“One, two, three… One, two, three…” Diana muttered as she paced in front of the runway strip in her studio. Her voice echoed, sharp and exact, as the models tried to follow her rhythm.

They stood in line, dressed in a vibrant array of cultural-inspired designs one model wore a flowing crimson robe with gold embroidery stitched in bold tribal patterns, while another donned a sleek fusion of a kimono and modern gown, the sleeves trailing like silk waterfalls.

A third model, dressed in a bright Ankara-print dress with exaggerated shoulder cuts and beads lining the neckline, struggled slightly in her heels.

Diana stopped.

“No, no, no what is that walk? You’re not heading to church on a Sunday,” she barked. “You’re carrying legacy, history, elegance!”

She stepped onto the runway herself, brushing past the confused model. “Watch.”

In one powerful stride, she straightened her back, let her chin lift ever so slightly, and glided forward like the runway was built for her.

    Coming down the stairs, Rafeal shook his head when he saw Ruby waiting exactly where she said she would be. He smiled.“What are you doing here at eleven in my house, you crazy girl?” Rafael said as he reached the bottom of the stairs.Ruby grinned, then suddenly ran up to him, throwing her arms around his neck.“I just landed,” she said, pulling back to look at him. “And I had to come see my favorite person in the whole world before anybody else.”Rafael smirked, hugging her back. “Whenever you say ‘favorite,’ something always follows. What do you want this time?”Ruby laughed. “Of course, you know me too well,” she teased as they started walking down the corridor. “I’ll tell you soon.”“Sure,” Rafael said, still smiling as they walked together…Just as Ruby whispered something to him, a sudden crash echoed from upstairs..a sound like glass shattering. Both their heads snapped up toward the noise. Then another crash followed, louder than the first.“Damn it,” Rafael muttered, breakin

    Uncle Robert had also made it to the hospital to see how things were going with Thersa. As he walked down the hallway, he saw Rafael sitting quietly outside the ICU room.“Rafael,” Uncle Robert called softly.Rafael lifted his head, saw him, and slowly stood up… Uncle Robert came closer and asked, "How is Thersa doing?"…“She’s stable,” Rafael replied quietly.Uncle Robert nodded and looked toward the ICU door where Thersa lay. After a moment, he turned back to Rafael. “I’ve seen the news,” he said firmly “You finally decided to step out from the Mondragon Corp after so many years.”Rafael didn’t say anything, just nodded again.“What could be your reason?” Uncle Robert asked. “You never agreed to step down before, not once in all these years. What changed?”“Nothing changed,” Rafael said simply. “I just decided to step out. I gave up my shares.”Uncle Robert looked at him closely. He knew Rafael too well to believe that answer. “I see,” he said slowly. “It must be some deal you coul

    “What the hell!”Rafael’s figure rushed in, pulling Celeste out of the way. He grabbed the oxygen tube and hurriedly tried to place it back on Thersa’s nose.Celeste stumbled back, her heart exploding within her chest as she watched Rafael’s trembling hands fight to steady themselves. The machine screamed louder, the beeps turning frantic, echoing through the room.Finally, Rafael secured the tube, his breath heavy as the line on the monitor began to flicker back to life. The moment the sound steadied, he turned to Celeste.His eyes were burning with a rage deeper than anything Celeste had ever seen in him…Her eyes darted around as fear washed over her.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Rafael muttered, his voice shaking with rage and fear. His eyes locked on her as if he were staring at a stranger.Celeste burned inside, swallowing hard. “I... I didn’t know what to do,” she stammered. “She started shaking, and the machine was beeping so fast…I panicked and couldn't do anything.”Her

    Diego Mondragon hurried into the house, still feeling pleased with himself. His bodyguards followed closely behind. As he opened the door, his mother, Mom Camilla, turned sharply at him with a stern gaze. "What nonsense am I doing here, Alejandro?" she asked, her voice laced with anger.Diego’s smirk didn’t fade. He stepped inside, motioning for the guards to leave and they quietly closed the door behind them.Mom Camilla’s glare deepened at she Iook at him “What’s gotten into you? Why did you go to the hospital? Why donate your blood? Why didn’t you just leave her to die?”Diego slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bandage on his arm. “You wouldn’t understand, Mom. I’m a businessman,” he said smoothly, settling heavily into the sofa..Mom Camilla marched closer, disbelief tightening her face. “I never thought I’d see this day,” she said coldly. “I’d rather die than watch my son stoop so low. Why spit on the ground and lick it clean.”Diego gave a soft chuckle and stood up, wal

    After nearly an hour inside, a nurse rushed out from the emergency room, her face etched with panic. "We need blood! We need blood!" she exclaimed, looking frantically left and right. Rafael and Emery rushed to her side at once."How is she?" he asked, his words tumbling out..The nurse's response was breathless, "She's bleeding out. We need type O negative, immediately!"Rafael stretched out his hands, "Take mine!"“Okay, sir, then come with me,” the nurse said but as they hurried down the hall, she turned back at him. “Are you O-negative?”“I’m not,” he said, breath trembling. “But take it anyway. Please. Take it anyway!”The nurse shook her head, "It wouldn't work that way. It would do more harm than good, sir."Emery stepped forward, offering to be checked as a potential match. The nurse nodded and they hurried to the lab. Minutes passed, and Emily returned with a disappointed expression."I'm so sorry, I wasn't a match," she said, approaching Rafael, who was anxiously waiting for

    Thersa stood in the craft room of Emery & Co, running her fingers across a roll of soft fabric laid neatly on the long table. The light from the wide windows made the colours stand out, rich and inviting.Mrs. Emery, the owner herself, stood beside her with a tape measure slung around her neck. “This shade has been our best-seller lately,” she said warmly, pulling the fabric closer. “But I think it could use a fresher cut..something that feels bold, but still wearable.”Thersa smiled faintly, brushing her hand over the texture again. “You’re right. The material has character already. It just needs the right shape to make it come alive.” She reached for the mannequin at the corner and began pinning the fabric against it.“You see here?” Thersa pointed as she wrapped it across the bust. “If we drop the waistline a little lower, it softens the figure without losing structure.”Mrs. Emery’s eyes lit up. “Exactly! That’s what I’ve been trying to explain to my designers for months. You see
