"You really are reliable, Aunt Samantha."
The middle-aged woman smiles proudly. "I'm much happier when you can rely on me."
"Why would I reject your help?" Calysta chuckles. "You've always supported me for a long time, Aunt. There's no way I could just forget you."
Samantha waves her hand with a blushing face. "I always felt you were the most deserving to be Austin's wife, not that burdensome woman. Why would my nephew be foolish enough to accept her just like that?"
The smile on Calysta's face disappears, replaced by a look of sadness and melancholy. Even her shoulders seem to sag weakly, as if Samantha's words had genuinely hurt her deeply. "Austin said he did it all reluctantly."
"You're right. It's all because of Kate's persuasion! That woman is no different from Jane. Just a burd

"You haven't slept, Giselle?" Harvey asks, having just woken up and finding his friend on the balcony, enjoying the night alone."Ah, not sleepy yet." Giselle turns and gives a faint smile, although her hand immediately grips her mug of warm chocolate, a sign that she's surprised by Harvey's arrival. "Why are you awake?""Thirsty," Harvey replies, squinting a bit suspiciously. He chooses to approach Giselle, who remains in her position."Nothing," Giselle shakes her head quickly, still displaying the best smile she can muster. Their work will resume on Monday, and she doesn't want their mood to be ruined by what she's holding back, even though... she can't bear to keep silent.She decided to leave Harvey because she was sure her friend wouldn't easily let her go. She doesn't want to be bombarded with questions about what she's feeling. Truly, it's quite disturbing."You're not someone who easily bluffs like that, Giselle. It takes a skilled teacher

Jane takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly. Once again, she ensures that the dress she's wearing fits perfectly, and none of her accessories are loose, including the straps of her heels this time. Her training session is nearing its end, and she needs to master the stage quickly. Brina mentioned that Jane's mistakes have been decreasing.Brina herself is amazed; Jane quickly grasps everything she directs. Could it be because of the week Jane spent with those three noisy models? If it could bring such a drastic change, maybe Brina would loosen the training schedule a bit. Three days have passed, and Jane has truly impressed her. Oh, it's not just Brina who's impressed but also Nico. Many poses can be captured from various camera angles, and like a model with extensive experience, Jane can do it."I'm ready," says Jane after making sure everything is in place. Her self-confidence is always at its maximum, even though fatigue hits her hard at the end of the training sessio

Jane sighs deeply as Kate Don William's car exits her garage. Her mind suddenly fills with thoughts, and the fatigue only adds to her depleted energy. "I never thought Austin could be that crazy."But just as she's about to step back into the house, her eyes catch the red car she recognizes and the figure emerging from it. "Am I disturbing?" he asks without a hint of guilt.The intimidating gaze from earlier, the commanding voice that couldn't be disobeyed, has been replaced. Jane identifies it as belonging to the irritating Fabian."If I say you're disturbing, you'd probably force your way in," Jane says irritably. She pushes the gate open again with a single shove. "Come in. Luckily, Mommy Kate brought cake. You'll probably like it.""Your ex-mother-in-law?"A thin grin appears on Jane's lips. "I can't see her that way. Our relationship was good long before my marriage existed.""But can I enjoy that cake with a cup of coffee? You know, I'

Days passed quickly. Practice after practice, Jane became more confident and much calmer in facing her nervousness. She tried various fashion styles just to enhance her walk on the catwalk. Brina even intentionally created an outdoor area so that Jane could get used to facing any possible mishaps during the show.Although Brina said the likelihood of such things happening was very slim, there was no harm in being prepared."I think I don't need to worry too much," Brina says while handing over a bottle of mineral water. Their last practice session has ended. Joy and relief are clearly visible on Jane's face."I'm trying to do my best, Brina. Without you, I'm nothing."Brina laughs. "Say that after all the events are over, Olive. This is just the beginning; there will be many stages to go through until you reach the safe point."Jane laughs, enjoying the refreshing water that moistens her throat. Some people are busy tidying up the remnants of their

Calysta walked with a cheerful step. Her smile refused to fade. Occasionally, she hummed softly but full of joy. The sound of the apartment's password, a sign that someone is coming, made her smile even wider. Clearly, Calysta knew who her guest was tonight.Austin. Her future husband."Hey, Love," she greeted, immediately immersing herself in his embrace.Austin laughed at the antics of his future wife, the woman he loved with all his heart. The one who would soon always be by his side in reality, no longer in hiding. No need to worry about others taking advantage of their relationship. "Seems like you're really happy, Love. Is something happening?"Calysta nodded without hesitation. She gestured for Austin to follow her to the kitchen, helping him take off the coat still clinging to his sturdy frame. She also placed his work bag near the front door. "I asked Maria to teach me some recipes at your home, Austin. So I can start getting used to taking care

Four hours before the event.Once again, Jane scans the well-arranged stage. Some staff members are seen checking and ensuring various things around."Are you nervous, Olive?"It feels like that question is completely unnecessary. Jane turns to where Brina is nearby. She smiles with a slow exhale, as if experiencing the same thing as Jane. "Not just you, Olive. Me too."Jane smiles faintly. "I thought you wouldn't feel that way."Brina sighs irritably. "The only person Fabian will look for if there's a tiny mistake is me, Olive. You know, Fabian turns into a monster if that happens."Jane laughs. She can already imagine if Brina's words come true. "So, I really have to focus here.""You have to." Brina says with a final tone. "Don't let all your rehearsals go to waste. We're all counting on you, Olive."Actually, for Jane, this trust is very heavy. The most fundamental and essential reason is because she's new to this world. Sh

The sound of music begins to play, and the welcoming speeches have been going on for a while. The backstage commotion adds to the list of anxieties hitting Jane. She repeatedly tries to calm herself while waiting for her turn. Brina has actually forbidden her from leaving the room, but Jane is still Jane.She wants to check with her own eyes how the stage is being visited by the guests. Jane can clearly see some staff in special uniforms escorting them to their designated places. Some faces are vaguely familiar to Jane's memory. Although she rarely attended business events with Austin in the past, Kate sometimes invited her to more private meetings.And it is in such places that Jane got to know some faces that are now sitting around the stage."Don't worry, everything will be fine," Jane says, squeezing each other's hands."Olive," calls Brina, making Jane turn. "Your turn is in five minutes."This is the moment. As soon as Jane steps out from bac

The world Jane steps into now seems to stop. There's only her, staring at the man in front of her. He sits calmly, with a faint smile, occasionally engaging sweetly with the woman beside him. When Austin is with her, he never acts gentle. What she sees feels like her heart being roughly squeezed."I'm here to save you, Olive."That's Fabian's voice. It sounds clear, making Jane immediately realize she shouldn't stay silent here. Jane blinks twice, convincing herself that Fabian is indeed there. She gives a faint smile while reaching out her hand. No, Jane is sure Fabian doesn't want that hand to be greeted but signals her to continue walking.So that's what Jane does. Even though she feels like her feet aren't touching the ground anymore, she tries hard to minimize any mistakes that could happen due to her silence earlier. Brina's voice giving instructions, Nico directing how she should pose appropriately with its own aesthetic value, and the voices of the noisy

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." Jane approached as she set down the cup of tea she had j

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
