Jane took a glance at his height and just like her he had a pair of beautiful straight long legs, just his was rather manly and firm in those nicely polished dark leather shoes. He was wearing sunglasses, she walked closer to him and just as she suspected, he was the CEO of Brights Entertainment Damon Miles. She had met him once but wasn’t sure if he still remembered her. “Was he also getting married today?” she asked particularly no one. Her thoughts are distracted by the arrival of his secretary. “President, Ms Grey has not arrived” the assistant behind him reported. Damon Miles shook his head in disappointment, “If she can’t make it on time for the marriage, I doubt she will make it in time as my wife” his voice was cold and firm. “No need to come” his assistant panicked as they were working on a condition. He had to get a married bride or no bride. “President, the old man said, you must marry today, even if it has to be nobody” This statement alone made Damon weak. He hearted the fact his life had been dictated at the moment by the old man. Not to mention he hates being powerless. “Pick a random girl from a reputed family, anyone is okay,” Damon Miles ordered. This gave Jane an idea. So he was faced with the same situation as her, Jane smiled. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy, and it was a rather bold step from her end. This was not just any regular man but the king of bright. He could get whosoever he wanted, but she felt the need to walk up to him. “I will be your bride”
view moreThe lights were off when Dave arrived at the location provided by Pamela. Jane was so wasted that she could barely walk on her own. Dave carried her to the car in the company of Leslie, she drank so much because it was her bachelorette party and the wedding was tomorrow.
She was no more than excited. Finally, the wait was finally coming to an end and they could start up a new chapter in their lives. Dave drove the car into the parking, with Leslie following right behind him as he carried Jane to her apartment. She lived in a newly built neighborhood with fancy buildings, it could be considered a place for the rich yet isolated from the public eye.
This was because he had been away from the limelight for 2 years and was not planning on going back. She lived in a 3-bedroom house with beautiful architecture and decor. Leslie has been to this building multiple times but every time she walks in she is reminded of how downgraded she is, she is reminded of how much work she still has to put in as a model to reach the stage at which Jane quit. It angered me even more when she is referred to as a D-list model by others.
Dave drops her on the bed, he doesnt make her sleep in a comfortable position which makes her groan lightly in discomfort. Leslie embraces Dave from the back more passionately than she should. Dave tries cautioning her but she insists on sending her hands even further exploring underneath his shirt.
“What fine skin” she complements his body, raining kisses around his neck.
“You talk like you're new to it” he smirks picking her off her feet and tossing her to the bed gently. He attempts to walk away but is pulled back by Leslie who kisses him passionately.
“LES”
“SHHHHH” she seals his lips yet with another kiss.
“She may wake up,” Dave says, trying to detangle from her grip but Leslie had other thoughts in mind. She has always been second best and was not going to let anything take away the only person which she has gotten as first.
This was more of a consolation prize. She hated everything about Jane, even the air she breathed irritated her guts. The moment becomes even more heated with the couple kissing each other more like there is no tomorrow, and pieces of their clothes fall to the ground one after the other.
The temperature in the room gradually increased making it hot and unbearable for Jane to sleep properly. Her body ached from the terrible position and not only that but the sneaking sound generated by the couple was making it even worst.
She opens her eyes, slowly, everywhere was blurry, she felt not so good and desperately craved a fresh bath at that moment. She felt as if something was not right and her body just refuse to react to what her brain was trying to transmit. It felt like two people were making out right before her but she blamed it on the drinks.
She opens her eyes wider this time around expecting no one to be with her or to say the least her fiancee. However, it was far worst than what she thought at first, the scene before her brought her back to her senses, with an excruciating headache.
The figures were no longer blurry, she could clearly see her fiancee deeply immense with her best friend. The pain was new to her, like her heart being pulled out before her eyes. She continued to look at the two in shock as they went about their business, she dared not move an inch. Her body gave up on her as she lay motionless on the bed with her eyes widely open.
“We shouldn’t be doing this here, Jane just fell asleep” Dave warned but Leslie was too bold and determined to stop.
“What’s wrong? Are you now saying no to me because you will marry her tomorrow?” Leslie responded annoyed.
“You will be all hers for a lifetime, why can’t I have you tonight?” Dave knew best than argue with Leslie, she will and has always had her way with him. He felt bad they had to be doing it right before her, he did not love her however, the idea of them making out just as she slept right there did not sit right with him.
“How about we take the guest room? Come on babe” he smiles at her seductively leading her to the guest room.
Leslie sighs in defeat as she silently follows Dave out. She closes the door after her, after shooting Jane a last glance. Her eyes said all, the hatred was more visible. Jane sprang up to her feets the moment the room became silent. Her apartment was soundproof, making it hard to hear them from the next room.
