he saw a boy in his early twenties walk towards them, looking all excited. On seeing the boy, Brad’s face lit up like a thousand-watt bulb.

“Aahhh... My fans,” Brad sighed, trying to show off, “They are everywhere. I didn’t even tell anyone about my arrival,” Brad threw his hands in helplessness.

“If you will excuse me...” Brad smiled at Veronica and took a couple of quick steps to get in front of Veronica and Rebecca.

“How did you know I was coming today,” Brad called out loud. He was deliberately loud enough to let Veronica and Rebecca hear him. he was very grateful to the boy coming towards him. 𝓲nn𝓻e𝓪𝘥.𝑐o𝐦

“Don’t tell me...” Brad put his hands over her mouth and acted surprised, “Don’t tell me you guys have been camping around here all this time? Just to get an autograph of mine,” Brad said and winked at the boy. He was clearly trying to imply something.

‘Oh God, don’t do this,’ Alex, who was quite far from everyone else also heard Brad and could not help but pray to God. If this goes on, he would be put to shame in front of everyone.

‘But he needs to be taught a lesson in humility,’ On second thought, Alex decided not to help Brad save his face. Working with him was the decision Alex regretted the most anyways. It was a win-win either way.

Meanwhile, as the boy made his way toward Brad, the excitement on his face did not diminish in the slightest, sending more and more confidence to Brad. He made Brad believe that everything was under control.

‘Good thing I agreed to leak the details,’ Brad thought, ‘I would have lost this opportunity.’

Once bitten, twice shy. This was how brad felt when his manager proposed calling out a few of his fans on his return to Elenor. He did not know how it would fare, and to be honest, he just wanted to hide from the limelight for a while. But his manager explained to him the pros and cons of the arrangement, and he was glad he heard him.

Enthusiastically, Brad pulled out a marker from his jacket, ready to sign an autograph.

“Where do I sign?” Brad asked, but the boy pushed him away and walked past him, not putting him into his eyes in the least.

The boy hurried toward Veronica and, without delay, fell to his knees when he was in front of her.

“I have finally found you, my angel,” the guy clasped his hands as if praying, “My turu lub...”
