051 Putting up an act
Tessa's PovI carefully dropped my laptop on the bedside table, turning my gaze to Mara who was so lost in thought while glaring at her phone, she barely even noticed my presence. "You should call him, or perhaps text him," I said, jolting her out of her reverie."What… What are you talking about?" Mara retorts, feigning ignorance. "I'm talking about Dylan, you should reach out to him, with the way you were staring at his number a while ago, it's clear you miss him Mar, just unblock him already" I urged."I don't miss him and I'm not calling him, stop getting silly ideas into my head, plus he's gonna remain blocked" Mara replied firmly. I gazed at her, giving her the "Are you sure about that?" look."Look, all I'm saying is that you shouldn't punish yourself because of me if you like this guy, why don't you unblock him and hear him out, it was Aaron who wronged me and not Dylan, and Dylan is a nice person, trust me" I urged her, trying to convince her but then my phone started ring

052 Small talks
Mara's Pov.I had the urge to unblock Dylan, maybe I wasn't fair to him, maybe I should have picked up his call then and probably hear what he had to say, and maybe I was lying to myself that I was no longer into him.I secretly stalked his page all these years, he hasn't really been posting like he usually does, at least the Dylan I know would always flaunt photos of different women on his page.Could it be he was telling the truth when he said he only had eyes for me?But this wasn't me, I've never been into someone since my ordeal with my past relationships. With what I went through in my last relationship, it was hard to move on from what Andrea did to me, and after that I vowed never to commit to any man, never to be vulnerable to any man, never to take any man seriously again, and I've kept to that promise until I met Dylan. I see myself drawn to him even when I tried so hard to stay far away from him. At first, I thought it was the sex, I felt like when I get him on my bed lik

053 She's back
Tessa's PovI heard the pilot announce that our plane was about to land in New York City. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I glanced at Mara and she flashed me a soothing smile."It's so good to be back after all these years" I whispered and Mara nodded.I stared at Xavier and Zoey who were both sleeping, I guess they were tired and needed rest.The fresh air of New York hit my skin immediately as we stepped down from the plane, Xavier and Zoey were now awake and they chanted happily as they licked their lollipop, it was so clear they were excited and I couldn't even place my hands to the reason why they are so excited, I guess they were just been kids, always excited about everything. "I should get us a ride…." Mara suggested and paused when my phone started ringing. "Hold that thought please, I need to take this," I said calmly and Mara nodded, urging me to go ahead."Hi Alex, we just landed," I said."Yes and I'm here to be your ride for today, turn to your right" he uttered,

054 It's time to get her back!
Aaron's Pov."I swear to God, Alexander crossed the line this time," Dylan says, his voice seeping with anger as we both walk into my office.I gazed at him and I could only agree with him. Alexander is testing my patience, I usually overlook his nonsense but this time he went overboard.Dylan's face hardens the more, his face narrowed slightly as frustration creeps into his voice. "And what does he mean by soon he will take that which you cherish the most?" he asks sharply. "This asshole keeps throwing shades at you and he looks so confident while at it" Now that I think about the nonsense Alexander was spilling from his mouth, do I need to be worried? Or is it just Alex being Alex?"I'm sure he was just blabbing" I replied dismissively, feigning ignorance."It doesn't look like he was just rumbling, Aaron, there's just something about how confident he sounded" he complained and that leaves me wondering,Am I taking Alexander's threats too lightly? I keep asking myself this, especia

055 Putting him in his place
Tessa's Pov.Standing in front of the mirror, my face grinned, I looked as gorgeous as always, I was wearing a pink Cinderella satin A-line slit dress that I made specially for this occasion and a pair of black ankle strap heels, and a purse to match. I exuded class and sophistication.It was the grand opening and display of my fashion line in New York. And of course, I knew Aaron would be there.As I stepped out of my room, I met Mara chilling in the living room while she waited for me.Her face lit up with a smile as our gaze met. "You look absolutely gorgeous T" she let out, smiling at me."Thank you, Mars, you look so pretty too" I exclaimed, my eyes scanning her, she was wearing the dress that I made for her, a short plunged bodycon maxi dress, comfortable enough for her photography thing."What can I say? My best friend is the best fashion goddess, of course, I have to represent" she said proudly, which elicited a grin from me, and we both chuckled. Mara has been my hype woman