Jane tried so much to hold her tears but she could feel her face getting even wetter by the second. This was not what she expected. This was the height of betrayal, the man she was to say “I DO” to was cheating with her best friend right before her with no sense of remorse whatsoever.
The hate in Leslie’s eyes as she closed the door, did not go unnoticed. Jane stays in the same position in fear they may come back. The door soon opens, and Leslie walks up to jane with a smirk. She sits by her side and slowly whispers into her ears.
“It is just an engagement, so get comfortable with it” jane could not make out the meaning of her words. Dave calls out for Leslie from outside.
“Just making sure she is comfortable, you wouldn’t want a limping bride would you?” Dave chuckles at her joke, she stands up but leans back.
“Your marriage to him has always been a dream come true to you and I will make sure it forever remains nothing but a dream” she walks out leaving with dave, Jane wakes up and looks over from her balcony as they drove away into the galaxy-like streets.
2 years ago, she was the top model, she was the most searched model not only in the country but also in France. For a home model to be chosen for the Paris fashion was a great fortune, the climax of her career and she had to leave everything for the man she loved.
Now it all felt like a horrible nightmare; she could only pray inwardly to wake up from it. She was to get married to next day but her fiancee will rather leave with his mistress. She stayed up most of the night trying to figure out the best way out.
It was dawn and just as planned, jane was even more determined to carry ahead with the marriage. She drove to the civil affairs office, she wore a white shoulder knee-length lace gown, very little jewelry, and light makeup.
She arrives just in time, she steps out of the car but is unable to locate Dave’s car among the tons of cars parked before the courtyard. She retrieves her phone from the vehicle and placed a call to him. The phone rang for some time before it was eventually answered. The cold voice dave came through
“Leslie is not feeling fine. She injured her leg why dont you book another date?” his cold tune made jane even firmer with her decision. “There was no other day,” she tells herself. Jane flips her car keys ready to leave, but the conversation of a man elegantly dressed close to her caught her attention.
His presence felt like that of a medieval king, charming, stern, cold, and aloof. His attire was no cheap suit. A dark British suit with a dark rose tie. Looking down jane took a quick glance at his height and just like her he had a pair of beautiful straight long legs, just his was rather manly and firm in those nicely polished dark leather shoes.
He was wearing sunglasses, she walked closer to him and just as she suspected, he was the CEO of Brights Entertainment Damon Miles. She had met him once but wasn’t sure if he still remembered her. “Was he also getting married today?” she asked particularly no one. Her thoughts are distracted by the arrival of his secretary.

“I will be your bride”
The host suddenly turned to Jane and then looked up at Damon. “Oh, it seems our Jane’s dress matches Mr Damon’s.” Everyone instantly turned to Jane. Indeed, it was true, some whispered. Jane felt a sudden rush of air but pulled herself together and smiled. “It's an honor,” she said, bowing a little. Everyone has always known her to be graceful, except those who have double-crossed her. But today was different. Everyone in the industry knew how much Bright Entertainment’s king hated hype. He did not associate with those who took advantage of others, but Jane was not one of them. She was different. To the world, she was only a model trying to gain the attention of the big boss, but to him, she was his wife, the woman who laid by his side at night and watched him work at day. The dress was a coincidence to others, but to him, it was not. Everyone eagerly awaited Jane's roasting. It was but a ritual for Damon Miles to say one word, and an artist's future would be over. For the first t
Dave looked at his sister like he would eat her if given the chance. Watching Jane walk ahead of them all, proud and composed, made his blood boil even harder. Unlike him, Kelly was not herself. She had ensured it; she had taken care of Jane, but now she was standing with them like nothing had happened. Her thoughts were going wild as she tried to figure out how things went wrong, but no matter how much she thought, she couldn't come to a concrete conclusion. “What did you do? I thought you said there was no way she would get out of it?” Dave half-barged, keeping his voice down, and Kelly only squealed from within. She too was at a loss for words. “She must have known from the start. I told you not to put anything past her, but you did like you always, and now here she is.” Kelly couldn't protest. Just like her, Dave was angry. Today had to be their day to shine. It had to be for them to put out the person they wanted, but again, Jane stole the light so effortlessly they did not se

She had made sure of it; she had taken care of Jane, but now here she was standing with them like nothing happened. Her thoughts were going wild trying to figure how the hell things went wrong, but no matter how much she thought, she couldn't come to a concrete conclusion. “What did you do?

