THE SYSTEM GAVE ME A GLOW UP (Ugly no more, men at my feet) 46: Elias' POV
Something was wrong.I could feel it. Not that it was something that was hidden anyway.Avery had changed completely.And the worst part was that I knew exactly why.....it was my fault. All my fault and I had no idea how to make it right anymore.I had decided to be a complete idiot and take a good woman for granted. A woman who had loved me since we both were pimple faced teenagers who had no idea what life was really like.Talk about a generational fumble.Vincent Roland and Dominic Greyhound.Those two names had been circling my thoughts for days.Were they seeing her?Were they touching her? My girlfriend? Was she dating themThe thought of that being a remote possibilty made my chest tighten painfully.I just watched Dominic drop her off and lord only knows what they were doing in the car before then and now she was walking past me like I did not exist.“Avery,” I said again as she walked toward the stairs.She didn’t even look at me.“Are you dating them?”She stopped ans slowly

Dominic’s car pulled up outside my private 6 bedroom mansion late that night. The engine remained running as we sat there in comfortable silence for a moment.He turned toward me.“So,” he said slowly. “How exactly did you learn Dutch? Does your ancestery lead there?”I smiled.“I told you. I’m multilingual.”That wasn’t exactly a lie but it wasn’t the truth either.The truth would have much stranger to talk about and harder to believe.Just a few weeks earlier, the system had assigned me a task and the reward was the instant comprehension of spoken languages.Now, all I needed was to hear a language once to understand it.Dominic studied me for a moment before chuckling.“You’re full of surprises, my darling.”“I’ve been told that before.” I replied trying not to blushHe leaned closer and the air inside the car suddenly felt warmer.“Avery,” he murmured.His hand slid gently onto my thigh and I didn’t stop him.Instead, I leaned back in my seat as his fingers moved higher beneath th

The gates of Greyhound Manor opened slowly as my car rolled up the long private drive.Even after 200 years, the sight of the estate still carried weight. The manor rose in the distance like something out of another century and it actually was. It had stone walls, tall windows glowing warmly against the evening sky, and gardens that had been maintained by generations of Greyhound staff.Beside me, Avery looked out the window calmly, taking everything in without saying a word.Most people reacted very differently the first time they saw the manor. They stared, asked questions, tried to impress me.Avery simply observed. It was of the numerous things that I liked that about her.“You’re quiet,” I said as I parked the car.She turned her head slightly, a small smile touching her lips.“I’m just admiring the place.”“It’s quite an old girl,” I replied.“It’s a powerful girl,” she corrected.I chuckled softly. Maybe she understood more than I thought.I stepped out of the car and walked

I couldn’t bring myself to move. I stood there frozen in the center of the ballroom as Elias, my boyfriend, took Avery’s wine glass as if it was something normal to do. As if that was not humiiating enough for me, he decides to add insult to injury by following her.Just like that like a stupid, loyal pet.My fingers curled into fists. As I watched him walk away from me.Watching him trail after Avery Mane like she had placed a leash around his neck. The same Avery Mane that he had treated like trash.The entire room was watching.I felt my throat go dry and heat rushing to my face.No. This wasn’t happening.No no no.This was my gala. This was my event, my special night. This was not how this was supposed to play out.Yet somehow…I was no longer the center of attention.As expected, the whispers began spreading across the room.I heard a few people snicker behind me.“Oh my god…”“Did you see that?”“He just left with her.”“Isn’t this Delilah’s party?”'''So much for couple of
THE SYSTEM GAVE ME A GLOW UP (Ugly no more, men at my feet) Chapter 42: ELIAS’ POV
I had imagined seeing Avery again. In my day and actual dreams, I would see her next to me; laughing and being her usual playful self just like old times.God knows I had imagined it a thousand times.In my office.In my room.During my photoshoots.In the shower.Sometimes even when I was having sex with Delilah.Other times when I was sitting across a conference table with my manager discussing with major investors and companies. Avery was on my mind 24/7.But nothing.... absolutely nothing could have prepared me for this very moment.For the woman that conquered my heart and soul had just walked into Delilah’s gala as if the world itself had been waiting for her.For a moment, I genuinely forgot how to breathe.She looked like she had fallen from heaven.Beautiful and stunning were words felt embarrassingly small to describe the Avery that I was currently looking at. How did she manage to get like this?The gown she wore seemed woven from light itself, pale gold and silver threads

Tonight was perfect. Everything about tonight was perfect. It had no other choice than to be perfect.I stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring my reflection for what must have been the tenth time in fifteen minutes.The gown hugged my figure flawlessly. So flawlessly in fact that I now felt bad for any other woman in attendance.None of them could ever compare to me and it was way too obvious.I looked elegant, powerful but most importantly, unforgettable.Exactly what tonight demanded because I know that tonight wasn’t just a gala. Tonight was a statement.Elias had convinced me to host it.Which could only mean one thing. He was finally ready to make things to move past his weird behaviour and put the rumors of a looming breakup to rest.It also meant that he was ready to quit his weird tantrums, cut back on the drinking and focus on his job. I was horrified that he had cancelled an important shoot for no reason.I was so impressed by this gala idea that I was even read
