The next day, Lotus arrived at work, ready to dive into another day of photo shoots, Despite her plans she was beginning to enjoy the process. She walked through the entrance of the company, just as a model angrily stomped out of Caleb's office. The woman looked frustrated and upon seeing her, she stopped Lotus in her tracks and warned her to be careful around Caleb, the head of the company. The model claimed there was something off about him.Lotus was taken aback by the sudden encounter. She had always admired Caleb from a distance, she loved his total ability to guide young models to be who they want to be. But it was just one woman's opinion, and she brushed it off as one of those things people say out of anger or spite. Shaking off the encounter, she made her way to the makeup room.All she wanted now was to climb the corporate ladder, reach the highest position in her field, and build her own architectural company once again. She had been through so much in her past, facing se
The next day, Lotus walked into the modeling agency with her heart pounding in her chest, feeling a mix of anxiety and anticipation.Sarah wasn't back yet and Lotus couldn't help but think the worst. But to allay her fears, Sarah sent a text telling her that she would be back today. Lotus found it suspicious but she decided to believe everything was all right. Sarah wasn't the overly social type and Lotus would never forgive herself if something ever happens to Sarah.She had been avoiding Caleb for the past few days, ever since their encounter and her new realization that something might actually be wrong with this modelling agency. The sudden retirement of models who were still in their prime caught her off guard.She didn't want to face him, afraid of what might happen if she did. With a determined stride, she made her way to her desk, hoping to get through the day without any encounters from anyone, she just wanted to be home and check if Sarah was doing well.As she settled into
The door creaked open, and a tall figure stepped into the room. Now, George was a man who exuded power and authority. He was made of steel and he was back to his domain of underground business. His rugged features were hardened by years of leading his criminal empire, secretly.. Today, however, he seemed even more evil and hardened than usual.Caleb stepped forward to greet George. "Have you seen her yet, George? The girl we've been trailing, Lotus?"George's face twisted into a sneer. "No. Lotus isn't going to be an easy catch. If she can disappear without a trace then she might as well cover all traces and make sure that we don't find her.Caleb's eyes narrowed as an idea formed in his mind. "Perhaps we should consider a different approach, George. There's another woman I've been keeping my eye on. She has connections, power. She could be a valuable asset to our organization."George's eyes gleamed with interest. "Tell me more, Caleb. I'm listening."Caleb smiled confidently, grate
Days passed after the incident and Lotus knew that things weren't as easy as they seemed. Most of it all, she wondered who the killer and what the intent was. Sarah had not offended anyone since they came to new York and even though there some traces she didn't want to suspect anyone.Lotus clutched her purse tightly as she made her way to work that morning. The heaviness in her heart was palpable and she couldn't deny the feat that settled in her mind. Maybe it was all a wrong idea for her to come to new York in the first place. The streets of the city were buzzing with life, but all Lotus saw was a blur of faces, lost in her own thoughts.Arriving at the office, Lotus took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. She entered the empty studio, greeted only by the sounds of her own footsteps echoing off the walls.She turned on the fluorescent lights, their harsh glare shining down onto the makeup table. With a sigh, she began meticulously applying her makeup, trying to hide the w
Lotus adjusted her wig one last time before stepping out of the car outside Natasha's house. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and walked up to the front door, mentally rehearsing her new alias, Linda, in her mind. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, her heart pounding against her chest.Natasha, who knew Lotus as Linda, opened the door with a warm smile. "Linda! You're here! Come in, come in!"Lotus smiled in return, grateful for Natasha's warm welcome. "Thank you, Natasha. It's so lovely to see you again."Natasha led Lotus inside the cozy living room, filled with the comforting chaos of children's toys and laughter. "Please, have a seat. I'll make some tea."As Lotus settled down on the couch, she admired the room, her heart heavy with emotions. She had missed her children so much, but she had to keep her true identity hidden for their safety and fot her safety. It wasn't the easiest task to do but she had to to do it.Natasha returned with a tray of steaming tea
Lotus sat nervously in Caleb's office, her gaze fixed on the mahogany desk that separated her from her boss. Caleb was a tall, charismatic man with piercing blue eyes and a well-groomed beard. He exuded power and authority, which made her a bit inferior since she started working with him. But with her new discoveries she was begining to find him suspicious. They had been working since morning, arranging the documents and files of models that have applied to be branded. Lotus found the list outrageous and wondered what they found so interesting. To her, it was just a waste of time and a danger zone. She couldn't help but feel that the shooting of Sarah was because she was a model in this company. Lotus had still not shared to anyone about her discoveries, not even Natasha. Even though she knew that she was keeping her identities fro Natasha, lotus could vouch that Natasha would always offer ways to help. Lotus would ne forever grateful to the woman for making sure that she didn't abor
The next days flew by into the wind and Lotus found herself working strenuously. Everyone at the office sympathized with her concerning Sarah but she couldn't help the feeling that some of them were accomplices so she distanced herself from virtually all of them.Within the next few days, Caleb had been taking her fo external shoots and meeting. she was begining to find it annoying but to keep her real intentions under cover, Lotus had to just go with it damning the consequences because she knew exactly what she was doing.****** Lotus awoke feeling the weight of exhaustion and sickness weighing her down. She groaned as she reached for her cellphone on the nightstand, her head pounding with each movement. She knew she couldn't make it to work today, not in this state. She knew that she had a shoot scheduled for the day but she would be forced to cancel it.She typed out a quick text to Caleb, informing him of her absence and hit send. Minutes later Caleb's call fired her phone scr
