Racheal's POV"Rayla!!" I whispered her name, halting her tracking process.Her casual office outfit indicated where she was off to. Unlike me, I was only dressed in my night dress, which meant I wasn't a bit ready for work, though I had no plan on going day. Things are going as planned, and I had to make sure everything was in place before taking my leave yesterday. The rest should be handled by Juliet.I know she might not appreciate that I had to keep her on her toes right now.With my outward flowing silk nightgown, I dashed towards Rayla, who had her back facing me; I draped my hands on her shoulder blade, waiting for her to shrug it off, which she didn't.I take it as a yes from her before standing in front of her."I'm sorry Rayla. I don't mean to hurt your feelings; I don't know if that was how you've been feeling.....I was just so afraid, and I hope you understand that," I said in the last speech in a whisper.Her facial expression was evident of mixed emotions I couldn't poi

Racheal's POVI could only stare at my phone after I ended the call with Noah. I could sense the pain and the unpleasantness in his voice even when he tried to hide it from me.His tone lacks his characteristics, which seem unusual.I was left to ponder on what exactly could have stirred things up; I was confused as different suggestions flooded through my mi, and, leaving me in the center of the big sea." Could Rayla have told him about Ariella? I swear I knew his chortle holds a lot of unsaid words." I was mumbling to myself, asking questions to no one.I could feel the urge crawling to me, the urge to pick up the phone again and call him back, asking him the meaning behind his chuckle, what he meant when he deliberately emphasized the Mrs.I was pacing in a circle just at the side of the pool I was in, a habit I couldn't get rid of any time I wanted to figure out something." Don't do this......Who knows, maybe he intentionally left you hanging so you could call him back, and you

Kelvin's POVI leaned back against the cool leather of my office chair, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. The glare of the midday sun streamed through the windows, but all I felt was a suffocating heat, amplified by the chaos that had unfolded in the last few hours. My dad's voice echoed in my mind, insistent, disgusting, and authoritative as usual.I knew he wouldn't give up easily; the eerie silence between us had to be broken by someone, and whatever he might have wanted to add would never come out pleasant to me.He made it all sound like a caring parent when talking about my arms. I was disgusted by the fact that people saw me as weak just because of it especially this old folk that wouldn't leave the chance to boss me around like a minor.“You need to take some time off, Kelvin. This accident—everyone’s talking about it. Let Kim handle things for now. She’s more than capable.” My dad said with a commanding tone, the one he was used to when it came to ordering me around.

Kelvin's POVNoah's eyes lit up the moment I broke the news to him. I could see his face flickered with different expressions, but the one I could point out was the expression that he had failed to mask away, which was the hurt that was evident on his countenance."Seems you still love her?" I asked with a knitted brow, and he rolled his eyes as a response. He wobbled sprawling on the couch opposite me;" The media caught your view at a great angle......you look hot, I think I understand why Kim left me for you"I glared at him with a bombastic side of my eye to shut him off." It's not funny Gordon"I preferred calling him by his last name, I don't like how his name usually sounds to my hearing. He loved it as well, which he replicated by shortening my name to Kev." What are you planning to do, we both know she still has more under her sleeves......I know you didn't come here only to sulk and be left with no solution" His tone sounds so damn hurt, but it was the truth.I shot him a

Rachel's Pov.The car was parked just outside the concert hall, its sleek black frame gleaming under the lights. The plate read "RA LAVANTADO" in bold letters, a name everyone in the fashion world recognized. But not the woman behind it, at least, not yet. I sat in the backseat, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, my heart racing. I wasn’t sure if it was from the excitement or the nerves. Maybe a bit of both."Are you sure you’re ready for this?" Rayla asked, her voice breaking the silence. She was sitting in the passenger seat, her head turned back towards me. The concern in her eyes was almost enough to make me reconsider."You’ve been working for this moment for years," Sophia added quickly as if she could sense my hesitation. "You’re not backing out now, right?"I took a deep breath and forced a smile, though it felt weak. "I’m ready," I said, my voice steady even if my heart wasn’t. "I have to be."I glanced out the window, seeing the entrance to the gala buzzing with people dre

Noah's POV"Rachel Houston," Juliet’s voice echoed through the room, calm but ringing with finality. The moment she said it, I felt like the air had been sucked out of my lungs. Rachel Houston, the woman behind RA Lavantado, the brand everyone had been talking about for years. How could this be possible? Rachel, of all people? The same Rachel who had been a ghost since that one night, the same Rachel I had thought was out of my life forever, was now standing before everyone as a global fashion icon. I felt like my legs were about to move on their own to the stage, I needed to see her more clearly, to take in every detail that could confirm this was happening. She stood there, tall and poised, in a fitted black dress that clung to every curve of her body. Her hair cascaded down her back in smooth waves, and the light caught a hint of gold in it. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. My gaze roamed over her body, worshipping every curve—her full hips, narrow waist, and the soft swell

Noah's POVRayla was the first person to move closer to me, but my attention was drawn to a black car speeding away. A white car drove past us as Rayla asked for my assistance to help her inside, and I immediately responded. I noticed beads of sweat forming on Kelvin's temple, but we all chose to ignore any minor distractions that could take our focus away from the reality unfolding around us.I still couldn't believe what I was witnessing; everything was happening so fast. It all started with Racheal revealing herself just as I was finally adjusting to the realization that she was the one I had been dreaming of all along. She had been the one distracting me, making all the other girls seem less appealing.Reporters buzzed outside the private hospital, reporting on the situation that had just unfolded. Different companies were putting out various stories. I was confused about how I should be feeling. I wouldn't deny that I loved Rayla, but Racheal's presence complicated things entirel

SOPHIA'S POVThe sunlight streamed through the hospital window, casting a warm glow over the sterile room. It was a stark contrast to the tumultuous emotions churning inside Sophia. She stood by the window, her gaze fixed on the city awakening from its slumber, the bustling streets below a reminder of life moving forward. Yet, at this moment, time felt suspended. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind like a broken record, each scene etched with crystal clarity. Ariella’s peaceful face, relaxed in sleep, filled Sophia with a mix of relief and anxiety. Her daughter was safe, at least for now. But how would Ariella process the trauma she had witnessed? The image of Rachel's collapse, blood staining her dress, haunted Sophia like a specter. Had they made a grave mistake by encouraging Rachel to reveal herself? The burden of that decision weighed heavily on her conscience, and she couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that settled in her stomach.Rayla’s voice broke the sile

Kevin's POVThe hospital lights were too bright, too sterile. They hummed softly, cutting through the silence in the hallway. I was used to waiting, but this felt different. There was an unease sitting heavy in my chest, and I couldn’t shake it off. I hadn’t wanted to come here, not after everything, but there was no other option. I had to be here. I just didn’t know why.I leaned against the wall, staring at the floor as my mind kept replaying the moment Rachel collapsed. The sound of the gunshot still echoed in my head, like it had happened in slow motion. I hadn’t moved at first, frozen by the shock of it, but then I reacted, pushing through the crowd toward her. But the damage had been done by then. The shot wasn’t meant for her, I knew that much but it didn’t change the fact that it hit her.I hadn’t spoken to Kim since we arrived at the hospital. The car ride had been suffocating, both of us sitting in complete silence. She hadn’t even looked at me when I said I was going, and I
