Finally! Inner peace. This day is so exhausting and annoying.
That guy ruined my mood. He's so full of authority and confidence, how come he's just an assistant? He should've switch positions with his boss.
I was about to tuck myself onto my bed to take a rest, but the doorbell started ringing.
When will I live a peaceful life?
I opened the door and Sierra showed up holding two bottles of beer, damn this alcohol addicted woman.
"If you're here just to drink with me I'm not in the mood Sierra Simmons, I need to take a rest this day is so cruel to me," I said slowly closing the door.
"Please... Just one glass then we're done," She said giving me puppy eyes.
"No. Leave now because I need to take a peaceful rest," I said and banged the door closed which made a loud noise.
"Wait! Okay! Okay! I'm not drinking anymore! I'll just put this in your refrigerator," She shouted.
"You have your refrigerator!" I bawled.
"I swear! I won't drink, I can't sleep that's why I came here and besides I'm actually here for a little chit chat cause I suddenly miss talking to you."
"Ugh!" I opened the door widely and walked towards the living room.
"I knew it you can't resist me,"She said smiling from ear to ear.
"Whatever, so what do you want to talk about?"
"Uhm... Let me think."
Minutes past, but Sierra hasn't any topic to brought up so I decided to tell her about that guy who saved me in the club.
"Anyways, do you remember that guy who saved me yesterday?"
"Yes! That tall man with a bulky body. What's with him? You like him!? Who wouldn't though? Even when I'm drunk that time I can feel that he has a very strong sex appeal--"
"Stop complimenting him. I didn't tell you this because he's my type, but the reason is earlier I had a meeting with a client, and my assistant said I'll be meeting the assistant of Griffin Men's Magazine--"
"What!? You got an offer from Griffin?" She asked shocked and amazed.
"Yes, why?"
"You bitch! That company is on top! It has so many branches and the main one is in Italy!"
"For real?"
"Yes! And there's a rumour that the owner of that company is an engineer and he was often featured in some of his magazines, but I don't know if it is real because the real owner is anonymous."
"How come? He's the owner of a big company, but he doesn't show off? What about his meetings and press conferences?"
"I don't know, maybe he hired someone for that since he doesn't want to get known."
"That's weird."
"Yes, but isn't it amazing? he doesn't show off and brags about how big his company and how rich he is."
"Maybe, he wanted to live like a normal person."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. So what about that guy who saved you?"
"That guy is his assistant."
"You mean, he's the assistant of the owner of Griffin?"
"Yes, and then when I address him as an assistant he started laughing like hell! It's like I'm saying the most ridiculous thing."
"What the hell?"
"He's seriously weird and you know what he said when I told him to tell his boss that I refused to his offer because he was rude? He whispered in my ears and told me that 'I'm dangerous'."
"I don't get it."
"So am I! They're weirdos and who the hell would name their child dangerous? Like duh..."
"Why did you refused though?"
"Because he asked me to strip!"
"Are you dumb? You refused just because he told you to strip?"
"Yes, why not!?"
"You're so stupid, for fucks sake Carolina Benevolent De Guzman!"
"What!? Why?"
"Imagine every time you are in a shooting, aren't you almost fully naked? So why are you annoyed when he will be the only person to see you naked in that room?"
"You got a point, but still isn't it a bit rude to say that directly?"
"Bitch, if you started a job as a flight attendant, you need to remove all your clothes like one hundred fucking percent! Because they're gone checking your skin! What more if you're a model!?"
"He already knew that I'm a model so what's the point of stripping off? Duh..." I said rolling my eyes.
"Whatever, you're so dumb did you know how much they pay their models? Five hundred thousand to one million a month!"
"Hell no! and why would they offer me a job if I'm just popular in our country not worldwide? Besides, there are more hotter girls than me."
"Because you're qualified to be one! Didn't you get it? You're so dumb!"
My monthly fee is just forty thousand, but not exactly every month because sometimes I don't have clients, but this offer for what Sierra said is a kinda big opportunity.
"Should I undoubtedly accept it?"
"Yes!"
"But I refused it already..." I said guilty.
"Ask Diane to contact him again because you changed your mind."
"Are you sure?"
"Why the fuck are you asking me? It's up to you but this is a great offer, as in better than what offer you mostly got."
"Alright," I said.
Seven before noon is when I usually wake up to prepare, Sierra slept in my condo. She wasn't able to sleep in her apartment because she saw a ghost.
"What's my schedule for today?" I asked Diane as we walked inside the agency's building.
"A go-see Ms.Carolina."
"For how many hours?"
"Four hours miss."
"The hell? Am I going to tell them my whole life starting at zero year old?"
"No, but you're not the only model there. There are three other models from the big three agencies."
"Then why am I there? If most of the models attending there are the big three."
