The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 52: The badass Clarisse
Alice felt on top of the world as she was enjoying the limelight she had wanted, she was greeting almost every lady in the hall, showing off her dress and when the celebrant entered the hall, she was so happy to hear the gossip that she was looking more beautiful than her.She walked towards her, her face beaming with smiles while Ashley's face was hardened with a frown," Happy birthday Ashley", she cooed as she got to her and hugged her which irritated Ashley, " Thank you", she replied coldly with a fake smile," You look so beautiful today", Alice complimented," Thank you, if I hadn't known better, I'd have thought you wanted to steal my attention", she accused," No way, I'd never do that", she replied grinning but that only irritated Ashley more.A lady walked up to them right then," Hi, ladies"," Hi", they replied but instead of the lady greeting Ashley with happy birthday, she turned to Alice," Hi Alice, isn't this Mortana dress?"," Yes, it is"," OMG ", the lady exclaime
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 53: How people change
Christian soon arrived inside and met Ashley looking worried instead of happy since it was her birthday but he didn't have the time to start worrying about her, rather he asked," Have you seen my wife?"," Where have you been?", Ashley glared at him angrily," Huh?"," Where were you when she was being bullied?", " Bullied? By who?".Ashley inhaled deeply looking so worried hesitating to tell him knowing what he was capable of but Christian soon began to hear the murmurs." He's so handsome, how could he go for a woman like that", he heard one of the guests say," I'm sure she deceived him", another woman added,Christian frowned upon hearing lots of absurd rumors that he didn't want to believe it was for his wife. " The party is noisier than I have thought ".He said a familiar voice said beside him and looked at him," Your wife that you were looking for seems to have to keep the guest entertained before the celebrant could ", Kyle said smiling and sipping his wine, " but I can't

