"I have a space. It’s a place I own and use for my private events that seats the right people."

I listened carefully.

  • Wanting my best friend’s brother    Chapter 68

    "I have a space. It’s a place I own and use for my private events that seats the right people."I listened carefully."It’s currently unused and it’s large enough for an exhibition and located somewhere your audience can actually reach. If you want it, it’s yours. You know what that means right?"I did, I knew exactly what that meant. Her network was the reason her attendance at the original exhibition had mattered so much. Her circle was the luxury industry's quiet inner ring; the clients, the investors, the names that didn't need to announce themselves because their presence announced itself."I want to back your comeback exhibition," she said. "Not as a client… but as someone who believes the work deserves to be seen."I opened my mouth, closed it then tried again, I wasn’t expecting that. "Mrs. Lawson…""Let me finish."I smiled through the tears beginning to gather in my eyes. "I believe in your work, Linda."I couldn’t speak, I was stunned. My eyes filled."And I don’t want you

    I began designing again. At first, it was hard to get my design inspiration back so I started with only small sketches first, then fabric samples, and then full designs. I started staying late at the studio just to remember why I had started in the first place.Something unexpected happened one afternoon. I was sitting behind my desk, going through some of the new designs Maya had brought me to review, when she walked into the room with her phone in her hand. She looked different, not worried but almost relieved."Lin."I looked up from the tablet in front of me. "What?"She smiled slightly. "You’re trending."My stomach dropped and I immediately put the tablet down. "Again?"Maya laughed softly. "Yes. But this time, it’s a good thing."I stared at her. "What do you mean?"She walked over and placed her phone in front of me. "Just watch."I looked at the screen and there was a video and the name at the top made my heart stop. It showed Anabel Hayes and for a moment, I couldn’t move. M

    By the time we arrived, I barely had the strength to get out of the car.Maya unlocked the door and I walked inside without saying a word. The moment I reached her couch, my legs gave up and I collapsed onto it. Maya dropped the bags beside the door and hurried over."Lin…"I pulled off my sunglasses and stared blankly at the floor. My face felt hot, my chest still hurt and my mind was exhausted. I had spent years dreaming and months preparing for the biggest night of my career. And now I couldn’t even walk into my own workplace without being surrounded by people who wanted to know whether I was a liar.I looked around Maya’s quiet living room. For the first time that day, there were no cameras, no reporters, no notifications demanding an explanation. There was just silence and somehow, that silence hurt more. I swallowed hard as tears slipped down my cheek."Why me?"Maya sat beside me.I covered my face with both hands. "Why did this have to happen to me?"Maya pulled me into her ar

    I had been trying to understand everything as a series of separate things. The timing, the articles, the photographs, the video, the message, and the overall damage. I had been trying to find the logic in each move. But it wasn't separate, it had never been separate. It was one thing, from beginning to end, executed with the kind of patience and precision that only came from someone who had decided, quietly and completely, that they were willing to burn everything down. It wasn’t about exposing me or telling the truth. And it wasn’t even really about Ethan, not in the way I had initially assumed. This whole thing was about making sure I had nothing left and I sat with that realization for a long moment.Maya was still staring at my phone, equally stunned. The room was so quiet that I could hear the faint ticking of the clock across the room."Ethan was a victim in this too," I said quietly almost to myself.And it was the final piece settling into place. Because Chloe hadn’t just atta

    "Hello, Mrs. Lawson.""Linda." Her voice was calm which somehow made me feel worse."Yes, ma’am."There was a brief silence. "I’ve seen what happened."I lowered my eyes. "Mrs. Lawson, I…""I’m not calling for an explanation."I stopped."I’m calling because I expected better from you."My throat tightened. She didn’t say anything else for a moment."But whatever happened, whatever is true and whatever isn’t… your name is attached to it now. So is your brand."I swallowed. "I’m sorry ma’am…""Don’t apologize to me yet…"My eyes dropped to the coffee sitting untouched on the table."Your exhibition has been affected and I’m sure people who have worked with you for months are suddenly questioning your integrity. And I’m not here to condemn you but you have to do something about this…" She paused. "I don’t want to be attached to this.""I understand.""Good."There was another pause."Fix it, Linda."My eyes burned as I heard those words."I will."The call ended before I could speak fur

    I frowned. "We signed the agreement months ago.""I know.""And we’re sincerely sorry."The call ended before I could ask another question. I stared at my phone in disbelief because that didn’t make any sense. I got an email notification from them and opened it immediately to see if they would further explain why but there was no specific reason. I was still reading the mail when Maya walked into my office."I just got an email," she said straddling the edge of my desk.I looked up. "So did I."She already knew what it meant. "So… they’re pulling out."I nodded."But why?" She shook her head angrily."They didn’t say..." I leaned back in my chair. "Maybe budget… Corporate restructuring… I don’t know. It could be anything."I was guessing now even though none of it felt convincing. Maya remained unusually quiet."This doesn’t make sense… I’ll see if I can find out more because there has to be more," she finally said."Please do that and let me know... Thank you."Maya left and I rubbed

    I reached for a glass of wine from a passing server and took a long sip, to give my hands something to do and to calm my nerves down."So… you came, " a voice said softly behind me.I turned slightly and saw Ethan standing next to me. My heart raced. I opened my mouth to respond, but the words woul

    I left work early to come home and clear my head. I just finished dinner and was about to upload some pictures of my new collections to my fashion page.It was around 8 pm when someone knocked on my apartment door. I wasn't expecting anyone. Maya had gone home hours ago, and Anabel was busy with th

    Anabel showed up at my apartment later that evening, long after I had changed out of my dress and washed off my makeup. I was just about to make myself a cup of tea when I heard her familiar knock, four quick taps and two slow ones—our signature knock since college. I froze for a second. I wasn’t e

  • Wanting my best friend’s brother    Chapter 10

    I almost didn't go.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my phone. I was already dressed in a beautiful emerald green dress that hugged my body perfectly. My makeup was flawless, my hair was styled, and I looked stunning. But inside, I felt like I was falling apart. I was having cold feet.I did
