All Chapters of The Undying Passion: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I woke up with a pounding headache and got out of bed to run to my medicine cabinet. I looked at the bags under my eyes and covered my eyes. Jeez! I looked and felt horrible for some reason. I took some Tylenol and got dressed in a gray blouse with a black pencil skirt and heels. I curled my hair and clipped half of it up. I put some concealer under my eyes and applied some light eyeliner and red lipstick. I left my room and went to grab some breakfast. Maggie was reading the newspaper as she looked up at me and then back down to the newspaper."Look great" she mumbled. "Uh...thanks" I stammered. "When are you going to stop being mad at me?" I asked as I prepared a bagel."When you wake up Maddie" "From what?! What have I done?" I asked."You're 22 and he's 26, you're fresh out of college and he's a huge CEO, you're from a small town in Massachusetts while his family bathes in gold. Do you get my point?" "Maggie, when will you learn to look past the obvious? So what if he's 4 ye

As I walked into the studio, I saw a bunch of tall beautiful women walk out with portfolios in their hands. I smiled when I knew that Ryan had fully supported me in this. I rode an elevator up to the set to see the photographer pacing across the room. "Ah you must be Madeline?" He asked I smiled and shook his hand "that's me" "I'm señor Chavez and this is my crew. We have a shoot today for Reebok Sport. Go get settling in hair and makeup" I walked over to a table with bright lights and makeup all over the place as two women began to do my makeup and hair. A young woman walked up to me and smiled "hi Maddie, I'm Veronica. Ryan hired me to be your personal manager." "Nice to meet you" She nodded and smiled "now today we have a photo shoot with Reebok and if all goes well, I'm expecting more photo shoots in the future. Now I'm sure you know this but part of modeling would be lingerie shoots"I nodded and motioned for her to continue "I encourage all my models to exercise and stay

As I woke up from my deep sleep, I could feel light pouring into my eyes. I heard beeping and the sound of people talking in the background. "She's awake. Oh thank god" said a deep voice. I sat up and rubbed my eyes to see Ryan standing at the foot of my bed talking with my manager Vicky. "Darling you're awake" Vicky said as she smiled at me and sat down her huge binder on a chair. Ryan walked over to me and took my hand in his "you've been sleeping for a good whole day." My eyes widened "a day?!" I sounded raspy. He smiled at me and I could tell he hasn't shaved for a while because of the beard forming on his face. His shirt was wrinkled and his pants weren't sitting on him properly. "I want to go home" I sat up and started touching all the wires all over me."Hold on, I'll get a nurse" he said as he jogged out of the room. Vicky looked at me and smiled "glad you're okay Mads. Everyone was so worried! I postponed your photo shoots for next week so you have a good week of rest"

He held my hand and stroked it "I remember my dad coming into my room at around 4:30 in the morning saying my mom died in the hospital. We jumped in the car with our pajamas on and sped down there just she was being taken off of her machines. I just can't get the image of my frail, pale, and skinny mother out of my head till this day" I stroked his hair as I listened "her pain is gone baby. she's at peace now." He shook his head "I wish I knew where she was. I just want my mom back" his voice cracked at the end and I could feel the arm of my sweater become wet. At this point I myself could not hold back my tears. This beautiful broken man just wanted his mother back and was sitting in my apartment at 4 in the morning, crying in my arms and I couldn't help but cry too. I wanted to cry with him.I hugged him to me tighter and kissed his forehead. "She'll always be here with you. Always. Always. Always" He nodded and held me tighter as he silently wept. Eventually we made it to my c

January 23rd; interview day I felt nervous. Extremely nervous. I didn't want to sit in front of a camera and an interviewer and then embarrass myself. Ryan was used to these things and he gave me a more than decent pep talk last night which ended up with some great sex and me driving back home with my pants halfway down my legs. I stood in front of my floor length mirror with two different dresses in my hands. I had literally tried on 4 different dresses and 3 different hair styles. I settled with a black and white knee length dress with some black heels. I left my hair curled and put on some eyeliner, mascara, and pink lipgloss. I got a phone call from Ryan and I happily picked up the phone. "Hello?" I chirped. "Hey babe. Do you want me to pick you up?" He asked.I smiled as I pulled a bottle of water out of my fridge "sure, if you want, maybe we can have a little fun later" He laughed "now I have to change my pants" I laughed and covered my mouth "you're so freaking disgust
