“Ughh, she's so gorgeous, it is actually annoying!” an older lady sitting directly across from Zander in the VIP lounge whined, waving her hands decked heavily with fashion rings.

She was scrolling on her phone, obviously viewing some pictures.

The much younger lady sitting beside her inched closer to her and peeked into the phone.

“Gosh! Are those the latest Jimmy Choo sandals from their new collection? I thought those were out of stock!”

“Well, apparently she is one of the selected few that got their hands on those sandals. I am so jealous!”

Zander’s frown deepened and he gave himself a mental slap for the hundredth time for forgetting to get his ear plugs.

Now, he was forced to listen to this annoying conversation until his jet was ready.

To make matters worse, he was actually on his way to London for a fashion show. Could it get any worse?

“The jet is ready, Sir”

Zander jumped out of his seat in relief. Great timing Jeffrey! Goodness! He thought his ears were about to bleed with

    Cassie's stomach was a mess and her heart wasn't helping matters either.The D-day was finally here. She was about to walk the runway for one of the top high fashion brands in the world. She had tried so hard to keep the news on the low. Her management had insisted that her appearance on the runway would have more impact if it came as a surprise but Givenchy wasn't having it.“Your coffee Miss Cassie”She looked up, startled out of her thoughts to see her assistant extending a cup of coffee to her.She was about to asky why when she suddenly remembered asking for it earlier.“Oh.. thanks”She accepted the cup, careful to avoid any spill on her robe.The hairstylist was pulling and pushing her hair in all directions, working silently to get her ready.“The stage is set for your final rehearsal if you like. The director made some little changes to the set up and you may want to see it”She didn't like last minute changes. She nodded and made a mental note to check out the stage again b

    Zander took his place at the front row with Jeffrey sitting right behind him. The show was about to start and based on Jeffrey's advice, it was simple courtesy to sit and watch other designers showcase their collections.His eyes travelled the length and breadth of the hall, hoping to catch a glimpse of her even when he told himself over and over again that he was just scanning the audience.“The Aurora Collection by Givenchy” the host announced softly bringing his attention back to the show.He joined the audience in giving a round of applause as the models hit the stage accompanied by soft classical music.“Hmmm” He had to admit that runway fashion had evolved since the last time he paid any attention.“Impressed?” Jeffrey whispered from behind.He leaned back and angled his head so that only Jeffrey could hear him.“I think the right expression is pleasantly surprised”“I haven't seen her yet. Are you sure Cassie B is walking the runway tonight?” A man sitting beside them whispere

    Zander couldn't believe his eyes. Was he just hallucinating or he was really watching his brother kiss Cassie on the forehead and hug her in public?!The same brother that announced to the entire family that he had given orders for Cassie to be released from prison and didn't know her whereabouts?She slowly lifted her arms and wrapped them around Cameron's neck, then brought them down to accept the huge bouquet he brought with him.“Awwww, you're so cute! I didn't know you guys were a couple!” Mia was literally turning to a pile of mush while watching them.Ben had an embarrassed frown on his face as he realized that he had been wasting his time.Zander on the other hand was beyond flabbergasted.He cleared his throat again and again.“Umm Cameron, I was not expecting you here”Cameron who appeared to be whispering something to Cassie managed to pull his gaze away to look at Zander.There was that unmistakable grin on his face that Zander had come to despise.“Ohh, I jumped on my je

    “You have work to do, Cameron”It was a weak excuse and she knew it but she didn't want to seem too excited. He covered the distance between them and hugged her, smiling sheepishly.“Don’t be silly. I can do whatever I want. And by the way, I can hang around and be your standby photographer”Seeing the excitement in his eyes, she went into full girlfriend mode. They had never gone on a trip abroad together.“This could be our mini baecation! I jave so many things I want us to try together”They were off to a boat ride the next morning and soon enough, Cassie was wondering why she had the idea in the first place.“Cameron? Babe?”He seemed so engrossed in whatever he was reading on his laptop that he didn't even hear her.“I thought this was about spending some time together but since we came on this boat, you have not paid any attention to me”He glanced at her briefly and returned his attention to the laptop“I am sorry love but some of us have real jobs with real responsibilities.

    “Maya Barns - The Next Picasso or The first of her kind?”Cassie beamed with pride as she read through the article. She had stumbled on the article celebrating young artists and found Maya’s name at the top of the list.She quickly reached for her iPad and called her sister on video chat, signalling for her photographer to take a break.No type of photoshoot could stop her from hearing from Maya right now.Her sister picked on the third ring, brandishing her painting brush. She was obviously working on something in her studio.“Hey Picasso! What are you cooking up this time?”Maya's eyes lit up and she laughed cheerfully.“Well….you are interrupting my session ma'am. I do not like to be disturbed” she teasedCassie laughed, cherishing the moment.“I couldn't wait for one more second! You're on the top of the list girl! Look at you! Making waves, making big moves!”Maya beamed with joy and pride.“It came as a huge surprise, Sis. I am still soaking in the news.”A thought crossed Cassie

