Jessica’s voice rasped in my ears like sandpaper, her bitter rant echoing off the cold stone walls of the courtyard. I didn't say a single word back to her. Arguing with someone so consumed by jealousy wasn't worth another second of our time or energy.I reached out, wrapped my fingers firmly around Lori’s hand, and pulled her smoothly behind me.

LoriHe had lied to my face. I knew it, and he knew that I knew.I quickly grabbed my clothes and changed into them before reaching for the door handle, eager to escape the stifling atmosphere, when the sharp ring of my cell phone shattered the quiet.My heart instantly jumped into my throat.I reached into my handbag and pulled out the vibrating device. Flashing brightly across the illuminated screen, in bold letters, was the contact name: Richard Rashford.A sudden wave of anxiety flushed through my veins, making my breath catch in my chest. Not right now. Please, God, not right now. My fingers froze over the screen, my mind racing as a million worst case scenarios flooded my thoughts. If I declined the call, Lucas would take it as a definitive sign of guilt. If I answered, who knew what Richard’s smooth, intimate voice might drop over the speaker?I felt Lucas move closer behind me.Sl

LoriI stirred lazily, shifting against the crisp sheets as the lingering, sweet ache in my muscles reminded me of last night. For the first time in weeks, my mind felt light. I reached my arm across the mattress, expecting to feel the solid, reassuring heat of Lucas’s chest beside me, but my hand met only cool, empty linen.I blinked my eyes open, pushing myself up on one elbow.The faint, muffled sound of a low voice echoed from behind the cracked door of the en-suite bathroom. I sat up, pulling the bedsheet securely around my bare chest, my brow pulling into a subtle frown as I listened closely.Lucas was on the phone.“I don’t think I’m ready to talk about it right now,” he was muttering into the receiver, his voice hushed, and strained with a sharp edge of agitation. He was pacing back and forth his heavy footsteps echoing softly. A sudden chill cut right through the lingering warmth in my veins. My pulse

LucasJessica’s voice rasped in my ears like sandpaper, her bitter rant echoing off the cold stone walls of the courtyard. I didn't say a single word back to her. Arguing with someone so consumed by jealousy wasn't worth another second of our time or energy.I reached out, wrapped my fingers firmly around Lori’s hand, and pulled her smoothly behind me. With my other arm, I grabbed her plaque, keeping my body positioned as a solid barrier between Lori and Jessica’s venomous glare.“Lori, talk to me!” Jessica yelled, taking a frantic step forward, her face contorting in frustration as she saw me completely tuning her out. “Lucas? Are you seriously just going to let her walk all over you again after everything—”I ignored her completely. I didn't even grant her a single glance over my shoulder. Keeping a steady, brisk pace, I led Lori straight through the side archway toward the parking lot, the sound of Jessica’s high heels clicking ang

LoriMy heart began slamming against my chest while the accusation hung in the cool evening air like a cloud of pure poison. The plaque in my hands felt leaden, its weight pulling down on my exhausted arms as I stared back into Lucas’s bloodshot, tormented eyes.“Is any of it true, Lori?” he repeated, his voice cracking on my name, the sound laced with a desperate agony that tore right through me.“No!” I shouted, the word exploding from my throat before my brain could even register the impulse. I slammed the plaque onto the flat edge of the stone fountain behind me, the loud thud echoing across the quiet courtyard. “No, Lucas! None of it is true! How could you even stand there and ask me something like that? How could you believe a word of what those jealous girls were whispering?!”“Because of the way he was looking at you!” Lucas yelled back, taking an aggressive step forward, his chest heaving as tears glistened in his dark eyes.

Lori Jessica just stood there, casually swaying on her heels as she took another slow, deliberate sip from her glass. Her expression remained calm, a tight, polished smile fixed across her lips that didn't reach her eyes.“Jessica, I asked you a simple question,” I demanded, taking a firm step into her space. The heavy wooden plaque in my hands suddenly felt like an unbearable weight. “Where is Lucas? I saw him sitting right next to you in the spectator gallery.”Jessica let out a soft, airy laugh, waving her hand dismissively. “Oh, you know Lucas, Lori. He’s... well, he’s just wandering around somewhere outside, I suppose. The crowd in here was getting a bit too intense for him.”My eyes narrowed into slits. The hair on the back of my neck stood up as every defensive instinct I possessed flared to life. She was stalling. The way her eyes darted briefly toward the main glass exit doors before snapping back to my face was a dead give

LoriAt the center of the judging table, Richard Rashford slowly adjusted his microphone. His tailored charcoal suit caught the harsh glare of the overhead lights, making him look towering and utterly in control.A heavy silence fell over the packed venue.“After hours of intense deliberation,” Richard’s smooth, resonant voice boomed through the high definition speakers, filling every corner of the room, “the panel has reached a unanimous verdict. The grand prize winner of this year’s National High Fashion Design Initiative... taking home the full three year international contract and flagship studio sponsorship...”I squeezed my eyes shut, holding my breath so hard my ribs hurt. My heart hammered against my sternum like a trapped bird.“...is Vivian Georgette.”A loud roar erupted from the audience. Gasps, wild cheers, and thunderous applause shattered the quiet. The applause slowly subsided as Richard held up a single hand, calling the crowd back to order. The room settled into a