"I don't know miss, ask your manager."
"Whatever, contact Mr.Dabal and tell him I changed my mind."
"You're accepting it miss?"
"Yes."
"Great!"
"Tell him that I'll sign the contract after this go-see."
"But miss you have a shooting with Victorious."
"Move it."
"Okay."
"Where's the location of go-see?"
"Maxime conference room."
"What time?"
"After you meet your manager miss."
"Alright."
My manager told me that he already solved the issue. People didn't make it a big deal, it's just some articles who are making it more dramatic and the reason why I'm joining a go see with the big three is because of the issue yesterday.
The media already started to ask us, I was the first one to get questioned.
"Ms.Carolina is that true that you engaged in a fight yesterday?"
"Yes," I answered directly.
"Why are you here if you are not one of the big three?"
That question was a bit rude, but I need to be professional when it comes to these kinds of things or I'll be blacklisted within a day.
"Because people wanted to hear the issue yesterday from my own mouth not from my manager," I said and smiled.
"Why did you slapped Claudio Marcus or the guy you had a fought with? "
"Because he was disrespecting me of how I dress."
"Do you have any relationship with the guy who saved you yesterday?"
"No, we're complete strangers."
After asking me they proceed to the big three.
"What did he said?" I asked Diane.
The go-see ended already and now we're heading towards the parking lot.
"He told me that you should beg for it."
"What the hell? For real?"
"Yes, miss he also told me that you should go there alone without any assistance."
"What is he planning to do?"
"I don't know miss, he just said that he wants you all alone and ended the call."
"That man!"
"If I were you miss I'll do it. Imagine a million or half salary every month."
"Really?"
"Yes, miss."
"Okay let's change our position then."
"We can't do that miss. But for real, I'll do everything to earn that money. Don't be choosey miss the opportunity is already near you."
"Alright, then tell him I'll come now. Give me the car keys."
"Are you sure miss you don't want me to come?"
"Yeah, I'm not a kid anymore and besides that's what he wanted"
"Okay miss, good luck!"
Damn him, he's full of authority. How can he have such confidence when he's just the assistant?
I entered the elevator without asking the lobbyist, I went there all by myself since he wants me alone.
"Ma'am, do you have any appointments with Mr.Sapphirus?"
"Sapphirus who? I'm going to meet Mr.Dabal."
"We don't know any person whose name is Dabal ma'am."
What the hell?
"Ma'am you can't enter his office without any permission!" She said but she's too late I opened it already.
"Fuck!" He bawled and pushed the girl off of his top, poor human being.
I was stunned. He was having sex with a girl! But never mind, I'll be just informing him that I'm accepting his offer.
"Sorry, If I disturbed you both. But Mr.Dabal I'm accepting your offer and let's just sign the contract tomorrow since you're busy today. Thanks and have fun!" I said and quickly run out of that office.
Oh, my freaking gosh! What did I just saw!?
Damn him! After he said that I should go there all alone and beg that's what I will run to.
He's so disgusting! Why is he doing his manly things in his office? That was so unprofessional! I wonder how will his boss react if he found out that his assistant is having sex during office time.
"Up for a party?" Sierra asked over a call."Yes, please I need to have fun my days became miserable since I met that arrogant guy.""You're overreacting again, Carol just don't mind his arrogance and continue to live like what you used to. Besides, why are you so affected with him that much?""You don't get it, Sierra I'll tell you later what I witnessed earlier.""Great! I'll meet you at the club okay?""Yes, see you!"I'm wearing a nude dress and a nude pump. I don't need any foundations or eyeshadows, my face is perfectly fine it's just my lips who's pale that needs to have some color.As I entered the club people are staring at me, who wouldn't? If they saw an angel like me it's normal to turn their heads, lol just kidding.I saw Sierra sitting on the sofa with a girl, what the hell that traitor.