    “How dare you appear before me after everything you did?” He began.His voice was cold as ice, dripping with rage.When she lifted her face to meet his, he was taken back by the pain staring back at him. Her eyes flashed with anger and she leveled him with a cold glare.“I was wrong about you”“Really? How so?” His voice could barely hide the sarcasm behind the question.She really has the guts to look him in the eye without any form of remorse? His mother and sister were so right about her. He couldn't believe the confident arrogance in her attitude.“When we first met, I was so sure that you were a kind man, blinded by grief but I was wrong. You're an arrogant, self-absorbed jerk”She stood to her feet and faced him, looking directly into his eyes.“Arrogant and self-absorbed?”Zander chuckled in disbelief. The nerves of this woman!“I picked you from the gutters and gave you the precious task of carrying my child and you turned around and ruined my life”He didn't know what to expe

    “Your brother is a much better man than you will ever be”“You are just an arrogant and self-absorbed jerk!”The words kept Zander up all night, tearing through his mind like a sharp knife, squeezing air from his lungs.He couldn't forget the look on her face as she delivered the hard blows. She looked like she really meant every word she said to him. As his limo made it's way to his mansion after picking him from his jet, he scrolled mindlessly through social media, looking for nothing in particular.Jokes on you, Zander, he chided himself. Few hours ago, he had actually thought being alone was a good idea.“Maybe I should have brought Lizzy in the flight with me” he thought aloud.The nice girl had shyly asked to join him but he has given a stupid excuse to blow her off. Something about the jet's engine being in bad shape or something. He paused his scrolling on a page that had managed to get their hands on pictures of Cameron and Cassie walking hand in hand into the party venue i

    Cassie's phone pinged, alerting her to a message. With a quick glance at her phone, she saw that it was from her sister.“Hold on a minute, please” she raised a hand to cut off her makeup artist. She opened the message from Maya and it read;“Check the videos I just sent to you now! Have you seen the news?!”Why the drama? She wondered. She had been very busy from the moment she stepped back into London. Was it another rumor about her?She hurriedly rushed to view the message and videos.“Oh my God” She jumped down from the makeup chair in shock.BREAKING NEWSThe Scott group of companies has just lost three warehouses and the entire Scott Jewelry headquarters in a fire. The police thinks it was not an accident. Investigation is ongoing and more details will be uncovered soon.“I need to go”The makeup artist was puzzled.“Miss Cassie? I am not done yet…”But Cassie was already wiping the makeup off her face and gathering her stuff. Her assistant and bodyguard hurried after her as

    An hour later, she was punching in the passcode to her door and asking herself for the umpteenth time what a friendship with Cameron Scott actually meant?What the heck were you thinking, Cassie?You really have to stop letting them talk you into these things.She glanced at her phone for the third time since she got home.Maya again. She will give up at some point.She dumped the phone on her queen sized bed and peeled off her clothes, trudging slowly to the bathroom.A shower or a soak in the hot tub? Her eyes went from the shower to the bathtub time and time again.Sighing, she strolled to the bathtub and flipped the water on. She dropped in her bath bombs and a few rose petals and let her mind wander off to a handsome young man holding her hand so gently, she could barely feel his touch.Stop it Cassie. Shaking off the silly thoughts from her head, she hurried to the living room and grabbed a glass of wine.She slid into the perfect water and let the scent of vanilla and roses ove

    Cassie wrinkled her brows, staring back at Linda who had an unreadable expression on her face.After a long moment of silence, Linda turned back to her bagels and transferred them into a baking pan covered with a baking sheet.She spoke as she lifted each bagel and placed them one after the other, arranging them into straight rows.“I am surprised to hear that you still need Cameron's permission to do anything. That worries me more than anything else you have just mentioned”With a quick glance at the ceiling, Cassie sighed loudly. She sat on a nearby high stool as her legs suddenly felt wobbly beneath her.“It is not like that, Linda. It is just weird. I understand why he is angry about my meeting up with Zander and I don't want to cause more problems between them.”Linda glanced back at her with narrowed eyes“Problems? Are they fighting?”Cassie nodded, wringing her hands repeatedly “They have been fighting for a long time now and I don't want to get in the middle of all that righ

    Dr. Brown's brows went up in surprise but she quickly recovered from her shock and smiled.“You didn't seem open to seeing someone new the last time we spoke…”“Oh no no no, that's not what I meant…” Zander quickly interrupted, sensing what she thought he meant.“Oh”“I met her a long time ago. She was the surrogate I chose for my baby”Dr. Brown narrowed her eyes but didn't reveal any emotion on her face.“Go on”He chose his next words carefully, making sure that he didn't pass any wrong messages across.“We had a terrible misunderstanding after she lost the pregnancy in an accident and we parted ways in a horrible manner…”He then proceeded to narrate the entire story leading up to when he found out that Cassie had been framed by his sister and Bella Hampton. He left nothing out. He also told her of his meet ups with Cassie and how they went.At the end of the story, Dr. Brown lifted her head from her notepad and exhaled slowly.“How do you feel about the situation right now?” she

