‘’What are you talking about? Isn't she just some newcomer?’’ Mrs Carter asked, visibly panicking, she was dumbfounded, how could a newcomer know Miss Cobswell? She has never seen her friend so red from anger. ‘’What newcomer? I hope you treated her nicely for how you could. Do you know just how many companies are willing to work with her just at the mention of her name? Tell me who dares to call her a newcomer?'' Mrs Carter wished at this point the ground would open up and swallow her. How could Kelly have lied about something as important? If Jane was to be the best student of her friend, that means she did not fall under the newcomer category she was given. Indeed she had said she would regret it before the end of today. Well, she was already regretting her decision. ‘’You should be happy she is willing to sign with you. She is such a rare talent and I can proudly tell you she will do a wonderful job. More than anyone and it will be an even bigger hit’’ Mrs Carter could not brin
Late into the night, Mrs Carter had sent out another email requesting the presence of Kelly, Dave, and Leslie for another meeting. It was so late into the night when Jane had given her an answer, hence the message was sent late and consequently every took note of it only in the early hours of morning. ‘’The contract signing has to be on another day, why does Mrs. Carter want to meet with us so suddenly?’’ Leslie asked Dave, leaning in his embrace. It was still early for her to start preparing. ‘’Maybe she wants to do things fast, also didn't my sister hand over some other models to her yesterday? She might have made her decision. Just don't overthink issues. Jane would be returning home by nightfall and this contract would be yours’’ Dave gently kissed Leslie. He had already made sure there was an available flight for Jane to leave. He did not want to take the chance of her staying behind and scheming behind their backs. It was 5 am and he dialed her number. When the phone rang Dam
“‘What is the meaning of this Mrs Carter, how can you cancel Leslie just without an explanation?’’ Kelly roared. How could cookies be going back on their words when they were so close to signing the contract? ‘’I do understand your frustration with what happened with Jane yesterday however I promise you she won't be a problem and as we speak she will be leaving back home tonight’’ Kelly was panicking and was visible all over her. She has never been the type to beg, but that was what she was doing. ‘’Is she a newcomer? Kelly all I had asked for was the truth you chose to make me look like a fool’’ Mrs. Carter sneered. She did not want the family drama affecting his company more than it was already. ‘’I. I, ‘’’ Kelly choked on her words. She had no way of defending herself by saying Jane was indeed a newcomer. At this point, there was nothing to say. ‘’Kelly, you are a friend I have held close for a long time. I wouldn't have thought you would do such or is this how you treat your f
Jane was intentionally taunting Kelly and everyone could see me. Kelly’s ears were bright red from embarrassment. Indirectly Jane was telling her, I won't be controlled by you, I can't be controlled by you. “‘Jane do not push your luck?’’ Kelly tightened her fist. She wanted to appear cool, but with every word of Jane, it was even more difficult to do that. ‘’Why? Are you scared of something Kelly? You had been the one to tell Mrs Carter I was not capable, how could I not be capable? I have not only been to many countries but I have also worked with Chanel and Louis. I have been on the Paris runway and that was done with my capabilities, so if I am not qualified and can be tagged as a newcomer then Leslie is not worth walking even in my shadows. Not to mention this is her very first shoot out of the country, yes I know all about it, she has always been traveling but not for work, you made all that happen so why dont you pull some of those strings right now?’’ Jane was not afraid t
When the eavesdroppers heard Kelly’s reply they could not help but jump up in joy. Mrs Carter has not gone far with Clara. The joy of Pamela and Regina said it all. Whatever outcome Jane was aiming at was not now hers. In all her life in the entertainment industry, she has met just one person with so much intelligence. Yes, it was none other than the big boss of Damon Entertainment. To see a woman stand up so high and mighty made Mrs Carter feel so bad for how she had treated her to begin with. Indeed Miss Cobswell was right to say she was her best student. Who wouldn't want her as the best when she did everything so well? Now the odds were no longer in their favor. They had come in ready for contract signing but instead, they were served. The same way they had served Jane on the very first day. Regina could not help but be so proud to be called her manager. Not only had they been misled from the first day, but her image was tarnished before the client but all that did not stop Jan
Leslie stared at Jane confidently. The man she wanted did not only hate her but there won't be any more chances in the future. She was indeed pleased. However that does not seem to be the case, it was all in Leslie's head. Having someone as mighty as Damon Miles was too much already of an accomplishment for Jane. She did not need anything more and even if she was forced to choose another, it would never be Dave in a billion years. But Leslie was not aware of such, jane stared at the cheating family before stepping into her car and driving away.‘’Time is something you do not have’’ Leslie read Jane's lips as she muttered word after word. It was not meant for the hearing of others hence she had said it very low. Leslie turned to Dave who was too focused on what Kelly was showing him on her phone. She suddenly felt cold. How something about Jane's words scared her. Yes, no one aside from Nathan, Kelly, and Dave knew she was pregnant. She not only needed the award as Jane thinks but sh
When Damon and Jane were alone within the enclosure of their room, she pulled out the contract and handed it over. They had prepared it in advance, but it was all on if. It was a big gamble to think they fell for it did not worry Damon. ‘’Just as days go by and times we can't control or change the outcomes of events, so is the entertainment circle. They won't be giving you control for a long time, at least that is what they are thinking. Kelly should not only be hoping for a comeback for Leslie but also for devious entertainment. She would do all it takes to see you go down’’ Damon words were calm. Dave and Leslie have never wanted to let Jane go in the past and now are no different. ‘’I also feel the same way. The news online is more like a rap battle, everyone is voting. Every job I have ever taken is now the talk on all lips. They can't help but compare us, the only difference being my legs. While others say I was not fit to be on stage with her’’ Jane did not fear the rumors.
The battle had finally begun. Jane woke up as Regina Pamela got her ready, they chose her style of clothes very casual. Since Leslie was the one over-hyped, Jane did not want to intentionally seek out attention on herself. She wanted Leslie to have all this time for herself. It was her way of helping her maybe for old time's sake. She was going to stay in the back so she killed herself just well enough to realize something can not be gained overnight. They arrived at Davious ' site where the shooting had to be carried out. Since they were in the middle of April, the weather was cold and windy. Jane had a fur coat over, she would have to stay much longer in the cold hence, Pamela made sure to cover up as soon as they got a chance to get her some warmth. ‘’Wow, look over there, Leslie and her crew are here and they are going all out for her sake’’ Regina was first to notice the team of hired reporters. The very professional makeup artist who was already attending Leslie. Everything t
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
