Shoot

"I don't know what's happening to you anymore, Beautrin! Your twin wanted you to join us for dinner but you keep on declining! Don't embarrass us with the Monteserios, Beautrin!"

Early in the morning and Mom's call immediately ruined my day.

"Get it right Beautrin! We didn't raise you to be rude!" I bit my lower lip, slightly rolling my eyes heavenwards. Mom is really confident in saying that they didn't raise me to be rude, when they weren't there when I was growing up in the first place. I raised myself! That's the right thing to say because from the very beginning, they didn't give me any attention unless it's Beatriz.

"I'm busy." I coldly promise. I yawned before getting out of bed.

"Busy!" she scoffed on the other line. I can almost see how disgusted her looks are right now. "Busy with what?! With your stupid work?!"

Stupid. Wow. Easy for her to say that I've chosen something stupid. Am I really their child?

When I couldn't stand her scolding voice, I immediately hung up. I turned my phone off before walking inside the bathroom.

I don't care anymore if she says I'm rude. Oh well. I will just live up with that. That's what they think of me, why not just go with the flow right?

After I showered and got dressed, I called Miya that there is no need to pick me up here now. I'll drive myself to the building.

When I arrived, Miya immediately greeted me. I frowned when I saw the stress on her face as she approached me. 

"You're late Trin. It took you a long time to come. The other models are already here and you're the only one who's being waited..."

I just winced and didn't speak.

All the staffs were in chaos after we reached the third floor where the shoot will take place. I couldn't escape the sight of the two men in black suits who has their back turned to us.

Who are they?

Before I could even ask Miya, two gays immediately pulled me inside the dressing room.

"Double time!" I winced at Miya's cry. I don't know why she's too stressed out with this. I'm not really late. I arrived on time and I didn't know that it was forbidden. And that I have to be ahead of the schedule.

"Get ready, Trin. The two owners of the products that you will model with the others are here. I hope that you won't space out in the middle of posing because we are going to surely upset Jade."

Oh. That's why.

"The owner of the products are so handsome, Miss! Muscled, but they also looks like they're looking for a muscled man!" the two gays giggled. I just shook my head and smiled.

When everything was done, we immediately went out and went to the platform. Jade was shouting. Not really embarrassed with the two men behind her.

"You must be close with each other!" She shouted again. When her eyes caught me, she immediately widened her eyes at me.

"Get on the platform, Beautrin! What are you still waiting for?! A Christmas?!"

And since I feel like being a b-tch today, I talked back. "What if you try to wait for it instead? Let's see if you can."

"Beautrin..." Miya pinched my groin as she pushed me onto the platform.

"Miya! Take care of your rude friend!"

"I'm not a five year old kid to be taken care of, Jade!"

"Oleya Beautrin!" Miya shouted with emphasis.

When I finally got on the platform, the eyebrows of the two women who we're there immediately raised. They wear the same clothes as mine, but too bad, I look even better with this one. The three men kept on looking at me.

"Gia and Homa! Get off the platform!" Jade shouted. The two girls stared at me in anger before following Jade's order. I whistled a little.

"Okay boys, shoot with Beautrin!"

My jaw almost dropped at what the irritating girl named Jade said. What?! I am going to be posing alone with this three men? 

I frowned when I looked at Jade but her attention was not on me but on the two men who were now smiling while looking at me.

What the heck is happening?!

"Lean your body to Fabio, Beautrin! Yes! That's it! Yes!"

"Now, pretend like you are hovering the three, Beautrin! Yes! Perfecto!"

I couldn't help but close my eyes tightly as I touched Fabio's hard stomach. Brandon, Xander, and Fabio are currently lying on the bed. Both side by side while I sat on the three of them, I was holding a bottle of the drink that we were modeling today.

"Brandon! Hold Trin's leg! Xander, you touch the waist! And Fabio, bring your face closee to Trin's! Hold the left side of her face! Do it in a sensual way!"

Sensual!

I almost hit Fabio in the face with a bottle when he leaned his face on me without saying anything. He laughed weakly because of that.

"Relax babe, this is a photoshoot..." he whispered before placing the strand of my hair on the other side of my ear.

"Perfect!"

We did many shots that completely exhausted me. Jade was smiling from ear to ear. She looks satisfied with what she did and looking at the two owners of the brand of liquor we are modeling, I guess, they love the result as well.

"You look hot, Trin!" Miya greeted me with a smile on her way down from the platform. She was smiling from ear to ear too.

