“Cut!” that I came to my senses.
I wiped the little sweat that was threatening to ruin my makeup. I could have sworn, everything froze that moment.
“Miss Nikki, do you need something?” The director asked. I had expected to be shouted and yelled on, just like the first day at Pink Moda. But it was when I realized things were different now, I cheekily smiled. A celebrity model was an important guest that was the reason why.
“Yes, some water please.” I let out, pretending to be burning inside. Someone immediately rushed to give me what I requested for. I sipped from it, with my eyes searching for Liam, through the sea of eyes, that were currently staring at the shoot.
Liam seemed to be busy with the females around him. I watched with fury, as he whi

“Listen to your heart, child. At times it’s your inner voice you should embrace not your instincts on what is wrong or right.”My head couldn’t get rid of the diviner’s words no matter how hard I tried. It came spiraling in my head even without me trying. Ever since that magical moment with her, I had a problem trying to forget her words.I had to deal with remembering her words and Liam’s little gift the day before. I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of the anklet he gifted me. Instead, with a pouty face, I looked at the cute little thing from time to time.“Here is my gift to you, red. Traditionally, it is said to keep one safe. I don’t want you getting in trouble with cops again.”I laughed wondering what the hell that meant. Was this some kind of spiritual asset to keep me safe? If it was, that was thoughtful of him. His gesture was sweet, leaving me with so much curiosity and wonder.My thoughts contained this, even when I washed myself

Liam’s PovI looked on phone to see the tenth missed call from Jackson. Slamming it on the table with anger, I continued with work immediately. It was insane how we fought so much as adults these days. Things had been more different when we were children.It had just been a lot different.There was a time Jackson had broken father’s treasured ceramic. I remembered him instantly crying on the spot, in fear of what father was going to do him. I comforted him, telling him not to cry.When I heard father’s footsteps approaching, I instructed him to run and hide, while I stood directly in front of the scene, pretending to be the one that got it broken. Father had taught me a lesson, locking me up with no food at all.We had been so bonded that I’d rather have borne all that, than for him to go through it. Jackson was the silent kid as a child. He was feeble minded and
Fall in Love with a Billionaire 42. Commendations From The Bosses
A loud applause erupted the conference room of Pink Moda. Smiles were written on their faces. From the musical videos from each of the models, it was evident that it gave an overwhelming feeling to the employees of Pink Moda.“Congratulations, Miss Nikki!”“Congratulations, Boss Liam!” Everyone called out, repeating the same words to us both. Somehow, they liked the musical in Mexico. One by one, they had watched each model’s performance. And, in a way, they decided mine was the best. I also admired it too.Yet, that left me surprised because I didn’t even attend the rehearsals at all. But in a little part of my head, I knew that after the incidence at the hospital with Liam, I swore to give my career all amounts of seriousness. It wasn’t a plaything and meant so much to my fans out there.The board of bosses stepped forward to congratulate Leah, Jojo, myself and the last model that went with the youngest boss. I could see Jojo practically fuming t

“Sugar plum.” he called out. My heart softened a bit at his voice. I admired the way that nick name rolled off his tongue. I also admired his angelic face, his presence, the fact that he helped me numerous times. I wished to thank him for everything presently.For making me feel like I was more when people thought I had nothing. It meant so much to me. And, I really wanted to.But I needed to listen to what he had to say.“I’m sorry, sugar plum.” he started out, with a lost look on his features. His face held a sober look, making me wonder what was wrong. My brows cringed immediately, that instant at what was happening.Why was he apologizing for nothing? I certainly don’t remember him annoying or pissing me off, so why was he apologizing?“I don’t understand. Why would you be? I’m the one who should be sorry. I missed the date that day not you.” I constructed out, telling him.I hadn’t even told him the reason why I missed the date. An

“I’m sorry.” he added, with an apologetic expression written all over his features. His brown orb eyes didn’t even flinch for a minute. And, that alone made me want to yell at myself for being stupid.The instant he mentioned those words, his hands untangled from my shoulders. A gust of wind from the window, rushed past me from the window. It slapped my face, bringing me to reality.I couldn’t bring myself to comprehend whatever Jackson had just uttered. It was something unexpected.So unruly and hurtful. I would never had expected something like this from anyone, especially the fact that it was Jackson. It made me want to cry. Gawd, it did make me want to cry.But the thing was, I didn’t know why I wanted to. My feelings made me really confused these days. And, nothing also made sense too, why?“Y-You bastard,” I directed at him, almost at the verge of tears. But I wasn’t going to break down at the front of him. Mum always taugh

Jackson’s PovImmediately Eleanor walked out, I felt a part of my heart pang in guilt.It wasn’t for loving her. Whatever I had was never love. When I met her at the elevator, I wanted to be friends with her because she was such a beauty.The kiss confession at her house, had been just a test. I needed to know if she was really in a relationship with my elder brother, because she seemed to hate the rich so much.The rooftop incidence was because she told me she wasn’t in real relationship with Liam. I wanted to actually give it a go to have something with her back then. It wasn’t until lately I realized it wasn’t something I wanted.It was sort of an attraction any male could have for a female.It wasn’t something more.Definitely not something serious.We had been friends. And, by her walking away without hearing me out, it was evident that whatever friendship

