2024-10-29 19:42:56It seems the words of the three girls who recently entered Jane's life are true. Brina is a harsh stepmother. Jane has stumbled countless times, walked not to Brina's liking, and goodness, just a bit—when Jane lowers her hand slightly, she gets a stern warning.
The stick Brina carries during Jane's training sessions has hit Jane's hands and feet countless times. No, not to strike as a warning, but the stick's tip has a dye that immediately marks Jane's skin. Signaling how many mistakes Jane has made.
"Once more, Olive." Brina points to the catwalk's branch in front of her. The branch also forms another angle connected to each other. So, as Jane practices walking there, she occasionally stops right at the intersection. Striking a few standard poses as directed by Brina.
It's not just Brina there. The style director is also involved in Jane's training session this time. Well, for the next few days, Jane will be with them.
Brina's command is met with a

The heat hitting him today didn't deter the man neatly dressed in an expensive suit from stepping out of his car. He didn't need a hat just to ward off the sun that could give him a headache. The issues that came his way were much more troubling than just avoiding the sun's heat.His steps lead to a grave he had visited not long ago. The bond formed years ago made occasional visits feel like no trouble amidst his busy work schedule.Once again, he checks his belongings. "Hey, Uncle," he softly greets, placing the bouquet he guarded throughout the journey. "How are you?"No response, just the whisper of the wind. Cool, but it sends shivers down his spine. Did his greeting receive a response? Who knows. Richard didn't want to find out."Does Austin visit often?" He chuckles. "I don't think so. He comes when he needs you. But don't worry. Austin still can't accept your departure. He's still filled with regrets, but sadly, your son is foolish, Uncle."

Calysta doesn't want to wipe away her smile just yet. Her eyes have been satisfied with a bundle of books about wedding venues and all the related matters. Austin mentioned that there would be no more delays in their wedding."This is all interesting," says Calysta, closing the book in her hands. "I'm impressed with all the models you've shown, the explanations you've been rambling about. And, well... some of the concepts you've proposed have piqued my interest."Margareth pulls the corners of her lips wide. "We have experience handling weddings for many influential families in this country. You can check our profiles, and coincidentally, we've handled several parties organized by the Don William family."Calysta crosses her legs and leans back comfortably. Her eyes gaze at her interlocutor with a calm look, but one thing is certain in her mind; she doesn't want to use Margareth for her event."Does that mean everything you offer has been used by others i

Giselle invited Jane Olive to join the group.At first, Jane hesitated about whether she should accept Giselle's request to join the chat group that might have been created a long time ago. Who was she to suddenly be in their social circle? But honestly, Jane was thrilled to be warmly accepted by the three of them.After Fabian's departure, she wanted to rest, knowing that tomorrow would be a long day to get through. She couldn't close her eyes immediately; her mind was focused on Giselle's request on her phone.(Giselle: Why did it take so long for you to accept?)(Giselle: Are you already asleep? Oh, you must be tortured by Step-Mom Brina. I feel sorry for your fate, Olive.)Whether she liked it or not, Jane chuckled. Her hands instinctively replied to Giselle's message.[Jane.Olive: You're right. Brina is indeed a bit cruel.]Giselle responded with many eye-rolling emojis.

Maria's grilled shrimp never fails to whet Austin's appetite. It's been a while since he felt the joy of sitting at the dining table, relishing the served dishes, and filling his stomach."Maria made all of this special for you, Austin," Kate smiles faintly. Her gaze never leaves her son, who has been eagerly waiting for dinner."I haven't had Maria's cooking in a long time."Kate grins thinly. "You rarely have dinner at home, Austin."Austin looks at his mother with an unreadable expression."But I'm glad that you're finally coming home more often and sitting here. Keeping your old mother company for dinner."He sighs softly. "Can we go through dinner comfortably tonight, Mom? Can we?""I won't start anything that makes you uncomfortable, Son. What I said is the truth." Kate smiles. "I'm truly grateful to enjoy dinner with you again."Perhaps, during the journey to his home, Austin was disturbed by Calysta's words. It's true,

"Your work today was amazing, Giselle. All the photo sessions went well, and I think everyone involved in this project agrees, you're shining even brighter."Giselle laughs lightly, taking a water bottle to quench her thirst. The afternoon air is quite hot and quickly makes her feel parched. Tiana, who has been with her since earlier, promptly approaches with a large umbrella to shield them from the heat."You all worked hard today. Thanks for making me comfortable," Giselle says with a wide smile. Almost all the crew on duty, even down to the smallest line that is rarely seen, agrees: Giselle is indeed a professional model who understands etiquette.Her work is done for the day.

