Khalifa: Queen in the Apocalypse

Chapter 84: Shock

After dismissing the live stream, Khalifa then called the people she knew personally.

For example, the hero and heroine.

What she didn’t know was that they had been watching her livestream, care of Laura who pretty much barged into the living room where the group was relaxing.

The group of young men and women went out to the beach the previous day, on a Friday night, with a good part of their batch.

It was an outing of sorts, and was meant for relaxation.

It was why a sudden yell coming from upstairs sliced through the relaxed atmosphere like a knife.

"It’s that woman!" Laura exclaimed running down to the living room, without explaining further. She was just looking very haggard, and holding up her phone.

The others looked at her waiting for her to speak, and she sat next to Claire. "It’s the professor’s woman!"

Thanks to Laura, people knew that the professor had an ultra hot girlfriend.

Claire and Chris though, did not expect it to be Khalifa. "Who? K—do you know her?" Not that they voiced it out of course.

"Like I said, it’s the professor’s woman! I’m sure of it!!" Laura explained, "Her hair color and eyes are different in color… and she’s even more beautiful now but it’s her!!"

Someone beside them was watching the stream. "Is she, like, ultra rich?"

"Amazing. She’s just throwing all that money away…"

"That’s not the point!"

"What is?"

"She’s the professor’s woman!"

"Oh how nice!" One said, "The Professor is super lucky right? This ones too beautiful!!"

While others recognized her from a famous scandal. (Too bad they didn’t manage to save the sex video).

However this person, Boba, narrowed her squinty eyes at the video. "I know her too!"

"She’s in that scandal with Kaize!"

A few men who were silent quickly ran to them to look. One of them has managed to save the sex video, even.

They looked hungrily at the video. They finally found their goddess!!

"Speak! What’s the username!"

"Ahh! Finally found her!"

"So hot, so hot!"

"Too bad I didn’t get the video. Their team is too fast!"

One young man looked at his classmates, smug. "I have it."

"Whattt!!"

And so, a group of boys went to a different group and watched Khalifa and Kaize go at it.

On repeat.

The group of boys gulped, and were trying to hold back their nosebleeds. A few failed of course. Someone even ran to the bathroom to masturbate.

"Fuck…"

"That cunt must be so delicious…"

"It probably is. Look at how Kaize is sucking for dear life."

"Fuck, I leaked!"

A lot of people held back their curiosity to keep their images, while a few more looked concerned for the professor.

Instead, the surrounded Laura who claimed the famous woman to be two-timing. "She’s the Professor’s girlfriend?"

"Yes! I saw her in his apartment when we checked up on him!"

"That was when he called in sick for the first time, right?"

"He is taking a month’s break as well!"

"Fuck! You don’t think—’

"Wow, that woman—"

"Wow, our hot professor got cucked!"

"Justice for him!" Another classmate yelled.

Claire frowned. "Don’t. What if the professor doesn’t want to?"

"That’s not right!" The classmate frowned and Claire could see the mirth in his eyes.

She had overheard him talk badly about the professor before. There was no way he’d be passionate about ’giving him justice’.

"You don’t want to get famous right?"

"That’s not—"

Claire sighed and walked out to the beach, Chris followed. Laura frowned and ran after her.

"Don’t you feel sorry for the professor?" Laura asked her friend, holding her arm.

"Of course. But do you want people to know about his private life? Would he want that?"

Laura paused, and looked down at her slippers. "You know how I feel about the professor…"

"Then just tell him in private, though I’m not sure if he’d be appreciative."

Tears started to pool in Laura’s eyes, not expecting her friend to be so unsupportive.

Chris sighed. He joined this last-minute invitation out so he could enjoy the weekend before going to his competition. To think there’s girl drama…

They watched Laura run away, sobbing and held hands as they walked along the beach.

"What do you think?"

"They’re adults. They know what they’re doing." She paused, "Besides, didn’t the professor also take a break? It’s almost the exact same time as Kaize announced his…"

"Hmm…"

They walked along the beach in peace for a while, though it was broke when Claire’s phone rang.

She took it out and stared at the screen long enough for Chris to be curious.

"Who is it?" He asked and Claire didn’t answer. She simply showed him the screen.

It was Khalifa.

***

After telling the couple some low-key warning about the seriousness of the plague, and how there were a lot of lockdowns, especially at airports.

Around this time, Kaize was called by his manager, regarding his month-long break.

He had to sign a contract in person, lest the company got sued for his whims.

Fortunately, the location was in City S, which was the closest city from the island, only a few hours away on decent traffic.

"I’ll see you later." Kaize said, leaning down to bite her lips. "You wear that new nightdress I bought you!"

Khalifa chuckled and pinched his cheek. "Settle your things first." And she saw him off to the island port.

Finally, she called Jacob who had promised an update on his status around this time.

His parents apparently went on a surprise trip abroad. They didn’t tell him they would go even when he told them to stay in the area, it really made him depressed.

"They won’t even answer my calls! I asked for a little sister, but that was years ago!"

Khalifa smiled comfortingly. "Just keep calling them. It’ll connect eventually."

"Hmm…" Jacob sighed, looking longingly at the woman on the screen. "I wish I was with you. I love you so much."

Khalifa giggled and told him to be careful and memorize the way ’home’.

Jacob nodded, remembering, but his eyes stayed on his lover’s face.

"I’ll find my way to you, I promise."

***

Khalifa thought that all she had to do was chill and wait (and maybe brush up on some basic kendo she had been learning with Kaize).

She also thought that perhaps she could check on the status of the plants, animals, and people on the island and even on her space.

However, she suddenly got a call from Kaize’s phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Kaize’s guardian?"

Her back straightened and her eyebrows furrowed, a bad feeling entering her gut. "Yes, what is it?"

"This is S City General Hospital. Mr. Kaize got into an accident and he needs immediate surgery. Do you consent?"

"What?? Y-Yes! I consent!"

"Okay, thank you."

Beep—

She stood still as her ears rang in shock. Her legs soon gave way.

Fortunately, Cauis was looking for her and was nearby when this happened, and she had a cushion to bury her confused head into.

What happened???
