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

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.

    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

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.
