Shanelle POV
I woke up with a pounding headache, the remnants of last night's party still lingering in my mind. Blinking my eyes open, I groaned as I realized I was still in my party dress, sprawled across the vast expanse of my king-sized bed. To my left, Beatrice and Kayleen were still sleeping soundly, oblivious to my chaotic state. I glanced at the clock and cursed under my breath. I was late for the meeting.
With a surge of adrenaline, I leaped out of bed, stumbling over discarded shoes and empty glasses. Makeup smudges adorned my face, a testament to the debauchery of the previous night. Today, however, there was no time for touch-ups or meticulous grooming. I hastily discarded my glamorous attire, opting for casual clothes that were quick to put on. The thought of makeup seemed laughable, so I abandone
Shanelle POVAs I drove through the familiar streets toward my parent's home, a mix of excitement and nerves churned in my stomach. I was on my way to deliver some important news to my parents, and the thought of their reaction made me feel a little uneasy. I had just received an invitation to participate in a high-profile fashion show in LA, and it could potentially last for an entire week. It was a significant opportunity for my modeling career, but I knew my parents were never thrilled about my chosen path.Arriving at the grand entrance of the mansion, I couldn't help but marvel at its opulence. The well-manicured lawns, the intricate architecture, and the imposing wrought-iron gates—all spoke of a world far removed from my current reality. The butler, Mr. Kensington, greeted me with his customary k
Shanelle POVThe three of us, Beatrice, Kayleen, and I strode through the bustling airport terminal with an air of confidence. Our entourage, consisting of stylists, makeup artists, and personal assistants, followed closely behind, maneuvering through the throngs of travelers. As high-profile models, we were accustomed to the attention and the paparazzi that seemed to be perpetually lurking.I glanced at the massive LED screens displaying arrival and departure times as we made our way to the private jet terminal. A wave of excitement washed over me. LA was calling, and we were about to answer in style. There, waiting for us, stood a gleaming private jet, adorned with the logo of a prestigious airline.The jet's luxurious interior beckoned as the
Shanelle POVI smoothed down the delicate fabric of my elegant gown, a rich shade of midnight blue that hugged my curves in all the right places. The beaded embellishments sparkled under the ambient lighting, casting a soft glow around me. Beside me, Beatrice and Kayleen, stood resplendent in their own designer ensembles. Beatrice wore a vibrant red dress that accentuated her fiery personality, while Kayleen donned a sleek silver gown that mirrored her quiet grace.We arrived at the hotel lobby, the epicenter of the grand party, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement as we stepped into the throng of guests. The room buzzed with animated conversations, clinking glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter. I spotted familiar faces and exchanged warm greetings, basking in the familiarity of t
Shanelle POVI blinked my eyes open to the harsh morning light streaming through the curtains, and a heavy weight settled in my chest as I realized I hadn't slept a wink. The events of the night before played over and over in my mind, causing my heart to race and my palms to grow clammy. Vincent and his men had held us captive in this room, and the memory of their menacing presence sent shivers down my spine.Looking around, I saw Beatrice and Kayleen, huddled together on the bed, their faces etched with exhaustion and distress. The fear was palpable in the room, suffocating us with its intensity. I mustered up the courage to speak, my voice hoarse and tired."We can't stay here like this," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "We need to find a way
Shanelle's POVI woke up to the soft rays of the morning sun peeking through the curtains, casting a warm glow upon the unfamiliar room. It took a few moments for my groggy mind to recall the events of the previous night. Vincent's safe house. The place that offered refuge from the dangers that pursued us. Beatrice and Kayleen had their own rooms, but despite being alone, I couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling that lingered within me.I stretched my limbs, feeling the stiffness in my muscles dissipates. Slipping out of bed, I made my way to the bathroom, yearning for a refreshing shower to wash away the remnants of yesterday's chaos. The room was neat and tidy, lacking any personal touches. It was clear that this safehouse was a temporary solution, a place to stay until we were ready to face our next mo
Shanelle POVAs the anticipation built up inside me, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall. It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it. They looked stunning in their own dis
Shanelle POVI sat on my bed the next morning, clutching my phone tightly in my hands. The screen displayed a seemingly never-ending stream of notifications, each one more anxiety-inducing than the last. My heart raced as I watched my video from the frat party trend across social media platforms. It was as if people couldn't get enough of it, sharing it from one corner of the internet to another. And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation. People saw me as a walking embodiment of flawlessness, and I had meticulously crafted that image. But now, this video threatened to expose the cracks in my carefully constructed facade. It made me feel vulnerable and exposed to the judgment of others, and it terrified me.