Jane didn't want to end up in Fabian's car again. She had declined several times, but Fabian always found a way for her to sit there, including using a bit of a threat regarding the results of her recent training. Yet, Jane vividly remembered the praises from Brina and Nico about what she had gone through. Jane restrained herself from complaining because this was the path she had chosen. There was no turning back. Moreover, even if she turned back, the question of how she would support herself kept haunting her. "At the end of the road, there's a popular bakery. Want to stop by?" Fabian broke the silence between them. This ride home, Jane preferred to keep quiet. Not that she didn't want to share her complaints, but she realized one point: Fabian was now her boss. He generously gave her rides for many reasons. That's all Jane could think of. She didn't want to speculate too much weird stuff because... the show wasn't over yet. There was a growing sense of wor

The long dress with a trailing Swarovski crystal-studded tail perfectly hugged Giselle's slender body. The dress highlighted every curve, making Giselle look even more captivating. Tiana was convinced that tonight, all the praises and attention would be directed at Giselle, the star of the evening.Although it had happened many times before, in Tiana's eyes, what Giselle wore at certain times was still dazzling. "Are you sure this isn't too much?" Giselle asks while adjusting her hair. "It's just a regular gala dinner, right?"Tiana laughs. "Even though I think tonight's dinner is ordinary, the impact of your arrival is definitely not ordinary."Giselle sighs. "Alright, let's go. I don't like lingering there."The assistant, who is with Giselle, quickly follows. She makes sure to inform the driver to be ready in the lobby. Giselle doesn't like waiting for too long there. Besides being the new center of attention, Giselle herself is uncomfortable if someon

Nothing beats the joy for Jane as she walks through Giselle's unit lobby. She's here to fulfill her promise of making healthy snacks for her new friend. Although parts of her body are sore from the intense pre-weekend workout. She had to wear numerous dresses and accessories, apparently as an experiment to train her body balance for walking on the catwalk.Not sparing any effort, a crown with many crystal strands resembling dewdrops is placed on her head. If it were fake, Jane might not worry too much about slipping. However, Brina casually mentioned that the crown is made of genuine Swarovski crystals. Its wide surface is polished with gold and adorned with other beautiful gemstones.What if Jane and the crown fall? Well, Jane can't fathom Brina's overly extreme decision.The crown was used during the 'Under the Sea' themed show that Ursula presented with absolute success. Why wouldn't it be? Hundreds of turquoise blue dresses worn by Ursula were sold out in tw

Jane tightened the coat she was wearing a little. The road she was walking on was a little slippery, even though she was wearing boots and watching her step, she still had to be very careful. The air around her dropped a few degrees from what she expected."Are you okay?" asked Fabian as he fixed the scarf Jane was wearing."That question is for you, Fabian." Jane chuckled. Fabian's face was already very red from the cold that hit them."You're really out of your depth when it comes to the place you'd most like to visit." Fabian spluttered. Rubbing his hands even though he was wearing gloves."But this place is exotic, right?"Fabian could not disagree with Jane's words just now. Especially seeing the twinkle that wouldn't leave since they arrived at the airport closest to this place. no. not close, but within reach of the place where they spent their days and time together after becoming husband and wife.The trip to Tibet was tiring but Ja

Jane couldn't help but laugh. "Forgive Fabian then.""No!" Rosalyn shook her head. "After you are married, you must stay at our house. There's a lot we want to hear about your relationship. Oh, my God! Fabian was really testing my patience. Why else would Zephyr have such a troublesome brother like Fabian!"The woman wasn't really angry. Just grumbling about her brother's behavior which she thought was a bit out of line. More than anything, Rosalyn was happy and touched. There was nothing she could do but wish them both happiness. Although the relationship between her husband and Fabian was not blood, couldn't a brotherhood be formed because of the setting? After all, Zephyr's affection for Fabian was not a trivial matter.Rosalyn realized that."We will definitely visit often, Ros. I promise. I'll make Fabian obey me in visiting you."Rosalyn smiled brightly. "Ah..." she felt like pulling Jane into her arms but it was impossible. She might get ang

"Quiet look on your face, Olive," Ursula said casually, but at least this redheaded woman's arrival came with the mineral bottle Jane needed."Hey, you're talking out of your ass," Harvey retorted with a disapproving glint in his eye. It's so representative of Jane's expression that he has to keep his smile and the outfit he's wearing this afternoon. He wants to talk a lot but the tension that's engulfing him doesn't go away easily."Did you forget how tense you were before the ceremony to legalize marriage?" Harvey spoke again with a look that had not been released from Ursula. The insinuated one, meanwhile, just shrugged her shoulders without feeling guilty. His hand skillfully unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Jane.As she said, "Drink first, relieve the tension. It's even more tense in front of the priest. You're about to take your vows for life with Fabian. You know, that's the moment when you have to convince your heart whether you can live togethe

