Beneath the Flawless Skin Chapter 11
"Perfect! Harper, your core strength is insane!"Max the photographer yelled excitedly, his voice bouncing off the walls of the massive New York photo studio.Camera flashes went off wildly.I gripped the heavy battle ropes tightly, took a deep breath, and whipped them violently up and down.My strong, toned arms flexed beautifully under the bright studio lights.There was no more dizziness. No more trembling.Six months had passed since the swap.I had completely thrown out every rib-crushing corset and transitioned into a highly paid fitness model.The shoot today was my first official campaign as the lead global ambassador for a top athletic brand.I finally had real muscle, endless stamina, and total control over my own life."Great work today."As soon as the director called cut, my mother walked over in a sharp suit.Instead of a terrible low-calorie protein bar, she handed me a heavy, insulated lunch box.I popped the lid off. Inside was a steaming hot seared steak, fresh avocad

The next morning. The witch's dimly lit suburban house smelled sharply of burning sage and old dust.My mother slammed a massive check onto a velvet-covered table."Take the money. Break this ridiculous curse and bring my real daughter back. Otherwise, my lawyers will burn this place to the ground."The witch, dressed in a faded black shawl, didn't even blink.She slowly pushed the six-figure check back across the table."Magic isn't a business, madam." The witch's raspy voice echoed in the room. "It's a lesson. Money can't buy back a soul."My mother's face turned livid, but before she could start screaming, I put a hand on her arm.The witch's cloudy eyes shifted, looking back and forth between me and Bianca."You wish to return," the witch murmured. "Tell me why. What have you learned?"I stepped forward, looking directly into the witch's eyes."I learned the true value of my health." I pointed at my frail original body. "I refuse any glory that costs me my life. No runway is worth

It was two months into the semester, and the chaotic night of the school's annual charity fashion show had finally arrived.The backstage air was thick with cheap hairspray, heavy perfume, and suffocating anxiety."Bring the finale dress over!" My mother's sharp voice cut through the chaos.She marched in, flanked by two stressed assistants.I leaned against the doorframe, watching the scene coldly.Sitting in front of the brightly lit vanity mirror, Bianca was curled over in obvious agony inside my body.The heavy designer dress weighed her down like a pile of bricks. She simply couldn't stand up.She clutched her chest, cold sweat sticking her loose blonde hair to her deathly pale cheeks.My mother marched up and slammed a heavy clipboard onto the table. Makeup brushes bounced and scattered across the floor."Harper, stop acting dramatic. You have ten minutes until you walk the runway. Get up and get dressed." Her tone left zero room for argument."I... I really can't breathe..." Bia

At three in the afternoon, the campus coffee shop smelled sweetly of espresso and fresh pastries.I sat by the window, enjoying a warm whole-milk vanilla latte.Smack!A crumpled document was slammed onto the table right in front of me.I looked up.Bianca was standing there, drowning in the designer jacket I used to love.But now, the jacket hung on her like she was a wire hanger.I could hardly believe I was looking at my own body.That once-beautiful face was deathly pale. Her eyes were sunken, and my signature blonde hair looked dry and brittle as dead grass.She looked like a ghost about to shatter.Bianca stared at me, her bloodshot eyes brimming with tears."You win."She pulled out a chair and collapsed into it. Her voice was weak and hoarse.I glanced down at the document on the table.Notice of Contract Termination and Breach of Contract."Looks like the shoot didn't go well," I said, leaning back. I wasn't mocking her; I was just stating a fact."I can't do it anymore." Bian

"Tighten your core! Harper, you look like a dying turkey!"Max the photographer yelled excitedly, his voice bouncing off the walls of the massive New York photo studio.Bianca, stuck in my body, clenched her jaw tightly.Two extremely thin steel wires dug mercilessly into her hips, suspending her fifteen feet in the air.The blinding studio lights shone right on her face, baking her until she felt dizzy.The humiliation from the homecoming dance three days ago was still haunting her.The brand demanded a high-fashion wire shoot.She desperately needed to nail this campaign to prove she deserved this flawless body.But her body was completely failing her.She had only been suspended for five minutes.Her slender waist was shaking uncontrollably.Her stomach muscles cramped horribly, feeling like they were being stabbed by a thousand hot needles.She used all her strength trying to straighten her back, but she had absolutely no energy left.Her body slumped forward. Her arms dropped weak

Halfway through the dance, the bass was deafening.I leaned back comfortably in the center VIP booth."Hey, Bianca." Hudson's voice cut through the noise.Wearing his varsity hockey jacket and holding a Solo cup of spiked punch, he slid into the seat next to me."That was quite a stunt back there. But putting others down isn't going to win you any popularity contests."He slid a cup toward me, leaning in with that arrogant smirk he thought worked on every girl.Then, he tossed his Jeep keys onto the table with a clatter."Let's get out of here. The music sucks anyway. The team is having a bonfire by the lake. You can ride shotgun."I looked at him coldly. I used to think he was hot, but now looking at him just made my stomach turn.I didn't touch the cup."A private party? Just for us?" I raised an eyebrow, mocking him."Of course, a spot saved just for you." Hudson winked and reached out to put his arm around my shoulder.I dodged his arm, stood up, and walked right over to the DJ boo
