Hollywood Zenith

If it were cast and crew only, Emma wouldn\'t mind being at the center of it but knowing that other people from different agencies would attend the party it was best for her to keep to herself and if someone did want to talk to her, she could politely decline or take a photo of two if she felt it was safe.

When Samuel saw three men harassing Kate, he briskly walked them while nodding his head toward other guests. If they were normal fans, they would be talking to Emma not Kate coupled with the fact that both girls were hunching back as a sign to get away from the situation made it clear what was happening.

Kate was facing down with her hair covering most of her face while Emma was trying to get between them. The man who seemed to be the leader walked passed her and stood right in front of Kate, just as he was about to place his hand on her shoulder Samuel\'s caught it.

" I think that\'s enough buddy. Why don\'t you get moving?" Samuel twisted it just enough still not feeling any threat from them. He took them as couple of punks trying to push their luck, there was no reason for him to overly complicate the issue which was why he wanted to let them off with a warning.

" Sami! I don\'t know what happened? Kate just...I don\'t there is something wrong with her." Emma immediately tend to Kate who was shaking at this point. It was out of character for her to be scared of couple of guys, normally she would be throwing things at them.

" Don\'t worry, why don\'t you take her away? I will deal with-"

" Who the fuck are you to intervene here? Do you even know who I am?" The man exclaimed. It was the same boring ass line that every bad guy trys before they get taken down. Samuel was still in a bad mood so he didn\'t want to deal with another rich brat today.

" You better walk away if you value your life!"

" Yeah, don\'t say that we didn\'t warn you." His underling echoed his sentiment but to Samuel it sounded pure cringe.

" Do you know who I am?" Samuel looked him in the eye. Maybe the guy didn\'t get a good look at him, he expected him to back down knowing that he was the main star of the movie but he just couldn\'t catch a break today.

" You brat! Do you think because you are a big movie star, I wouldn\'t hurt you? Scram before I call my people!" The man signalled toward five big people stationed few feet away from them. They had a semi circle formation ready to leap into action at moment\'s notice.

" Hahaha that\'s what every coward says. I am giving you one last warning to walk away before I break this hand. You don\'t want to test me." The man was surprised seeing Samuel verbally berate him. He was fairly handsome which was only extenuated him wearing nice suit but Samuel was like a looming tower of doom menacingly looking down on him.

" Sami...stop.." Kate tugged on his suit trying to diffused the situation. Samuel looked back to see she was still hiding her face with one hand forward she was trying hard not to look at the man which puzzled him.

Then he looked down on his hand which was bleeding profusely, she was so tense that she dig her nails into her own palm? Samuel for the first time felt something was very wrong here. He immediately let go of the man and grabbed her hand to see the damage.

" What?" Emma noticed too, she immediate pulled out her handkerchief from her purse and started bandaging her wounds. No one knew if she was angry of anxious but seeing the four distinct mark on her both hands, both knew she needed help.

Samuel grabbed her face with both hands, he could tell she was a mess immediately feeling his hand wet just touching her below the chin. He separated her hair to stare directly into her eyes. All her makeup were ruined, the river of tears turned black getting mixed with her eyeliner.

" What is it? Who is he?" He was could already guess who he was. She was so scared of even facing him which was a massive clue for Samuel but still he wanted her to say it.

" He....*sob*...he is the one..." She could barely saw those words without turning into a teary mess. Samuel\'s eyes turned cold immediately, he turned toward Emma and said," Take her away."

Emma was frightened looking him instantly change mood but she did as he asked and hugged the poor girl trying to escort her away to a secluded location.

" Hey! What are you doing? Did I give permission for you to leave?" The man started acting up. The two other stooges also rushed in trying to get past Samuel, they were good little dogs following their \'masters\' orders.

Samuel still had his back turned to them, he slowly faced them as his deadly aura started rising slowly. The atmosphere around them instantly turned cold. They barely got a glimpse of his green eyes before two man closest to him collapsed on the floor which twitching.

Samuel never touched them, he was just using his intimidation which had gotten a lot stronger these past few months. The last time he used it was when he met up with Liliana\'s parents at their residence.

The main culprit didn\'t even know what happened to his underling, he looked at Samuel with fear in his eyes because he had never seen anyone make people fall just by staring at them. Samuel was still controlling his aura as he started closing the distance between them.

The man could swear that on this day he had seen the true face of devil, it was divine and perfect but at the same time there was something deep inside him that screaming at him to run away or he would be killed.

The guards saw that something was off, they tried to get between their client and Samuel but they too fainted as they got few feets away from him. It was like a circle of death surrounded him as he slowly walked toward the man.

" W-what..." The man was scared shitless. Samuel gave him a evil grin before he grabbed his hand that he put forth expecting Samuel to smack him.

" It\'s so nice to finally meet you." Samuel was holding his finger rubbing them gently like he was sweet talking him. He didn\'t want to use his aura on him, that would be too merciful.

Suddenly, Samuel put more strength in his hand and broke his index finger. It made a sound which was similar to a twig breaking. The man was in disbelief at first, he didn\'t know what just happened. His brain might not have processed it but the excruciating pain jolted him back to reality.

" Aargh-mpuufffghhh" Samuel grabbed his face so that he didn\'t scream.

" Shh....we don\'t want others to ruin our moment right?" He broke another one. The man started struggling, he wanted to get away from him but Samuel was too strong, the man couldn\'t even move a inch.

"mmmmhhhh." After breaking another finger. Samuel got closer to him directly looking into his eyes.

" I will cave your face in if you make even a peep alright?" The man immediately started nodding.

Samuel looked around to see if other guest were paying attention to them. Thankfully, due to the dim lighting in the corner, it was hard to makeout what he was doing but someone was bound to pass through here and looking at seven people laying on the floor, it\'s not hard to know what would happen next.

" What is your name?" Samuel lifted his hand for a brief second so that he could speak but instead of answering him, the man tried to yell. Samuel immediately covered his mouth and broke another finger, the man was down four fingers that were twisted in odd directions. Just looking at would make anyone\'s stomach churn.

" Let\'s do that again. What is your name?" Samuel asked with a solemn tone. If the man still didn\'t honor his repeated warning, he was ready to shove him an empty room so that he could freely \'operate\' on him. That would surely get him talking but fortunately, the man understood he didn\'t stand a chance.

" B-bret-t-t G-green"
