Leslie flaunted her beauty, no one could resist praising her and giving her good compliments, she was shining as the stars of the night. Everything Was just perfect, whereas Jane was not the same. She sat so quietly making some forget she was even there. She did not see the need to talk or hold small chats. Leslie was not the same, she held long conversations with literally everything and everything. It was even easier for the staff to term her the easygoing one amongst the both of them. While Jane had no emotion on her face, they could not say if she was happy or just proving arrogant, but of course, they all went with she was just arrogant. ‘’Miss, Leslie since you appear to be done, why don't you join the photographer and have your solos taken first?’’ the photographer's assistant said, ushering her in. She was a young lady of better 19 or 20. She had good command over both the French and English language which was impressive for someone of her age. Leslie stood up giving Jane a
Dave came back just a minute after leaving. Jane and Leslie both turn simultaneously towards him. ‘’The next shot will have both of you in it. Jane, I expect you not to cause problems and the same goes for you Leslie’’ Dave warned both ladies sternly. ‘’Of course, Jane had been the one causing all the problems so I will surely keep an eye on her,’’ Leslie replied arrogantly. Dave did not like the attitude he was getting from Jane. She was quiet throughout and wouldn't spare him a word. He had expected her to say something after seeing them together or have sought some reaction but nothing came. She rather turned to the Makeup artist asking for some stuff he was careless about. He was enraged. She had said she loved him, she was ready to marry him a few months ago and now seeing him with another woman did not make her react at all. Dave could not help but question himself. had he been the one using her or could it have been the other way around? Jane was fast rising and so was her
Jane and Leslie continued with the shots. It took a good number of posts and captured closure for them to be finished.Once they were done, Leslie hung around and took every praise showered on Jane by the crew. She did not understand French and hence could not tell every word said by the crew and the photographer was not for her but for Jane. She held herself up high, according to her, it was her time to shine. Jane did not insist nor did she push her out of the way, on the contrary, she let Leslie make a continuous fool of herself. Her translator was too embarrassed to tell her the true meaning of the words. Nothing they said was for her, it was all Jane and not Leslie. A high pompous model like her would think the poor translator would be lying if she were to be told the truth. Jane sat back down patiently waiting for her to be done. Once Leslie had enough of the compliments she quickly ran back to the fitting room where Dave was waiting for her. The photographer did have the tim
Leslie had been so consumed by anger that she did not notice the glass of water Nathan had handed over to her slipping away. The shattering noise filled the room. Just when they all thought all was okay, Pamela let out a heart-wrenching scream. ‘’Oh, Jane you're bleeding’’ she rushed over examining the little cuts. Regina could not believe Leslie had the nerve to do such a vicious thing to Jane. The smile on her face made it clear it had been anything but a mistake. A model's legs are her most precious asset, but Leslie just dared to ruin Jane forever. ‘’oh my god, Jane your leg, oh how will we tell..’’ ‘’Pamela, you should get my phone so we call the insurance company’’ Regina was quick to stop Pamela from saying anything more. She was in shock and it was understandable. ‘’Insurance? Jane come on we all know it was only but an accident’’ Leslie spoke up. Contacting the insurance company would mean going to court if need be. The room had security footage and there was no way she
While waiting for Regina to bring the car, Jane watched Kelly walk from a distance straight to her. ‘’Today is not your day is it?’’ Pamela jokes. Kelly had this mocking smug on her face. They were staring right at each other. Jane was not going to let her intimidate her. She did not break eye contact, Kelly walked right up to her slightly pushing her shoulders as she walked past her. ‘’The day of the release would be the time Iwill show you just where you belong. I will make sure it is your last in the modeling industry’’ the loudness of her voice was worth mocking. Jane could not help but feel the siblings were finger-tight around Leslie. How much did they believe in her to think she alone was enough to send her away from the modeling industry? ‘’And how are you going to see to the finalization of that? Do you believe Leslie is so capable of taking me down?’’ Jane sure did want to know. ‘’Jane, I know your pride comes from having spent so much time internationally in your year
When they arrived home Jane was still very much fast asleep, Damon wasted no time in carrying her to their room. He made her comfortable before stepping out to get the first aid box. When he was done tendering her wounds, Regina and Pamela drove in. They had deviated from a cup of caffeine. Despite their win and anticipated announcement. They both knew Damon was waiting for them. Their big boss would need answers only they could provide. Hiding things from him was the best of options as he was like a shield. Everything that came through had to go by him first. Regina peeped into the living area making sure it was empty before they could walk in. They were not the ones who had hurt Jane’s legs but they were scared. It was due to their carelessness and underestimation of Leslie that Jane now had small cuts on her legs. Both ladies knew they couldn't run forever, however they were willing to take their chances. Pamela was scared of what he might do to Leslie and Dave. Unlike Jane,
Jane woke up, she glanced around, the curtains were pulled and very little light penetrated the room. From the little peek, she could tell it was dark already. She remembered being picked up by Damon. She felt better after a good nap. Jane could not help but remember the events of the day. Something about everything had made her regret why she had gotten together with Dave in the first place. She hated how she had opened up to his family and had accepted them as part of her. They did not deserve it, Kelly did not deserve all the love she had showered on her in the past. She was Dave’s sister hence Jane had not been expecting much from her but she was worse. Kelly was far worse than the devil. Not only did she make things difficult for her but as a fellow lady Jane had at least expected her to act cordially. Jane had expected her to understand and not take everything to heart. But this did not seem to be the case as Kelly was rather looking forward to her disgrace personally, she ha
Early the next morning, Jane woke up more energetic, and breakfast was served to her in bed. She had nothing much to do as the lunch with Lookious was not until later, she just lay in bed and let thoughts of the man who occupied her heart keep her company. Unlike the previous day when she had been sad, she was content. She was not only ready to face the day ahead with a positive mind, but her heart felt relieved and no longer heavy. Damon walks in on time to help her zip up her dress. He leans down, kisses her neck and naps gently. Despite them going way beyond unlike last time, she still felt so tinglish at his slightest touch. ‘’ Hmmm,’’ a moan escaped her soft lips. Damon smirks, he got what he wanted. He stares at her through the mirror. Their reflection looking back at them was the best thing Jane had had in years. She was content in having the man before her as hers. ‘’I love you’’ Damon whispers to her, not breaking eye contact. Jane smiled before turning to face him, she wa
