Lucky Yet So Unlucky In Love Chapter 17 (Part 2)
“Are you sure you want me to call off the strings I pulled for you? You don't want to prevent Bryce from releasing your original sketches?”Conrad is enjoying and savoring his bourbon steak so much. All the munching and chewing is making him sound a little muffled. His mouth is almost filled.He is enjoying his food. While me? No.I am uncertain if this is going to be good or bad regarding my diet.“Yup. I just think that there's nothing else we can do. Just let him release it. It's all his, I don't want it back.”I eat my steak in thin slices, and the way that I'm eating is somehow able to trigger Conrad. For him, I'm torturing myself. I mentioned that I was hungry earlier, but I didn't expect that he ordered steak for the both of us.“Aurella, just eat. When was the last time we went out like this?”Oh, there goes the gaslighting.“I totally don't remember at all.” I reply as I take a sip of my pineapple juice.He's having Coca-Cola while I stick to my pineapple juice.“It's been ye

“Tilt your head a little bit, and give me a fierce look but not that type that makes you look like you're trying so hard.”In all of the photographers that I have encountered, this one right here has my favor.I like him. I don't know why.“Perfect.” He smiles, “Now, strike a pose of how you interpret boredom with your body.”It has been two days since I signed the agreement that Calvin Klein prepared for me. They sent me a lot of things that I get to keep, and they also gave me a huge amount of money in my bank account.And now, here I am. Doing the photoshoot; wearing their underwear products for women.As usual, some of the photos will be black and white.Classic Calvin Klein.But I couldn't argue though, I like the black and white aesthetic sometimes.“It's time for the sexy and edgy vibe that you were talking about earlier.” He jokingly said, but he's only hyping me up.That's what my gut is telling me.Besides the photographer taking pictures of me right now, there are also othe

“3, 2, 1. Action!”I slowly sit up from laying on the bed beside Norman. I look back to pretend that I'm checking if he's still sleeping. When satisfied, I stood up and went to the closet.Cameras follow me, both the videographer and the photographer.Just like what Jack had instructed, I put on the white long sleeved polo effortlessly. The camera then focuses on my feet going perfectly fitting the high heels I am told to wear.I quickly grab the keys to the lamborghini before running out of the hotel room. I take the stairs, and I run all the way down. As I expected, I managed not to trip or fall while running wearing heels.I mean, of course. I'm a model. Hello?While filming the whole little drama thing, there's a song playing in the background for me to feel the whole vibe of the set. To feel and execute what Jack wants me to do.The song is the one and only ‘You Don't Own Me’.I've seen many edits with this song, and this is exactly what I want for my fans to use.After all, it's

“Now, what? I thought you were going to enjoy Las Vegas ‘that much’?”I roll my eyes at Vincent when I spotted him sitting on the floor next to the door of my penthouse.“I've had enough. They weren't up for enjoying the vacation. They were enjoying women.” He stands up as I open the door, and he follows me inside without permission.“Enjoying women? What's wrong with that? You could've been doing the same thing with your friends.”I place my chanel bag on top of the table in the living room.Vincent just makes himself comfortable on the couch. Laying his back, and putting both of his feet above the table just next to my expensive bag.“I don't want that. I don't want to force myself.” Oh, just kill me. Why is he always saying things that make me feel like they're meant to impress me?I give him a tired look. Not because I'm tired doing the whole shoot, but because I'm tired of his pick me attitude.“You don't want to force yourself?” I tsk, “Vincent, you're a man. You can't fool me.

After walking past knocked out Vincent, I went into the bathroom to clean every part of myself. The quick shower that I took didn't even last for five minutes when my tummy started to rumble.“Guess, it's time for dinner.”In my PJs, I head to the kitchen to start preparing the ingredients for the dish that I'm going to cook.But then, my body suddenly tells me that I'm too tired to do all the cooking. And hell, there's two mouths that I'm going to feed. Mine and Vincent's. It won't be quick to cook a meal for two, plus I don't know what the hell he would like to eat for dinner.Instead of cooking, I browse through the internet to look for what my stomach will fancy to eat for dinner. And at the same time, something that Vincent will want to eat too.I'm thinking of Thai food... and then Chinese food.Until I end up browsing the menu in Clara's.I don't know, but I'm never going to have enough of eating foods from Clara's.As I scroll through the bottom, my eyes spot the bourbon stea

