Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 6.2"A runaway groom? What the hell? Why would he do that if he's just using Aurella for self interest?"My face is probably showing Conrad a huge question mark right now. A huge question mark with my curiosity coming with it. The origin of my curiosity is cannot be identified, but I have a feeling that I somehow believe that this Lucas Zayd Foster can't betray his own system that day.I have a feeling that this Lucas, became a runaway groom and it's all for a woman that he can't stop thinking about.Cupid probably made him realize exactly the moment that he's standing at the altar waiting for Aurella.Poor Aurella."I don't know. None of my friends know. It's still a mystery up until now."Well, that mystery is fucked up. Really fucked up. There's no way that Lucas wasn't rooted on his place when he saw Aurella walking down the aisle. There's no way that he never thought of the consequences that comes after his actions. There's no way that he just decided to put Aurella in so much fame.

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 6.1"Where's the banana cake?"I look around the kitchen to search for the banana cake that my aunt Astacia bought for me.Today, Conrad and I decided to gather everyone up and tell them the good news. Well, some friends already knew 'cause Conrad couldn't contain his happiness. But our family still have no idea at all. All they know is that we're all gathered here for a dinner together. And they're not going to suspect anything at all due to the reason that Conrad and I do really host a family dinner every month.I figure out that it's a good way for Calvert to know the whole family. It's like a get together but all for Calvert. It takes so much effort for some members in the family to make it here in our house every month. And I appreciate it very much that they all agreed to this family tradition in the making. They reschedule more important matters and sometimes, I think that it's too much. But sometimes, I think that it's worthwhile especially that it's all for Calvert."I placed it

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 5.2"What?! What do you mean she's back on business?"Bryce is shocked to the core and it's makint me want to burst into laughter. And it's all because I know that Aurella Aglauros is not just a widely known supermodel.She's someone from Bryce's past. Someone that's trying to put him down for years now. But actually, they're like cats and dogs in the business world. It's not just Aurella that's trying to destroy my friend here. My friend here is also determined with every fiber of his being to fire back as strong as she's trying to kick him out.But that was years ago though. After bickering for a long time, Aurella decided to stop handling their family's business and just focus on her modeling career. Maybe it's because of the pressure that her family is putting her into. Or maybe she has other reasons kept.Just like my dirty little secret."Conrad? Are you still there? Hey? Talk to me, asshole.""Bryce, language! You're with my son." It's absolutely my turn now to snap on him."Relax.

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 5.1"No need to cry about it, Eve. I understand, and I can see that you've been tired and stressed out lately. You're doing your best, and that's all that matters."Whatever I do and say to calm my wife, I still can't succeed at stopping her eyes from crying and dropping tears all the way down to her cheeks.She keeps on apologizing about misplacing her wedding ring, and then accusing me of cheating on her with Aurella. And me, being me, as her husband, I keep on assuring her that it was all fine for me. I always understand her, and I always try to picture myself in her shoes. And every time that I do that, I'll eventually think that I won't survive as a woman and a mother at the same time. I don't even think if I can be graceful and incredible just like how my wife Genevieve is."No, it's just, it's so stupid of me to misplace my ring. And it's not just any ring, Conrad. It's my wedding ring! The ring I had since we got married. I'm sure that offended you even just a bit."I cup her face

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 4.2I have a feeling deep in my gut that Bryce won't disappoint me at all, and that he will take care of Calvert real good. But the mother in me says that I needed to tell him that in order for him to get even just a single hint that I'm a monster at worrying when it comes to my son."Don't worry, Eve. I won't make you regret on the decision you've made. And this is not the first time that I've watched over kids. I'm good at taking care of them, so just trust me."I nod, "Okay. Thank you.""You're at the nursery school now, right?""Yeah.""You sound really tired, Eve."I look around to find an unoccupied bench to sit to. But when I'm finally about to sit, my phone beeps telling me that the phone call I had with Bryce just ended."Oh, well—""You sound really tired, so you should go home now and take a rest."Bryce suddenly pops in front of me and he's wearing his signature small and unrecognizable smile. "Go, Eve. I'll be watching over Calvert. I promise, after I watch you get into your

Chapter: SPECIAL CHAPTER 4.1"Come on, mama! I'll be late!"I have no idea if I should be proud of Calvert being excited to go to the nursery school everyday, or be all lazy and have Conrad to send him off.It's been a week since my little Calvert had started going to the nursery school, and I've been trying my best to match my schedules with Conrad. And of course, with Calvert too. Asides from having different schedules, Conrad and I have no one else to watch over Calvert or to send him to the school whenever that I can no longer ditch my work with a massive force.I am still a magazine journalist under the publishing company of my own husband. But now, I am also a mother and an author who's busy with her third book. I know that I can just take it easy, or maybe do things one by one. But I can't just easily cross out one thing that I am passionate about. One thing that makes me who I am. Without these things, I wouldn't be someone who Conrad calls his wife; I wouldn't be someone who my little Calvert calls his m

Lucky Yet So Unlucky In Love
What happens if the person you are chasing is also chasing someone else?
Unique Aurella Ravenna Aglauros is a supermodel and a CEO that comes from the wealthiest family of Chicago. Finding true love for someone as busy, as famous, and as rich as Aurella is a very difficult task to accomplish. It might even be too impossible, so when her family arranged her to marry a CEO just like herself, hesitations were nowhere to be found. She agreed, and she eventually learned to be fond of him until she somehow fell in love. But when her long-awaited wedding day finally came, he changed his mind and left her standing at the altar with her expensive white gown stained with shame. Humiliated, she instead focused on becoming the best of her field just to forget that she let herself be fooled. Little did she know, there was someone else secretly yearning for her behind the competition between them in the business world. But how can a love story blossom in a toxic and chaotic environment? And how can he be capable of reaching her when she's chasing someone who's also busy running after someone else?
Oh, how unlucky.

