“Have a seat,” Alvin said at last, gesturing faintly toward the chair across from him.

“You shouldn’t have abandoned your work at the Atelier. I’m aware things are quiet for you right now—Anthony isn’t around but that’s exactly why you should be careful.”

A sigh slipped out of him as he rubbed his temples, weariness etched into every line of his face.

“What happens when he suddenly returns, and I have no idea how to present you?” His g

    A sharp knock shattered the silence.Then another.Relentless. Demanding.Anthony’s jaw tightened, irritation flaring like a struck match. “Who the hell—” he muttered, already striding toward the door. He yanked it open with force.Guinevere stood there, breath slightly uneven, eyes blazing.“What the hell is wrong with you?” she snapped, pushing past him without waiting for permission. “Has your brain completely fried because you’re chasing after her?”“Guin—”“The internet is practically swearing at you right now,” she cut in, spinning to face him. “Do you have any idea what you’re risking? Your reputation? Your business? And for what—her?”“Shut up and listen.”The sharpness in his voice sliced through the room.Silence fell.Heavy. Suffocating.Anthony dragged a hand through his hair, frustration bleeding into every movement. “She was going to leave,” he said, his voice rough, unsteady. “She was going to leave me again.”Guinevere’s expression flickered.“I messed up,” he continue

    Her gaze dropped slowly to his fingers wrapped around her wrist.“Let go.”In an instant, he did as if he had just realized what he’d done.“Cleo, please… just a few minutes.”A pause.The air between them tightened.“…Okay.”“Please. Come with me.”—The gym doors closed behind them.Each step down the corridor grew heavier for them both, the air tightening around them with every passing moment. Staff moved around them, offering polite greetings and practiced smiles, their voices brushing past in fragments but none of it registered. The silence clung to them, suffocating, as though the entire corridor had narrowed into the weight of their shared footsteps.Anthony’s office.The door clicked shut.Too loud.“Please, sit,” he said, gesturing toward the couch as he lowered himself onto it.The couch gave a faint, tired creak beneath her weight.“So,” she said flatly, her voice stripped of warmth, “why do you want to see me?”Anthony inhaled.Hold it.“I’ll be honest… I’m sorry for the w

    Katie shook her head quickly. “No… not really.” She exhaled, forcing a faint smile. “You two love each other so much… that’s enough.”Then her expression turned serious. She reached out and took Cleopatra’s hands firmly.“Promise me something,” Katie said softly. “Don’t let Anthony get to you.”Cleopatra met her gaze, steady and unwavering.“I promise.”***The white activewear sets clung to Cleopatra, Sabrina, Helen, and Guinevere like a second skin, sculpting every curve with flawless precision. They stood beside Xander and Culkin, who were dressed in sleek black activewear, the contrast sharp and striking.Under the studio lights, their bodies looked impossibly refined, lean lines, toned silhouettes, effortless allure. Each of them held their pose with quiet confidence, radiating a heat that didn’t need exaggeration.The camera shutter clicked rapidly, capturing every angle, every shift of posture. They didn’t just stand there; they owned the frame, exuding a polished, magnetic pr

    Cleopatra tilted her head slightly.“Fan?”Cornell’s smile deepened not forced, but strangely sincere.“Yes,” he said. “Not just a fan. I’d like to be more than that… I want to be your friend. Please, will you permit me?”A brief silence.Then Cleopatra smiled faintly.“Your phone.”Cornell’s eyes lit up. He quickly handed it over.Anthony’s jaw tightened so hard it looked like it might crack. His fist clenched at his side, gaze darkening as it locked onto Cornell like a warning.But Cornell didn’t look away.He met Anthony’s stare head-on still smiling.Unbothered.Unshaken.Almost challenging.“Here,” Cleopatra said, handing the phone back.“Thank you,” Cornell replied softly. “I promise I won’t bother you with messages.”“Just keep to your word,” she said lightly.“I will.”Cornell turned.And walked away.Just as he passed, a man in a face cap was entering the building.Bryan’s fingers moved swiftly across his screen, tapping with precise control as he worked.[Bryan: She just met

    “Hey man… are you sure you’re not playing a dangerous game?”Simon’s voice crackled through the phone, low and uneasy.“No,” Calvin replied without hesitation.A pause stretched between them.“And what if something happens between them?” Simon pressed.Calvin’s tone didn’t waver. “Then I’ll break up with her. Completely. I’ll have nothing to do with her ever again.”Simon exhaled sharply. “The guy you planted there… won’t Anthony notice him? You know how sharp he is.”“Bryan is smart,” Calvin said coolly. “He’ll handle it neatly. He’s already managed to tail them all the way to Nadna River.”Simon’s voice spiked. “What? That’s wicked!”“Yeah,” Calvin replied, almost indifferent. “He even sent me pictures, Anthony was about to kiss her. But something in the bushes made a noise and interrupted them.”“…Man,” Simon muttered, stunned. “I don’t even know what to say. Just… brace yourself if it doesn’t go the way you’re hoping.”“It’s fine,” Calvin said quietly. “I’ll accept my fate.”A b

    The gym studio buzzed softly under bright, unforgiving lights every line, every movement exposed. The photographer lowered the camera for a moment, eyes sharp as they studied the group.“Alright—hold it. Xander, shift your weight to your left leg… yeah, like that. Relax your shoulders, but keep the tension in your arms. Good. Don’t try too hard, you already look strong.”Xander adjusted, exhaling slightly as his posture settled into something effortless yet controlled.“Sabrina,” the photographer continued, stepping closer, “lean back against the bench but not fully. I want that balance, like you could move at any second. Chin up… eyes here.” A small pause. “Perfect. That confidence? Keep it.”Sabrina tilted her head just enough, her expression sharpening into something quietly daring.“Guinevere—straighten a little more. You’re power, not softness.” A hand gesture. “Rest your fingers on the dumbbell, don’t grip it. Yes… like you don’t need to prove anything.”Guinevere adjusted with

    Cleopatra stepped out of the taxi, slowly lifting her head as her breath caught at the sight of the towering INK Model skyscraper before her. Gleaming beneath the sky, its exotic design and flawless structure seemed to embody both elegance and ambition. For a moment, she simply stood there, mesmeri

    Guinevere staggered to her feet, her chest heaving as ragged breaths tore in and out of her lungs. “Why are you just standing there?!” she barked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Go catch her!”Cleopatra moved back again, but loose rocks tumbled into the sea below, forcing her to steady herself immed

    Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin. Each movement tore a gasp from her throat, exhaustion crushing her with every inch she gained.She bit back the urge to cry out, forcing herself forward through sheer will

    “Why am I tied up? Why can’t I see anything? How do I get this blindfold off? Where… where the hell am I?” Cleopatra’s voice cracked, raw and ragged, her panic clawing its way up her throat.
