MasukI once thought that it would be quite impossible for me to write up to 50,000 words. After all, this is my first story.
But here we are! I'm just really happy that the book got this far. And hopefully, it will be completed soon. Wish me luck! Thank you to everyone who read and supported the story! Shout out to Onyx Hikari, Dolly Clavel, Silvia Cisneros, Nash Husinhasan, and visitor6317 for supporting and commenting!

So you better hope your designs will justify my beauty!" âActually," Nora said apologetically, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, I would be moving the date of the fashion show two months from now." âOh, shut up!â Rachel hissed as Nora chuckled mischievously."Do you need a male model, Nora?â Dalton offered. "I think I'm also free on that date." âEw, no.â Nora quickly replied, looking repulsed. "My sales might drop drastically if people see you wearing my clothes." Anna and Rachel chuckled.âDo you see how awful your sister is, Dalton?" Rachel joked.âI think I might have to agree with you on that one, Rachel," Dalton smirked."Say what you want, that still wouldn't change the fact that the value of my designs would decrease if they're ever to be seen on you." âReally? Because I think it would be the opposite,â Dalton contradicted."Oh shut up," Nora s
âNo. I stand firm in that.âThe other reporters shifted agitatedly in their seats. Even their lawyer seemed at a loss. This girl really loves digging her own grave, and dragging her colleagues to the bottom with her.Even the jury thought that the reporter was out of line. They could just feel Gordon Delgado's fury emanating all the way from Hawaii. âMay we ask what makes you so sure about your claim?" The judge inquired. âDo you have evidence?" Romea faltered for a bit, but answered, âEveryone knows the story. The late Mr. Guevarra and Mrs. Delgado had relations. Everyone knows that the Delgados had always wanted to infiltrate the Guevarras' massive pool of resources."Anna's mother failed, so she had to do the job instead. Now, we all know that she succeeded in that department. And she's eliminating every competition she has, before Dalton casts her aside.âAnna could not believe what she was hearing. Even Rachel, Dalton, Nora and Dianne who were on the stands could only stare at
"Nothing like that, Uncle Moore,â Anna replied. âBut as you already know, various reporters had been harassing me for the past months.ââYes,â Atty. Moore nodded. âI looked it up, and I found out that your father and Dalton already took action. The reporters stopped so I had to cancel my lawsuit.âAnna stared at him. She never realized that it was Dalton who intervened after that past incident. She knew her father took action after the first Khea case, but that didn't stop the reporters. They still harassed her until Sabrina appeared.But when they stopped, she thought that it had just been because they lost interest. Dalton pulling strings actually makes more sense now that she thinks about it.âWhy?â he asked. âDid the media companies come after you because of this?ââNo,no,â Anna quickly answered. âNot the companies, the reporters did. Apparently, they got laid off, and theyâre blaming me for it.ââI see. Did they try harming you?ââNot physically,â Anna said.âthey know they'd imm
Most of the reporters were taken aback with how intense Anna asked the question.But one of the female reporters continued. âYou Delgado women really do want the Guevarras for yourself, huh?" Anna took a few steps towards her, levelling her with an intense gaze.âFirst, your mom, now you. You just do everything without a care on how it will affect others, don't you?" the reporter continued, but her voice was getting smaller with every step Anna took towards herThe other reporters urged their colleague to stop.âRomea, that's enough,â they whispered at her, knowing very well that they indeed crossed a line when they dragged Anna's dead mom to the conversation.The Delgados won't really let them off this time. They seem very concerned with the late Mrs. Delgado's reputation, after all.Not only were they in trouble, but the Delgados and Guevarras might even target their former agencies as well.It would be Lake Media Company all over again.By then, they would be blacklisted from all
Anna just finished meeting with a former client whose case has also been reopened. Her client was scratching her head wondering what made the other party repursue the case. Ms. Anna had already warped it up beautifully, and both parties agreed that settling the matter privately was the best course of action. So, why are they suddenly claiming that they had been robbed?It just didn't make sense.As Anna headed to her car, she heard a voice calling out to her. âHey Anna, wait up!âShe stopped walking to let Rachel catch up to her. The girl was still wearing her high heels and Jeave outfit, looking like she just stepped out of a magazine.âAre you done with your shoot?â she asked as soon as Rachel caught up with her.âYup. My manager was just suggesting that we head to this restaurant for dinner with the rest of the team when I saw you.ââWell, why didn't you go with them?â Anna asked. âYou know, this is exactly why most people say that you have a bad attitude.âRachel shrugged. âIâm wa
Dalton froze. The venom in Annaâs voice told him that she wasn't reacting as what Mark had promised him. âDalton,â Anna repeated slowly. âWhatâs wrong with my drafts?âHe swallowed, not knowing what to tell her. Should he just come clean and tell her that it was his way of flirting with her?No, of course not. She would not take that too lightly. She was already busy as it is, and he promised himself not to bother her until the water was clear again. Dalton almost banged his head on the table. He messed up big time.Anna was still staring at him, waiting for him to speak.He cleared his throat. âIâm sorry,â he said. âI misspoke. I meant to ask what this draft regarding the Burton case is all about. Because as far as I know, their case has already been closed.âAnna let out a sigh, after Dalton spoke. âThe other party is suddenly claiming that they had not been well-informed regarding the settlement. That is why they are getting their lawyer to reopen the case.âShe placed the stac
