Aella stared at Marie with a mix of disbelief and anger. "Seduced Mr. Damien into marrying me? What are you talking about?" Aella retorted, her voice firm and determined.Marie, caught off guard, tried to regain control of the situation. "You don't know the truth. You're just a naive newcomer who thinks she can make it big in this company."Aella took a deep breath before responding, "I might be new here, but I'm not ignorant. Tell me the truth, Marie. What's your issue with me?"Marie hesitated, glancing around as if searching for an escape route. Aella wasn't about to let her off the hook."I know you sabotaged my design earlier. Why? What have I done to deserve this?"Marie scoffed. "You think too highly of yourself. This company is everything to me, and I won't let some outsider steal the spotlight."Aella's eyes narrowed. "Outsider? I earned my place here, fair and square. If you have a problem, let's settle it professionally."Marie, realizing she couldn't intimidate Aella, chan

It was so hot and heated in the Damien fashion world, as every designer was trying hard to make their work count.All aligned, they were ready to fetch the garments they would like to use.Damien was in his office, waiting for Marie to update him on whatever the designers chose.Aella picked her garment; she does have good taste.Marie, who was supposed to supervise and check on all the designers, locked her eyes only on Aella, trying so hard to put Aella in a tight spot.Steve, who was always supporting Aella, came close to her and put his hands on her shoulder, saying, “I got you." He took his hands off and went to the sewing room.Aella knew she wasn't alone in this, as Damien was also weird yesterday; he was going to help her, or so she thought.They all went into the sewing room, leaving only Marie behind.Marie, making sure everyone was fully engaged, went straight back to Damein’s office to report.“What's the situation?” Damien was questioned as he awaited a reply from Marie.

Marie interrupted and distracted Damein from touching Aella's seat."What I meant to say was, I think they should all go round up all the finishing touches before practising the model runway walk, they have a lot to practise you know," Marie said as she glared directly at Aella’s sitting position.Damien put on a smile as a sign of supporting what she said and went back to his seat, “You all are dismissed, go finish up the last touches, I would say practise the model runway walk perfectly, tomorrow is the day, it is going to take place in the evening at the fashion world's event hall, now go," he decreed and declared as all the designers including the head of the dressmaking department Marie walked out of the conference room.Aella majestically walked down to the sewing room to bring out the manikin to put up the last remnants of the stones on her dress.Marie followed right behind Aella to warn her not to let this whole project go haywire but refused to leave because Aella wasn't rea

Damien was deeply concerned about Aella's whereabouts, and then and there he called Aella up from the office telephone.Aella saw it was Damien calling, but she still refused to answer. “Damien Sullivan, I do like your name, but nevermind, I don't want your wife, you can have her for yourself, I have better things to attend to, Damien I enjoyed chatting with you, now if may." Seth said as he drove away from the company.The tension was high in Damien's mind as he hurriedly left for the parking lot and called out Aella's name with uneasiness. Understandably, Aella would be curious about Damien's behaviour, so she asked if he was okay.And Damien tried playing innocent, “I was just feeling a little uneasy let's go." Damien said as he got in the car.But Aella's random thought shows she was not fully convinced, by the excuse he used.Aella, who was already tired of standing, dropped the thoughts for a little while so could get inside the car as well. She saw how frightened Damien was

The ambassadors were so annoyed by the unexpected turnout of Aella’s performance that a pissed Damien grabbed onto the microphone that was held by the master of the ceremony and began talking.“I’m deeply saddened to put the entire program on complete hold. As an unfortunate incident just happened with one of our designers, please accept my apologies." Damien said with his gaze completely set on the audience, most especially the pissed-off brand ambassadors. He lowered his gaze and went backstage.Aella, who was already sad, felt her worries heightened as she thought Damien would now make her life a living hell. She was sure it was Marie, but she didn't have a single proof of her claims.Damien ignored her as he turned and grabbed Marie’s hand again. Knowing that Marie had always liked him, he took that and used it to his advantage. He decided to make her utterly jealous. Now he didn't want to end the contract marriage; he wanted to make her pay for a mistake she didn't make.Damien t
