LUCYS POV.Obsession starts in different ways and I was most definitely sure of what I saw in Ethan's eyes today when I mentioned why he was looking for her.Obsession! Possessiveness. And it's annoying me.I sat at my desk, staring at the picture from the folder that Ethan had given me. Reina, the woman he was so desperate to find. I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Why was he so obsessed with her?He was already married else I would have concluded that she was his wife but his wife was here and she was a punk ass bitch so who the hell was this bitch?I thought back to why I had returned to Pentagon City. I had achieved my dream of becoming a top designer, and now I was back to reclaim my childhood love - Ethan. But it seemed he had moved on.And not only moved on with a wife but with a mistress, I suppose."Lucy, focus." I told myself, shaking my head. I had a job to do. I need to find who this chick was.Not for the sake of doing my job and submitting to Ethan but for the
Lucy's POVI slammed the door shut behind me, my heart racing with anger and hurt as i bent and pulled off my shoes, throwing them wherever they landed. I didn't care. Ethan had just dropped me off, and I couldn't believe what had just happened.I had never been more hurt in my wole life and right now I wish I can get a voodoo doll and stab it all over his face.Bestfriend my foot.We'd been at dinner, a dinner that I had proposed and all he could talk about was Reina. Reina this, Reina that. It was like I was invisible.Like I wasn't even seated right in front of me. He kept asking me what I found out about Reina additionally when everything I got was in the mail I sent him.Why would he even be talking about his mistress in my presence? My heart was hurting at this point and I slumped into my chair that was at the living room."Let's not jeopardize our friendship." he'd said, with a smile that made my heart ache and he had said it too bluntly that already suggested to me how much
LucyThe sound from the tapping of keys on my keyboard was the only actual living sound that anyone would hear if they entered my office.I had searched Reina Gray online and it didn't seem like she was the kind of person that lived her life on social media. Even hate speeches against her were taken down and it made me all the more curious as to who the hell she was.I needed to know more about her, beyond the surface level. What made her tick? What was her relationship with Ethan like?Why did he want to find her? Why does she seem almost too important to him? Every single time, Ethan talked about her, he acted like she was a priceless jewel.Because of the unseen Reina, i hadn't been communing well with my bestfriend. He didn't bother to askme how my day went or if I had eaten, always acting like he didn't care.The only time you would find him smiling is when you push a folder of "REINA'S where abouts" I took a deep breath and made a decision. I would go to meet Ravenna, Ethan's w
Lucy.I stormed into work the next day, still fuming from what Ravenna had told me. Ethan still loved his ex? It was unbelievable.How could he still love his ex? And now, he was asking me to search for her? It felt like a betrayal, a slap in the face even if he didn't know it.As I sat at my desk, trying to focus on my work, Ethan walked in, a smile on his face. "Hey, Lucy! I need to talk to you about something."I raised an eyebrow, surprised. "What is it?""I have another task for you," he said, oblivious to my anger. "I need you to send out some top models to Reina's company in Paris."My jaw dropped. "Reina's company?"Ethan nodded, still smiling. "Yes, that's the one. I want to make sure she gets the best talent models for her launch."I felt a surge of anger and betrayal. He was still pining for his ex, and now he was asking me to help her?"Ethan, I don't know if I'm comfortable with this," I said, trying to keep my emotions in check.He looked at me, confused. "What's wrong,
LUCY.Plans were set in motion and I could finally dig into Reina without feeling like I wanted to hang myself.I was sitting at my desk, typing away on my computer, when Ethan suddenly bursted in with an HR beside him."Lucy, I need you to do something for me." He said and turned to the H.R"Sheri, I forgot my briefcase at home," he exclaimed, looking frazzled and worried.Sheri, who was standing across from him, raised an eyebrow. "You can't go home now, Sir. You have a meeting in fifteen minutes. What's going on?"Ethan ran his hands through his hair, looking stressed. "I know, I know. I'm so sorry. Lucy, can I ask a favor of you?"I looked up from my computer, curious and concerned. "Of course, Ethan. What do you need?"He hesitated for a moment before handing me his house keys. "I need you to go to my house and get my briefcase. It's on the kitchen table. Please, Lucy, I really need this."I took the keys, feeling a sense of responsibility and worry. "Okay, Ethan, I'll go get it.
Ethan's POV I watched in shock as Ravenna slapped Lucy again after I asked them both to leave but i didn't care enough tosay a word. The two women began to fight, their voices raised in anger."Get out! Both of you!" I finally shouted, trying to intervene because my head seemed like it would split into two But they didn't listen. They continued to fight, their argument spilling out into the hallway.I tried to separate them, but they pushed him away. Finally, i had had enough. "Leave! Now!" I shouted, pointing to the door.The two women stormed out of the apartment, still arguing. I slammed the door shut behind them and locked it, trying to block out the sound of their fighting.I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but my mind was racing. I couldn't believe what had just happened. I had just missed a million dollar meeting just to get caught up in a banter between two women. I walked to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of whiskey.I decided to distract himself by goin
REINAI stood in my office, looking out at the bustling preparations for my fashion brand's launch. My heart was racing with excitement and nerves. This was it, the moment I had been working towards for months.But as I thought about the financial burden it was going to put on me, my excitement started to falter. I felt a knot in my stomach, a sense of doubt creeping in.Just as I was starting to feel overwhelmed, my assistant burst into the room, a huge smile on her face. "Reina, you won't believe who's here to see you!"I raised an eyebrow, curious. "Who is it?""Some of the top models in the industry," my assistant replied, barely containing her excitement. "They're offering to model for your fashion brand and help with the launch... for free!"I couldn't believe my ears. Top models? Offering to work for free? It sounded too good to be true.I felt a surge of hope and excitement. Could this be the answer to my prayers?The models walked into my office, and I was struck by their bea
REINAIt was finally the day of the launch, and I was a nervous wreck. What if the top models bailed on me at the last minute? What if they didn't show up because they weren't getting paid?But as I arrived at the venue, I was relieved to see that everything was going smoothly. The models were all there, getting their hair and makeup done, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement."Reina, darling, you look stunning!" one of the models exclaimed, air-kissing my cheeks."Thanks, girls! You all look amazing too!" I replied, trying to hide my nervousness.As the guests started arriving, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. This was it, my big moment, and everything was going perfectly."Reina, this is incredible!" Bruce said, coming up to me with a huge smile on his face. "You've outdone yourself."I beamed with pride. "Thanks, Bruce. I couldn't have done it without your help."As the launch went on, I couldn't help but feel grateful for everything. The mode
