"What? Lost her memories?" I asked, looking at Lisa, who simply nodded in response. And then I smirked "Lost her memories? Is this some kind of soap opera? Where's the camera? Tell me!" I said in anger as I took a few steps towards Lisa. "If Selena lost her memories like you said, then why did I see her talking and dancing with Jasper like an old friend, and then suddenly she can't remember me at all... like seriously? Selena met me first before she met Jasper, and now she remembered Jasper and chose not to remember me. Does that even make sense to you right now?" I yelled frustrated. "All I want to know right now is where Selena is, we have a lot to talk about," I said to Lisa. "I don't know where she is, all I know is she isn't at home," Lisa stated, her tone reflecting her stubbornness. Lisa's reluctance to cooperate only fueled my determination to find Selena. I scanned the room, my eyes searching for any clue that could lead me to her. That's when I noticed a crumpled piece
Selena POV With the last strength in me, I pushed Colin away as soon as I opened the door and hurriedly bolted the dressing room door. Gasping for breath, I staggered over to the couch and lay on it, holding my aching belly. "It hurts," I managed to whisper through clenched teeth, the memory of losing the baby and the pains I felt after still fresh in my mind. I could hear Colin's voice from the other side of the door. "Open this door, Selena! You can't hide from me forever," Ignoring his threats, I focused on my breathing, controlling the pain . Each breath felt like a small victory. I felt exhausted, I whispered to myself, "I will survive this. I must.” I lay there, trying to steady my breathing and ease the pain, but then my eyelids grew heavy, and my vision began to blur. ****** I gradually opened my eyes to see everywhere dark. "Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed as I searched for my phone in darkness. I found it, switching it on and I realized that my battery was down to a mere 3
Holding my head as the memory faded, I whispered to myself, "Was that a deja vu?". "Hold on tight!" Colin exclaimed, and pressed down on the accelerator but the car moved forward on its own. The rain fell, the wind pushing the car from all sides, Colin had no choice but to stop the car. "I hope it will pass soon," I said, peering out the window. Colin reached for the radio dial and tuned in to the weather broadcast channel. We heard a female voice, "The weather forecast for today predicted a stormy and rainy night, starting at midnight. The storm is expected to continue through the night until the next morning," she announced. "Everyone, make sure to stay safe and cozy with your blankets and heaters." Colin exchanged a glance with me. We were faced with a choice: wait out the storm in the car or brave the storm to seek shelter in the nearby building. "We'll have to make a run for it!" Colin declared, his eyes meeting mine. "It's dark, and everyone has locked up. No one will ope
"What was that for, Selena?" Colin's voice came out sharp as he stood up, his eyes glaring at me. "That was self defense that's why I said don't come close or you'll get hurt," I retorted, my own glare unshaking. "I don't remember being with you or having anything to do with you. I'm only here with you now because I'm stranded, nothing more. If you think you can use this situation as a tool to get me laid, you must be joking." I spat out. Colin stood there angrily as if trying to process my words. I rose from the bed and grabbed the lamp on the bedside cabinet, as I pulled it closer to myself on the bed as a weapon for self defense if Colin tries anything stupid again. Despite the unease gnawing at me inside because I know I might be no match for him, I forced myself to appear composed. I lay on the bed, half awake throughout the night, the recent event still scares me as I couldn't dare take a full nap. With the first light of morning filtering through the curtains, I noticed Coli
"She left?" I repeated, totally disappointed. "Yes," the receptionist confirmed. I gnawed at myself as I processed the situation. "What an ungrateful brat she has become so daring unlike before," Returning the hotel key, I made my way to my car and drove back home. The throbbing headache persisted. I took medication to numb the pain, eventually succumbing to sleep to escape the pain. I woke up, and my stomach rumbled, I held on and sat up on the bed when I heard the sounds of plates emanating from the kitchen. "Is that Selena?" I asked myself, before I recall what happened in the morning, "Perhaps I'm still dreaming," I mused as I stood up from the bed. I made my way to the kitchen, opening the kitchen door to see David sipping juice straight from the fridge. " What do you think you are doing?” I asked, starling David as he quickly turned with the juice can on his mouth. “ What's up, bro? I saw you sleeping when I came, so I didn't border you" “ Oh!” “ Your fridge is empty
“What was that for?" Jasper demanded. "It is what it is," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. Jasper took hold of his fork and moved forward to get my chicken out of Selena's plate. I stopped his attempt, using my fork to block his. He moved his fork back trying to use it on another angle but I stopped him again. We started struggling not letting each other win. Unwilling to lose Jasper pushed my hand away with his left hand, and my hand hit the glass of wine near me, I tried stopping the glass from falling but it was too late as it poured on a man passing by all dressed in white suit. "What the hell!" The man yelled, drawing the attention of diners and staff, all eyes turned in our direction. "Won't you apologize?" I asked Jasper. "You wish!" Jasper retorted. “ Won't any of you say something?” The man yelled, “ how can you pour wine on me, to think am even wearing white, what the fuck…is this” he yelled again. Selena quickly rose up from her seat, and took a handkerchief from
Jasper POV I couldn't handle how I was feeling after Selena hugged and kissed Colin. "You must be so happy she did that, huh?" I said bitterly. "Why won't I be happy? She has to hug me, I'm her fiancé," he retorted. My jaw clenched and I shot back, "She was," "I'm still her fiancé," Colin replied. “ And also You can't do anything about that, and besides, you can never come between us, so get the fuck off," Colin added. Enraged by his dismissive attitude, I closed the distance between us, grabbing hold of his shirt, "You wanna try?" I asked. "I would love to," Colin shot back. "Do you think this is still college when you took her away from me?" I seethed, filled up by my deep-rooted pain that had grown bitter over time for years now. "Yes, and I'll do that again and again, without her ever knowing what truly happened," he smirked. I can't take it anymore, Colin has bitten more than he can chew and am tired of it, I gripped his shirt tighter, moving my other hand backwards an

Noah Inman, is the owner and founder of IMG Models, and also my best friend. “I told the newly accepted models from the audition to come, so you can pick your choice, Jasper the ball's in your court fully," Noah informed me. "I mentioned I was dealing with a dilemma, Mr. Inman," i began, but Noah cut me off.

