Inside the six star hotel owned by the James family, the young Miss Vanessa James was tying the not with her childhood sweetheart Kristen the last foster child to Mr and Mrs Parlor.

"By the virtue bestowed upon me as a servant of God I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss your bride" they both shared a passionate kiss to seal their until forever
Tina was so excited for the couples, same goes to their both parents.
But in the mist of all the celebration someone had a none emotional reaction on his face. This someone is none other than the young master of the James family, young master Edward.
At that very moment Maria Moore was on stage at the Festac International musical concert performing a song The power of love from Celine Dion.
"Am dedicating this song to my friend who's getting wedded to his better half today, how I wish I was there to celebrate with you all" Maria Moore said as she begins singing beautifully.
At this point Tina who was watching with her phone drew the attention of the new couples but they connected to the big screen.
"She's lovely aww, so pretty am in love already, go Maria"
" I bet she's gonna be among the top winners"
"Yeah she got all it takes" some persons whispered which the young master Edward heard. He was glad he could secure a ticket for her at the last minute. He was at the balcony when Kristen walked up to him.
"Hey bro, what's up" Kristen asked
"Nothing much" young master Edward replied
"Am sure Maria will scale through on her own don't you think" Kristen asked but young master Edward looked at him as a sign he should continue with what he's saying.
"I know you were responsible for her absence in my wedding_ but I think you should let her know and also am sure she will be on the top list" Kristen told him. But he only nodded his head silently in acknowledgment.
Back to the Festac International musical concert, Maria was given a standing ovation for her glorious performance. Cent who travelled just to witness the life show got her bouquet. She received it unknown this little action has stared reaction among the audience and netizens.
'is that the youngest master from the Clark's family'
'Are they a couple? They look perfect'
' OMG! Maria is hooked already, oh my days my little heart is crushed in piece'
'I can't wait for their grand wedding'
' But let's not concluded yet, they might just be friends'
' that's true but, the youngest young master from the Clark's family is known for his playboy life style'
This and so many more comments among netizens, seeing the comments and how Cent Clark hugged Maria in such a place accommodating more than five thousand people made a certain person mad. Still he managed to hide his pain, as he has always done since the day he set eyes on Maria.
In the following days Maria Moore contested exclusively focused on what she's doing.
It's the final day of the Festac International musical concert were different singers and song writers from all over the globe.
At the semifinals she emerged the fifth runner up out of ten. Today being the finals she did one of her mom's original song IT'S OKAY TO CRY WHEN IT HURTS, while singing on the stage thoughts of her emotional abuse came rushing like winter wind in her memorie.
The song was so emotional that it made some of the Evaluators eyes moist.
When the Evaluators were impressed with her song unknown to her one of the Evaluators was her late mom's friend and when Maria began singing she saw her late friend on the stage instead of Maria.
'Your daughter is a jerm Rosa, which you were here to see it yourself, you're alive in her dear friend' he thought to himself. After the final votes three winners were awarded, the third was a Philippian 67 year old woman, while the first is a 10 year old boy who's being diagnosed with cancer in the lungs and a brain tumor, while Maria came second place but the best contestant during the concert.
From that moment on Maria was all over the news, billboard, magazine. Companies sought for her collaboration.
She occasionally speaks with her friends, Kristen and his wife Vanessa as well as Tina.
Cent Clark took up the role of Maria Moore's manager, not finding any fault in him being her manager she agreed to it, Cent Clark made every decisions for her claiming he wants the best for her. Her account was monitored by him as well as her emails and calls. He never allowed any male around her and also she didn't get the chance to have new friends as, she was always on the plane, from one event to the other.
If she's not signing an endorsement, it's a musical contract deal or in the next international musical show.
She became so distance from those who stood up for her in her dark days of struggling.