Four in the morning.Someone is calling me making my phone ring continuously."Hello," I greeted lazily."Hi, miss! Remember you have to be at Mr.Sapphirus office by seven good luck!""Tell him that I'm not coming.""Are you going to quit your job miss?""Yes!""But why?""Because of him and why would you call in the middle of my sleep? Goodness Diane!""Mr.Sapphirus asked me to call you though.""Tell him to mind his own business--""Give it to me. I'll talk to her," I heard the arrogant's voice behind Diane."Tell him that I don't want to work with him!""Good morning," He greeted with a deep tone."Nothing is good in the morning!""Can you lessen your v
The magazine cover that features me and Sapphirus went viral.Everyone is shipping us and commenting that we're a good match."Congratulations!" My manager said."Miss you became trending in social media because of your visual," Diane said.We are inside Sapphiru's office celebrating our achievement.I just smiled at Diane as an answer. After all, I'm busy answering my phone's messages because my auntie and friends are congratulating me."Since you guys became trending why don't you both pretend sweet to each other?""What the hell?" I suddenly stopped answering messages on my phone because of what I heard."Agree!""Like whenever Mr.Sapphirus go to an event with his co-business man, you'll be his partner.""This isn't included in the contract," I said and went back to
"What the hell do you want!?" I asked and shoved his hands."It's already past one a.m and Diane said that we have something to talk about right!?""So what!? It is not that urgent!""So your job is not important either flirting important!?"Everyone is already looking at us, even the ones who are walking while the others are taking pictures"Nothing is flirting with that!""Let's go," he said calming himself and opened his car's door.I entered the backseat and he started glaring at me and was about to say something, but he just let out a deep breath and ignored it."Why did you do that? And how did you found out my whereabouts?" I asked him as soon as we stepped on his office."You told Diane that you wanted to talk to me to clear things and to change your not appropriate actions to proper."
"Carol tell me what happened?" My manager asked, they went here because Brigor dismissed them."I don't know! He's acting really strange!" I said panicking."Like?""He k-kissed me, and then I stopped him.""Why the hell did he kissed you?""I don't know! He's acting so out of place! When he fetch me in the restaurant he was acting like a hero and then when he told his secretary to call me in his office he was swe-ugh! I can't say the word!""Sweet because he kissed you?"
"I will take this off on one condition.""What is it?""Come with me.""Where?" He asked and place his left hand on my thigh."Anywhere except this place.""Okay let's go," He grabbed my wrist and raised his hands on his friend as a farewell."Where are we going?""Anywhere except this place"As soon as we entered his car, he immediately removed my mask."I knew it," He said and kissed me passionately down to my neck"Wait," I said but he didn't listen "Wait!" I bawled and move my head in the opposite direction."What!?" He asked mad."Calm yourself.""Say whatever you want fast""Bring us back,""Yeah okay," He carried me and placed me on top of him
We were all shocked when he removed his coat and his polo.This guy is seriously insane."Is this okay?" He asked referring to his body.Nobody answered him cause their attention was centred on Brigor's body.I placed both of my palms on my face, ashamed of what Brigor did while the guy next to me couldn't stop his self from laughing."Damn Brigor," Zian said while continuously laughing."What?" Brigor asked."Superb Mr.Griffin," The manager said."What? You're going to remove me?" Zian asked chuckling."Yeah get out of there," Brigor said."Is this allowed?" I asked."Shut up and enjoy," Brigor said annoyed of my question.Why would they let Brigor change role with Zian? When in fact Zian was the assigned model?
"Mr.Sapphirus sent me here to give you these," She place three boxes infront of me, sizes ranging from small to large."For what are these?""For the event tomorrow.""Okay, thank you.""Also, Mr.Sapphirus said that he'll pick you up by four p.m and you don't have to worry about your work for tomorrow because he moved all of your appointments.""Should I fix on my own or he hired some makeup artists in his house?""Yes miss he hired someone and you'll come with him to his house.""Oh! Okay."The boxes have a logo named Experansa, which is an expensive brand.It has a shiny red gown inside, while the other box has a five inches red pump and the last one which is the smallest among the three boxes contains a necklace, bracelet and earrings.My jaw drop when I tried it out.
"Why are you doing this to me!? To us!?" I heard my Father bawled to express his anger at my Mother."I don't love you! You knew that since the very beginning! I was just forced in this marriage because of the agreement between our parents!""I don't care if you don't have affection towards me, but please do have some to your son!""I've been taking care of him for a lot of years and all you did was to work and attend gatherings related to your work!""Because it feeds us and it gives us everything! So, don't belittle my job!""I don't want to be in here! You knew that I still love him, but you pushed yourself! You didn't care about my feelings! You only care about yours!""So, you're doing this because you still love your ex? Does he love you?""Yes, I'm p-pregnant, Brigoure," My Mom said and my Dad started to laugh like a mentally ill person.
"You're up next, Benevolent," The Director said.We're having a live runway to promote lingeries. I was cast to be one with the models who are cast since I am a well known Glamour Model in Italy and I'm one with the stars who get paid a big amount of euros because of modelling.A piece of slow music started playing while I am walking gracefully in the stage. My eyes widened when I saw Brigor in the middle of the stage sitting in a VIP chair while Brice is on his lap smiling widely while shouting my name, but Brigor scolds him that made me almost laugh.Brigor raised his brow at my body while moving his jaw continuously.I smiled when he moves his gaze on my face, but he just raised both of his brows while in his usual deadpan emotion.I turned and walk back to exit the stage.The runway ends within two hours and all Brigor did was to raise his brows and scowl
"Hey, wake up... We'll depart now," A tone of a deep voice said while wriggling me carefully."I'm still sleepy...""They're waiting for us.""What? Who?" I stood up quickly because I was hoping that it is Brice who is waiting for us."Your Aunt and our son.""Where?""In your house," I laid my back again on the bed aggressively when I heard what he said "Hurry up they're waiting for us. Your Aunt prepared lunch."I scratched my head before standing up harshly."Damn, you haven't changed.""What!?" I bawled."Chill..." He said and raised both of his hands to surrender.I wasn't able to sleep last night and I don't know why. Maybe I was excited or not? Well... I don't know. All I know is that I'm pissed.I went out of his room wearing my unusual expression.