Peter and his men had set out for New York. The news of his departure startled the whole of San Francisco. Though the news wasn't stated trust the media to get whatever information they wanted without even having to lift a limb. Some of them would actually have to go through all the troubles for some peace of information that wasn't even worth one's time.Peter, this time was clear of his plans. He recalled his discussion with Elvis."Do you think she would just open her arms to you? Are you ready for your imminent rejection?" Elvis asked, his brow challenging his friend and an amused smirk on his face.Peter straightened his gait, staring at his hardened reflection in the mirror. His eye held a certain determination that killed any ounce of fear or weakness. He had succumbed to that way and it only landed him into his failed and broken relationship. And this time, he was going to set the wrongs right."When did I ever I am not ready for a challenge?""Really?" Elvis crossed his hands

Peter sat in his dimly-lit ground office, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone when a headline caught his eye. It was about Lotus. With a mix of shock and relief, he read the article that confirmed her whereabouts. This time, he vowed to himself, he wouldn't let his past mistakes get in the way. He was genuinely concerned for her well-being, especially now that Sheila, the woman who had come between them, was dead.Later that day, as Peter strolled the halls of his opulent mansion, he received a phone call from one of his men named John. The urgency in John's voice piqued Peter's interest, as he listened intently to the news. Sheila's autopsy had revealed that she had not taken her own life, but had been killed by a gunshot instead. Peter's shock turned quickly to anger as he realized the severity of the situation. Despite all the wrongs Sheila had done to him, he still felt a sense of duty to bring her killers to justice.He wasted no time, making his way to his private office
One week later.Lotus slowly opened her eyes, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she found herself in the luxurious bedroom of her grand mansion. Rubbing her temples, she sat up and glanced at the clock on her bedside table. It was 7 a.m. She sighed deeply, realizing that the time had come to face her past and mend the broken bonds with her children.Just as she was about to swing her legs out of bed, the door creaked open, and her lifelong friend, Sarah, entered the room. Sarah's soft brown eyes were filled with concern as she asked, "Lotus, are you ready?"Lotus hesitated for a moment, gazing down at her hands. "I... I need just a minute, Sarah," she murmured, her voice filled with a mix of apprehension and hope.Sarah nodded understandingly and gave her a reassuring smile. "Take all the time you need, my dear. You've come so far, and now it's time for this important step towards reconciling with Jenny and James."Lotus sighed, the past week has been very very hectic for her she
Lotus Kent paced back and forth in her luxurious penthouse, her mind ablaze with a burning rage that threatened to consume her. She was ready to make the whole world pay for the pain they had caused her, for the countless sleepless nights spent plotting her revenge.After years of being used like a pawn and a chest in some people's game, she was ready to serve them revenge in a very cold dish. All her life she had always wanted to be at the top with her children and the man that she loved dearly but it turned out that Peter did not have the same vision as she had. Even with her fake identity as Linda, Peter still does not have an ounce of care or remorse and is still following Sheila around him every time. She was supposed to be enraged and angry at his obvious betrayal but there was nothing she could do because now she was willing herself to kill the little love she had for him.But another nagging question has been on her mind, why did he come to New York? Could it be that they had
Sheila's eyes fluttered open, and as her vision cleared, she realized she was tied to a chair. Panic surged through her veins as her gaze fell upon the lifeless bodies of popular models strewn across the room. It all suddenly made sense. George was a killer, and she was next on his list.Her heart rate picked up as fear welled up in her she didn't know she had been relating and being in contact with a killer and a criminal. She had always known that something was wrong with him and the way he does his things but now it all makes sense he was a killer and who knows maybe he wanted to get Lotto show also kill her.But why? Why does he have this sick obsession to kill why does he want to take the life of young models, her heart was racing and pummeling so fast against her chest that she didn't even know what to do. But despite the way she felt she felt a new sense of living and reality. She has been so down on her obsession with Peter that it has clouded her adjustment that she can't ev
Sheila stared out the window of her penthouse, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against the glass. She despised the mere thought of Linda being near Peter, the man she believed was rightfully hers. It made her blood boil with jealousy and anger. Something had to be done, and she knew just the person to take care of her little problem.All her life she had always wanted Peter and merely knowing the fact that Linda and Peter were kind of close made her blood boil with anger she couldn't believe that yet again another person was trying to take Peter away from her after all the stress she has gone through into removing notice from the picture. But sadly there was nothing to hold Linda on Sheila didn't even know her well but she knew that there was something about her that seemed very familiar and even the way she spoke and worked seemed like something that Sheila had seen once in a life but Sheila brought the talking me not even want you to think about the possibilities of Linda bein
The sun had just started its descent, casting golden rays over the sprawling grounds of Peter's mansion. Sheila stood at the entrance, a determined gleam in her eyes. Today was the day she would confront Peter, no matter the consequences. She was going to meet him and damn the consequences. She adjusted her blouse, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.Peter opened the door, surprise etching lines on his face. "Sheila, what are you doing here?" he demanded, his voice laced with a hint of annoyance.Sheila squared her shoulders, refusing to back down. "I'm here to tell you that I won't let you run away from me, Peter. I will follow you, no matter where you go or what you do."Peter's face hardened the warmth in his eyes disappearing. "If you try anything funny, I promise you, Sheila, I will make sure you are destroyed," he threatened coldly.Sheila refused to buckle under his intimidating gaze. She had made up her mind, come what may. "Fine," she said, her voice laced with determi
