It didn't take long for word for Stephan and Sophia's engagement to become the number one on the trending list. There were exclusive interviews, articles with all the juicy bits and all the exaggerated madness happening over the next few days.During this time, one of the top fashion magazines, Atlantic Magazine, reached out to Sophia to feature on the cover page of the next edition while wearing the designs and cosmetics of a prestige designer brand."Oh, I can't wait to see what I'm going to wear!" A young model could barely contain her excitement as she sat before a large mirror. "I heard Vintage is responsible for all the attire we'll be wearing today!"The make-up room was crowded with models and celebrities who were specially invited to be a part of the shoot that day. A flurry o
Over the next few days Ariana remained busy. She barely had time to think about the disastrous lunch adventure with the Navarro CEO. Stepping out of the cap with piping hot coffee in one hand, her handbag on the crook of her arm, her other hand holding onto a black hard cover book and her phone while she spoke into her Bluetooth, she walked to the entrance of her company."No, I'm not home today...You told me get a job so I'm going to get one...Dad!...Alright fine. Love you...Yes, I'll call later."She ended the call with a playful eye roll. She arrived at the door and with skillful maneuvering, she somehow managed to open it without dropping anything. She was greeted by a cheerful Hannah, who was always punctual since her first day on the job."Good morning, Ms. CEO.""Good morning, Hannah."Watching her boss head towards the elevator, Hannah looked like she was caught in a daze. She had heard countless rumors about the ill tempered and bad mouthe
When Elliot arrived on the second floor, Carmelo began to dread his decision to pester Elliot. The Italian Don had an abnormally calm composure and an indifferent expression on his face. Carmelo knew that look well enough; it was the calm before a thunderstorm.She's right. She's not my girlfriend. Elliot fumed silently to himself, his footsteps sounding harsher and louder than usual on the wooden flooring.In his twenty-three years of living and his socialite status, Elliot was no stranger to beautiful women and over the years he had quite a bit of experience with them. However, he had never been interested in any of them to the point of wanting to engage in anything that would be intimate and emotionally invested.Ariana was different to him.
After sorting some things out at her company on Tuesday morning, Ariana took a cab to her father's office. She stepped out of the public cab dressed in professional attire suitable for an executive meeting. Her make-up was neutral and her curly hair was left to hand down her back and soft curls.The wind was quite strong that day and not wanting to mess up her hair, she hurried into the lobby.She swiped her keycard at the front desk before walking over to the private elevator. When she walked to her father's office she found it empty. Her father's personal assistant, Frederick, notified her that he was waiting for her in the private conference room downstairs."Is he in a meeting?" Ariana dropped her Birkin on the couch of her father's office and turned towards the man who had stood at her father's side loyally."He didn't say," Frederick shook his head. "He just told me to inform you of his whereabouts when you arrived.""Thanks Fred."Lea
After eating, the girls decided to make their final run through the mall before parting ways. Quinn had volunteered for her driver to drop Ariana home after she dropped out at the studio but Ariana declined. She planned to hail a cab back to her apartment. Taking out her phone to check her messages while she walked, her eyes bulged when she saw the amount of missed calls from her father.Her father had been in Syndey for an extra week since the banquet so his calls signaled that he had just landed in Melbourne and his personal security had informed him of the headlines he had missed.Oh how peachy!Ariana gulped nervously. While her father wasn't as strict as most, he definitely put the 'protect' in overprotective! Ariana didn't usually walk around with her bodyguards
If Ariana had known that Quinn and Talon had joined heads to scheme and pair her with the ruthless King Pin, she would have found every excuse under the sun to avoid meeting Quinn the next day.Standing in her bathroom, she quickly replied to Quinn's iMessage before dropping her phone on a counter a distance away from her. She pulled her silky black Chanel bathrobe tighter around her before reaching for her makeup bag. She had an important meeting that morning so she had to ensure she looked good, even though she wasn't one for wearing much make-up.Fifteen minutes later, she gave her face a satisfying once over before packing everything back into her makeup bag. Leaving her bathroom, she ventured back into her closet to choose something to wear. She settled on a black long-sleeved turtle neck dress which stopped at her knees. She paired it with a red mid-thigh boyfriend blazer, leaving her hair down and slipping her feet into a pair of strapped black heels.On her way out the closet,
