GAVIN POV
I can't help but smile. I knew that Bree could do great in modeling. I don't know if she was aware of it, but she's very natural. The photographer just said a few instructions and can quickly get it, not to mention that the camera really loves her.
After the first set of their shoot, I immediately asked her about her first modeling experience.
"Hey, Bree, so how's the experience?" I asked her.
She smiled at me. "I honestly enjoyed it, but I’m not sure if what I was doing earlier was right. I feel like a robot."
I chuckled. As expected, she was not even aware that she did great earlier.
"You did great, Bree. You're a natural model. Everything Allan asked you to do was right. I am sure that they will have a hard time choosing the best picture they will use for the ads because all your shots were beautiful."
I saw her blushed. “Stop flattering me, Gav!”
"No, I'm not trying to flatter you. Would you like to consider joining our agency? I'm sure that you will be a hit in this field." I asked her.
I am not trying to flatter her. She was a treasure in the modeling industry. During my time in the industry, I knew the model’s potential because I know what the clients are looking for in a model. And with Bree, I am confident to say that she has all the things they are looking for.
"I don't think so." She said.
I frowned. "Why?"
She sighed. "I'm not sure if I will fit in that field."
I smiled. I pinched her nose. "Silly. You will surely fit. I will take care of you. I will make you on top."
"Make me on top?" She asked.
I nodded then smile.
"Am I be finally worthy if I will be on top?" She softly said.
But I don't think that she was talking to me. It seems like she was telling that to herself.
I furrowed. "What do you mean?"
I saw the shock on her face. I was right. She was telling it to herself.
"What are you saying?"
"You are asking yourself about being worthy," I said.
I saw her bit her lower lips.
“Nothing.” Then she avoided my gaze.
I became even more curious, but I don’t want to push her to tell it to me. I don’t want her to be uncomfortable with me.
"You are worthy, Bree, with just yourself. Don't ever think that you need to do or achieved things just to be worthy because you are already worthy." I said seriously.
I want to know who made Bree felt that way. That person was blind for not seeing how worthy Bree was.
Was she referring to Seb? And speaking of Seb, what was he doing here with Sam. Sam was looking for something or someone while Seb just followed her. Sam's smile immediately widened when she saw me.
"Gav!" She called me.
"Hi, Sam, what brought you two here?" I said as they went closer to us.
I saw Seb looking at Bree. From what I see right now, I'm very sure that he still has a feeling for Bree. But why can’t he fight for her? Is that the reason why Bree thinks that she's not worthy? Because Seb can't fight for her?
"Gav, I need to go to Laura first to change the outfit." She said, excusing herself.
I nodded at her while smiling.
"Change outfit?" Sam asked when Bree left.
I nodded. "She is our new model now because one of our models did not make it, so we've decided that Bree will replace her."
I saw shocked in Seb's eyes. "She's also a model?"
I smirked. "Soon."
"What do you mean?" Sam said, a bit confused.
"She's perfect in this field. She's a natural model. And I'm planning to take her on top." I said proudly.
"You think she's that good, huh?" Sam said.
I grin. "100%."
After a few minutes, Bree went out. And beautiful was an understatement to describe how beautiful she was with her outfit. She looks like a Goddess. I can also see the amazement of the people in this place. She's actually only wearing a simple long white dress with a long slit. And her make-up complimented her outfit as well.
I can also see Seb stunned by Bree. I saw them staring at each other. I do not know, but I felt pain in my heart. Whether I admit it or not, it was obvious to them that they both still love each other. But Bree doesn't deserve a guy like him. A guy who can't fight for her.

AUBREE POV
I was surprised to see Seb with his fiancée in the studio. I felt the pain in my heart when they went closer to us. They look like a perfect couple. Gav is right. Sam seems so pure and innocent maybe if Sam is not a good person, I might consider fighting for Seb.
I could feel my tears is about to fall, so I made an excuse to Gav to avoid it from happening. Until now, I am still hurt. No matter how hard I tried to accept that Seb and I were done, I still can't accept it.
Until now, I still cry every time I think that everything I work so hard for just went to waste. Seb is the reason why I wanted to succeed in my career. His family. I wanted to be worthy of him.
When I saw myself in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. Can I be a model? Can I really make it on top?
"Ms. Bree, are you ready? Let's start." Laura said.
"I'm ready," I said, then smiled at her.