People change, at a point, people change but in most cases, it's not because they want to change, pain forces them to change. Frustration, anger, broken hearts, broken souls, when they no longer trust, when they no longer have any expectations from anyone or the world, constant betrayal makes people change, it makes one with a softened heart become cold-hearted, the fragile timid ones becomes indifferent to protect their selves, to protect themselves from the same hurtful feelings, people change not always because they want to, but because they are forced to.Christian saw her scream for protection as she walked in, his eyes fixed on her, every step she took spoke thousands, her head held up told him she was in for the worst, and her dark eyes told him her walls of protection were up. As she stepped into the room, a hush fell over the crowd. Her presence commanded attention, an ethereal vision of grace and beauty that seemed almost otherworldly. She had a luminous glow about her, her
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 55: Playing with Fire
Ashley kept receiving gifts from her friends and the guests after dancing and thanking everyone for attending her birthday party. She stood before her brother and his wife smiling at them." Thank you so much for coming, I really appreciate", she said to Clarisse." You're welcome", she replied softly," And I'm sorry about earlier, my apologies, and I must say, this dress looks better on you", she complimented." Thank you", she replied with a faint smile." And my birthday gift?", she demanded grinning in anticipation as she stretched her hand towards Clarisse who was taken aback." Huh?", it dawned on her that she had come empty-handed to her sister's in-law birthday." She has sent it to you, it should be delivered by now", Christian said rescuing Clarisse whose mind has run wild thinking of what to say.She heaved a sigh of relief the moment he said that."Aww, thank you so much", Ashley cooed, " I can't wait to see what it is", she danced in excitement amusing Clarisse who could
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 56: Risk taking
Clarisse watched Christian heading towards his room after arriving from the party and contemplated on whether to tell him what was on her mind or not but he noticed she wasn't heading to her room and stopped on his track. He turned back to her and saw her looking at him," Is everything okay?", he asked," Yes"," Something you want to tell me?"," N...yes", she hesitated, " I'm sorry "," Sorry for?"," For what I did to the dress", she said and heaved a sigh expecting some harsh words as she braced herself," There's no reason to be sorry for making it more beautiful ", he said and went inside his room leaving Clarisse who was disappointed.She walked briskly to his room," Why? Why are you not angry? I ruined the dress and I'm sure it cost lots of fortune..."," Yes it does ", he cut her short and walked towards her.Wondering what he was up to but before her curiosity settled in he flicked her forehead." Ouch", she winced as she up at him, she was taken aback," Silly girl", he s
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 57: There's nothing you can't do
Patricia was waiting patiently for Alice's message in the sitting room, anxious about the outcome of their plan. They've viewed Ashley's party as an opportunity to execute their plan. She thought of how they had planned and what the outcome could probably be as curiosity and anxiousness were eating her up.The plan was for Alice to drug Christian during the party, after gaining the limelight and causing the people to bully Clarisse and drive her out of the party, she'd take the initiative of keeping his company so as not to feel bored and make sure she drives Clarisse out without Christian's knowledge so he wouldn't go for after her. After that has been achieved, she'd find a way to slip a pill into his drink, he'd get dizzy and turned on after taking the drink and she'd escort him out of the party with the excuse that he was drunk and take him to a private suite where they'll have sex. This is the main plan, what comes afterward is an assurance and a triumph card to Ferdinand's.She
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 58: Biggest Mistake
Standing and staring out of the window, she wrapped her arm around herself as she felt the chilly breeze, it was getting windy like it was going to rain, her face was blank but her heart was heavy, and her mind was occupied with lots of thoughts.' I want to be strong, I have to be strong', she said as she recalled every event, none of it was pleasant, all bitter and worse memories, her life had turned upside down right from the moment she was told that her parents were dead, after the funeral she couldn't remember the last time she had a smile or laugh heartedly, she remembered when her clothes get tighter and when her foot wears cut, she has to walk around barefooted, put on tattered clothes. Her cries from the beatings, the maltreatments, the words that cut deeper than sword, her first wedding day that was a memory she doesn't want to remember, the night her virginity was taken violently, her cries and agony that night, her pleads and screams that tears her apart, how she lost her
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 59: Taken by surprise
Woo!Feeling the buzz from the beer, they let out a loud cheer and scream of excitement. Their operation to snatch the cargo ship was successful, the goods that were worth millions of dollars were now theirs. More bottles kept losing their caps along with the deafening music playing." Hey guy!", one of the men shouted, " Stop! The boss is here", the guy who looked half drunk shouted and the DJ quickly turned down the music.They quickly stood in attention as they saw the man who seemed to be in his late forties walk into their midst with his hand tucked into his pocket. They bowed as he stood before them, accompanied by his guards, he raised his left hand as they gestured for them to stand straight. " Good job guys, for the success of the operation", he began, " now we've shown every organization that we are not to be looked down upon, what you've done today is not just some snatching but reclaiming the power that belongs to us", he proclaimed loudly, his solid voice was loud enough

The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 184: Semi finale: Tears and regrets
( Still flashback)Clarisse's heart tightened after listening to the recorder; she took a deep breath as tears gathered in her eyes. It was a lot for her, listening to a family of hers plotting her death.Christian pulled her closer into his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?".She smiled bitterly and nodded, her chest getting tight and firm, " they were never my family", she said coldly." They killed my parents and now their daughter is planning to kill me"," Would you have gone truly? If I hadn't played this tape", Marissa asked," I would have, I would have agreed to meet her, but where she gets it wrong was thinking I would move according to her plans if she really wants my forgiveness, she'll come to see me, if we have to meet then I'll book a restaurant and I won't go anywhere without telling my man about it".Marissa sighed, " I don't think she'll want you to tell anyone that you want to meet with her "," That's for sure", Ryan agreed," I said I won't move according to her
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 183: Flashback
(Flashback)Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to something she had never noticed or something she pretended not to notice. Realizing which relationship she wanted more and which relationship she never wanted to end, she picked up her phone after prioritizing someone she never wanted to think about or imagine losing.She took her phone and dialed Alice's contact; after concluding to meet, she went to take her bath and get dressed before calling Ryan.Praying and wishing he picked, she felt so relieved and happy when he did after the third rang," Hi, Ryan"," Hi", he replied coldly," Can we meet, please? I would come over"," Okay".Her heart ached when he coldly hung up; she swallowed hard, accepting the coldness, and with more desperation, she headed over to his place. After the short drive, she arrived at his house and took a deep breath, exhaling heavily before stepping out of the car.She knocked on his door and he opened the door." He
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 182: Taking her by surprise
( very early the next morning)Alice walked out of the house and headed over to where Marissa's car was packed; she opened the door with Marissa's key and reached out for her bag; she opened Marissa's bag and took out the pistol.She smiled heartily at the gun, " beautiful", she uttered and threw the bag back into the car before closing it and heading back into the house.Her stomach grumbled as she stepped in; she went straight to the kitchen counter to make herself a cup of cornflakes and tucked the gun into her back pocket before heading to the room where Clarisse was tied.With her head banging and spinning, she slowly flickered her eyes open to a bright room that nearly blinded her eyes. Slowly, she adjusted her sight to the room light and raised her head to see Alice munching on something; when she took another spoon, she realized it was flakes.Her body felt numb, and she couldn't move; she looked at herself to realize her situation." Oh, you're awake", Alice said, grinning wh