I was exhausted. "I'm always hot, Miya."

She frowned before slapping my butt.

We entered the dressing room and immediately got dressed. I wore a simple crop top and paired it with denim shorts.

"Are you going straight to your condo now?" Miya asked.

I just shrugged. I actually don't have any plans for today. Maybe I will rest because tomorrow, my schedule will be hectic again. I am going to attend a runway show tomorrow night, and in the morning I have two shoots, and then signing of contract.

"You did a good job right there, Beautrin." Fabio immediately approached me when I was out of the dressing room.

I smiled sparingly. "You too and of course, Xander and Brandon did a good job too."

"Miss Trin. The owners wanted to have a cup of coffee with you and the three male models too." One of the staffs approached us. 

I pouted a little. Well, I guess, I'm not going home today as early as I thought I will be.

    Party"Shot!"Instead of going straight to the coffee shop, we ended up inside a bar. It's called Catastrophe. This is a place where the rich people usually go. Most of the customers here are elites and those who have a say in the society. Let's say a name. A high profiled name. "Why don't you drink?" Fabio gave me the glass with just a drink but I shook my head. "You don't drink?" he slightly raised his brow at me. He was sitting on my left while Miya was on my right. We are facing the Coleridge brothers, the owner of Devil's Glass, the liquor that I am currently modeling with Xander, Brandon, and Fabio. Xander and Brandon aren't here. They said they had something to do now so they didn't come with us."I drink, but just not now. I don't feel like doing it right now." I said with a smile. Fabio is actually a gentleman. Well, he's a little bit flirty but tolerable. I think that it's just really his nature. It's his thing. Fabio's a bit tanned and muscular. His muscles are almost bu

I met her halfway before hugging her."Oh... My daughter grew up beautifully..." her soft voice made me close my eyes as I hugged her so tight. I kissed the top of her hair, smelling her in the process.I miss her. I miss my home..."I miss you, Momma..." I whispered softly. I smiled a little when I felt her hug tightening around me. After a while I heard her sniffed which surprised me. I broke our hug before looking at her. She was already crying. I wiped her tears while stopping mine from falling too. Gosh!"My daughter...I miss you...""Oh gosh..." I hugged her again and kissed her head several times."I really miss my Momma too..." my mouth trembled as I spoke. I was on the verge of crying too. My chest started to tighten but I am very happy. I want to regret why I left her here. I wish I had forced her to come with me so

Being here...is killing me.It's painful. What I'm doing is painful but it's okay. I can only be with my sister sometimes, will I refuse this opportunity?I sighed before smiling at her."You should choose something brighter, Triz. It will suit you better." Of course. If she's the light, then I'm the darkness. We're completely opposite. We didn't spend a lot of time together when we were kids because...I avoided her. The reason? It's mom and dad, of course. They told me not to talk to Beatriz too much because she might be influenced. I don't know what kind of influence they were talking about but as I got older, I slowly understood what they meant.The young me was confused b

    Never again Has someone already told me that my life would end up being this hard? I bet no. Because I wasn't prepared. I... No one is prepared. B-but I never thought my life would be this difficult. I never thought that the day would come when I don't even want be alive...that I would rather wish be gone. I didn't think I would choose to be selfish on this. I just want to disappear from the world because of what is happening to me. I know how much my mother and father are angry with me. I know that. Ever since I was a child, I could feel it. I was never the priority. It was always my twin. But even so, I still understand them. I tried to understand them from the very beginning. I...took my time. I took my time and did everything for me to be noticed by them, so that they could acknowledge me, that one day they would remember that their daughter has a twin and isn't alone. I took my time.

That the daydream, the dream, the place that I've been trying to live on is not at all a dream but a nightmare. I clutched my Momma's dress tightly to my chest as I cried. Memories of her when I was still young washed over me. "You're back in your room. Why don't you come out, hmm? It's your birthday and one of our princesses is sulking already." It was Momma Delia's voice when she came inside my room. I sighed. Any child will probably sulk inside his or her room if your own parents don't greet and pay attention to you. They only greeted Beatriz while when in fact, we're twins. We have the same birthday too so I don't understand why am I treated differently.I'm sad. But...I can't be mad at them. Sulking, yes, but I am never the type of the person who'll invest myself with too much hate.Even if they think I'm cursed, at least I still kno

My jaw tensed at Ythan's teasing voice to me. I glared at him. Euler and Chaos just laughed. "How old is Indie again? She's eight years old. She's almost nine. And Saintesszia Coraline is already 1 year old. And now, she's pregnant with your third child, but you're still not married to her. Dang! You're so weak!" I winced at Ythan. This man's tongue is really carved differently. I gulped down a bottle of beer and slammed it down on the table. It's painful to hear Ythan say that my queen still don't want tl marry even though we already have about four babies. And do you even know what's more ironic? I don't even know what we really are.