Austin stared for a long time at the cell phone that displayed news about his ex-wife. Many things had apparently been accomplished by the woman who once lived with him in the big house that was now much quieter. Not wanting any regrets, Austin chose to put the phone back in the drawer.Their last meeting, although it left quite a deep impression on Austin, still wouldn't change anything. everything that had happened, could not be regretted more deeply. It was useless. He also didn't want to dwell on what was present in his life. He had to keep going, right? There was no way he could stay in the same spot while lamenting why he could be so stupid as to give a judgment?"You deserve real happiness, not a false one that ends horribly when you're with me, Jane." Austin let out a long sigh. His eyes were firmly closed with his hands clenched. He shook his head softly as his mind suddenly replayed the memory of his ex-wife's presence in the house."At least God is st

"How was your honeymoon?" asked Giselle without any awkwardness. She was being helped to wear a peach-colored dress that wrapped her body gracefully. On the back, there was a large, well-embroidered ribbon decorated with beautiful maple leaves."Do I have to tell you in detail?" Ursula gave Harvey an ignorant glance. "You must be curious, right, Harvey?"The girl who was wearing brocade gloves just chuckled. Her eyes looked at Ursula through the reflection of the large mirror in front of her. "Aren't you the one who requested special teaching from me because you have no experience?"Ursula spluttered but then, looked up as if she was already an expert in the matter they were talking about. "But I can honestly say, I didn't use any of your advice."Harvey stuck out his tongue. "How could I!""Ask Richard directly how I acted in front of him.""I don't think it was Richard who pounced on Sula. It was the other way around." Giselle had finished

"Looks like he's busy with his cell phone." Brina giggled in the doorway of Giselle's room. Jane stood not far from her. In her hand was a tray of chicken soup and porridge that she had made for Giselle.Hoping that the girl's appetite would return and her health would gradually improve. But it seemed, from the slight crack in Giselle's door that was not closed tightly, it could already be seen that Giselle was fine.Minus her pretty face scowling with eyes focused on the cell phone."But if you wait outside, Giselle won't eat this soup." Jane smiled slightly and knocked lightly on Giselle's bedroom door. Suddenly, the girl was slightly startled and hid her cell phone.Just like a teenage girl who was caught doing something. But so be it. As long as nothing made Giselle sad or disappointed, Jane was happy."I hope you like my cooking."Giselle smiled widely. "When would I turn it down." She prepared to sit on the back of the bed. The blanket

"I just want to go home," Giselle said in a low tone but her eyes were full of pleading. Which made Jane sigh repeatedly. I don't know how many times she shook her head with excuses, but none of Jane's words were heard by Giselle."Until your IV bag runs out, Giselle. The doctor is very tolerant of that." Harvey spoke this time. There was an unspoken but clearly audible final tone that made Giselle look away."You're so stubborn!" Harvey scowled. He was getting a bit annoyed with Giselle's childish behavior this time. It was much more troublesome with Giselle's unreasonable behavior than Ursula's indulgence that sometimes made him uneasy.Brina, who had been accompanying Giselle, could only remain silent. It also seemed like she had given up on giving many words to the beautiful girl who was lying weak."Can you leave us alone?" asked Jane which made them all look at her in surprise. Which Jane greeted with a warm smile. "I want to talk to Giselle. You do

As the grand show approached, there was nothing much Jane could do. The four pillars of SEO were specially asked to participate in the event to commemorate SEO's eighth anniversary. For most people who are familiar with SEO's signature clothing pieces, this event is highly anticipated. Because there will be many surprises given by Fabian there.Including special discounts for the purchase of certain items.Who wouldn't be tempted? Plus being able to attend the event, which for this year opened up a much wider reach."The concept is really good," says Giselle as she enjoys Jane's fruit jelly. The trip to Long Island and then to Milan and back to the city center where she lives was quite draining. She felt like her body could collapse at any moment. And it also felt like she had a queasy stomach.The effects of a long trip were quite miserable for Giselle."You'd better get some rest, Giselle."

The wedding party, which was predicted to be the most luxurious party of the year, was very well organized. Not many problems occurred because Ursula hired the services of a leading WO and was known for her very high-flying hours at major celebrity events. This includes officials and influential people living in the country.The red-haired girl's smile was beautiful as she accompanied all the events that took place a few hours after the sacred vows between them were lovingly exchanged."I don't know who's lucky to get who," Harvey says, wiping the corners of his eyes. Beside him sat Giselle and Jane. He was in the middle of his two friends. Not only her, but her two friends also seemed to be moved by the bond that was now in Ursula's life."They're both lucky, Harvey," Giselle said with a big smile. "I'm so happy today to witness the beginning of Sula's happiness.""You're right." Jane chimed in. "I pray they are always blessed with happiness.""Ca