Galaxy night was not only a gathering of superstars but the very best of them in the industry. A red carpet was laid out at the entrance and the media took their position. Every camera is ready to take snapshots of the best and worst dress. It was not only a place to receive awards but a gathering of competition of style, creativity, efforts, and designs. While most top models and stars promoted luxury brands as an accessory to this event, others would rather have their designers make them something unique and creative. Everyone wanted to be the show of the night, so efforts were made. By the side of the attendance board, superstars stood with microphones, answering a few questions and waving to their fans as they held light boards carrying their names. It was a busy night even for those who could not make it, as their eyes were glued to the TV, watching and waiting for the stars of the night. As stars swamped in and the chaotic screams of their fans, Dave held on to Leslie while K
“And why would we lie about something like that? Jane, don't think too highly of yourself. Since you were handed no invitation, it only means there was never one for you? Don't tell me you want to go so badly?’’ Jane sneered in her heart. She loved just how swiftly the words were flowing off her lips. Dave walked closer to Jane with a pitiful look. ‘’Jane, I heard from you that you still have some work to take care of tonight. Why don't you focus on that and we can discuss everything afterwards?’’ Dave tried holding on to her hands but Jane was quick to step behind and pull away. ‘’Jane stop acting out, since we say there was no invitation for then there isn't, you weren't invited so stop making a fuss about everything’’ the words of Dave hit harder. Jane did not feel angry not one bit. She knew the truth and she was going to attend, but looking at them and being very much aware of what she had planned for them made her feel relieved and amused. To say they were putting in so much e
Everyone was gone as Dave was busy with getting things ready for Leslie and Kelly was rather focused on finding a newcomer who looked more like Jane and with similar features. They were going to use Jane to promote the new commercial. But while everyone was looking out for each other, Leslie was rather in a world of her own. Her paranoia had gotten to the highest level. She wanted fame at every cost and her words were enough to make Nathan stand at a freezing point for minutes not sure of how to react. ‘’Book me an appointment after the night Galaxy event, I can't have anyone getting to know of this baby”’ ‘’what?’’ That was all Nathan could bring out of his mouth. His brain suddenly left him. Secretly he was envious of Jane, she had managed to reach great heights without the help of Dave. To top it up she has not only succeeded in standing tall and moving ahead but also done so with all the troubles Leslie and Dave have put her through. Nathan did not see the same path for Leslie
Jane had to wake up alone. Damon was long gone but not without leaving a note for her. On the note he made sure to inform her of who would be walking her down the red carpet while also letting her know the relationship of Pamela and Edward may be none on that day. While Edward and Pamela were both only employees to Damon and Jane in the eyes of the public, they were more than that in private. Edward and Pamela knew of the risk they were taking and as such were more than happy to let Damon know ahead of time so as not to cause an even bigger problem for Jane. Jane stayed all day at home going through her page, it had been a while since she last logged in and her fans were more than happy to have her. While they all asked the same question, if she was attending the Galaxy event, Jane was wise enough to give short answers and only mention she would be busy that night shooting for Lookious magazine. Her fans felt disappointed but supportive. While Jane was live catching up with her
While Jane had given up on asking Pamela where they were headed and just sat in the car patiently. Unlike if it would have been another which would have made her worry, Jane was more relaxed as she closed her eyes to get some rest. She still had some shootings of Mrs. Carter to take care of before the Galaxy night event and knew devious entertainment would be on her case to make sure she was not attending. Once the car came to a halt, Jane opened her eyes not sure why Pamela had brought her to her biggest shopping mall in the country in broad daylight. She was scared her fans would recognize her. ‘’Don't worry, I had this prepared for you”’ Pamela tells her handling a bag. Jane had more than one question in the end but chose not to ask. She quietly slipped to the back of the car and put on the jean shorts and crop top with a facemask and a hoodie. The look was something very new to her as it had been years since she dressed as such. She was more of a fan of modest dressing but see
While Jane walked out, the words of Dave made him stop in her tracks but not turn. ‘’Why don't you take a break and revert from the path of vengeance then things will be even better. You will drown yourself’’ Jane could only carry her lips up. Since they knew she was going to drown, there was no need to ask for help. ‘’As I drown I want you to do nothing but watch, do not save me for you don't have the capabilities to do so’’ She turned her head slightly to the trash and her torn invitation had still not been taken out. Was it revenge she wanted or fairness? All she wanted was for them to give her what was hers but they have always chosen to double-cross her. How can he call her actions revenge, when he had never treated her with any fairness? Jane did not stop in her tracks as she went ahead. She felt it was rather amusing how they were all pretending to be looking out for her now when they were certainly the ones going to drown. Dave of all people was going to drown in the water
