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
Pulling up to IMG Models, I spotted Noah waiting for me at the entrance. I stepped out of my car, his presence reminded me of my responsibility. 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. "And I told you Business is more important right now, we can talk about your dilemma later but right now , we need to get this app on air, to the public, this is a big project that will get us a billion or more, don't get on my nerves Jasper move it" Noah stated. I forced a smile and nodded, taking the lead. Entering IMG Models I walked alongside Noah, my hands tucked into my pockets. I could see the lineup of models awaiting us. Noah guided me towards the center of the hall, positioning me for a closer view of the models as they sto
I quickly posed "That's the style," Jasper remarked as he approached me. I met his eyes and nodded, taking a step back to adjust to the new direction. He looked at me for some time before he walked over to where the photographers were reviewing images on the computer. "Start!" the photographer called out, signaling the continuation of the shoot. I pushed my earlier feeling, focusing solely on my poses and expressions as I immersed myself in the shoot. Despite meeting Jasper's eyes while posing, I pretend not to notice his attention. While posing bringing out the bad bitch styles in me, the photographer chimed in, "Yes, I like that look. Give me a 'bad bitch' look." I adjust to the bad bitch setting, My training kicked in, allowing me to deliver the powerful look the photographer desired, showcasing my versatility as a model. Colin POV After finishing my meal at the restaurant, I stepped out. Just then, my phone rang, I glanced at the caller ID to see David's name flashing on the
Selena POV "Do you like Colin?" Jasper's sudden question caught me off guard. Shocked by the question, I turned to look at Jasper, my eyes searching his face to know the reason why he asked, but then he wasn't looking at me, he focused on the road. Realizing I couldn’t tell what he was thinking by just looking at him, I relaxed back on the chair."I don't know," I answered. "I really don't know. I'm not sure how I feel about Colin," I confessed. “Really? Are you sure about that?" Jasper asked as he turned to me for confirmation. "Yes," I replied. “ Then why did you hug him earlier instead of me, and to think you gave him a kiss isn't that too much?” He asked. “ I was so excited, Colin is the only one aware except Lisa about my audition” I replied. “ Why didn't you tell me?” “ You were busy, I can't bring myself to disturb you! Everyone knows how busy you are!” I replied. “ It doesn't matter if I am busy or not, just don't let Colin know something I'm not aware of.” He replied
“ Yes, I’m privileged” I replied in-between tears. “ Do you know how girls sweep my feet, if you know that you should only please me and keep your mouth shut!” He yelled, before I could say another word his hand lashed out a slap on my face. I jolted awake immediately, gripping for air, I slowly caught my breath back and breathed down heavily, I sat up on the bed looking around if Colin was around me, relieved as I realized I was safe in my own room. "What the hell was that?" I muttered to myself, I tried to make sense of the vivid images that had haunted my sleep. I considered the possibility that the nightmare might be a reflection of my past or perhaps just a troubling dream. I pondered the possibility of it being my past, and I felt a nagging doubt. I realized that my knowledge of Colin was limited to what my mom and Lisa had shared with me, leaving me with gaps in my understanding of how our relationship was. and maybe, just maybe sometimes I didn't tell them some things jus
" No, I mean Mr. Santos had an urgent business matter and had to leave for London last night," Mr. Inman said. “ Oh,Thank Goodness” I sighed, even though I'm still surprised by the unexpected news of Jasper's sudden departure to London. "Yes," Mr. Inman confirmed. After dropping the surprising news about Jasper, Mr. Inman turned around to address the bustling hall. "Listen up everyone! Since we have new models accepted into the company, all staff and models alongside me will be having a welcome lunch at the restaurant just a walk away from here. I have made reservations." The hall erupted with excitement, staff and models applauding. "So, you all get ready!" Mr. Inman said. Following the announcement, I made my way to the dressing room to change into a more casual clothes for the lunch gathering. We arrived at the bustling restaurant, the atmosphere so lively , and the food and drinks were ready. "Eat up," Mr. Inman said aloud. After eating for a few minutes my phone suddenly ra
The lunch continued, and soon we were all satisfied, plates empty and our spirits lifted. "It was a pleasure spending this time with all of you," Mr. Inman began, smiling . "I'm feeling so happy today, so I'm giving you all the rest of the day off. Go home and enjoy yourselves." "Wow!" Everyone exclaimed happily, we all rose from our seats, expressing how happy we are about the free time. I joined in the merriment smiling.However, just as I let myself relax, my phone began to ring. Glancing at the caller ID, I saw Jasper's name flashing on the screen. I answered the call, bringing the phone to my ear. "Hi," I greeted, unsure of what to expect and unsure of how to react. "Selena, I'm so sorry for not informing you about my sudden trip to London. It was a last-minute decision, but now I'm heading back to Boston Hills!" Jasper's voice crackled. "What?, that was quick! How did you manage to move so fast?" I asked, surprised by the sudden leave and arrival. "I have my private jet to
“ What?” Jasper's eyes shifted to me, then to the driver, "What do you mean?" he asked. "Since we departed from the private airstrip, that car has been tailing us closely," the driver explained, his eyes focused on the rearview mirror, confirming his suspicions. Jasper and I turned to peer out of the car's windows, and we saw the vehicle trailing us. I suddenly got a notification flashed on my phone, diverting my attention. I lowered my eyes to read the message, but my heart skipped a beat at the chilling words that appeared on the screen from Colin: "You can't hide from me," I was taken aback when I saw Colin's message. The sight of his name had shaken me to my very bones. How on earth did he manage to track me down again? I pondered, bewildered. I glanced up to find Jasper still fixated on the car, his brow frowned in deep thought. "There isn't any plate number on the car!" Jasper said. "Jasper, look," I interjected, lifting my phone up, showing him the message from Colin. I