When I came out, Seb immediately caught my eye. He was looking at me. I wanted to run to him and hug him, but I know that I need to control myself from doing that. I don't want to make a scene. I could see in his eyes that he still loved me.
Do I see it right? Do you still love me? Is being on top will make me worth fighting for?
SEB POV When Bree came out of the dressing room, I was stunned. Gorgeous was an understatement on her looks today. She was stunningly gorgeous. As I watched her, I noticed that she was staring at me. I want to hug her and say how much I miss and love her, but I know I can't... not yet. I still love her, from then until now. I know, and I feel that she still loves me. I could see it in her eyes. She was the only one I will treasure forever. I knew that I unintentionally hurt her because I engaged with Sam, but this was my only way to see and be with her again. Even against my will, I went to America back then. I was scared when my mommy war
AUBREE's POV After accepting Gav's offer, he immediately signed me a contract under their Agency. I will be having a two-year contract with their Agency. When I saw their plans for me, I was overwhelmed with the loaded photoshoots they gave me. I decided to resign from my job because I definitely can't handle my job correctly with this schedule. Of course, it was not easy for them to approve my resignation. They gave me a reasonable offer, but I am sure of my decision. And no matter how big their offer was, they will not be able to change my decision. Some might think that I made a stupid decision, but I don’t care because I am still doing this for the same reason, I want to be on top, I want to be fit with Seb. I want him to see my worth and fight
AUBREE'S POV It's been weeks since Gav and I broke up. The news about our breakup went too fast. The good thing was Gav was cool about it. And like what we have agreed before, we will tell them that I was the one who initiates the breakup. My modeling career is a good reason to make the separation more believable. Gav was very genuine with his words. After our breakup, he never missed sending me flowers and giving me his time and attention. I never thought that he could be a sweet person, and not to mention his effort for the past weeks. He doesn’t seem like Mr. Korea I knew way back in high school, the happy-go-lucky and very popular with girls. I couldn't help but smile every time I think about his efforts and the sweet things he has done for me.
SEB'S POVI'm trying to get myself busy when my Mom went to my office."Do you know anything about this?" Mommy retorted as she threw a newspaper at me.I took that and looked. It's a news saying that Sam's company is taking Bree as their new face for their traveling agency's latest campaign."What about this?" I asked innocently."Don't make me a fool, Sebastian! Did you ask Sam to do this for you? Why? To get close to that woman?" She retorted."Mom, I don't have anything to do with Sam's family business. They are the ones who decided to choose her as their n
AUBREE'S POVI was so nervous about going inside the restaurant where Seb and I would meet.This is the first time we have talked with just the two of us since he came to the Philippines.I feel a bit scared and excited at the same time. I also know that one of the reasons why he wants to see me is because of my previous encounter with her mother. I don’t know if Seb is still the same as before. Will he apologize for all the things that his mom had said to me, and then he will comfort me, and he will say how much he loves me. Or maybe his mom said something about me that made him angry with me.I’m going crazy fro
AUBREE'S POV"You and Gavin were what?" Seb asked, a bit confused. I close my eyes. I'm sorry, Gavin, but I need to do this. It's about time Seb finds out the truth. This may be our last chance, and I don't want to lose it again."Gavin and I were fake," I said again.He frowned. You can see the confusion in his eyes. I heaved a heavy sighed. "That night, Gavin got panic because Sam is about to start her 'Guilty Drama'-""Sam's guilty what?" He asked, confused again. "'Guilty Drama.'" I repea
GAVIN'S POV"I love you too, Seb, and I miss you more." That is what keeps on replaying in my head over and over again since I got home. I have no idea how I was able to go home.I almost lost myself when I heard those words from Aubree. Those are the words I have long wanted to hear from her.I did hear it, but those words were not for me.I never thought that it hurt so much to be heartbroken. It may sound gay, but she is my first love and my first heartbreak.I was there when she entered the restaurant. I was done with my meeting. I was about to approach he
GAVIN'S POVWhen I knew about their plan, I immediately went to see Sam. What I did to Aubree was not easy. But I know that I have to do it—this time, I want to think of myself. I needed to protect myself and my heart from her. I knew that if I do not avoid her, I will not be able to forget her and move on. This is also my way of letting her be happy with the man she truly loved. I’m sure that Seb can take away the sadness that I brought to Aubree because I am sure that he can replace her sadness with genuine happiness. That’s the power of love, I guess. I admit, my heart broke when I saw her crying and b
