Ava stood on the set of the photo shoot, a sense of excitement mingling with nervousness. The bright lights illuminated the room, casting a warm glow over everything. She was clad in a robe, awaiting her turn to step in front of the camera.Natasha, her stunning ex-rival-turned-colleague, stood nearby, also preparing for the shoot. The air between them crackled with a subtle tension, remnants of their complicated history. Ava could feel Natasha's eyes on her, her gaze scrutinizing every movement, every detail.As the time came for Ava to disrobe, she felt a mix of vulnerability and confidence. She slipped off her robe, revealing her delicate underwear and the canvas of her smooth skin. But her confidence wavered when she caught Natasha's gaze fixed upon her chest.Ava's heart skipped a beat as Natasha's eyes widened, her attention captured by the faint marks of love scattered across her skin. Hickeys, remnants of passionate moments shared with Sebastian, adorned her chest, telling a s
87When the shoot ended, Natasha tormed her way out of the studio, feeling suffocated by Ava's presence and aloof behaviour. She hated how the latter always behave like she was some sort of saint who couldn't get provoked. Was that why Sebastian liked her? Natasha thought with a growl feeling more irritated as she thought about Ava. Ignoring the stares she got, she stormed down the aisle, out of the building and into her car. Yanking her phone out of her purse, she tapped Sebastian's name rapidly and dialed his contact. After a few rings, he pucked up. "Natasha?" "We need to talk," she announced, her voice grim. "I don't see why we need to," Sebastian grunted. "Give this up Natasha. Seriously, do you not get tired of these games." "I need to see you!" She whined and heard him scoff. "Since when do you need anything from me? Natasha, I'm busy, I have a lot to do-""Will you quit being so heartless?!" She yelled, slamming her palm on the steering wheel before her. "Its me Sebby!
88Kim walked into her classroom, eager to start another day of school and get it all over with. She couldn't wait to be done with school so she prance around all over the place free from assignments, projects, and her ever-nosy college mates. Even now as she walked into the classroom, she could feel their curious eyes following her around. All she had to do was find a seat at the back and pray that the lecturer came as early as possible. "Hey, Kim!" Someone yelled. She gave the guy a bored look, her eyes hinting at the annoyance that thrummed through her veins. "Seems like your sister and Bancroft are the shit recently!" The guy continued. He was one of those rash barbarians. His long black hair was tied in a ponytail, he had thick brows that gave him. a rather Mexican look but his accent was entirely American. His black eyes gleamed with mockery as he spoke. Kim contemplated bashing his head with her desk but held herself back. Taking in deep breaths, she planted her butt on he
Kimberly and Asher sat inside the cozy ice cream shop, their laughter filling the air as they devoured their favorite frozen treats. It had been an eventful morning, to say the least, as they had decided to ditch their college classes to avoid a bully who had targeted Kimberly. But instead of hiding in fear, they had turned the tables on the bully, standing up for themselves and emerging victorious.Kimberly took a spoonful of creamy chocolate ice cream and savored the rich flavor on her tongue. She couldn't help but feel a sense of empowerment and triumph. The incident had reminded her of the importance of standing up against injustice and the strength of friendship.Asher chuckled, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, as he playfully nudged Kimberly's arm. "I can't believe you actually scared that bully away! Who knew you had it in you?"Kimberly grinned, the taste of victory as sweet as the ice cream on her lips. "I guess it's true what they say, Asher. I'm unstoppable!""Hilarious!"
Chapter 90"You ready?" Asher asked again for good measure. He wanted to make sure Kim was ready for what was ahead. Kim gave him a wary look and was about to speak when her phone shrilled. She glanced at the screen to see her sister's name scrawled across it. She glanced up at Asher, wide-eyed. "It's Ava!" "Answer it," Asher urged. "What if she knows what happened? She'll scold me!" Kim groaned, shaking her head furiously. "I don't want to pick up the call.""If she truly knows what happened, then she ought to be grateful!" Asher snapped. "You were standing up for her. Now chin up and pick that call. I'm standing right here." Feeling emboldened by his words, Kim nodded, took a deep breath, and picked up the call. Ava's frantic voice hit her almost immediately. "Kimberly! You skipped school?!" Kim gulped and glanced at Asher briefly. "What... What do you mean?" "Don't play coy with me young lady!" Ava snapped. "I'm not, old woman!" Kim retorted, angry at being treated like a c
91Ava glared at the phone, willing it to break into a million pieces. Her sister had just hung up on her! And she still had no clue what exactly was going on over there. When she had gotten that anonymous call from a student in her school claiming Kim had absconded from school after sucker punching a guy in the face and whacking him to death, she had barely believed her ears. Okay, perhaps she had believed the person instantly. Who was she to blame? Kim wasn't the type to properly reflect on her actions before carrying them out and Ava had been terrified to hear that.Shoving the phone into her purse, she walked down the hallway of Angel Modelling Agency towards the exit of the building. Once she got home, she would make sure Kim understood how important it was to maintain a good image for her and Sebastian's sake. Their hard work could not be undone by her younger sister's impulsive attitude. She had barely stepped out of the building however when the cameras came clicking. Stunne
Chapter 92Sebastian finally closed from work around 7pm that night from work and instead of going home directly he decided to check up on Ava.He has been trying to get through to her but it wasn’t really going and he just felt it wouldn’t hurt for him to check up on her.He was very tired because he just finished a very important business conference and the next thing he was supposed to do was go home and have enough rest to get ready for the next day.He kept on thinking about her throughout the day and thought it’s better if he just went over to see her.He picked up his phone and dialed her number to know if she was going to be home but it wasn’t going through.He shrugged it off thinking probably she wasn’t wearing her phone at that moment and that was why she didn’t pick so he decided to go anyway.Ava normally kept her phone in her room so she was probably watching a movie or so,he thought.After some minutes of driving,he arrived at her house and parked his car outside.He c
93Frantic, Sebastian repeatedly dialed Ava's number, desperately hoping for a response. Where the hell was she? And how had someone broken into her house? Where was Kim too?! Each call went unanswered, deepening his worry. Had somethubg happened to her? Frustrated and fearing the worst, he quickly dialed Kim's number, needing someone who might have information about Ava's whereabouts.Kim picked up after a few rings, her voice filled with concern. "Sebastian, what's wrong? Why are you calling me?" she asked, her voice trembling. Sebastian's instincts told him immediately that something was wrong. "It's Ava, where's Ava?" "What?" Kim asked and he dragged a palm down his face to contain his frustration. When he replied, his voice was laden with anxiety. "I've been trying to reach her, but she's not picking up. Do you know where she is?"Kim paused for a while as if musing over her thoughts. "I don't know. I thought she would be home." "Well she's not. Where are you as well? Aren't
