“What?!”

As much as I want to, I can't contain the sudden attack of surprise within me.

After assisting the girls earlier, I went straight to my office to call my friends. And now, we're all face timing each other.

“Yes, Aurella! You heard me right. Now, what are we going to do?”

It must've been God's plan to urge me to call my girls. If I didn't, I wouldn't know that Heide is now out of prison.

“How is that possible? I mean, wasn't she sentenced for like a decade?”

I'm not certain how long she's supposed to be in prison, but I didn't expect her to be out this early. She must've used a huge amount of money to be out.

God. That woman and the power she holds.

“I don't know anything about it too. But yeah, it's like she was sentenced for a decade or more.” Liv's voice is quiet and calm, but I can still sense that we all share the feeling of being afraid.

There's no reason for us to be afraid. After all, Heide is our friend for such a long time. But after what she's done to Conrad, I don'

    “Are you listening?”The moment that I hear Kevin’s voice, I am instantly pulled out of my reverie as I act being attentive to the meeting happening right now.It's about my jewelry brand's expansion in Asia.“Yeah, of course. I'm just trying to think of other possible factors.” I smile to hide the lie.I wasn't listening at all, but he seems to believe me when he nods with a small smile.I hope you're listening, Kevin. Because after this, I'm going to need you to retell me the details 'cause I'm not listening at all.My mind is too occupied with something else, and I know that I should've just rescheduled the meeting, but I'm overly excited about our launch next week.Finally! It took us 6 months of hard work to attempt entering the business borders of Asia. It was a tough patch, but I was persistent to push through. I have a strong good feeling about this and I just can't ignore that. It's going to be good for my brand and for my name.I've been praying for this to happen, and now,

    “Showtime, Ms. Aglauros.”As I prepare myself to grace the runway, I take a deep breath to relax.Anything could go wrong. It's been a while since I walked the runway for a brand—especially a lingerie brand.“3, 2, 1...” I brush off the anxiety and then plaster a sweet yet seductive smile.I start to execute my signature catwalk strut with my feet moving according to the song playing.It's Gimme More by Britney Spears. An all-time favorite by many.The crowd goes wild at the sight of me. Cameras flashing left and right; fans raising their placards with my face on it. I wave at the camera before blowing it a kiss when I reach the end of the runway.The lacy lingerie I'm wearing right now is one of the sets I wore when I did the photoshoot weeks ago. The photoshoot went very well, and my photos boosted the sales of the magazine where my photos were featured. The brand couldn't resist but had me wear the lingerie that stood out the most in the runway because of the photoshoot.And I could

    When I finally got home, I had to convince myself that this night is not only revolving around that awful family dinner.I can do something to change the mood that I'm in right now.Hell, I would even do a photoshoot even if it's already past eleven.Wait... that's it! Photoshoot.Goddamn, I forgot that my manager informed me about a photoshoot today.That could lift me up in an instant. I miss being in a set.With that in mind, I quickly forgot about the family dinner as I fumbled for my phone in my purse.I try to turn it on, but it's unresponsive.“Fuck, it's dead.” I murmur to myself.I walk inside my bedroom to charge my phone and use it while it's still plugged on.When it finally lit up, I wasted no second and dialed my manager’s phone number.“Hey, I know it's late—”“Where were you, darling? I have been calling you since eight.”I couldn't tell if my manager is mad at me or not. But that's not my concern right now.“It doesn't matter. Of course, we're still waiting for you! E

    As I play with my food on the plate, I tell myself that all of this will be over any minute now.Keanu and his father are talking about how peaceful life was in Germany. And Keanu was the one who spent years in Germany, yet Uncle Naveen is the one that has a lot to share with the family.He claims that his son was never a failure like how the public had captured him to be, when he vanished after the cheating allegations spread like wildfire.Among us, Keanu was the only Aglauros in our generation that had married and got divorced after it was proven that he was cheating on his wife with a stripper in Vegas.Now, if it happened to any of us, I know how it'll excite Uncle Naveen to call us a disgrace in every family dinner.Especially if it happened to me.“Keanu certainly missed being here with us. Germany wasn't much of a challenge for him.”I bite my lip to contain my laughter. Wasn't much of a challenge? Before he left he was met with great challenges, yet what did he do? He abandon

    “I’m surprised you’re here.”Lucan greets me with a kiss on my cheek before leading me inside the family’s mansion.“I am too.” I kiss him back on his cheek. “But since I’ve already had enough shame this week, I decided I need to be here because I don’t want to be disowned by my father.”Lucan gives me a disappointed face, “Yeah, I heard that from Trudy too.”As we make our way inside, the maids greet us all smiles and enthusiastic. But I know very well that they’re faking it. I don’t really think that there’s a single maid in here that genuinely shows us that they love to be here and that they love to serve.“I think this is the only time that we’re not complete for the family dinner.”I instantly feel the need to ask Lucan. “What do you mean?”“Well, out of the seven Aglauros brothers, only four are present with their families. The others? They won’t be able to make it.”This just shows that the family is not really fond of Uncle Naveen and his tricks. And who the hell will be fond

    As I step into the doors of my vacation house, I let out a deep breath to help calm myself down.It’s been so long since the last time that I was in here.Hell, I’d even forgotten its existence if only Bryce didn’t kick me out of my penthouse.“Welcome back, Aurella.” I say to myself, before letting my body weigh down on the soft surface of the sofa in the living room.I remember I used to treasure this place so much. But now, it’s just a place for me to stay in when I don’t have anywhere else to go to.This place used to be my safe haven. My father bought it for me as a gift for my tenth birthday, which was very odd because it felt like he wanted me out of our house.I chuckle to myself, “What a stupid, naive girl you were, Unique.”I start to look around as memories of me and my family start to flood my brain. And when I say ‘family’, I meant my parents, me and my brother. I don’t really consider other people wearing our surname as a real family. Except for my cousins, of course. The
