Previous ChapterNext Chapter"You want me to do what again?" Rara demanded of Svengallop to repeat what he had just told her. She couldn't believe the nerve of the man. Ugh! He makes me so angry! She thought in rage as she really wanted to kick Svengallop where it hurts.
"I want you to record your recently released single, Countess Coloratura." Svengallop repeated without any emotion in his voice. However, what really scared Rara bout him was that he had raised his hand up in the air. The last thing that Rara had seen was a tree that was the other direction. It had took her a while to realized that Svengallop had just slapped her. She then truly wondered why she had ever came back to check up on Svengallop. She couldn't believe that she held a little ounce of worry for him and he goes around and just slapped her.
However, the fear that had appeared on her face made Svengallop smirk at her and she couldn't believe that he had dared to do it again. This time, she knew that it was on purpose, which means that the first time wasn't no accident either. He really did hit her just to hurt her. Rara couldn't believe that Svengallop wanted to hit her. She still couldn't believe how cruel he was towards her and other people. How can a human being be this cruel to other people?! She was very horrified by what she is seeing from Svengallop and how he was treating her. Rara really needed to see this therapist that Rarity was talking about. She can't deal with Svengallop's shit anymore. She couldn't deal with his shit any longer. It wasn't healthy for her to deal with his shit. It also wasn't healthy for her to stick with Svengallop if all the man was going to do was beat her. "How dare you?" She seethed and Svengallop noticed that her fear of him turned to anger and he gulped a bit. He had made a mistake in slapping the pop star. "I could get you arrested for this, you know that." Rara told him, her tone sharp and full of anger. She didn't care if Svengallop was older than her, that didn't mean he had the right to just hit her just because she doesn't want to do something again. The new single was fine. It had a million views on it. Rara didn't know why he wanted to overwork her. That was the reason why she got drunk and cried herself to sleep every night. She was getting stressed out and she knew that even though, she adored Countess Coloratura's persona, she knew that she had to rest. She needed to rest. Rest would do her some good. And therapy. Rara couldn't forget therapy.
She truly needed both and she was going to do both. She glared at Svengallop and Svengallop glared at her back, but Rara was winning at the moment. "I own you, Rara." He spoke coldly. Rara laughed at Svengallop and the man grew enraged by her laughter. He rushed at her and Rara moved away from him.
"What? You're going to hit me again?" Rara asked and this time, Svengallop noticed how tired Rara really was. She was tired of fighting him, but she didn't want to give up her free will. She wants her free will so damn badly. What would she do with her free will anyway? I'm surprised there haven't been rumors of her sleeping around with anyone. Svengallop's eyes narrowed at the though of rumors being spread and he approached Rara. Rara got into a defensive position and she was ready to fight to protect herself from Svengallop. Svengallop pulled the girl closer to his body and he gripped her waist tightly. "Wait! What are you doing?" She cried out in fear. Svengallop relished in the fear that Rara was giving off. "Get off me!" Rara cried out in fear. Why is he doing this? I've never once did anything to provoke him like this. Rara feared Svengallop as the man tried to kiss her lips. For some reason, Rara was able to push Svengallop off of her. Svengallop growled in anger, but when he tried to rush at her again, one police officer slammed him into the ground while another officer questioned Rara on what had happened. Because of Svengallop only being seen in public with Countess Coloratura, Rara had to reveal her alter ego to the police officers. When her story was told to the police officers, they searched Svengallop and found a rag and a bottle of chloroform on his person. To Rara's horror, Svengallop had the intention of hurting her worse than ever. "You're too despicable to be anyone's manager. You're fired, Svengallop." Rara spoke to Svengallop very coldly. Svengallop hated the way that Rara had addressed him, but he couldn't do anything about it as he had lost his chance to tame her.
"I will get you back for this." Svengallop growled at Rara as the cops took him away from Rara's sight. Rara didn't respond to his threat, but the officers did as they slammed him on the hood of their car. They hissed at him to quiet down and reluctantly, he stopped speaking, but he only stopped speaking in order to keep himself from not getting into more trouble. He knew he was screwed if anything about this altercation got out to the public and the record company. He had to threaten Rara in a way that would keep her quiet, but he didn't want to threaten her, but someone close to her, but he didn't know who. He sighed as he had to rely on outside forces to get what he wants from Rara.
When Rara arrived to her house, she had a letter addressed to her. She snatched it off of her door and she read it. As she read it, a feeling of dread caused her to drop the letter on the ground. The letter read: I will get what I want, Countess Coloratura.
She knew that Svengallop couldn't have written this as he was just arrested hours ago. What is going on? She feared for the answer.
