“He did what?!”As I step out of the elevator, Vincent follows every step I take while he continues to absorb the information that I have given him.We’re currently exiting the building of my penthouse, and Vincent here just arrived moments ago.According to him, he rushed all the way here after Bryce sent him a message that I might need Vincent’s help.And of course the text left him wondering because he had never mentioned my name to Bryce and everything that’s in between us.Well that’s according to him though. But according to my guts? I shouldn’t believe Vincent even though he told me the truth about the love triangle of Lucas, Dahna, and Isequel.“Do I have to repeat myself again and again, Vincent? I think I clearly told you that your friend just kicked me out.”Irritation is starting to bubble inside me. I get irritated many times regarding different things, but when it comes to Vincent, it’s just different.The kind of different that makes me want to wrap my arm around his ne

As I step into the doors of my vacation house, I let out a deep breath to help calm myself down.It’s been so long since the last time that I was in here.Hell, I’d even forgotten its existence if only Bryce didn’t kick me out of my penthouse.“Welcome back, Aurella.” I say to myself, before letting my body weigh down on the soft surface of the sofa in the living room.I remember I used to treasure this place so much. But now, it’s just a place for me to stay in when I don’t have anywhere else to go to.This place used to be my safe haven. My father bought it for me as a gift for my tenth birthday, which was very odd because it felt like he wanted me out of our house.I chuckle to myself, “What a stupid, naive girl you were, Unique.”I start to look around as memories of me and my family start to flood my brain. And when I say ‘family’, I meant my parents, me and my brother. I don’t really consider other people wearing our surname as a real family. Except for my cousins, of course. The

As I play with my food on the plate, I tell myself that all of this will be over any minute now.Keanu and his father are talking about how peaceful life was in Germany. And Keanu was the one who spent years in Germany, yet Uncle Naveen is the one that has a lot to share with the family.He claims that his son was never a failure like how the public had captured him to be, when he vanished after the cheating allegations spread like wildfire.Among us, Keanu was the only Aglauros in our generation that had married and got divorced after it was proven that he was cheating on his wife with a stripper in Vegas.Now, if it happened to any of us, I know how it'll excite Uncle Naveen to call us a disgrace in every family dinner.Especially if it happened to me.“Keanu certainly missed being here with us. Germany wasn't much of a challenge for him.”I bite my lip to contain my laughter. Wasn't much of a challenge? Before he left he was met with great challenges, yet what did he do? He abandon

“Showtime, Ms. Aglauros.”As I prepare myself to grace the runway, I take a deep breath to relax.Anything could go wrong. It's been a while since I walked the runway for a brand—especially a lingerie brand.“3, 2, 1...” I brush off the anxiety and then plaster a sweet yet seductive smile.I start to execute my signature catwalk strut with my feet moving according to the song playing.It's Gimme More by Britney Spears. An all-time favorite by many.The crowd goes wild at the sight of me. Cameras flashing left and right; fans raising their placards with my face on it. I wave at the camera before blowing it a kiss when I reach the end of the runway.The lacy lingerie I'm wearing right now is one of the sets I wore when I did the photoshoot weeks ago. The photoshoot went very well, and my photos boosted the sales of the magazine where my photos were featured. The brand couldn't resist but had me wear the lingerie that stood out the most in the runway because of the photoshoot.And I could

After I left the building, I went to my store to mingle with customers for some time. I have to show up more often now since I want to inform everyone about my brand expansion in Asia. I just want them to spread the word for me, and encourage other people to show their support even just on social media.It’s already a huge help, and I’m not even paying them any amount of money.“I’m on my way. It’ll only be a couple of minutes.” I say to my father over the phone.He demanded me to go to his mansion without telling me the reason why. I am currently driving while wishing in my head that I won’t be stuck in traffic.My father abruptly ends the phone call without a single last word uttered.What is going on with my old man? I’m not used to this version of him.He’s cold, but he’s not this cold before.“Fuck,” I cuss to myself when the car in front me stops because of the red light ahead.“It’s not even rush hour yet, but this is already happening.” I sigh; trying to calm myself.Should I