“Who was that? Who called you?” Vincent enters the living room holding a tulip glass with white wine in it.Until he reaches my direction, standing in front of me, I am still staring into thin air. Still in shock, and still in a state that I couldn’t move pass by.“Aurella?” He waves his hand in front of me in attempt to take my attention. But it wasn’t enough, I am replaying in my head what the caller just asked me.The tone of his voice; the uncertainty that hides behind it.I can’t seem to move on from it.“Here’s your white wine if you want it.” Vincent places the tulip glass on top of the table before giving up on getting a response from me. He then sits on the couch, still wondering what type of force made me like this.“Is it a big deal? Because you wouldn’t be like this if it isn’t a big deal.” This time, I finally have the ability to look at Vincent who is also looking at me in question.“It’s none of your business, Vincent. If I were you, I wouldn’t ask.” I am back to giving

“There she is!”Walking through a bunch of customers inside my store is now an everyday struggle for me.“Omg! She's so gorgeous!”I barely got up today.“Can we take a picture?” A girl in her twenties approaches me with a smile.With my head throbbing, I immediately declined her with the gentlest way possible. “I'm very sorry, I can't function well right now. My head is aching so bad. Terrible hangover. Can we take pictures later?” I glance at my wrist watch, “Before lunch. Can you wait or maybe return? I really need to take quite a rest in my office real quick.” I smile at her apologetically. Looking at her face, she seems very understanding and her smile turned gentle too.“I understand.” She responds, her voice not that audible for others, but for me it is.“Thank you so much. What's your name?” I continue to soothe the hell out of her when it's my head that I should be dealing with.“I'm Kayleigh. I'm a fan.” I can tell that she's trying so hard to seal her excitement inside. It'

“How's your head?” Lucas gently places the tray on the table with our orders in it.I flinch for a little when he mentions my head. I don't know why, but it hurts even more when it's acknowledged.“Still aching.” I reply as I continue to scroll through I*******m. There are pictures of Lucas and I, and it's everywhere. It's flooding my socials.‘Why are you with Lucas?’ I received a message from Trudy after a while when the pictures were spread by fan pages and by other people that like to feed off of my personal life.I ignore my brother's text, and I turn off my phone when Lucas finally takes the seat beside me.I knew that going out with Lucas will cause chaos both in my social life, and my personal life. I knew that people would be quick to conclude something by just looking at photos, and I knew that I would look stupid in their perspectives.But somehow, Lucas made me feel that I shouldn't really care. He made me feel that I should live my life the way I wanted.I have been living

"Good morning, Kevin. Why are you grinning like that?"Kevin opens the door for me as we both enter my office.Last night was somehow special to me, but it definitely had to end. I have work for the next day, and so I went home to get some sleep.Hell, I only had a few hours of sleep. I made it in my penthouse around 2 o'clock in the morning."You could never guess." The grin on Kevin's face is now matched with his voice that sounds like he's about to drop a bomb before me.Usually, when he's like this, I always end up getting good news that makes me day. So, I don't feel nervous about it because I need something to motivate me do loads of work.But can't he just tell me?"Of course, I could never guess. But can you just spill the beans for me?" I sit on my swivel chair, and he settles himself on the chair in front of my table.He's still grinning like an idiot."You haven't checked your phone yet, didn't you?" Oh, now he's taunting me."To be honest with you, I didn't have the time t

“So, how cruel is life to you lately?” Heide pours me a glass of champagne that my head tells me to decline. But I've had enough declining, so I'm taking this one.Just this one.“I would say about forty percent. I mean, you know. Same old shit. I disappeared for five years, and now that I have come back, nothing much has really changed. I just feel stronger now.” She hands me the tulip glass and I accept it with my gut bubbling in excitement.I really missed drinking liquor.“You're still loaded with work?” She takes a sip of her champagne.I nod, “Yeah.”“And there's still a problem with your Uncle Naveen?”“Uh-huh.”“Still no long-time lover?”“Yes, positive. Still no long-time lover.”I can see that she's having trouble believing me, but at the same time I know that she trusts me. I don't know how to put in words, but that's how she looks right now with her frowning and with her eyes squinting at me.“Why is it so hard for you to find a lover?”I know that she's seriously asking m

“Call me when you can, okay? Update me about the family dinner.”I swear to God, I want to roll my eyes every time I say ‘family dinner’.“Sure. But maybe I'll be in Vegas next week. So... let's update each other, I guess?”Harvey laughs after saying his goodbye as he enters his car. I wave my hand at him, and then I also climb into my car after I watched his disappear.We had a long conversation that it took us a long time to finally get to the part where goodbyes are said. If I didn't mention that I have to drive my ass all the way to Heide’s place, I don't think he'll even think of going home.But I'm glad that he will chase the love of his life.The woman surely doesn't want to be found, but Harvey is doing everything to find her. And I doubt that he won't find her since Harvey does have a lot of connections to deal with situations like this.Well, I have nothing left to say. But to wish them both good luck.Dear Destiny, kindly give my brother and my cousins their deserved happy

