Artemis was bored out of her skull since she needed to wait for her costar to be cast before they could shoot the movie. And when Ares – the number one music producer, singer, choreographer, and a whiz kid in the music industry – called her and asked her to hang out with him at Stellaris, she agreed absentmindedly.

She had starred in one of Ares’ music videos as his muse slash one-sided love interest – and the video blew up with many fans shipping them together, although she had no interest in the handsome man and vice versa. 

Ares loved himself too much. To be able to love anyone else was only short of a miracle – or if it could happen at all, that’s why she liked him and they got along well since she demanded nothing from him.

The roar of her limited edition custom Bentley with matte black exterior and blue/grey interior was deafening as she cut through the traffic. She did not like to use a chauffeur unless she had to. Most of the time she went everywhere alone to shop or just to drive around with no destination to release her pent up stress and frustration – with the exception of formal events. Blake insisted that she had to bring Nox and chauffeur for any formal events or he would sic Yuki onto her, and she did not want that since Yuki could nag her for hours.

When she arrived at the Stellaris, she directly went to the VIP room where Ares was waiting – and saw that Roman was also there with Ares, singing G-Dragon's new song complete with the choreography.

Roman was a very famous actor and although he looked very friendly and approachable outside, both Ares and Artemis knew that he was actually a ruthless bastard without feelings at all. He could seduce and dump multiple women without even blinking, and they suspected that he would not hesitate to kill for fun. But since Ares and Artemis were the same, they quickly became good friends.

“You both are nuts.” She sat down on the couch and poured herself a glass of soju.

“Heeeyyy, babyyy…” Ares sat down beside her. “Do you know that I’ve met Jiyong and he agreed to do a collab with me? We will meet later this week to discuss the new song together. Would you like to be the model?”

Artemis knew that Ares’ connection was vast and he was so passionate about his songs, so it didn’t surprise her when he said that he was going to do a collab with the King of KPop himself.

“Sure sure, just text me when you finish the song.” She ruffled his pink hair fondly. “Nice to see you, Roman. I heard that you have a new project going on?”

“Yeah. I can send you a script for an audition if you want, but this is an R19 movie, so I doubt you’re going to be interested.” Roman chuckled as he poured the soju and drank it in one gulp. “But I’ll send you one anyway.”

Before Artemis could answer though, there was a knock on the door and Ares jumped to open it – only to see the sleazy manager, Sean, behind the door.

“Young Master Ares, Young Master Roman, Ms. Artemis. I’ve come bearing gifts.” He bowed politely and signaled the waiters and waitresses who followed him to enter the room and put various expensive foods and drinks on the table – including a small incense burner.

Artemis did not know the man but Ares and Roman knew him since they often came here to party with the girls – and they also knew what was inside the incense burner.

“Sean, thanks for your gifts, but the incense burner is not necessary.” Roman declined the burner and the girl who brought it was confused as to what to do, when the manager – who tried to hide his confusion and displeasure – called her back.

“Just leave us alone and don’t come if I don’t call you.” Ares waved his hand to shoo them away and then slammed the door to Sean’s face. “That snake is trying to get some exclusive news when he sees you come.” He directed his words to Artemis. “He knows that it will be good publicity if he can be photographed with you inside the VIP room. Such a disgusting swine.”

“Well thanks, but you know I can handle him myself.” Artemis lit up a cigarette and exhaled the smoke to Ares’ face.

“I know you can handle him yourself, I just don’t want you to accidentally kill anyone while you’re with us.” Ares grumbled and Roman laughed. Both of them knew how strong she was and anyone who wanted to mess her up would end up in hospital – or morgue.

“Anyway, don’t let the man ruin our get-together. Let’s just drink and sing all night long!”

When the manager got out of his office, Azusa quickly slipped into it and started to rummage through his desk – when she heard someone else enter the room.

She quickly hid under the table and took out the paper talisman she always kept with her, and bit her finger to write on it with her blood to make a shikigami – but she was interrupted before she could finish and was yanked out of her hiding place.

She was about to stab the person who did it when she heard him talk.

“What are you doing here?”

Azusa stopped struggling and noticed that the man in front of her was the hot cop that she saw just now, and she knew that she was fucked.

But they couldn’t do anything else when they heard someone was approaching the office and talking loudly in a pissed up tone, so she tried to wriggle out of his grasp to jump out of the window – but the man had a steel grip and she wasn’t able to get away from him.

“Sshh, be quiet and follow my lead.” He whispered in her ear that caused her to shiver all over and weak on her knees, but she obediently followed him to the comfortable couch – when she was suddenly getting pressed down and kissed fervently.

Azusa was surprised, but then her instinct took over and she hugged the man and opened her mouth so that he could kiss her deeper, making her moan and wriggle under his body.

“You smell so good…” Azusa moaned and she could feel him hardened from the words, and how his hands started to get under her clothes and touched her all over – and did not even hear that the door was opened.

“What the…” 

She could hear the curse words amidst her pleasure, but she just couldn’t stop – when the man suddenly pulled away from her.

“Who are you?” He asked the manager with a cold tone, and she felt aroused from just hearing him talk.

“The fuck? Who are you? This is my office, not the VIP room! Get them out of here!” The manager ordered his bodyguards, but the man stood up, and spoke with anger in his voice.

“How dare you! We are VIP customers and we paid to get into the room of our choice and yet you dare to kick us out? I’m gonna get my lawyer and I’m gonna make you beg for forgiveness. See you in court!” He pulled Azusa up and fixed her dress before he went out – but the manager suddenly stopped him.

“I’m sorry, Mr….”

“Lee.”

“Mr. Lee, I apologize for my rudeness. Here is a special entry to our monthly special event, and this is a free VIP pass to be used in your next visit. I apologize again, and you don’t have to call your lawyer.”

The manager’s attitude turned 180 when he heard about a potential lawsuit, and he did not want to be the center of this disaster just because he could not hold back his anger over some silly matters. So he offered the handsome man freebies since he knew how the rich loved freebies even though they had more money than god – and hoped that the problem was solved.

“Hmpf, this is the first and last time that I will give you some face.” The man snatched the pass and shoved the bodyguards out of their place. “Make sure that this won’t happen again, or I will tell my father to shut this place down.”

“Of course, Mr. Lee, I apologize once again and this will never happen in the future.”
