THEON’s POV AFTER A YEARI was laying in bed with my wife, and she stared at me.I fell deeper into her long red hair as I inhaled deeply, smelling her shampoo scent, the same scent I call home. I gazed at her eyes, the same eyes I fell in love with.This is my home now. And I would never replace her with anything else. “I love you,” I mumbled, caressing her pregnant stomach. She’s six months pregnant now with our child and this has been my morning every day. I then grabbed an envelope and made her read it, “Happy birthday, babe.” I then kissed her passionately. “Thank you for carrying our child.”She gasped, “Did you feel that?”I blinked, “Felt what?”“A kick! Our baby is kicking!” She gasped and I rained kisses on her again.“Okay stop, I’ll read this first.” Saphira chuckled, and read my gift. Good day, Ms. Saphira. We would like to inform us that your request on buying an acre of land on the moon has been granted Frthermmore-“She stopped reading and glanced up at me.“Is this
The loud song echoed through the whole club, echoing as the loud drums in my heartbeat thundered. In the midst of the swarm of bodies dancing, the sweaty bodies grind against each other, dancing to the rhythm, forgetting about tomorrow. There he was. Standing in all his glory. Our eyes met, locking eyes even with the distance. I shuddered at his gaze, his dark chocolate eyes piercing against my soul, entrapping me. I stopped dancing and it felt like the world slowed down for us. The tension lingered as his eyes gazed at me. It felt like no one was around at this moment. I tried to act innocent and nonchalant. But I could see the faint smirk coming from his lips. He’s being photographed by the media and paparazzi around him, but his eyes stayed glued to my spot. I raised my eyebrows and winked at him. We have to keep it private. Or the world will keep us apart.
“The famous Filipina-British model, and the sexiest Ellaina Amalia Ramirez, is now divorced with her spouse, Noah Wilson.” I could hear the news echoing clearly as I ate my morning salad. I rolled my eyes. It has been a month of me trying hard to hide it from anyone, yet the media is so nosy. I guess this is the harsh truth of having to be a model. They would pry into my business, even into my personal life. I sighed, grabbed my bag, put my hair in a low bun, and made my clean makeup look. I looked at the clock and saw it was past 7 in the morning. Our call time for the shoot is 7:30 and I have to be early. I would be late if I won’t move something now. I made sure I was presentable with my black crop tops and black leather pants, I put on my leather jacket and helmet before locking my condo unit with my keys. I took the elevator down and decided to use my motorcycle as it is rush hour now. The street would be too busy if I used my purple Chevrolet car. I'd better hurry be
He had a bit of an accent while speaking English. I furrowed my eyebrows, “Later?” “I am in the Philippines also now for a shoot.” He answered, and I gulped. Whatever it is, this must not be true, “No, thank you. I’m assuming this is a fraud. So nope, I’m not going to be up for your shenanigans.” The voice chuckled, “Uhm... this is filmed internationally. You’re humiliating me.” I just had a bad day and this is pushing me off. internationally? So who cares? This must still be a scam! “Do you not watch a television show? Turn your television on and go to channel 12.” I did as he said, and soon enough, I saw that there really was a reality show! Oh goodness. My career… There was a woman and a man host there, and seated in front of them was a handsome man. The camera zoomed in and the man winked. I gulped. He looked cute, and I turned him down. He looked tall, dark, and handsome. He has a sharp jaw and chocolate hair and clean-cut hair jelled in a neat style. I shook
Manager Smith had been looking at me, taping at his foot as he pointed his eyeglasses at me. “So?” I looked at him innocently, “What?” He breathed, “Ellaina! Go prepare for that party!” I averted my eyes to the ground, not listening to him, “I have a shoot.” It's a good thing I can get along well with Manager Smith because this is the nicest he can be and he can only be like that around me. “You don’t have a shoot scheduled. I rescheduled it.” He said, “And I covered up the rumors about yesterday. The least you can do is pay me back by attending that party.” He said, grabbing a fitted backless dress from my closet, “And Ellaina? Rock that party.” Give it to Manager Smith for being both her mom and her best friend. He’s too serious for his job but also protective as her best friend. Staring at him for a long time, I sighed, “Alright. I’ll show up but just for you.” His serious face instantly turned into a grin as he brightened up, “You can flirt with him.” I stuck my to
“Okay, nice! You are doing great, sweetie. You are on fire today!” said my photographer, Liam, as I posed for him. I added more emotion and perfected my poses all these years. Of course, I would do great. Plus I have to make it up for the past few hectic days. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my job, and I’m taking it seriously. We were shooting on one of the famous beaches in the province that we rented. I’m in my fifth bikini now, and I lay on the sand, showing my signature fierce look. “Okay, take a rest,” said Manager Smith as he offered a water bottle to me, “Ellaina dear, I want to tell you something. You see, this is a sponsored magazine cover. You will have a partner in the car shoot.” I nodded, “Who?” Manager Smith wasn’t able to finish as a loud roaring of an engine came from the sea, and I turned to see a man jetskiing. The man stopped and hopped into the sand. I froze when I saw his face. Ajax. Him again. He removed his sunglasses and asked me, “Hi Ellaina,
Ajax held out his hand for me, “Then, now that you agreed, let me have your number.”I paused, “Huh? You can ask for that from my manager.”Ajax glanced at Manager Smith and chuckled, “Yes, I know. But it would be rude of me to just ask him. I want to personally ask you so you’ll be informed.”Wow, rude? He’s only thought of being considerate now when he just got in her life like a tornado? I just shrugged, “Alright.”I then typed in his phone number, and he had a lopsided grin on his face.“Then I’ll call you later.” He winked, waving goodbye.I could feel someone looking at me and I looked at Manager Smith who was smirking at me now.I raised my eyebrows, and he came closer to me.“I can see that smile. Have you seen your photos together? You look cute.” I blinked. Give it to Manager Smith for being the most random manager. He’s now shipping me with anyone.“I gotta go now. I’ll go home now.” He nodded and I went to grab my belongings, and my model shoot bag before walking to the
Good morning. What a great day today is. I woke up with the sun rising, and I couldn't help but think of you. P.S. You remind me of the daisy flowers blooming in a sunrise. Your sun I blinked, seeing the message notification on my phone as early as the morning. I reread it, knowing damn well who it was without seeing the number. Who else would dare to text me something as cliche as this? No one. No one but Ajax. I do not know him well enough, but based on his approaches to me, he would say this. I do not know him well enough, but based on his approaches to me, he would say this. I didn't bother to reply. I prepared for my day, took a shower, and prepared my favorite avocado bread toast and my morning milkshake. Have to stay healthy to maintain my body after all. What does a girl have to do to keep her job and not become jobless? I grabbed my earphones and listened to my favorite playlist with my workout pairs, water bottle, and a bag filled with a change of clothes.
