9pm. Glitters Event.
"Amazing, you all should give it up for these wonderful models." The guest speaker said as he hailed the models who had never stopped slaying on different dresses that night.
Lily was worried sick inside, but she still had to look as bright and as cheerful as ever as eighty percent of the eyes in the hall was only her.
Slaying, she bounced as she got to the center of the stage on high heels and poised for the cameras in different ways.
Under a large applause, she smoothly cat walked out of the hall. That was the last walk for that night.
Getting into her room, she tried to pull off the tight dress on her.
"Hold on Lily, I am here!" Her manager said, rushing to help her undress.
"Thanks Anita!" she said, feeling grateful.
"You really don't have to thank me all the time. By the way, you were awesome tonight. Just as always." Anita praised.
"Exactly and that's more reason I have to thank you always. Thank you! You made this possible." Lily said, staring deeply into Anita's eyes.
"That's by the way. Why do you look sad somehow?" Anita asked as she noticed Lily's usual bright eyes didn't glitter as it always does.
"I'm worried about Thelma. She was supposed to be among us this night, but she wasn't and I have no idea why."
Anita: "..."
Anita didn't know what to say about it. She never cared about Thelma so all of that was definitely not her business.
"I think I should go check on her. Something may be wrong you know." she suggested.
Putting on her regular dress, she took her bag and worked out of the event following the back door.
Anita followed behind when she was done and quickly rushed to the front driver seat and started the car.
The car stopped at Thelma's simple door. Coming down, she rushed out of the vehicle to check up on her.
On getting to the door, she didn't see any sign that Thelma would be inside. Giving up, she turned to leave, but on a second step, she heard voices.
Lily then walked to the window by the side of the house gently and peeped.
On seeing what was going on inside, she froze.
The room lights were on but on every other place, it was dark. If she probably hadn't heard that sound, she probably would never have moved to the side of the house.
Lily couldn't breath for a moment. She needed explanation of what was going on. Watching them, tears streamed down her face.
"Liam, give me more!"
"Thelma, we should pause, Lily may come looking for you."
"I don't care about that bitch. Didn't you say you love me or do you love her now?" Thelma said.
"Hell no, you know it's only you I love. Come here!" he then said.
Lily held her chest. It felt like her heart would jump out of it. Covering her mouth with her other hand, she bent and sat on the Sandy floor, stranded.
Anita could not make out what was going on there, stepping down from the car she ran to Lily.
When she got there, her eyes caught the two couples making out. Like she wasn't surprised. She took some pictures, bent down and picked up Lily.
Anita gently sat Lily in the front passenger seat and drove her to her house. Packing her car at the garage, she then turned to speak with Lily.
"Lily..."
"There's really nothing to say. We will see tomorrow. Have a good night." Lily then said before she came down from the vehicle.
"I'll help you in!" Anita offered and quickly came down and assisted Lily to her room.
Laying on her bed, "Lily, this is not the end of the road. I believe there are better things ahead." tapping her on her shoulders, she left.
Lily still couldn't believe her sight anymore as everything played out over and over again.
She then curled up on her bed with a plan to start fresh the next day.
In tears, she dozed off.
The next day Lily work up brighter than ever. Promising herself a better life, she had her wash up and drove to Atlantis restaurant to have her breakfast there.
Immediately she got to the restaurant, her phone rang.
"Hello!"
"Hi Lily! Where are you?" Anita's worried tone came through.
"Atlantis. Can you come over?"
"I'm almost there."
"it's good you are already there."
"Okay. I'll order some food for us." Hanging up the phone, she placed her car well and walked into the luxurious restaurant.
Lily was on a pure white short dress when she cat walked into the restaurant with her thin figure, unknowingly gathering so much attention.
Master Chris was having a business meeting with his important associates when Lily walked in. Stuck, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Lily walked to a corner and sat down as a waitress walked up to her.
"What will you like to have ma'am? This is the menu of the day." she said, hanging the menu over to Lily.
Lily quickly picked the dishes that would be enough for her and Anita. After a few minutes, Anita walked in.
"Lily, look who's over there." Anita then said when she noticed how Master Chris could not take his eyes off her.
"I don't need that right now and you know it." Lily responded, waving that aside.
Master Chris was mesmerized as he watched Lily picked up her food bit by bit. She looked so clean and elegant.
Her black hair curled all the way to her waist, making her look like a royal queen of a kingdom. Her height was a big cherry on top as she had the best height an American model should.
Turning to his assistant who was sitting by his side, "I need every single information about that young woman."
"Yes master!"
Master Chris then turned to his business partners and focused on what he was doing earlier.
"What would you be doing today?" Anita asked."Not sure yet but definitely not going to that agency." Lily responded, sipping her wine gracefully."You have an event to attend tonight. It's a couples event, you and Liam are to be there because you both got an invite. Would you like to attend or?" Anita asked."Sure I will, but not with Liam.""What would you do then? You know what this means.""I will go alone, I don't care what happens after that." Lily said."Okay, I will get you prepared."Soon, night came by. Anita and Lily had a driver drove them to the venue. Anita then decided to walk on the red carpet with her.Union Gala had already started by then as everywhere glittered with lights.Celebrities from all angles attended the event with their dates and husbands, rocking the best outfits. The colour of the day was red, so everyone had red on them making the environment shining brightly.As the walked the red carpet one after another, the media took every single detail they coul
In the office of the CEO of Luke Modelling Agency.Liam was pacing all over his office in anger when he heard a knock on his office door."Come in!" he said, and sat down on his chair.Opening the door, Lily walked in."Good morning!" she said as she walked in and sat down on the chair across."There is nothing good about this morning Lily." he shunned.Shouldn't I be the one saying that? Lily thought as she raised her eye brows.Before she could say anything, Liam took a few newspapers from the top of his table and then at her harshly.Picking them up, "what are these?" she asked, clearly oblivious to what was going on."Look at them yourself and see what your ignorance has caused us." he said, glaring at her.Lily picked up the newspapers and what appeared to her were mean headlines. They were speculations of her and Liam breaking up. Opening them, she saw that her fans were not playing at all.So many cruel threats were being thrown at Liam.Smiling from within, she felt satisfied.