Chapter: Chapter 38 (Part 2)“Showtime, Ms. Aglauros.”As I prepare myself to grace the runway, I take a deep breath to relax.Anything could go wrong. It's been a while since I walked the runway for a brand—especially a lingerie brand.“3, 2, 1...” I brush off the anxiety and then plaster a sweet yet seductive smile.I start to execute my signature catwalk strut with my feet moving according to the song playing.It's Gimme More by Britney Spears. An all-time favorite by many.The crowd goes wild at the sight of me. Cameras flashing left and right; fans raising their placards with my face on it. I wave at the camera before blowing it a kiss when I reach the end of the runway.The lacy lingerie I'm wearing right now is one of the sets I wore when I did the photoshoot weeks ago. The photoshoot went very well, and my photos boosted the sales of the magazine where my photos were featured. The brand couldn't resist but had me wear the lingerie that stood out the most in the runway because of the photoshoot.And I could

Chapter: Chapter 38 (Part 1)When I finally got home, I had to convince myself that this night is not only revolving around that awful family dinner.I can do something to change the mood that I'm in right now.Hell, I would even do a photoshoot even if it's already past eleven.Wait... that's it! Photoshoot.Goddamn, I forgot that my manager informed me about a photoshoot today.That could lift me up in an instant. I miss being in a set.With that in mind, I quickly forgot about the family dinner as I fumbled for my phone in my purse.I try to turn it on, but it's unresponsive.“Fuck, it's dead.” I murmur to myself.I walk inside my bedroom to charge my phone and use it while it's still plugged on.When it finally lit up, I wasted no second and dialed my manager’s phone number.“Hey, I know it's late—”“Where were you, darling? I have been calling you since eight.”I couldn't tell if my manager is mad at me or not. But that's not my concern right now.“It doesn't matter. Of course, we're still waiting for you! E

Chapter: Chapter 37 (Part 2)As I play with my food on the plate, I tell myself that all of this will be over any minute now.Keanu and his father are talking about how peaceful life was in Germany. And Keanu was the one who spent years in Germany, yet Uncle Naveen is the one that has a lot to share with the family.He claims that his son was never a failure like how the public had captured him to be, when he vanished after the cheating allegations spread like wildfire.Among us, Keanu was the only Aglauros in our generation that had married and got divorced after it was proven that he was cheating on his wife with a stripper in Vegas.Now, if it happened to any of us, I know how it'll excite Uncle Naveen to call us a disgrace in every family dinner.Especially if it happened to me.“Keanu certainly missed being here with us. Germany wasn't much of a challenge for him.”I bite my lip to contain my laughter. Wasn't much of a challenge? Before he left he was met with great challenges, yet what did he do? He abandon

Chapter: Chapter 37 (Part 1)“I’m surprised you’re here.”Lucan greets me with a kiss on my cheek before leading me inside the family’s mansion.“I am too.” I kiss him back on his cheek. “But since I’ve already had enough shame this week, I decided I need to be here because I don’t want to be disowned by my father.”Lucan gives me a disappointed face, “Yeah, I heard that from Trudy too.”As we make our way inside, the maids greet us all smiles and enthusiastic. But I know very well that they’re faking it. I don’t really think that there’s a single maid in here that genuinely shows us that they love to be here and that they love to serve.“I think this is the only time that we’re not complete for the family dinner.”I instantly feel the need to ask Lucan. “What do you mean?”“Well, out of the seven Aglauros brothers, only four are present with their families. The others? They won’t be able to make it.”This just shows that the family is not really fond of Uncle Naveen and his tricks. And who the hell will be fond

Chapter: Chapter 36 (Part 2)As I step into the doors of my vacation house, I let out a deep breath to help calm myself down.It’s been so long since the last time that I was in here.Hell, I’d even forgotten its existence if only Bryce didn’t kick me out of my penthouse.“Welcome back, Aurella.” I say to myself, before letting my body weigh down on the soft surface of the sofa in the living room.I remember I used to treasure this place so much. But now, it’s just a place for me to stay in when I don’t have anywhere else to go to.This place used to be my safe haven. My father bought it for me as a gift for my tenth birthday, which was very odd because it felt like he wanted me out of our house.I chuckle to myself, “What a stupid, naive girl you were, Unique.”I start to look around as memories of me and my family start to flood my brain. And when I say ‘family’, I meant my parents, me and my brother. I don’t really consider other people wearing our surname as a real family. Except for my cousins, of course. The

Chapter: Chapter 36 (Part 1)“So how is it going to be now? What’s your next step?”Vincent wraps his naked body with a robe, not caring if he’s wearing it properly or not.“Next step?” I ask back. I know that he’s asking about what I’m going to do to get back at Bryce.But as of now, I can admit to myself that I’d rather let my anger burn my insides than challenge Bryce for what he’s done to me.I can admit that this time, I don’t know what to do.I pull the sheets up to my shoulder to fully cover my body too.Vincent and I just agreed to not talk about Bryce and just fuck inside his room. I think it’s much more better than stressing on things that are not in my control.And besides, this is the last time that we’re doing this. We agreed on finally stopping since we both know that Bryce can use this against us.I know that sooner or later, he will be that desperate to use everything against me.Anything just to send me to hell, and to witness my downfall.“You’re not giving up, are you?” Vincent sits on the edge