Alice smirked evilly, " Tonight? Can we meet tonight?"," Sure"." Please don't tell anyone that you're coming to see me, especially Christian"," And why that?"," I did the wrong thing towards him also, he'd hate it if you tell him you're coming to see me and he might not accept"," Christian isn't that type of a person, he holds no grudge"," Still," her voice became sadder, " I want you to forgive me and also help me ask him for forgiveness; I'm just scared he'd refuse you to come and see me."Clarisse sighed, " don't worry, I won't tell him", she accepted," Oh, you're such a darling! Clarisse, thank you so much, I'll definitely repay this kindness"," It's okay, let me go and get ready"," Yeah, sure, I'll be expecting you".With that, Clarisse hung up."

" If you're sure she'd fall into the trap then no issue, what do you need, tell me"," I'm going to lure her over to a place I know, I've checked every place in that area, there's no surveillance camera in that area so we don't have an issue getting traced or finding us"," Okay...once you lure her there, what next?"," That's where you come in"," I'm good with knife, I just need to stab her right ?".Alice smirked, "No, there's something else you need to do".Marissa furrowed her brow as she listened to the rest of Alice's plan before smiling satisfactorily and nodding in agreement with her plan.************Clarisse and Blue burst into laughter as they kept chatting and giggling." Honestly, it's so nice to have someone who gets you like no one"," I know right, I've never imagined that I'd be in this situation ", Blue said smiling," I guess no matter how dark this world can be, there are people who are different and special ","And I'm lucky to have met some of them ".Clarisse
The Billionaire's Fashion Designer Chapter 179: Will she fall?
On a pair of jeans short and a blue crop top, Marissa sat on the floor with a glass cup of alcohol in her right hand. She sat on the floor with her elbow resting on her knees, staring blankly into space. Her heart felt heavy, her eyes felt tired, and her busy mind kept replying to memories, not just any memory but her memories with Christian.Remembering when he first got enrolled into the school and how they bumped into each other, spilling her milk on her shirt, how he became Ryan's best friend and automatically became hers as well.She remembered how she always stared at him, how handsome his cold face was, how she was always eager and impatient to see him again the following day, and when it was weekend, she'd suggest hangout, which he never agreed to, but she and Ryan would suddenly show up in his house. She chuckled when she remembered the expression he'd give them." Ah", she heaved a deep sigh.Ryan's words started repeating in her head once again, bringing her awareness to s

Marissa stormed into the sitting room in a rage and threw her purse onto the couch angrily." Hey, you good?", Ryan asked moving on the couch," Of course not, I'm pissed", she said walking towards the fridge to get bottles of alcohol," What happened? Did someone upset you?"," More than upset me"," Who?"," Don't worry, just be my drinking buddy for this night", she said placing the bottles on the table." Tell me what happened, if not, I'm not drinking anything"," Ugh! Don't be childish, I called you to come over so that you can be my drinking buddy".Displeased to hear that, he sighed, " I will be your drinking buddy; I just need you to tell me what happened."Unable to keep it from him, she said fuming, "It didn't go as planned, the plan was to ruin the show, ruin the show dresses but she couldn't even get that done, she's so useless"," What, are you talking about?",Fuming, she said, "I want to make her pay, make her know her place, and not touch what belongs to other people.