Assistant Ray was already at the entrance of the estate waiting for Anita to arrive so he would take her in.The place was not a place a stranger could easily walk into.When Anita got to the gate, Assistant Ray detected her. He had seen her once, so he could still vividly remember what she looked like even though it was already late at night.Opening the car door, he entered and asked her to drive in. They drove all the way to the main door from the gate as Anita wondered what kind of estate she was in.She looked mesmerized, yet worried.It was like a distance from the gate to the main villa itself."Drop here!" Assistant Ray said. She then stopped and parked her car right."Please where is she?" Anita asked worriedly.She didn't care if she had fallen into a bad hand or a good hand, she just needed to see Lily and be sure she was fine."She's inside ma'am! Please go in." Assistant Ray permitted as he admired Anita for being so loyal to her own.Anita ran into the luxurious building
Ummm... Yes, I was!""Come in." he then said and walked back into the study room.He had seen her patrolling and guessed she was looking for him.Walking into the study room, she tried to look at his face once but couldn't."I don't bite." Master Chris then said, looking into her eyes."I want to thank you for saving my life. I don't know what would have become of me if you weren't there last night. Thank you so much master Chris." she said, genuinely feeling grateful.Master couldn't stop looking at her as he was carried away by her beauty.How could someone be this beautiful?"If you are that grateful, why don't you marry me?" he asked.Lily froze.Marry him?Lily felt like she would cough out blood at that moment. Marriage wasn't something she was interested in going into at that moment.Like knowing what she was thinking, "I never meant to make things hard for you. I have an offer. Can you be my wife for one year for an exchange of one billion dollars?" he asked politely.Lily bec
Lily: "My personal life has been pretty much nonexistent you know."Miss Cross: "Are you trying to say your work life takes like almost every part of your life?"Lily: "I won't really say that..."Miss Cross: "ok ok..."Lily: "I guess I have always been the reason. Now, I have ignited my long time buried selflove and now, I think I am back on track."The whole crowd applauded her as she spoke.Miss Cross: "I love your confidence."Lily: "Thanks!"Miss Cross: "could we also switch that?"The audience laughedLily: laughed out so loud.The audience laughed even more.Miss Cross: "So let's move into one of the reasons for this special interview with you."Lily: "Yeah!" she answered smiling, but deep down, she wanted to leave so badly. Whatever it was, she was going to make sure Liam finished what he had started.Miss Cross: she then displayed a video of Lily on the red carpet independently with her manager. "Someone is missing in this tape." looking straight into Lily's eyes in a teasing
"Like seriously Liam, do you now see there are more reasons we should blame Lily for this? For goodness sake, that girl is becoming something else. I can't even imagine the thing that gave her the audacity.""That is enough Thelma.""Enough? Really Liam? Just tell me you still love her." Thelma blew hot.Pissed, she placed one of her fingers on her lips and walked into the room close to the office.Something then flashed in her mind.Why was Lily really doing this? Did she know about I and her fiance's relationship? She asked herself.But then, it wasn't possible to know.She was so surprised that Lily had never bothered to check up on her like she had always done.She knew Lily was alive, but she also didn't wish to call her.She has never liked Lily and the only reason she had gotten close to her was because she noticed she had a crush on Liam.When she realised her best friend's fiance was all she wanted, she deployed means to seduce him and luckily for her, he was a loose man, so
Waking up instantly, she looked up and was surprised."This is the height of it." she spat immediately. Liam dust feel like answering her. Immediately, he stood up and walked into the bathroom, freshened up and moved into his office for the day's work.Thelma was in the room all alone, sitting down and going through a magazine she would shoot for in a few days time when her phone rang.When she saw that it was her manager calling, she picked it up without hesitation."Hey!" she greeted."Hi Thelma! Hope you slept well?""And how does that matter right now? Tell me what's going on.""I had just call to check up on you and to let you know that Lily has not called to check up on you as usual. Do you intend to call and speak with her instead?""Forget her then. I don't care." Thelma replied and ended the call immediately. It was already 10am that morning when Anita appeared at Olympic Estate to pick up her artist.When she got to the door, she spotted Anita going through Pink Magazine pr
"I think I will need to check it out when I get home. I'm sure it's so interesting to look at." Lily responded and laid her head on the chair as she closed her eyes."Yea, you should"Not long after, they got to Olympic Estate. "You should have dinner with me. Don't try to escape." Lily said, like reading Anita's thoughts. They then went in. Master Chris had been home for over forty minutes, so when they walked in, they saw him serving different kinds of food on the dining table."Welcome wifey!" he greeted as he looked at Lily. Lily froze.Coming back to her senses, "Good evening Master Chris.""It's hubby!" Master Chris corrected as he looked her eyeball to eyeball."Good evening Master!" Anita greeted them and sat down as she watched the couple like they were in a movie.Lily blushed."I will be right back." she then said to Anita and ran upstairs to keep her important items in her room.After that, she came down and walked into the dining room."Come on now!" she called on Anita
