"Miss Veena! We have another problem." Madam Trancy announced. Veena's eyes turned cold. Clearly irritated that another issue has come forth. Whoever is doing this they are trying to prevent Luxuria from ever marking it's first show. "Speak.""Most of the invitations we sent were rejected. The guests said they have their eyes on Fontana's new fashion line. Fontana's fashion show starts earlier than ours and it clashes to Luxuria's schedule. I'm afraid no one would watch." Madam Trancy explained. Veena bit her lip. She knew it. Ashley has made her move and that is to push her competitor down. Her dear sister doesn't know yet that she is the one designing Luxuria. Ashley is just brainless and chose the wrong enemy. How brave of her to go against the Rossenov's. Is Ashley expecting Stephen's family to save her? Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan didn't even like Ashley and favored over her. "Continue with the preparations. The show must go on no matter how much guests will come in tonight. Don't
The audience were in awe of the amazing designs of Luxuria. The cloth materials are high quality and were used with care.They can tell that it was sewed perfectly as if a magician chanted magic words on them. The colors complimented each other well. No one ever thought of combining brown, gold and green. The color of Nature. Another model walked in with a monarch butterfly-inspired gown. The skirt reached above the knee with the butterfly's wings as the skirt. The combination of black and yellow-orange gradient colors perfected the gown. Madam Deverux gasped as the third dress graced the runway. A glittered, black, mermaid gown with azure flame patterns and a sweetheart neckline. Everyone cheered as more incredible designs was shown by Luxuria's masterpiece. They loved the azure flame gown the most and wanting to order one right away. Veena smiled from behind the back stage. The show was a success! She was able to find runway models in time because of Lois' help. Without him none
Veena grumbled and rolled over to her side. Her arm flailed on the bed but instead of the soft bed she felt something hard and rough instead. She opened her eyes and was greeted with Lois' peaceful sleeping face. He looks so serene in his sleep compared to the cold CEO that everyone knew. She couldn't understand of her own actions last night. She came to him out of her own will. It felt like this marriage is turning into something else. For a man with elegant tastes he ate greasy burgers with her without complaining. Drinking cheap and delicious wine, eat chinese takeout and do anything an average person would do. She couldn't understand what was running in his mind He didn't even care when she played under the rain one time. He joined her and danced with the wild pattering of the rain. These made her heart jolt in a weird way as if he's into her... She shook her head. No, there is still the deal between them. She can't assume things right away. He wants her company and all
"Is the job done? Good. The money will be sent to you today." Ashley said with a smile on her lips. She ended the call the moment Stephen entered the room. "Who are you talking to?" he asked."Just some men who will deliver the materials for my next fashion line." Ashley grinned and kissed him. She frowned when Stephen backed away from her touch. "I have some things to do. There'll be a business party tonight. I'll pick you up." he said then left before Ashley could say anything else.She stomped on her foot in annoyance. For some reason Stephen is slowly slipping away from her hands. He is yet to propose to her and tell their relationship in public. She'll have to deal with that later after the goods are delivered. She hired some men to break in to Luxuria's office to gain information then ordered them to chase down a delivery truck from Princewood Fabrica. This time she'll make sure that her next fashion line will be successful. Veena barged into the Rossenov's office and bum
"Miss Ashley...w-we lost the supplies! We we're taking a break and when we came back the back of the truck got broke in!" the man reasoned out.Ashley's fists clenched and gritted her teeth. These useless imbeciles! She paid so much money for them and came back empty handed!"All of you get out of my face!" Ashley screamed out. The men cowered in fear and left the warehouse. Ashley sighed and kicked the boxes next to her. Who else could get those supplies? She made sure that she didn't leave a single trace of the thievery she staged. Her eyes widened and a single possibility popped into her mind. Veena woke up from her slumber and noticed that the sky is already dark. "How long did I sleep?" she croaked. "Two hours. I didn't wake you up. You were extremely tired." Lois said. He offered her another glass of water."Thanks, hubby." she said without thinking. She paused for a minute then drank the water, avoiding his eyes. Lois chuckled and rubbed her head. Turning her hair into a
"Well, well, well...who do we have here?" Veena grinned with a sarcastic voice. Ashley clenched her teeth and moved closer to Stephen. "W-We are here to eat dinner too!" While the women wearing glaring at each other, the men did the same. The Sullivan and Rossenov families are one of the wealthiest families in Geneva City. Their rivalry is still going on for years with no end to the hatred between families. "Veena...why are you with the Rossenovs?" says Stephen. She tilted her head and gave him a slow smile. "Me and Lois are business partners now.""How could you? Can't you see that he is my enemy? He is a dangerous man, Veena. You'd better stay away from him!" Stephen's burst of anger surprised Ashley."You may be the eldest son of the Sullivan family, but you have no class. You can't just throw an accusation on me without prior proof. Plus, you are disturbing other diners here with your outburst." Lois said calmly. Stephen looked around and clenched his teeth. He was causing a
This business party was formed by Ivan Monterey, a business tycoon who owns half of the transportation industry. His shipping lines are top-class and sought after by different business due to it's high security and ships the products on time. Veena assumed that his daughter is someone Emmon tried to set up Lois with. Well too bad Lois is already taken. She'd rather not share something that's already been used. The media were waiting outside the venue and the guards blocked their paths from moving further. There were also some fans waiting for their favorite stars. A car arrived and came out Ashley and Stephen. The cameras flashed immediately. They are Geneva City's most powerful couple. Stephen came from the top ten wealthiest families and has a net worth over 100 billion dollars. While Ashley is the CEO of Fontana, the top fashion brand and the pioneer of fashion design. "When are you both getting married?" "Are there any plans for a wedding?" Those were the questions thrown
Lois' eyes was tense as he looked around the room. He's been looking for Veena for fifteen minutes now. "Lois...do you want to dance with me?" says Erika. He ignored the brat and walked around the ballroom looking frantically for his wife. He approached Tricia with a worried look on his face. "Have you seen, Veena?" he said. "No? But she did took a phone call earlier and had to excuse herself." Tricia replied. "She went that way, dear." Bea pointed to the corner of the room. Lois thanked the women and rushed right away to the direction Bea pointed. He hoped nothing wrong happened to her. There are a lot of enemies in this room, especially Ashley and Stephen. He motioned for Abby and Felix to join him. "Any news?" "None. We already checked the rooms in the second floor. They are all empty." says Felix. "My sincerest apologies, Mr. Rossenov. If only I kept my eyes on madam, then this wouldn't have happened." "Hm. Expect a deduction of salary, Abby. Make sure this won't
