Later that evening.

Lara is eating an instant noodle for dinner while she's watching something on her mobile phone. She's actually watching Amanda Montserrat's interview for a popular talk show for businessman and businesswomen...

"So, tell us Amanda. When did you start being in a cosmetic business?" the talkshow host asks Amanda, who looks gorgeous and classy with her overall look...

"Well, ever since I was a teenage girl, I am already fascinated with make up and many other things that can make a girl pretty. That's why I've decided to take a Business Management course at a University to know the in and outs of running a business. After graduating, I decided to work as a normal employee at my father's airline company for many years, so that I can save some capital for the business that I want to establish. I was able to save enough money to start Etoile Cosmetics company, and the rest is history." Amanda told the host her success story, while looking so confident and at ease.

"I wish I got her brains, beauty and money..." Lara wondered aloud.

Lara decided to watch another news snippet about Amanda. She clicked a video which has the title: The Engagement of a Hotel Magnate Emperor and a Beauty Empress: Emmett Albreicht and Amanda Montserrat Interview right after the engagement proposal.

"Congratulations for being engaged, Mr. Albreicht and Miss Montserrat! Is the wedding going to be held this year?" the reporter smilingly asked the newly-engaged couple.

Amanda and Emmett looked at each other, with wide smiles on their faces. Then, Emmett decided to speak first.

"Well, we haven't talked about the wedding details yet, but once we're ready, we're going to let you know the date for our big and special day..." Emmett made a promise.

It was Amanda's turn to speak next.

"You know, I just want to savour the moment of being engaged before we could start with the wedding plans. And just like what Emmett said, we'll let you guys know when is the wedding." she reassures the media.

Lara watched few more videos about Amanda and Emmett, until she decided to stop because she realized that her instant noodles have become cold and soggy. She's been to focused on Amanda that she forgot about her dinner.

Anyway, she's not hungry anymore so she just decided to leave the noodles on the table.

She then started taking a shower and brushing her teeth. Afterwards, she went to her bed to hit the sack and call it a day.

But Lara couldn't sleep right away because the videos of Amanda and Emmett keeps on replaying on her mind. She knows that millions of people will agree to the fact that Emmett Albreicht and Amanda Montserrat is perfect for each other, and their romantic partnership is a match made in heaven. Both are good-looking, not to mention, equally rich and famous.

And she can feel tbe huge gap between her and Amanda. Her life is in contrast to Amanda's fairytale-like life.

She doesn't have a family of her own because she grew up in an orphanage without even knowing her father and mother. She doesn't even know if she has a brother and sister...

Her life is just an endless circle, and she feels like she's living like a ghost.

She wanted to have a family that she can call her own. She wanted to be a wife to a hardworking, rich, kind and loyal husband, and she wants to be a mother of twins. She wants to live in a big mansion and live her life to the fullest without worrying anything about money. She wants to be beautiful, rich and famous.

Lara will do anything and everything just to be in Amanda's shoes even just for one day...

===============================

AMANDA MONTSERRAT

Amanda smilingly glanced at the small paper bag that she's carrying. Inside the paper bag is the latest model of Patek Philippe watch and it's worth thousands of dollars. It's her present for her beloved father, who is celebrating his 60th birthday today.

And before his father's grand 60th birthday party begins, she wants to be the very first one to greet him and give him his special birthday gift...

She knocked at her father's home office door. A few seconds later, she heard his voice from the inside.

"Come in!"

Amanda went inside the room, while smiling. She immediately walked towards her father and gave her a big, bear hug.

"Happy Birthday, Daddy!" she happily greeted her father.

"Thank you so much, sweetheart. You look so beautiful, my dear daughter. I'm sure you'll be the center of attention at the party tonight." said Mr. Charles Montserrat, while looking at his one and only daughter with so much pride and joy.

"And you're dashing as ever, Daddy. That's why Mommy is still in love with you after all these years. Anyway, you'll be more handsome like a movie star back in the Golden Era once you wear my gift for you..." excitedly announced. She gave her gift to her father.

The old man's smile widened when he saw the Patek Philippe watch and he obviously likes it.

"Wow! This is the latest product of Patek Philippe! This is amazing! I finally have something new to add to my watch collection. Thank you so much, sweetheart."

Amanda took the watch from her father, and put it on his left wrist.

"You're already 60 years old and you're not getting any younger, Dad. You should take a holiday leave from the company and go on an European tour with Mommy. That has been your long-time dream, right?" Amanda suddenly relayed.

The old man lets out a deep sigh after he heard his daughter's remark.

"Well, you're right. It's been our dream eversince we got married. But I just can't easily leave the company. I have to work because we have many employees who relies on me."

"Well, you don't have to worry anymore, Dad. Once Emmett and I are married, he will be able to run the company." Amanda reassures her father.

    "And I'm taking note on that as well." Kael murmured, in an amused manner. "This might be a stupid question, sweetheart, but please, I want you to answer this... Did you ever wished that I should go on for a cosmetic surgery to remove this birthmark on my face?" Ellysse uddenly asked. "That thought never occured to me at all, Ellysse. You are perfect as you are, and I fell inlove with you just the way you are. I would never change anything about you." Kael instantly answered. "Wow, that's so sweet. I think I'm falling more inlove with you." Ellysse teasingly responded. "And why did you suddenly asked that question? Are you planning to do it?" Kael curiously asks again. "It did enter my mind, because I want you to have a gorgeous-looking wife that you could show off to your friends. And I don't want them to look down on you." Ellysse shared her thoughts.