"What are you talking about, Harvey? He can't do that. He doesn't have the authority."Harvey starts to massage his forehead as he rest his head on the couch. It's clear that he's already stressed enough about it, yet I'm still adding more to it. Making it worse for him.Well, how the hell should I react? He can't expect me to be happy regarding this shitty information."That's what I thought too, but I guess the whole family decided to give him that authority since his one and only son is finally back."What? Uncle Naveen's son is back?Oh hell, what is happening?"So, it's going to be a dinner dedicated for his son? Welcoming him? Is that it?"The audacity. Uncle Naveen couldn't be more shameless. He's a thick face, and I don't understand why the whole family would just let him have things his way.And now, I'm certain that it's going to be hell for all of us because his son will definitely add more fuel to the fire.His son is an exact carbon copy of him. We used to get along with h

“What?!”As much as I want to, I can't contain the sudden attack of surprise within me.After assisting the girls earlier, I went straight to my office to call my friends. And now, we're all face timing each other.“Yes, Aurella! You heard me right. Now, what are we going to do?”It must've been God's plan to urge me to call my girls. If I didn't, I wouldn't know that Heide is now out of prison.“How is that possible? I mean, wasn't she sentenced for like a decade?”I'm not certain how long she's supposed to be in prison, but I didn't expect her to be out this early. She must've used a huge amount of money to be out.God. That woman and the power she holds.“I don't know anything about it too. But yeah, it's like she was sentenced for a decade or more.” Liv's voice is quiet and calm, but I can still sense that we all share the feeling of being afraid.There's no reason for us to be afraid. After all, Heide is our friend for such a long time. But after what she's done to Conrad, I don'

“She’s so secretive, and sometimes it makes me wonder how those two suddenly found their way to each other and became a couple.”This woman beside me is now spilling too much information that I’m unaware of if I’m even allowed to know it.I haven’t even moved past the fact that Bryce Tryst has a girlfriend, and this woman here decided to blabber on and on.“Their relationship is so private that they can’t be seen together in public. My friend said she feels like Bryce is hiding her, but somehow, she was able to shrug it out of her system. He showers her lavish gifts though.”It doesn’t feel like she’s here with me to buy an engagement ring anymore. A little bit of this TMI chat, I will start felling like Bryce hired her to pester me today.But why would he? The hell I care if he has a girlfriend.“I mean, what else is there to need, right? If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t even feel like my boyfriend is hiding me. I will feel like I’m single instead, and I’m undeniably rich. How good

After all the interactions that I have made with the customers, I finally get to head to my office to have a short rest. It’s quite draining to entertain people, and sometimes people on the internet tend to forget that.They tend to forget that celebrities are also humans. We also get tired.“What’s that?” Instead of greeting Rina, a question gets ahead of me with my interest being caught by the bouquet of white roses on my table.“Oh, someone sent this for you, ma’am.” Rina is in between of keeping her smile or letting it show because it’s starting to creep in. She’s losing to herself because I can see that she’s also intrigued.“There’s a card in between the flowers, but all I saw was the name of the receiver.” She hides her face by covering it with her hand. But before she can even fully hide it from me, my eyes already saw that she’s blushing.“Let me kill your curiosity for you, Rina.” I chuckle, as I walk to my table to see the card myself.My hand quickly picks up the card that

“He lied to you, Unique. I wouldn't use you to forget her.”Lucas is standing in front of me, and both of his hands are making gestures as he continue to talk. I sit comfortably on my swivel chair; convincing myself not to take every word out of his mouth too seriously.I was about to do make an ‘anonymous’ agreement with the people that Bryce has transactions with. But then, this man showed up.“I know that I should've told you from the very beginning. But I thought that it would be more fragile if I mention her name to you.”Yeah, right. More fragile, my ass. He's kind of making a point, and I know that I will instantly flinch once he mentions her name. But I still do think that it might've been better if he told me as early as it can be.Because right now, I can't think of any good reason why he wants to make it up to me this time.Nothing as good as his aim to show her that he's better with me.“I'm sor—”“Why don't we talk about this later?

When the phone call with Vincent ended, I didn’t waste any second and changed back into the dress that I was wearing earlier. I returned the robe to where I took it from, and I gathered my things before silently leaving the hotel room.There’s a part of me telling me that I shouldn’t trust Vincent, but how else would he know about Lucas’ girl best friend? How else would he know about Dahna’s sister? If it’s a trick created by Bryce and Vincent, at least it helped me to separate myself from Lucas.It helped me realize that Lucas will never be mine.As I wait for the elevator to open, I start to type a message for Kevin regarding the first thing that we will be doing tomorrow. Lucas had already brought too much baggage in me, and now that I know about his hidden motives, I am willingly putting distance between us. I need to focus on what I must do, and what I must not do.I can’t promise to myself that I will never be fooled again, but I will try my best. Knowing that once I start givin