We had made it back safely, and a sense of relief washed over me. My muscles ached from the physical exertion and tension, and I couldn't wait to let go of the weight that had been pressing on me.After a quick glance around the dimly lit living room, I made my way towards the bedroom. The hot water of the shower embraced me, washing away the grime and leaving me refreshed. I changed into fresh clothes, relishing the feeling of comfort they brought. With a deep breath, I stepped outside into the night air, making my way toward the pool.The sky stretched above me, a canvas of stars
~3 months later ~Shanelle POVLife has a funny way of taking unexpected turns. As I sit here, reflecting on the whirlwind of events that have unfolded in my life, it's hard to believe how much has changed in such a short span of time. Traveling, modeling, and chasing my dreams have taken on a whole new meaning. Vincent, with his enigmatic presence, crashed into my world like a silent storm, shaking up everything I thought I knew. And truth be told, I'm grateful for that unexpected collision.Before Vincent entered the picture, my life revolved around two things: traveling and my modeling career. I was passionate about both, but I had always approached them with a certain level of detachment, keeping myself at arm's length from truly embracing the experiences that lay before me. I was lost in a robotic existence, constantly pushing myself beyond my limits to maintain an illusion of perfection, covering up the cracks within me, all for the sake of fame and the spotlight.But Vincent ch

The events of the past day haunted me, casting a dark shadow over my thoughts. Beside me, Beatrice and Kayleen sensed the change in my demeanor. Their concerned glances spoke volumes, but I couldn't find the strength to share the truth with them just yet.When I returned from my date with Vincent, my heart shattered and tears stained my cheeks. Beatrice and Kayleen did their best to offer comfort, but their words seemed distant, unable to penetrate the depths of my despair. I knew I had to face the consequences of my choices alone, and the pain of that realization only compounded my sorrow.
Shanelle POVAs I slowly blinked my eyes open, the morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the room. The warmth of the sun embraced us, enveloping Vincent and me in its gentle caress. Vincent lay beside me, still sound asleep, his features relaxed and tranquil. His dark hair was tousled, his chiseled jawline softened by the innocence of slumber. I couldn't help but marvel at the sight before me. He was simply breathtaking, and at that moment, my heart swelled with an overwhelming affection for him.Memories of last night flooded my mind, the intoxicating magic we shared. The passion and tenderness that flowed between us were beyond words. Each movement, every touch, etched in my memory like an intimate dance that only we knew.

Shanelle POVAs the candlelight flickered on the table, casting dancing shadows across the room, Vincent and I began to savor our dinner. The tantalizing aromas filled the air, creating an ambiance that complemented our growing connection. As we savored each bite, the conversation naturally drifted towards my modeling career, sparked by Vincent's genuine curiosity."So tell me," Vincent began, his eyes filled with intrigue, "how long have you been modeling?"A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I reminisced about my journey."It's been three years now," I replied. "Ever since I stepped foot onto the runway for the first time, I knew I had found my passion. Modeling allows me to express
Shanelle POVI stood in front of the walk-in closet, the scent of Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent lingering in the air. Sunlight streamed through the open windows, casting a warm glow on the colorful array of clothing before me. Tonight is my date with Vincent, and I wanted to look my absolute best. However, as I scanned the rows of clothes, doubt crept into my mind.What the hell should I wear?Beatrice lay sprawled on the bed, engrossed in a fashion magazine. Her big blue eyes glanced up, catching my reflection in the mirror."Hey, Bea," I called out, hoping she could provide some much-needed guidance."Any thoughts on wh
Shanelle POVAs I sat behind the wheel of my car, driving down the bustling city streets, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Vincent. It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye. Yet, despite the brevity of our encounter, I couldn't shake him from my thoughts.Did he think of me too? Was he caught in a whirlwind of memories and emotions just as I was? These questions tumbled through my mind, blending with the cacophony of car horns and the distant hum of city life. The uncertainty gnawed at me, twisting my heart in knots. I longed for answers, for a connection that I hoped went beyond a mere chance encounter.My destination, the prestig
