Seeing the look on her face, I looked away, averting my eyes from hers. Thinking she would take a step, and just walk away but surprisingly she didn't, I looked up to see Bella looking down at me. “ Why do I feel so small with her looking down at me” I whispered to myself and then stood up from the seat, arrange my clothes and made to take a step forward but Bella blocked my way."Fancy seeing you here, Selena!” Bella said, but I said nothing. I moved to walk the other way but Bella blocked me again.“I wonder what you could possibly have to talk to Dr. Andrew about. He must be very busy already with all his important patients in his list." “I'm sure whatever it is, it's none of your business.” I respond, dismissing Bella‘s remark.“ Well….!”Lisa and I met Bella in College in our first year, we became friends and we decided to become three best friends Forever but then it never worked out, Bella and I fell out after three years of friendship. Although she's still friends with Lisa,
As soon as Jasper asked what Mr Zack does, I couldn't move or say a word. Telling Jasper, Mr Zack is actually Colin might bring up issues. “ Are you still there?” Jasper interrupted my thoughts. “ Yes…Ehmm he's a game developer, yes a game developer” I answered, hoping he wouldn't get caught on with that, I know his aware of Colin being an App developer. “ Oh, have you finalized everything with him?” Jasper pressed. “ No, not yet!” I whispered trying to think of a way out, I really don't want to hide it from Jasper but then again I can't tell him the truth. “ We haven't finalized it,” I added. “ Alright, and I really don't want to be away from you Selena but now I got no choice” Jasper said all of a sudden, but then went silent. And I said nothing. “ I almost forgot, with Vera’s help I was able to find out that one of the photographers is actually Colin's friend, I mean the guy with met with him at the restaurant named David. and funny enough I didn't notice it, at first I won
Colin walked off and I sat there losts in thoughts for some minutes before gradually eating my meal. I was about finishing my meal when one of the staff walked to me.. “ Miss Kings, the car is ready, Miss Rachael and Mr Martins are waiting for us at Luxe Scents. “ Okay” I replied, stood up and we both walked to the car, soon the car Zoomed off. We arrived at Luxe Scents and I was greeted by the CEO Mr Martins. Who showed me the fragrance I would be modeling. And soon we went on with the contract signing.i “ You would be Luxe Scents model for the next Six months, you can choose to make it a year if you want” Mr Martins explained. “ I’ll go for the six months plan first, but will I be in Paris for the next six months?” I asked, and immediately stole glances at Rachael who shaked her head and Mr Martins continued. “ No, miss Kings, you’ll go back to Boston Hills, But you will need to come to Paris anytime we need you as a model, that's the essence of the contract!” “ Oh, okay”
Immediately I pushed Colin away from me and landed him a slap. “ I told you we aren't a thing, I'm here right now because you are one of the company's clients, you called Rachael to arrange this meeting as a CLIENT” I emphasized, “don't cross your boundaries Colin and get that into that head of yours!" I spat. Colin placed his hand on his cheeks and I could see the shock in his eyes. " But you forgave me when I apologized," Colin explained, trying to move forwards to touch me. " Don't get your sticky hands on me" I spat. " You apologized for dragging me on the day I got discharged from the hospital, that's it. I’m here right now because you are a Client. I'm literally emphasizing on the word Client right now, don't forget that!” “I'll leave now” I added, and walked out of the restaurant, I got outside, stood at the road side and kept waving at passing Taxis but none were stopping, i waited for 15 minutes but there were none passing by.I took out my phone and checked the GPS of my
On hearing what the leader said, I stood behind Colin frozen in fright, I stood there watching with bated breath, my heart pounding as the leader moved steps closer to Colin.“You’re not as tough as you think, youngman” the leader smirked and blew a breeze on his knife, sending shivers through my spine.“I don’t need to be tough,” Colin replied, standing tall, and strong. “I just need to be tough enough to save her from you.” Colin added and immediately, Colin lunged forward, catching the leader by surprise grabbing his hand as he grappled for control over the knife.Through the struggle, Colin punched the leader to make him free his hold on the knife but he didn't, surprisingly the other men moved backwards on sighting blood oozing out of their leader's nose. “Don’t just stand there,” the leader shouted at his men as he struggled with Colin. “Get her!” he yelled angrily. On hearing that, I looked up at the rest of the men and they started walking closer to me. One of the men rushe
“What?" I asked, surprised by what Lisa just told me, I recall Zack said he is single then how..?, I mean How…? Did he end up getting a girlfriend so soon, how? He just arrived at Boston hills."Are you sure it was Zack? Maybe you just saw someone who looked like him, it does happen.” "No Selena, I'm sure it was him," Lisa responds. "I mean, I didn't want to jump to conclusions when I saw them, but they were holding hands and laughing together. It looked like they were on a date or something."My jaw dropped. "This can't be happening. I mean, I know Zack is still single, how?.""I don't know what to think anymore Selena, he said so himself that day,how can he lead me on, I can't believe he would become a two timer!” Lisa added, I could hear her sniff her tears in.“I’m sorry, Selena. I know you were hoping and was about trying to help me get together with Zack, but it's really complicated now. It seems like Zack isn't interested, sorry I made you go through that,” Lisa replied and I
“ I..I mean…Are the staff awake yet?” I asked, chuckling awkwardly.Rachael sighed “ Miss Kings I don't know what you are talking about, but one thing I know is, get a grip of yourself, you seem lost minded right now”.She continued,“ Today is the last Shoot, And A male model will be introduced!”“ A male what?”“ A male model, so you need to finish your shoots early before he arrives".Rachael said, turned and was about walking out but then stopped.“ I almost forgot,” she turned over. “ how did it go with Mr Zack last night?” Rachael asked.“ Mr Zack! Ehmm..., It went well,” i replied, “Mr Zack and I, discussed the characters for the game and some other details needed.” I lied.Rachael nodded, not suspecting a thing. “Well, that’s great."Rachael glances at her watch again, her expression so serious now. “You have a meeting with Mr Martins Company fashion designer this morning to try out the new clothes for today's shoot,” she said. “You should get ready now.”I nodded and stood up
“ What?” I asked still in disbelief, I recall telling Mr martins to find someone else a Paris model why this?. “ Mr Martins, like I said ….”“ Miss Kings” Rachael interrupted my speech and took my hand, pulling me aside. “ Miss Kings, I mean I should talk casually right now, Selena this is the only way this can work, Mr martins couldn't find a Male model despite talking on several calls for almost an hour, and also you can't tell the company what to do, you just needs to accept it, this is how it works.” Rachael explained.I looked up at Rachael,and I understood what she meant, but being in a close space with Colin like last night!, I shouldn’t allow that. “I don't have to do this,” I replied.“Look, Miss Kings, the company has the final say,” she said. “And frankly, you need to make this work. If you don't play nice, they could replace you. Do you really want to risk that? The Flight to Paris, your accommodation here, and meals here was all paid, canceling it all, you’ll need to ref

