Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 256

256 Painting her name in the industry 

As she searched through the crowd that was like ants due to the height she was standing, she couldn’t help feeling envious of VJ Cute. She knew these people were not here for her, they were here for VJ Cute’s voice. It was sad, but this is her destiny- to steal people’s fortune and not work hard for hers! 1 

Inside the VIP area, Rex could be seen with Celestine, waiting for the show to begin. Of course, they were not here for Christine, they were here for their sister–in–law. 

The light on the stage went out and a spotlight was fixed on Christine. From up above, the stage elevator lift she was standing on slowly lowered her down, like an angel gloriously descending from the sky. 

Her melodic voice followed, breaking through the loud cheers of the fans who were already waving their placards with different titles and names written on them. 

‘Little Angel‘ 

‘Christine‘ 

‘Goddess of music‘ 

‘We love you‘ 

‘Savior of music‘ 

And much more…

Spirit came close 

Angels prayed for me 

The world was love 

Everything was bright 

I held on to hope 

Cause I saw the light 

It shined so bright 

It 

gave me warmth 

I was shrouded in peace 

Not knowing the world 

It’s an illusion 

It’s a battlefield 

But I came to win 

I came to conquer 

I descend to grow…..! 

We cannot let things be… 

We cannot let the world fail 

We cannot stop showing love 

For love is the answer 

But revenge is mandate…! 

We rule the world, girls rule the world! 

We show them how to rule with love 

They really don’t know 

Everything’s not about violence. 

But knowledge and wits 

Don’t use brute force 

Don’t fight too much 

Just use your wit 

And let them fall 

Under your feet, they belong 2x 

They have no idea, we are watching 

They have no idea, girls are watching 

They’ve taken too much, we’ll take it back. 

They caused so much pain, we’ll seek revenge…! 

We cannot let things be…. 

We cannot let the world fail 

We cannot stop showing love 

For love is the answer 

But revenge is mandate…! 

I was shrouded in peace 

Not knowing the world 

It’s an illusion 

It’s a battlefield 

I came to win 

1 came to conquer 

I descend to grow…! 

Spirit came close 

Angels prayed for me 

The world was love 

Everything was bright 

I held on to hope 

Cause I saw the light 

It shined so bright 

It gave me warmth 

…However….. 

I hope it’s not too late to find peace….

A deafening round of applause almost brought down the roof of the venue. The music was simply marvelous and powerful! sang with different voices. 

The transition of her voice was mad! From gentle tune to powerful vocal stretching. Sometimes, it’s a short notes, other times it’s long notes. There were even places she used opera. It takes only a genius to achieve this and ‘Christine‘ was simply a genius among music geniuses. 

Even Celestine couldn’t help but clap as she wiped away the stray tears that came to sit on her cheek from the heart gripping voice. 

‘My student is a hidden gem, I’m proud of you. She thought. 

“My sister–in–law’s talent is simply too mind–blowing. I’m definitely the happiest person here tonight. Hahaha…!” Rex said while clapping. 

Seeing everyone singing her praises like this, Christine couldn’t hold back her envy and broke down in tears. To the people, she was just too overwhelmed and surprised that her debut was a success. But to legends, they knew she was crying because the success wasn’t hers. 

Even as she was crying, the crazy fans were praising her cries. 

“Look at that, aww, she’s so cute!” 

“Her tears are sparkling! Please, zoom in!”