    “Did Maya asked you to come to my house by this time? Did she tell you about my meeting with your brother?” She asked in disbelief.She had to stop this nonsense soon enough. Maya was beginning to overstep her boundaries. “He is not my brother! Stay away from him!” Cameron spat out.Making sure that she was looking him straight in the eye, she said “You cannot order me around anymore. Do not get ahead of yourself”Before she knew what was happening, he quickly grabbed her arm tightly and forced her to look into his face.“Let me go! You are hurting me!” Cassie screamed but he squeezed her arm harder.“I do not want to see him anywhere around you ever again!” He ordered, his eyes cold and unfeeling.Fighting back the fear that surged through her, she shook off his hands forcefully and increased the distance between them.Like someone who had just been possessed by something, it looked like he had just realized what he did.He took a step forward but she backed away even further, poin

    Her soft round eyes met his across the bucket of chicken and it felt like time froze in that moment.“Why?” She asked softly, breaking the silence.He considered his answer very carefully, knowing that it could ruin the moment if he was careless about it.“Because, I think you might be the light I have struggled to find for so long”He held her gaze, hoping that his eyes told her the many things he couldn't put into words.She didn't look away or pull her hand away and he considered it a good sign.She opened her mouth to respond just as the doorbell rang, shattering the moment and forcing him to let go of her soft hands.“I am not going expecting anyone. Who could it be at this time?” She muttered as she got on her feet and headed towards the door.He heard her gasp softly and rose to his feet, wiping his hands on the paper towel. Then came Cameron's voice.Cameron - “Hey babe. I was just in the area and I wanted to check on you”.Cassie - Sounding irritated and whispering harshly “Y

    (7PM DINNER TIME)Zander took one last look at his shoes and exhaled sharply before pressing her doorbell.He couldn't help the anxious pounding in his chest as he waited for her to open the door.He heard some movement behind the door and soon after, he was staring at her face to face.“Hey, you made it”She sounded disappointed for a moment. Did she expect him to turn down the invitation?“Yeah….” He trailed off, feeling the awkward tension between them go up several degrees.He chose to wear a shirt and suit pants without the jacket and tie for thirty dinner but from her dressing, she was going for a more casual look.Her hair fell in loose curls, framing her face beautifully and she wore a strapless floral dress that hit the floor in graceful waves.Tearing his eyes away from her smooth skin, he cleared his throat.“Can I come in?”She opened the door wider with a nervous smile, giving way for him to enter the room.“Sure”His eyes fell on someone standing with her hands crossed i

    (SEVERAL HOURS EARLIER)Cassie smiled at the pizza delivery guy who had just brought in her order, signed and carried the large box into her house.She had ordered the pizza on her way home, eager to just relax and spend some time alone.Ever since her modelling career kicked off, it has become increasingly difficult to get any quiet time for herself.On her way to the living room where she had a movie waiting, she grabbed a bottle of wine.“It is ME time!” She took one look at the sofa and another look on the floor, then settled for the comfort of her sofa.Making herself comfortable on the sofa, she opened the box and poured herself a glass of wine. Few minutes into her movie, the doorbell rang and she turned to the door in frustration.Who is it again? I am not expecting anyone this evening. The doorbell rang again and again in quick succession until she was forced to get up and get the door.She looked through the monitor and rolled her eyes, then opened the door to let Maya in

    Zander paused at the therapist's door for a minute and considered running away.Come on Zander! You're not chickening out of this right now! Dr. Kim's words came rushing back to his mind.“Maybe the answer is in healing from your wounds”You have spent a long time running away, Zander. How much longer until you actually break down? Taking a deep breath, he turned the door handle and walked in.His therapist was a kind looking woman that looked old enough to be his mother. Her soft smile and warm greeting made him feel at ease.“You are Dr. Brown?” It wasn't exactly a question but it sort of came out that way.She laughed a little and waved him to a seat.“I take it that you were expecting something else. Someone much younger perhaps?”He shifted nervously in his seat and cleared his throat “Err…not really. I am not sure what I was expecting. Sorry if I sounded weird”She shook her head with an understanding smile “In this room, you are allowed to be your weird self. There are no

    “Okay let's get a shot from the side. Can you look up and into the distance for me, Cassie?”Drowning out the noise in the busy studio, Cassie obeyed the photographer’s orders as usual.“How much longer do I have to stay this way?” She whined.He only chuckled and changed his position to take even more shots.“Alright, you can change the pose. How about some skin?”Their eyes met and she raised a brow at him“How much skin are we talking about?” He moved over and adjusted the oversized shirt she was wearing to give a little teasing view of the lacy bra she was wearing underneath.“Let us start here. Give me some spicy poses, okay?”She nodded and changed her pose severally while he took his shots.“Oooouuu that is really nice! I love that. Hold on a minute!”Few shots later, he got bored of the look again and she laughed at the pout he made.She loved working with Liam. He found a way to make the shoots fun and enjoyable every time.Suddenly, she noticed everyone staring at the entra