The day after that day, I received a phone call around 6am. Wondering who the caller was, I sleepily reached for the phone. A migraine from last night’s drinking hit my head, making me groan out.“Eleanor,” A raspy and somewhat silent voice called out. My brows wriggled in confusion, the minute I recognized the voice.“Margaret,” I uttered. My mind drifted to a lot of things as I wondered what exactly was the problem was. She didn’t reply abruptly. And that led to a rapid beat of my heart.It made me wonder if something was off. It took some seconds for her to actually speak up.“You need to show up at the office right now.” she said. I was about to say something when she hung up the phone.That was the one sentence got me worrying a lot...And, it meant a lot to me.Because she was my manager and when something was off, this was just how she reacted.And this was so

Which only meant one thing— this was it. “Red…” I trailed on my words, stretching my hands towards her. We were both inside the ambulance van, by each other’s side. Seemed like I took the most injuries, yet somehow, I had been able to wake up and fight. “Liam.” she breathed out, replying. “I-It’s all over…still unbelievable. I thought…I- thought we were all going to…” “Shhh.” I urged, placing a hand on her lip and silencing her. I couldn’t imagine ever losing her, so I couldn’t even bear to think of it. My injury was external, thankfully, she had a few scratches. But she still needed to be checked on, and thoroughly examined. In the other ambulance van was Chloe. Jackson had gone to her,

I screamed and screamed my guts out, but it was all futile. They kept dragging us both, till we reached beside the truck.“Now.”One of them ordered. Some black van pulled over. That instant, black sacks were put over my head. I struggled as I was being put in.“You don’t have to do this, you know.”I muttered. “Shut up, bitch.”Some rough voice sneered, irritatingly.I bit my lips, not knowing what step to take again. My entire body froze, as I stopped struggling out of fear. Hands shaking rapidly, as the van drove speedily.Liam was just beside me and he was still passed out.I wondered how hard the accident hit him.

That was more of today’s theme, in Pink Moda.“Eleanor…”She trailed out weakly, in a husky tone. I wriggled my brows. “Are you okay, Clo?

Chloe’s PovI took an early leave to go home today, from work.I was so tired. Tired of everything.My shitty love life, and the fact that Jackson, who I presently liked, thought of us as friends and nothing else.These were my thoughts as I entered my car, zooming off at high speed. My thoughts drifted to Orange Summers—the only place that I took comfort in.“Chloe, I see you’re here again?” The bar tender called out, as I dragged a stool, sitting on it. Seemed he was used to my presence so much already.“Yeah Ray… I want four bottles of beer, please.”I ordered, bringing my phone out from my purse and settling it on the bar’s table. I texted Eleanor, but it seemed like she was busy with work too.Of recent, she was the only one I turned to in times of need. Friends at my workplace, only remaine

I became very glad that I had sorted things out with mum. Thing became insanely perfect afterwards.While I handled with Mr. Reyes, making him believe I would move back with him to Mexico, I moved back to the company’s house.Mr. Reyes had told me that the minute he was done with some personal matters in America, we would be returning to Mexico together.He had sent loads of money into my bank account, telling me this was the start point.“That bastard.”Did he think money could buy a true family’s love? He had to be joking.One morning, just as I was on my way to work, in my disguise outfit, a car pulled over beside me.I totally ignored it, but when it kept on following me, I became insanely creeped out.“HEY!

I would be able to keep tabs on his business back in Mexico, and his intentions with red. I needed to know why he’d suddenly show up after all the years, to ruin her life.

“It isn’t funny that your dad, a rich billionaire suddenly wants you back?” Chloe’s words reminisced my head. “Nope…I mean my mum lied to me, Chloe. And I, um…don’t even know if I should be trusting her again.” “Why not, she’s your mum. You should know the type of person she is by now, Eleanor.” “Don’t let some stranger, who was never present ruin that nice relationship between you both. She might not have given you the comfortable life but you turned out right,” She had stated. “I mean, look at you girl. You’re a survivor.

My thoughts were scrambled with yesterday’s incidence the minute I woke up. I remembered drinking to forget it all, but now… I wanted to sleep once more not to even think of it. Mum’s betrayal. Liam’s words about Mr. Reyes. Did she do it to protect me, like she said? Suddenly, flashbacks of last night spinned in my head. “I had a shitty day, Liam. Please make love to me,” Oh no… “We aren’t even in a relationship anymore, remember?” He had tried convincing me out of it, but I still shamelessly pushed on. “I was overshadowed by my own countenance and wishful thinking, for that I’m sorry,” “Now fuck me,” My eyes widened at my words, with my toes entangling each other. It was no wonder I felt sore in between my legs. We did make love last night, for the second time. And we did it countlessly, till we were exhausted. I hope he didn’t wake up.

“A shot of vodka, please.”I said, wondering why one bad thing or the other had to always happen to me.While I walked out of the house, Mr. Reyes tried to talk to me, but I didn’t even feel like speaking to anyone.Not at all.I felt like shit and didn’t even know what to do.My mouth tasted in displeasure when he gave me his business card. I put it in my purse, walking to Orange Summers, the only place that seemed to understand me.“And one too, for me.”A familiar low baritone voice, lurked in surprisingly behind me. I looked behind me, only to see Liam clothed in his usual black expensive suit, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.He settled on a chair just beside me.I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.“Liam, what are you doing here?”I asked, with a sigh, almost cringing in distress.
