The glass doors slid open silently as Ava stepped inside. For a brief moment she stopped and her eyes slowly took in the space before her.

The fashion house was nothing short of breathtaking. High ceilings stretched endlessly above, adorned with crystal chandeliers that shimmered like frozen stars. The polished marble floors reflected every movement, every light, every presence. Mannequins were dressed in exquisite, custom-made pieces as they stood like royalty along the walls with each outfit

    Finally…after weeks of sleepless nights and hardwork, the day was finally here. It was like a dream come true for Ava, who would believe that within the timeframe of months she'd be launching her international fashion line with top notch celebrities as her models.The venue had been transformed to something that can only be found in a fairytale. Ivory and gold started from the entrance to the far wall, the kind of arrangement that looked effortless only because the person behind it had spent months making sure it would and she had a supportive husband who outdid himself. The runway cut through the centre of the space like a spine, lit from above with a warmth that made every colour richer and every silhouette cleaner. Round tables dressed in white linen sat either side and the chairs were already filling with the kind of guests that would make the news of her launching reach different countries all round the world.Backstage, Ava stood in front of the mirror and took a long breath."

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Turned down.

    [KnightTech Empire]The building made a statement of itself…with walls made of glass and steel arranged aesthetically. The lobby was wide and high-ceilinged, the reception desk curved while the staffs moved with the brisk certainty of people who knew exactly what they were there for.April walked in like it wasn't her first time. She was dressed simply, dark trousers and a fitted top with her hair pulled back. She had spent the morning not overthinking it and to just be herself, missing a day of school for this particular confrontation."I'm here to see Lucas Knight," she told the receptionist.The girl behind the desk looked up with a polished smile that played pleasantly on her cheeks, "Do you have an appointment?""No.""Ooh…Mr. Knight is currently unavailable. If you'd like to leave your…""Tell him April Sterling is here," April said without raising her voice. "He'll know who I am."After a minute of staying silent, the receptionist decided to help her so she left while April ste

    The best place Lauren could think of taking April was to her apartment. April refused to go back home, she also didn't want to go to Ava's mansion. April sat in the middle of the long couch with both hands wrapped around the mug Lauren had pressed into them without asking what she wanted. The mug was warm and that small specific comfort was doing more for her than she wanted to admit.She had stopped crying somewhere between the car ride and when they got to the front door. Not because she felt better…just because the body had its limits and hers had been reached.Lauren sat across from her. She had changed out of her jacket and was nursing her own mug, watching April with the patient attention of someone who was choosing their words very carefully."Do you want to tell me what happened in there?" Lauren asked but April looked into the coffee instead."April.""I'm fine.""You were crying in the middle of the street," Lauren said quietly."I said I'm fine, Lauren."Lauren exhaled sof

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Betrayed By Lucas.

    April stood in her room, her face gloomy as she check her calendar for the umpteenth time.“Six days…”she muttered as her mind went to Lucas. She had tried to reach him for six days…Six days of unanswered texts, calls that rang out and messages that turned blue without reply. Six days of watching the typing indicator appear and disappear and appear again without a single word arriving like he was contemplating if he should reply her or not. Six days of convincing herself she wasn't going to do what she was about to do.Then she found out his resignation from Silver Crest Academy had been finalized and no explanation was given to the school administration. He was simply no longer a substitute teacher. His name had been removed from the system quietly.“Mr Lucas is quite a strange man” April remembered Gavin made that statement. That was the last straw…she's going to find out what his problem is and why it looked like he was crawling into a shell. “Yeah…” she muttered and made her

    [Cole Group building]Amber sat comfortably on a seat while she patiently waited for Damien to attend to her, with the way she wore a thick frown over her face, you could tell that the boardroom was not her favorite place in the building.It smelled of old money and older decisions made her father, Grandfather Jonathan but that wasn't the reason she came. Few minutes later, Adrian showed up and he sat opposite her direction.Adrian looked better than he had in the hospital. Physically, at least the colour was back in his face and he was dressed properly. But his eyes still carried that particular flatness of someone who was moving through days without quite being present in them."You're not listening," Amber said after talking for a while and noticing Adrian just stared at her blank."I'm listening." He muttered "Then repeat what I said."Adrian exhaled, "You want me to leave.""I want you to go," she corrected. "There's a difference….leaving sounds like running but going sounds lik

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   So Different.

    The days that followed were quite eventful. April went to war with everyone who loved her and it was really surprising.She refused Ava's calls first…after contemplating if she should block the contact, she just decided not to answer her calls. The phone would ring and April would stare at the screen until it stopped, then set the phone face down like that ended anything.Then she refused Lauren's, which was more difficult because Lauren didn't stop after the second try. That was because April moved out of her apartment to her parents mansion. She called and called until April had to pick up and reply, "I don't want to talk right now" before ending the call.April was polite to her mother though and Mrs Sterling tried not to be harsh on her daughter but to calmly understand what was going on. Neither Ava, April nor Lauren told her exactly what the problem was so it was difficult to intervene.Mr Sterling wasn't pleased with the dispute between his daughters but if there was anything h

    Damien stood on the balcony of his high-rise apartment, gazing at the horizon as if the city below could give him answers, Ava was seriously busy, you could say she was practically living at the fashion house and he didn't want to disturb her…now when he knew the result of all her hardwork, it was

    The weather gave signs of impending rain but people still went about their daily business like it was just a bluff till the rain started without warning. It wasn’t gentle, not the kind that whispered against glass like a lullaby. It came down hard, loud, unapologetic, drenching the city in seconds.

    [Adrian's mansion]Livia stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the city lights below. The night felt heavier than usual and quite suffocating…she watched as cars moved like tiny flickers of life, and she envied the few people she saw laughing and living freely.She never imagined getting

    The hall erupted into chaos…there were whispers, shouts and cameras flashing endlessly but April heard none of it as she ran straight off the stage into Ava’s arms.“You’re alive…” she sobbed and said softly.Ava held her tightly, “I’m here… I’m okay…”April cried like a child…she sniffed and hiccu