    Chapter 45Earn "Shush, baby, it's fine Missus. You're safe. I'm here. I'm here." Claus' soft voice was the last thing I heard before everything finally went dark. I don't know how many hours I slept, but when I woke up, my whole body was so painful that it was as if I had been beaten over and over again. I groaned. I slowly opened my eyes and the white ceiling immediately appeared to me. Just by the smell of the surrounding, I knew I was in the hospital. "W-water..." I whispered huskily. I tried to move my fingers but it was too numb. I feel heavy and my body still feels heavy. "C-Claus..." I whispered again. When someone moved next to me, I immediately looked at the person who was crouching on my bed. Only then did I realize that Claus was there. He was sitting on a chair and was resting his head on the side of the bed where I was lying. He's also holding my hand tightly. Maybe that's why I can hardly move it. "C-Claus... Claus...

Well, I'm happy with those years with Indira. But seeing her 'this' happy being with his father is what makes me happy too. It makes me...completely happy. "I'll go first, baby, hmm? I really have to do something." I ignored him and kept on frowning. I don't know why though. He'll just come back to the city to fix something, but here I am, acting too much. "Don't come back." I said and turned my back at him. I heard his violent sigh. I didn't mean it...like this. I don't know why my mood is changing so much now and it's frustrating me! Sometimes I'm sweet to him, but most of the time I acts out and I'll be completely rude. "No, baby. I'll pick you up here. You'll ride a chopper, baby, to go faster. I'll go first, but you'll follow anyway." Nope. I still don't want it. Why don't we go together? Would that make any difference?

That's when my world went completely dark. But then, my sweet Indira came. She became the light to my world. My sunshine. She is the angel that made me rise again. "I'm so sorry, baby..." I stiffened when I felt him carefully settled on my back. He hugged me so tight and buried his face on the crook of my neck. I was even more shocked when I felt the nape of my neck where his face was buried slightly wet. He was sniffling and sobbing. He's crying! He's crying! "I made a mistake. I choose to hurt you just to save you, baby." He sobbed while I frowned. My forehead creased. I wiped my tears and tried to face him but he held me more. "I-I can't take us to be like this anymore...I'm sorry. It was my fault. I-It was my fault..." "What the hell are you talking about, Claus? I-I don't understand."

I squinted my eyes at him, raising my eyebrows in the process. "Tammy, tell your husband not to tell Monteserio that I'm here. I don't want to see that bastard lurking around here again later."Tammy slightly turned to her husband and elbowed his stomach. Euler coughed but didn't complain. "You heard that, Euler. Don't do anything because I'm going to divorce you." The man just sighed and nodded. I smirked. Whipped, huh? "Of course, baby. Don't want to put our marriage at risk." I just rolled my eyes when he dipped his head and kissed my friend in front of me. "We're going straight to the cabin, Tam. We're going to rest..." I kissed her cheek.

But it turns out, for those years, I just filled my heart with anger, the reason why I thought that I was over him. But not yet, he's still here. Still intact. I love him. I still do. I can't deny that anymore to myself because I already feel it. But then, I don't trust him. And my love for him is not enough for me to take a risk again. Especially because of the words I heard from Beatriz yesterday. "What is the problem?" I was brought back to reality when Raf nudged me. "You said we're leaving tomorrow, right? But why does it seem so early? Aren't you too excited to leave?" he asked. I sighed before adjusting Indira who is sitting on my legs. "No. I just want to make Indie happy," I said.

I wanted to blame myself again for even thinking of giving Claus a chance to meet his daughter, our daughter.He...planned these. For sure.I let out a smirk. Of course. As much as I wanted to believe those stupid actions that he did these past few days, it was impossible that he loves me just like what he told me. He pushed me away. He loathed me because he believed I was the one who killed our own child. I may treasure my career so much at that time because I was just starting, and modeling is my passion. It was my first love before him, but when I found out I was pregnant with our child, I didn't think about having an abortion. I could never do such a thing. And it hurts me that he believed in others more than me. He doesn't believe me. He didn't let me explain.It broke me into pieces. He broke me into pieces.