056 She's still my wife!
Aaron's Pov.My heart raced as Tessa made a grand entrance to her event, my eyes clued to her. She looked so stunning as always. I can't help but notice that so much has changed about her, the way she radiates and lighten everywhere with her presence is remarkable, the aura she exudes just helplessly commands respect even without her doing too much, her poise was on another level.Damn! She always takes my breath away.As she walked to the stage, her tiny waist and big ass swayed from side to side, she got to the stage and turned, facing the crowd, and then she flashed a wide smile, a smile that makes butterflies flutter in my stomach. There's just something about the way she smiles, so charming.And then, our gaze met and I froze in my chair, my heart raced, I managed to compose myself and smiled broadly at her, making my presence known. There was this look of disdain in her eyes and then she frowned slightly, shifting her gaze to someone else.I trailed her gaze and to my greatest

057 Still you
Mara's PovI moved around, carefully taking pictures of the design on display. After I took the last few shots, I took a deep breath and proceeded to review the photos I'd taken, a smile spread across my face as I went through the photos, one after the other.Satisfied with the pictures I'd taken, I turned to walk back to where Tessa was, but then as I turned, I came face to face with Dylan whose lips turned up in a heart-melting smile as his eyes surveyed me.I stared at him, his face, and then my eyes strayed.Gosh, was he built? My mind screamed."Dylan" I breathed, my heart slamming wildly in my chest."Good to see you Mara, it has been so long" he mouthed, his honeyed voice caressing me.Indeed, it has. I muttered inwardly"Have you been standing there– for too long?" I stuttered, trying to form my words. "Not too long ago, but long enough to know that you're good in what you do" he praised, pointing at my camera.I flashed him a smile, muttering "Thank you"He went silent again

058 To finding happiness
Aaron's PovI stormed into the house with Dylan scurrying behind me"Whoah, calm down Aaron, what exactly happened?" Dylan asked, clearly concerned.I paced around the living room, but then I gained my composure and sat down, looking Dylan straight into his eyes."Alexander is with Tessa now" I blurted outDylan raised an eyebrow, he was shocked to hear that but at the same time, he tried not to overreact. "With her, how?" Dylan questioned."I don't just know, a friend or something but you and I know quite well that Alexander doesn't want friendship" I retorted, gazing at Dylan who looked as confused as I was.Dylan furrowed his eyebrow, his jaws clenching."Alexander is so pathetic, he's clearly up to no good," Dylan said."Exactly my point, something doesn't seem right, could you believe that Tessa even defended him, right in front of me" I said, my frustrations clearly evident."Wait" Dylan retorts, his eyebrows raised, he gives a thoughtful gaze, his expression serious but calm,

059 Living my dreams
Tessa's PovIt's been two days since the incident with Aaron. Looking back to how I defended Alex, I still can't shake off the look on Aaron's face. He had a hint of disappointment in his eyes but honestly gone are those days that I cared.I can't help but admit that Aaron changed, he would have punched Alex but he didn't, he just stood there, his attention on me, trying to get me to talk to him.As much as I hate to admit it, I've been thinking a lot about Aaron lately, I kept wondering how our life would have turned out if Lisa hadn't showed up, maybe we would be living together happily with Xavier and Zoey as one big happy family. But then on a second thought I shake off the thought of a perfect family with Aaron, he chose to love Lisa and not me and I respect that.I jolted out of my trance as I heard the knock on the door."Yes? Come in" I let out, adjusting myself on the chair."You have a meeting with the Modellos in five minutes Miss T" Rose, my secretary affirmed."Shit!" I c

060 Told him off
Tessa's Pov..The meeting progressed smoothly after I signed the contract, Grace takes control, detailing her expectations for the show and picking out the designs she'd love for the show from my catalog.She covers everything from how many outfits for each model, the sequence of the runway lineup, and the timing for each model's appearance.I fixed my eyes on my tab, taking records and adjusting to the schedule and timing.Anna shows genuine interest, she gives useful tips on how to improve the runway lighting and picking out colors of the fabrics for the designs.I focused my gaze on my tab, taking down each point and suggestions regarding the designs.I returned my gaze to them and asked. "Anymore suggestions?" Silence follows as no one speaks up, showing they are satisfied with everything so far.I nod, glad it all went well and we would probably call it a day. "Okay, I think that's it, I will send the samples when I'm done for fittings" I concluded.As Anna packed up their stuff,