I walked into the bedroom to see Aviva seated wearing a red lingeries. " huh!" I pulled my suit off, and was about jumping on her when she stretched a kit to my face. I stared at the pregnancy test in shock,while Aviva smiled.“Well, It's like you’re going to be a Dad soon.”I laughed, placing my hand on my lips “You are one sneaky woman, Aviva,” I pulled her close for a hug. “I can’t be more happie

" 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! How could you do this to me?”“I never wanted this to happen.”“Well, it did happen!” she snapped, “And now our wedding is ruined. “You don’t understand, I have to do this!”“And what about me?” she cried out, “Do I not matter anymore? Do our plans not matter anymore?” she yelled back. " I'm a laughing stock now, being told my soon to be husband ran off" she yelled again on the phone. I felt my heart sink as Aviva’s words. She’s right. I h
Aviva POVI Stared at the ring as Levi slid it into my fingers. This moment is everything I had ever dreamed of, everything I had ever wanted. I couldn’t believe all we had been through, after all the pain and heartache, Levi was still here. He had forgiven me, and he loved me a situation that has been both humbling and exhilarating.I couldn’t stop staring at the ring. As I looked up from the ring, Levi’s face was filled with happiness and relief. “I love you, Aviva,” he whispered.I smiled, my heart fluttering. “I love you too, Levi,” I said, pulling him closer for a kiss. “I promise to love and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.” I pulled him up and we embraced, the waves crashed against the shore, the sound of the ocean mingling with the beating of my hearts."Congratulations!" i got startled by the loud shout from behind me, i looked back to see Mom, Levi's mom, dad and his friends with lots of other people. Levi laughed softly, wrapping his arms around me.“I figur
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? I paced the floor, my thoughts racing with idea
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. The guard stumbled backwar
Levi POVMom’s face changed and her voice shaked in fury. “You monster,” she spat, her hands trembling at her sides. “You destroyed my life. 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. You’re no match for me.” “You underestimate me, Paige, And you underestimate my son.”“ Don't even go there!”" Killing Colin doesn't mean you are all that, you killed

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. Elara and I'm certain the authorities informed her about