The sun is about to set. I stood up and removed the over-sized shirt I am wearing.I can discern how Brigor's people looked at my body. I wonder what Brigor was thinking when he saw my body, is he amazed or bored with it? Since he's been fucking a lot of different women.I shrugged from my thoughts and laid down on the sand while watching the sun goes down.It's been three days since Brigor left me to check on his fiancé.I'm eager to leave this place and hug my son, but when?When will he free me from being imprisoned in this land surrounded by a large body of abiological thing?I was enjoying the view when someone stood up infront of me."Mr.Brigor wants you to stay inside your room, Miss. Let's go," It's the old woman again. The senior among all the maids in his land.I remember her answer to my question 'Does her fi
It's been a week since Brigor is imprisoning me here on his island and he left me here for more than two days up until now hence he has a bunch of tasks to do in his company.All I did was to lock myself inside the room he gave me and plan an escape.I'm free to walk around, but I won't.I hate this place.I'm missing my son so bad.What about my job? What will happen to my clients?There's another island where I can call for help, but it's too far and there's no boat in here since Brigor is riding a chopper every time he comes and leaves.I stood up and leave the room.I went to the kitchen and stood there for a minute before grabbing a knife.I hid it behind my back as I find his maid.I saw one and she's cleaning the living room."Good afternoon, signora Carolina," S
"No! Remove this! You fucking asshole!" I bawled when he placed me on the king-sized bed.I run as fast and far as I can, I ceased when I saw a white sports car going towards my direction. I need to ask for help, I can't run anymore. I'm full of bruise and scratch from what I did.Damn, my manager will be so mad. I raised my hand to stop the car, I thought it won't, but it did. A tall man wearing a brown racer jacket and black shiny pants went near me. "Thank God! I think I rode a wrong SUV, they're acting weird," I said as he walks towards my way. In a swift motion, he handcuffed both of my hands and carried me inside his car. "What's your plan!? Why are you doing this!? Where are we!?" I screeched."Damn, that mouth!" He bawle
Brigor went closer to take Brice from me, but Brice is keeping a firm hold on my shoulders.I can see how desperate Brigor is to hold Brice, but his child doesn't let him.He let out a deep breath before giving up."Prepare your lawyer, let's meet tomorrow in Damaris building. I'll schedule an appointment," He said and left the room.I freed the water inside my eyes, I sob when Brice sobs. We cried for half an hour before leaving the place and going back to our house."Mommy, he bad guy," I smiled and shook my head from side to side."Brice, he's your Daddy.""No, Mommy. Daddy Valerius is my Daddy.""No, Daddy Valerius is Mommy's friend.""He's my Daddy.""Listen, Daddy Valerius pretended as your Dad because Daddy Brigor, the guy we met earlier is in another country bu
Despite the argy-bargy meeting, the chairwoman's plan to collaborate me with Brigor in a magazine shoot succeed, as what the majority of the members in the meeting wants.Since I suddenly left the Griffin without telling the public media, people want to know what's going on between me and Brigor, they thought Brigor did something bad to me that's why I left the country and it made him lose some of his stakeholders.So, to make it easier for them to accept that Brigor is now engaged with someone who isn't me, they'll produce a magazine that has a story between me and him.But the story is going to be made up since the reality of our memories before is a misery."I don't get it," Valerius said."Same as me," I said annoyed."Let those people believe what they want, why does he have to brag you to clean his name?""Wait, set aside those negative point
I was stunned and unable to react, it's him, Brigor.Brigor is continuously reviving his son.After a minute Brice coughed out the excess water from his throat that made him choked."Brice," I said as I remove his wet coat and fix his hair "What did I tell you!? I told you to stay quiet before we got here right!?""I'm sorry, Mommy..." He said while crying.I hugged him before caressing his face."Are you alright?" He nods before hiding his face on my shoulder."Remove his clothes, he might catch a cold," Brigor said and took off his top coat."What do you feel?" Brigor asked Brice.Brice didn't answer instead he hid his face."Is it cold?" I asked Brice."N-No," He answered."What happened?" Valerius
