ADELE'S POV No matter how hard I thought of who to call when my car suddenly broke down at the highway, I ended up calling Arsenio. Why? Because he's the only friend I know I wouldn't be inconveniencing at that moment. I couldn't call Lu Cheng out in a weather like this, she have kids to look after. Neither could I call her husband, he's a family man. Lana's pregnant and I can't expect her husband to leave her side on a rainy day because of me. It wouldn't make sense. I called my personal mechanic, he wasn't available at the moment. I couldn't think of anyone else because of the introverted life I've lived since I moved here. My only option turned out to be Arsenio and I'm grateful he was able to come for me. "Thank you Arsenio, I'll make it up to you one day." I said raising my gaze when I felt the car pulled up as I had my eyes closed all through the ride. "It's nothing. I'm glad you called me." He smiled. I took that opportunity to look around and I found the environmen

NARRATIVE "My Rodriguez, it's a pleasure to have you here. Please come with me." The middle aged CEO of the Relish Industries said as he led the way through the gathering crowd towards the reserved VVIP section of the large hall where the Relish Fashion Contest, was holding. Carlo who was on a disguise_as he had dark sunglasses over his eyes and a mask over his nose and mouth, nodded slightly in acknowledgement to the older man while his eyes roamed searchingly, over the already filled up hall. Alvin was right beside him and several security guards escorted them until he got to his seat and they retired slightly at a corner behind him. The moment he was seated in his private VVIP section of the hall, his eyes still scanned around, looking to see if he'd find her. At this moment, Adele and her team were just arriving, Lana and Lu Cheng, her best friends, didn't fail to come too. While they walked in, Adele had to pause and exchange pleasantries severally with some business

NARRATIVE While Adele and her team prep for the next fashion contest in their private dressing room at the sixth floor of the building where the event was holding, Carlo was in a bad mood as he stood at the balcony of the top floor of the building. Immediately after the first round of the fashion contest had ended, he was greatly pleased that her design was selected amongst the winners of the first round and with great joy in his heart, he looked forward to sharing in her joy even though from a distance. While he secretly tailed after her immediately she'd walked out, he watched her exchange congratulatory greetings with several colleagues and was smiling gleefully even as he watched her walk along the hallway of the sixth floor with her team members but his mood turned sour the moment he had seen the handsome Italian guy walk up to her. His facial expression turned even more sour when he heard her praised the other guy and hugged him. He got real hurt instantly, the moment he s

NARRATIVE Mayven smirked in pleasure on seeing the result her appearance at the stage sparked. Yes! She deserved this! She deserved their praise. This was her spot and Adele was sick in the head if she had thought she'll just give it away as easily as that. Sheila must be stupid too if she'd thought she'll continue letting her take all the glory.FLASHBACKMAYVEN'S POV I watch her admire herself on the lengthy mirror, through the peephole on the mahogany door. Sheila how dare you steal my spot?! Even though I hate the bitch that designed this wears, it was my opportunity to come into the limelight and showcase my 'goodness' to all who had eyes to know good stuff.Nope! I let her model all through to the second stage because I initially doubt that the wench's design would be able to make it to the second stage, talk more of the grand finale. Well, this was an opportunity, too good to lose. "Get rid of the CCTV." I said to one of the three guards with me. Well, befor

ADELE'S STANDPOINT I stared at the gold trophy amongst several of my other collections, with a small smile. I did it afterall. I won yet again_even though Mayven almost ruined it for me. For the first time in six years, I felt extremely satisfied with what I did to her. I finally got to have my revenge, how won't I feel great? After getting Carlo's mystery package, I was already feeling edgy and then the bitch had to show up. I'm so pleased at myself with the manner I'd dealt with her. Of course Mayven had successfully ruined the CCTV she could see but what she didn't know was that, there were several other hidden cameras that the company had fixed at almost every aspect of the Hotel. Yes, the building where the event was hosted was one of Relish Industries' famous hotel. But good for me, I had connections with the general manager of the company. So immediately I'd found out what Mayven did from Sheila, it took only a minute call to the general manager and then I had the h
