It was Saturday already, and I had a mountain of tasks ahead of me. First on the list was my hairstylist, followed by the makeup artist. I rolled out of bed around 10 AM, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. After a quick shower, I splashed on some fragrant body lotion that always made me feel fresh. I whipped up a quick breakfast, a smoothie loaded with fruits, before diving into some documents that needed my attention.

My hairstylist wouldn’t arrive until 1 PM, leaving me with a bit of time to strategize for the launch of Pourle’s products. As I scrolled through my phone, a headline caught my eye: “Isabella Accepts Position as Ambassador for Queenk Cosmetic Company.” A chill ran down my spine. Queenk was an international brand, known for its luxurious products, and they had been competing with Pourle in the market. They had entered the Madea market two years ago and were making strides, but they hadn’t quite matched Pourle’s reputation yet.

  • Beyond The Surface    chapter 52. Taking Things Slow

    **Maya's POV** I don’t know which lead he’s found yet but I pray it leads somewhere. We also talked about finding Elizabeth. I held my phone tightly in my hand, trying to process everything. I needed to speak with someone about this and I thought Maimai and Christi would be the best options. I scrolled down my contacts and dialed Maimai's number.“Hey, witch!” Her loud but comforting voice came through immediately as the call connected.“You should stop doing that,” I said, placing the phone back to my ear with a small smile.“Can you come over for dinner today?” I asked.“Sure! Who misses free food?” she replied.“You’re just unbelievable,” I said before ending the call.Here's the edited and proofread version of your passage:**Alex's POV**I glanced at Isabella, who was sitting beside me at the dining table. Only God knows how much I didn’t want to be here. Giggles and whispers from Elena and Franklin, who were sitting opposite us, floated through the air. I tried my best to avoid

  • Beyond The Surface    Chapter 51 Painfully Obvious

    **Alex’s POV** “Damn, that was close,” Adrian muttered as we slipped into the cool, marble-floored lobby of the Hotel. His voice carried a mix of relief and that infuriating smirk he always wore when he knew he’d gotten under my skin. “Yeah,” I said, frustration carved into every line of my face. “I was not expecting to see here.” My jaw clenched as I shot Adrian a pointed look. “Why the hell was she asked to leave?” Adrian threw his hands up, his grin widening. “Hey, bro, don’t give me that look. I had no clue it was her. When Isabella called last week, demanding to be scheduled for today specifically, I thought it was weird but you know your woman doesn’t take no for an answer.” His tone dripped with mischief and I could feel my patience thinning. “Call her my woman one more time and I swear I’ll rearrange your face,” I snapped, not in the mood for his teasing. He chuckled, completely unfazed. “You should be grateful, man. I saved your ass back there.” “Saved my ass

  • Beyond The Surface    chapter 50 A Lead

    We stepped outside, the humid air doing little to ease my agitation. As I approached my car, a sleek black SUV pulled up across the lot. A man stepped out and our eyes locked. My breath caught. He looked different—sharper, more polished. A tailored tuxedo clung to his frame, the Italian fabric catching the light. I recognized him instantly.“Alex?” I called, my voice softer than I intended.He froze for a moment, then broke into a warm smile as he crossed the lot toward me. “Hi, princess.”I couldn’t help but smile back, despite the chaos of the day. “What are you doing here? And in a suit, no less. You clean up nice.”He chuckled, adjusting his cufflinks. “Thanks. Maya, meet Adrian, my friend.” He gestured to a tall, impeccably dressed man beside him, exuding easy confidence.Adrian extended a hand, his smile genuine. “Hello, Maya. Nice to finally meet you.”“Nice to meet you too,” I said, shaking his hand, though my mind was still reeling from the hotel fiasco.“What are you doing

  • Beyond The Surface    Chapter 49 Contract Terms

    The sun glared down as I stepped out of my car, the heat clinging to my skin like an unwanted embrace. My heels clicked sharply against the pavement, each step echoing the weight of my unresolved burdens, Which should I tackle first? The question gnawed at me, relentless, as I made my way into the office, my assistant Blessing trailing close behind. “Good morning, ma,” Blessing said the moment I crossed the threshold, her voice bright but tinged with caution, as if she sensed my mood. I nodded absently, sinking into the worn leather chair behind my desk. The office smelled of stale coffee and printer ink, a familiar anchor amidst the chaos in my mind. "What’s on the schedule today?” I asked, arranging my laptop in front of me, forcing myself to focus on the day’s demands. Blessing consulted her tablet, her fingers swift. “The photo shoot for Priscilla is this morning. She’ll be here soon. Maxwell is also stopping by later.” “Alright,” I murmured, my fingers hovering over the key

  • Beyond The Surface    chapter 48 Find Her

    The names hit me like a punch to the chest. Marcus—my father. I reread the certificate, my mind struggling to process the words. My hands began to shake, and I turned the paper over, finding a handwritten note in my father’s familiar scrawl: "I know I haven’t been the best father, but please find your sister. With love, Dad.” I looked up at Mr. George, my vision blurring with tears. “What… what is this?” He sighed, his face heavy with the weight of the truth. “Your father was trying to find her for the last three years. He wanted to reunite the family.” “Does Mom know?” I asked, my voice trembling as I tried to steady myself. “Yes,” he said gently. “Your mother knew about her.” I shook my head, disbelief coursing through me. “How did I not know? How could they keep this from me?” Mr. George leaned forward, his voice calm but deliberate. “Her name was Elizabeth. She worked as a maid for yo

  • Beyond The Surface    Chapter 47 Lassie Marcus

    **Alex’s POV** “Dude, how the hell did it happen?” Adrian was sprawled across the couch in my apartment, his grin so wide it practically split his face. He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, like a kid waiting for the best part of a story. I couldn’t help but smile, the memories of last night flooding back—Maya’s laughter, the way her eyes softened when she looked at me, the way her body fit against mine. “It just… happened,” I said, shrugging, though the warmth in my chest betrayed how much it meant. “Congrats, man,” Adrian said, reaching out for a handshake. “You’re officially off the market.” I gave him a skeptical look, shaking his hand anyway. “Thanks, I guess.” He sobered, his expression shifting to something more serious. “So, when are you gonna tell her?” I took a deep breath, the weight of his question settling over me. “Soon.” “How soon, Alex?” Adrian press
