Bianca's POVI had a shoot today and it was for a perfume commercial. It was going to be kind of busy and I couldn't wait to get started. The brand, Isabelline, was launching its first ever couple line, tagged, 'Helen and Paris'. It featured a handful of items that were manufactured in pairs, strictly for couples.Isabelline had started off with a Helen and Paris matching underwear collection. The following year, they launched a Helen and Paris beauty cream and roll-on collection with different types that sold at different prices depending on the customer's budget.Now, their long anticipated perfume collection was underway and was set to be released the next month. They had reached out to me to feature in their commercial alongside Wayne Ross, a famous, hot male model I got a chance to work with once.Wayne was very famous, he had the looks of an angel yet the features of the devil himself. I didn't know how to put it but his handsomeness was a weird mix of the two. Wayne was sex on
Bianca's POV"Him?" One of them, Hart, grimaced as he held Liam with a grabbing stare. His eyebrow was arched, his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line and his nostrils flared a little. I realized that the thing with his nose happened very often."Yes, him," I replied with a hint of cockiness blaring in my voice. I had full confidence that Liam was cut out for the job. He was more than cut out for the job, even."Isn't he your bodyguard?" He arched his eyebrows even more as he asked. "He's your bodyguard right?""Yes, Liam is my bodyguard but believe me when I say he's over qualified for it. He's just the man you're looking for, trust me.""Has he modelled before?""I don't think he has but what does it matter?" I shrugged."This is a huge deal. The Helen and Paris collection is not to be considered as some kind of a joke.""Yet you made a joke out of it and now here we are.""Well..."I cut him off, "I don't think you have much of a choice. You're running out of options and
Bianca's POVLiam's hand was still glued to my lower back and his other hand held my thigh in the air. He pushed me backwards slightly, staring deeply at me. I stared right back at him, one of my hands around his shoulder and the other one on his hard chest.The beating of my heart increased rapidly and I felt like it would rip out of my chest any time soon. I was almost out of breath, like I had gone a marathon. I didn't know what was wrong with me. It wasn't like this was the first time I was this close to him. We had been in such proximity quite a number of times but I felt like it was getting worse by the day.The more I grew closer to Liam, the more helpless I began to feel. The more time I spent with him, the more I fell deeper in love with him. I felt extremely hopeless and spellbound. When I was with him, he was the only thing I could see. It was as though nothing else mattered whenever he was with me. All I could see was him.Even now, it was as if he was the only one in the
Bianca's POVYes! We made it!The commercial was a huge success! Isabelline had been skeptical at first about letting Liam model for the Helen and Paris collection but they gave it a thought. Liam wasn't all that bad for them. As a matter of fact, he wasn't bad at all. He was perfect! He was a perfect replacement for Wayne Ross and what's more? A fresh face that hadn't been used anywhere before.A month after we shot the commercial, the Helen and Paris collection was launched and it was nothing short of expectations. Actually, it was beyond expectations. There were some who had thought that since Liam was a nobody in the industry, it would affect the sales.On the contrary, it made the sales skyrocket and the reason for it other than the fact that Liam had done marvellously well, was because the masses recognized him as my bodyguard from Nicole and Fredrick's wedding.And that was how the whole drama that had died down months ago resurfaced. Videos and photos from the wedding flooded
Bianca's POV"Sky, let go of me," I said, pushing his tall frame off my body. I struggled to free myself from his grip but he was too strong for me, it felt like a colossal waste of time.Sky refused to let me go. We were still standing in my doorway and he was practically squeezing the life out of me. Serious, I could feel my life slowly seeping out of my body. I was choking and running out of breath and it wasn't funny anymore. When he made no attempt to release me, I gave him a knee to the groin just how Liam had taught me.I wasn't too hard on him though. I understood he was under the influence of whatever nonsense he had taken. It was quite normal for people who were dead drunk to utter rubbish and do all sorts of nonsense. And had it been a stranger or someone I was only a little bit familiar with, I wouldn't have pitied him whatsoever. I would have unleashed the monster in me and sure as hell made the bastard impotent for life.Sky staggered backwards, clutching his groin in pa
Bianca's POV"Sky, you don't have to do this," I said to him in a almost a whisper. "Please, you can't leave like this."I stared at the piece of paper in my grasp and then stared back at Sky. My hands were a little bit shaky and my palms were sweaty, a cold shiver went down my spine and my breathing became heavier. I tried so hard to hold back the tears that were pooling in my eyes but I was failing miserably. I couldn't fully understand the reason why I had gotten so emotional, it was more than Sky quitting as a bodyguard.I'd had quite a good number of bodyguards over the years and each of them had to leave at one point in time, some I fired and some decided to leave on their own. There wasn't one that made me this overwhelmed with emotions. There was no reason for me to shed a tear about their resignation or whatsoever but not this time.Sky had been my closest, longest and my most favourite bodyguard. I had taken a liking to him because of how dedicated he was to the job. He tre
Liam's POV"What are you doing here? How'd you find me?" Sky asked with a grunt, giving me a nasty stare. He eyed me and darted his eyes away from me. He gave all his attention back to the beer bottle he held tightly in his grasp.I had come to some bar to look for Sky and I did find him looking like a big bag of crap. He was sitting by the counter, gulping down beer after beer. I saw four empty bottles of beer standing lazily in front of him on the counter. His shoulders were drooping and he leaned forward, both his arms tiredly resting on the counter as well.His hair was in a mess and his eyes were reeking of exhaustion and sleeplessness. He looked exasperatingly tired and bereft of happiness. It was as though he had given up on life itself and it was so sad to see him that way. He looked too pathetic. I couldn't believe this was really Sky. He seemed like a completely different human being, a pathetic shadow of himself.Love really did quite a number on him. I almost felt bad seei
Bianca's POVI screamed as my hands came in contact with the hot pan and I almost dropped it on the floor. "Fuck!" I ran to the sink and turned on the tap, allowing the cool water run down and caress my skin. I glanced at the spot, it was slightly reddish and still hurting.Just great!I had forgotten to put on my mittens and had rushed to get the pie out of the oven. Maybe, it served me right. I was too careless with kitchen duties and I knew very well that I sucked at it. If there was one thing I doubted I would ever be able to do in my life, it would be cooking.I was a terrible cook, the worst of the worst. If ever there was a contest for World's Worst Cook, I would go home with the trophy with ease, it would be as simple as ABC for me. If there was only one terrible cook on this planet, it was definitely me. If there was no terrible cook on earth, it would mean that I was dead.Yeah, that was how horrible my cooking was. I wasn't very proud about it but I stopped caring a long ti
