But when the phone call persisted, she had no choice but to wake up.
“Mngh.” Groaning, she reached out, blindly searching for her phone. When her hand made contact with the cold device, she slowly pulled it towards her and without bothering to open her eyes, she answered. “Hello?”
“Mara, have you seen it?! It’s all over the internet!” Melanie’s voice came through, unintentionally startling Amara.
“Mel, why are you shouting so early in the morning?” Amara groaned and slowly, she forced her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling of her bedroom.
“Mara, you’re not listening. Check your phone, look at the news. Celestine is trending! And not in a good way.”
Hearing this, Amara’s brain finally started working. Sitting up, she ran a hand through her messy hair and grabbed her laptop.
She pulled it open, turned it on and typed Celestine’s name in on her browser. It only took a few seconds before several articles decorated the screen of her laptop. But the most recent one was what caught her attention.
Third Gen ‘It girl’ and model, Celestine White, was videoed last night, throwing herself into a swimming pool!
And along with the article was a video of when Celestine had fallen into the pool last night, trying to frame Amara.
Her eyes narrowed after seeing this.
‘What the hell?’ She thought.
“Mara? Are you seeing it? I told you it was all over the internet.” Melanie’s voice reached her ears and Amara released a chuckle. “That bitch is finally getting her Karma. I can’t believe she tried to frame you.”
“She didn’t succeed.” Amara said as she scrolled through the article, reading it piece by piece, in a bid to find out who could have posted something like this.
Only after reaching the end did she get an answer to her question.
“And with this, my grand surprise is complete.” Amara mumbled, reading the last paragraph written in the article.
“Huh? Did you say something, Mara?”
“No, I didn’t.” Amara shook her head and closed her laptop. “Look Mel, I’ll call you back later, there’s something I need to do.”
“Alright. Talk to you later.”
“Yeah.” Amara answered and ended the call.
Immediately after ending the call she went to her message, clicked on the number Helios had texted her with last night and called it.
