I met with my lawyer, Mr. Thompson, at his office early in the morning. The air was thick with anticipation. Today was the day we would serve Luke with the court papers. I had been waiting for this moment, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Mr. Thompson looked up from his desk, his expression calm and reassuring.

"Are the papers ready?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Yes, Carina," Mr. Thompson replied with a nod. "Everything is in order. We're ready to move forward."

I took a deep breath and nodded. "Good. Let's do this."

We left Mr. Thompson's office and headed to my office first. There were a few things I needed to take care of before confronting Luke. The drive was quiet, both of us lost in our thoughts. The city buzzed around us, oblivious to the storm brewing in my life.

At my office, I handled some urgent emails and signed a few documents. It was a necessary distraction, something to keep my mind from spiraling. My assistant, Jenna, sensed my tension and

    The sun had barely risen when I heard the familiar chime of my phone. Groggily, I reached over to my nightstand and grabbed it, squinting at the screen. It was an email from Madam Katie. Curious, I opened it, blinking to clear my vision. As the content of the email sank in, I bolted upright in bed, wide awake.Madam Katie had sent me a proposal from a major entertainment company. Not just any company, but one of the biggest names in the industry. The same company my sister Nelly had been dreaming of working with for years. I couldn't help but laugh at the irony. This was perfect.I quickly dialed Madam Katie's number. After a few rings, she answered, her voice as composed as ever."Good morning, Carina," she said."Morning, Madam Katie," I replied, barely containing my excitement. "I just saw your email. This is huge!"She chuckled softly. "I thought you might find it interesting. What do you plan to do?""Oh, I'm definitely going to do it," I said, grinning. "I can't wait to see Nell

    Nelly Westwood was lounging on the sofa in the family living room, flipping through channels absentmindedly. She had spent the better part of the morning sulking over her recent string of bad luck. Her career had hit a stagnant point, and nothing seemed to be going her way. As she settled on a news channel, her mood darkened further when the anchor mentioned a name she had grown to despise: Carina."Today, in a major industry move, Carina Rodriguez has signed a groundbreaking deal with one of the leading entertainment companies," the anchor announced. "This partnership promises to bring innovative and exciting projects to the market. Carina Rodriguez is seen here with the company's representatives, looking confident and radiant."Nelly's heart sank as images of Carina flashed on the screen. Carina's smile was wide and genuine, a smile that Nelly was sure was directed at her, mocking her failure. Carina looked every bit the successful, unstoppable force she had always feared her to be

    I was in the middle of finalizing some details for an upcoming project when I heard a knock on the door. I looked up to see Maddie, my best friend, standing there with a worried expression on her face."Hey, Maddie! Come in," I said, waving her in. "You look stressed. What's up?"Maddie sighed and flopped onto the couch. "I have this big event tomorrow night, and I have nothing to wear. I've looked everywhere, but nothing seems right."I leaned back in my chair, thinking for a moment. Then, an idea struck me. "Wait a second," I said, getting up. "I think I have something that might work."I walked over to the large wardrobe in the corner of my office. Inside were some of my old designs, dresses I had sketched and sewn myself over the years. I hadn't shown them to many people, especially not after Luke had crushed my confidence by burning some of my creations and calling them trash.I turned to Maddie, feeling a bit nervous. "I have some designs I made a while back. They're not profess

    Luke sat in his plush living room, scrolling through the internet on his tablet. His jaw clenched as he saw Carina's name and designs plastered everywhere. It was those very designs he had belittled, criticized, and even destroyed. Now, they were making her a superstar in the fashion world. Every post, every article, every celebrity endorsement was a testament to her talent and perseverance. He felt a surge of anger and jealousy mixed with regret.As he continued to scroll, his mother, Claire, walked in. She had a stern look on her face, one Luke knew all too well."Have you seen the news?" Claire asked sharply, crossing her arms.Luke didn't bother looking up. "Yes, I've seen it."Claire's voice rose. "You fumbled a billionaire, Luke! How could you let this happen?"Luke finally looked up, his eyes blazing with anger. "Why are you acting like you ever loved Carina? We both know you never saw her as a good daughter-in-law. You even tried to kill her! So why the sudden change of heart?

    I was sitting in my office, reviewing some new designs for our upcoming collection, when my phone rang. It was the spy I had placed to keep an eye on Luke. I took a deep breath before answering, curious about what new scheme Luke might be hatching now."Hello?" I said, trying to keep my voice calm."Carina, it's me," the spy said in a low voice. "I've got some news about Luke."I leaned back in my chair, a slight smile playing on my lips. "Go on.""Luke's planning to play dirty to get you back. He's going to try and manipulate you, make you think he's the only one who truly understands you. He thinks if he can make your life difficult without him, you'll come running back."I couldn't help but laugh. "Is that so? Well, let him try. I've played this game before, and I know how to play it better. I'm ready for whatever he throws at me.""Are you sure?" the spy asked, a hint of concern in his voice. "Luke can be pretty ruthless.""Trust me, I know," I said, my voice steady. "But I've de

    Luke sat down in his room , His mind filled with ways possible to get Carina to be back in his shell, As he saw the update and how she was all over the internet, He thought about the ways possible to get her to be his again . Just immediately, His childhood friend, Jammy, walked in . “ Jammy I have even more bigger problems to attend to ,My life is about to take a turn that I can't even control” Luke frowned. “ Are you trying to tell me that you have no idea,She was the heir of such wealthy and powerful company, And even her amazing talent as a fashion designer” “Do you think I would have let her go ,If I knew who she was,I had no idea and for her fashion designs,I knew about that but I never thought she would have made it,She was so slow and dumb” Luke groaned,He never believed Carina could achieve such and even some fortune teller had predicted this future,He would have never believed it. “ Isn't it funny that she is now with your uncle, History is about to repeat itself” Jammy

The sun streamed through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the sleek furniture. He was in a good mood, anticipating a relaxing evening with Carina. Just as he was about to call her, a knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. "Come in," Martins said, his voice calm and controlled. The door opened, and Luke walked in with an air of arrogance. Martins’ expression immediately hardened. Luke was the last person he wanted to see. "Martins," Luke greeted with a smirk, stepping into the office with an annoying swagger. "Luke," Martins replied, his tone icy. "To what do I owe this unpleasant visit?" " I came to say hello to my uncle" Luke sauntered over to a chair and sat down without being invited.

With a friendly grin, he approached and took a seat across from Martins."Hey, man," James greeted, his eyes filled with curiosity. "You look stressed. What's going on?"Martins sighed deeply. "It's Luke. He came by my office yesterday, bringing up the bonfire night from ten years ago. He's trying to mess with my head, and I don't know what to do."James frowned, leaning in closer. "What exactly did he say?"Martins hesitated, recalling the encounter. "He accused me of taking advantage of Carina when she was drunk that night. He said if she found out, it would ruin everything."James shook his head in disbelief. "That