" I'm sorry Aviva i would need to stay another two weeks" " What do you mean you....But Levi, the wedding,” she stammered, “We can’t put it off any longer.”"I know, But the company needs me. I have to stay. I’m so sorry.”“But Levi,” she protested, “I don’t understand!

Levi POVFIVE MONTHS LATER. It's been five months now, Aviva is doing better and so am I. For the past months I've been searching for the right time to make it official but it hasn't been easy and I really want this to be a special day that can't be forgotten but how? I keep asking myself.The past five months had been filled with whirlwind of emotions, as Aviva and I worked together to heal the wounds left by Elara’s treachery. But through it all, our love had grown stronger. And it’s the best time to make it forever. I found myself staring out the window, I smiled, a sudden idea forming in my mind. Perhaps that was it….the perfect setting for what I had in mind. But how? i keep asking myself, i want to make it alright but it's..... I sighed. The idea of doing that was both exhilarating and terrifying.She’s the love of my life, the one person who had seen me at my weakest and still loved me unconditionally. But how to make it special?

Levi POV I stared at Aviva, happy she came to terms with what happened and at the same time careful and hoping i'm making the right decision, i love her so much and the thought of her betraying me was so..... I looked into her eyes, I saw the love and devotion there, but also the regret and remorse for her past mistakes.She had betrayed me, there was no doubt about that. But I couldn’t help but feel that there was still something worth fighting for between us.I took her hand in mine, feeling the warmth and comfort of her touch. It felt so right, so familiar, as if our connection transcended the pain and mistrust of the past.We stood there, in silence, my mind raced with thoughts of the future. What would happen to us, now that we had decided to give things another try? Could we truly move past the pain and hurt of the past, or would the scars of Elara’s betrayal linger on. And yet, as I looked into Aviva’s eyes, I knew that this was a risk worth taking. I had loved her before, a
Aviva POV I stared at the camera in tears, Mom couldn't stand anymore and she almost fell down and was held. " What will you do to Elara Rutherford, I mean Paige?" the reporter asked, and immediately i cleared my tears, " All we want is justice, i want her to rot in hell where she belongs, finding out she ruined my dad's business to ruin our family and had to deceive me into walking for her is absurd and inhuman," I replied, shaking from tears. The cameras flashed and the reporter pushed for more. My heart ached, Mom’s sobs ringing in my ears as I struggled to find the words to convey the depth of my despair.“Elara Rutherford is a monster,” I exclaimed, recalling everything I've gone through since Dad’s passing. “She took everything from me. My father, my home, my future. And for what? For her own twisted satisfaction?” I closed my eyes, the image of Dad’s smiling face when I was younger “I wish I could see him one more time,” I whispered, the pain in my chest almost unbearable. “I
Levi POVThe guard’s eyes widened in surprise, a look of shock and anger on their faces. “You little bastard!” he snarled, lunging forward again.But this time, I was ready. I sidestepped his advance, my fist punching his jaw in a swift, powerful strike with all my strength.The guard stumbled back, his eyes rolling back in his head as he collapsed to the ground. I didn’t waste a moment. I dove towards the gun, grabbing it just as the first guard charged at me.I aimed the gun at the first guard, my finger trembling on the trigger. “Don’t move,” I shouted with a newfound confidence. “Don’t make me shoot.”The guard hesitated, his expression shifting from anger to fear. “What do you want?” he asked, his voice shaky with terror.I smirked, my eyes narrowing.“Sorry to disappoint you, But you’re going to wish I was dead by the time I’m through with you.”The guard took a step backwards, his eyes darting around the room. with my last strength I fought against him.

You destroyed everything I loved.”Elara laughed out loud, “And now I’m going to destroy your son,” she said. “And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”My heart pounds while my blood boiled as I listened to Elara’s taunts. I wanted nothing more than to burst out of my hiding spot and confront her, to make her pay for what she had done to my family. But I knew I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until we had the proof we needed to bring her down for good.I watched as mom screamed in pain,“You’re wrong,” she yelled. “You may have taken everything else from me,” Mom continued, “But you will never take my son. Never!.”Elara’s smile faded, “You think you can stop me? You’re pathetic. Weak.

I could barely understand what they were saying, my mind still reeling from the shock of the crash.“James!” I called out, searching for him amidst the chaos. “James, where are you?”A moment later, one of the paramedics led him over to me, his face covered in blood and bruises.“Boss,” he said, his voice weak but alive. “We made it. We actually made it.”The paramedics loaded us into the ambulance, as they checked our vitals and monitored our injuries. I was in shock, my body shaking uncontrollably.“You’re going to be okay, Mr,” one of the paramedics assured me. “Just hold tight, we’re almost there.”I nodded, too exhausted to do anything else. And as the ambulance sped away, I found myself thinking of Aviva.realizing she did well by deciding to stay in Global reach, it's obvious who did this to me.
