The decision to go to Darcy's party was impulsive and unreasonable, yet I found myself step into my car, and wave goodbye to Finn.“You know I can drive you.”"I'm sure I can handle myself, Finn.""Okay..." He replied, even though his face disagreed.I slammed the door shut and drove off, watching him on the rearview mirror until I was out of the compound. I pulled up to Darcy's new estate and I couldn’t help but be struck by the sheer sophistication and elegance exuding from the modern architecture of the building."The boy is lavishing" I murmured to myself, marveling at the contemporary design of the house- so like Darcy.My thoughts dwindled to how much Rosé would have admired this sight and my heart sank, but then again, I wanted to believe that she wasn’t interested in material things."Maybe you should've treated her better.." a voice whispered behind me, raising goosebumps on my skin.I turned around, and found myself face to face with Darcy, grinning brightly at me."Darcy,

Navy's POVDarcy barged into my office, dressed in my latest brand designs- A luxurious suit collection from shirt to socks, the fact that he paired the three-piece suit with a street cross-bag from my store and still found a way to be astounding made the difference between him and other models."Its been a hell of a day, Navy!" He yawned, plonking onto my visitor's sofa."Modeling is like breathing to you, Darcy. Stop whining." I returned, and he chuckled wryly, pulling out his phone from his cross bag."How did the shoot go?" I asked, watching his unusually reserved demeanor."It was good. I posted a few pictures...people are going crazy for the brand. How do you come up with these things?" He asked, with his head still buried on the phone. "Well, you know, it’s kind of spontaneous. Can't really explain how." I replied, fixating my gaze in him. Darcy appeared restless, and it made me uneasy seeing this side of him."Are you expecting a call?" I asked, unable to ignore his squirms.

NAVY'S POVI watched from the parking lot as she made her way out of Varde, stopping outside the gate with her phone pressed to her ear. Finn pulled the car door open and I stepped in. I was relieved that the evening had ended. For most people it was a fun night, for me, however, I was drowning in inexplicable emotions of anger and jealousy and anxiety. Scratch that- I wasn’t just myself.My eyes uncontrollably followed her around, torturing me with the sceneries of her budding affection with Darcy. Finn slammed the driver's door shut and turned towards me, grinning mischievously."What?!" I growled."Varde is the most tweeted thing tonight" he replied, squealing excitedly.The corners of my lips lifted slightly in a sad smile, and I looked away quickly, "No questions tonight, Finn" I said, knowing exactly what was coming after the brief silence between us.Without a word, he turned the car engine to life and drove off.My heart dropped to my stomach as we drove past Rosé

NAVY’s POVMy phone rang tirelessly from the distance I had tossed it to. I had no intentions of speaking to anyone, hence I remained unmoved, but the caller wouldn’t stop. Irritated by such persistence, I reluctantly stretched out to it and fetched my phone.I sat up immediately, seeing the caller ID displayed on my screen.“Papà?” I answered, as I placed the phone to my ear.“Oh, Navidad!” Papa exclaimed, “I’m so sorry to bother you on a weekend, but I need you to go meet someone on my behalf.”“No, no, no Papà!” I groaned.“Why not, Navy? It’s important, I…” “Listen up!” A cold, stern voice replaced my father’s friendly, apologetic voice.“Hello mother” I grumbled.“Navy, your father can not afford to lose face with the US Embassy. The meeting was suddenly scheduled in Washington and he can not make it on time even if he started coming now.” My stepmother said.“They’re sending a representative, so it’s equally safe for us to send you.”“We’ll send you an addre

NAVY’s POV The guard held the door open for Cecilia and I and we stepped out to the exit. My eyes immediately caught a couple at the parking lot with lips glued together- they were kissing.“That’s Darcy!” Cecilia squealed, pointing at them with one hand and giggling excitedly.What seemed like a cute moment to her and probably everyone around was more of a heart wrenching scene to me.I held my breath for a moment, just to settle my bubbling anger underneath.Yet the harder I tried, the harder it was. I was too angry to control myself.“Are you okay?” Cecilia asked with a smug on her face. I nodded indifferently, “Yes, why?”“It seems like there is something between you two?” Cecilia said, looking at me like she knew something I didn’t, and that smug on her face agitated me even more and I looked away.“You… Navy, you are not really good at hiding your feelings” she said.I clenched my teeth in annoyance, refusing to look at her, I was filled with distaste.“We
