Chapter 061ReeseAs soon as my alarm rang, I slammed my hand to turn it off and got up immediately. Well, I had to be. Days when I could linger in bed past the alarm were scarce, perhaps a full eight hours of sleep was a luxury. Since the beginning of my modeling career two months ago, I've been averaging about four hours of sleep, or five on a particularly good night.''Come on, Riley! The hair and makeup team will be here at six in the morning!'' exclaimed my personal assistant, Grace, as she pushed the door open and peeked into my room at Flora's house.Yes, you heard it right. I moved into Flora's house and left Liza's apartment after securing a modeling contract. I've also cut my connection with Liza, switching to the latest phone brand and changing my number. I no longer wish to maintain connections with people from my past. Flora has given me the name Riley. Although I was unaware of her reasons, it suited me well, as I was also seeking to avoid people from my past.Flora evol

Keep my baby

Chapter 062ReeseWe arrived at Los Angeles airport fifteen minutes later, and the flight to Oakland airport took only about an hour."What is the purpose of this meeting?" I asked. As soon as I entered the building where the meeting was to take place, I caught sight of Flora. She greeted me with a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. She had been in Oakland for nearly a week, attending to some important matters she needed to settle."Well, I spoke with an executive from Victoria's Secret, and they want you on their team for the upcoming event. Isn't that amazing?" she exclaimed excitedly as she grasped both of my hands. "I'm thrilled at the thought of you becoming the next Victoria's Secret Angel, joining the ranks of Adriana Lima, Riley."Rather than bringing excitement, Flora let me down again. "I'm sorry, Flora, but you should have consulted me first...''"But why? Aren't you pleased with this good news?" she inquired, arching a flawless eyebrow. "You're receiving the recognition yo

You'll be sorry

Chapter 063ReeseFlora's glares grew more intense as I continued to argue, yet they softened as she let out a deep sigh and averted her eyes."Okay...'' she exhaled sharply, then fixed her gaze directly into my eyes. "I will allow you to keep the child if you can introduce me to the father...''My eyes widened as I stared up at her. The father? How could I even do that?I shook my head as I rose to my feet. "I'm sorry, but I don't know who the father is...''"Then kill that baby!'' she screamed through gritted teeth. "Are you capable of raising that child by yourself? Do you believe the two of you can manage with your limited savings? How could you be so stupid, Riley!''I froze. Was I that stupid?No. She was just telling me this just to get rid of my baby, so that I could pursue my modeling career, as she would be the one to reap the benefits from it.I shook my head for one last time as tears streamed down my face."I'm telling you, Riley. You'll be sorry for keeping that child...

Free

Chapter 064ReeseFlora lied to me. She said she had already accepted my baby. I was right all along. She's a devil monster fucking witch!I fought back the lump in my throat at the thought of Enzo. I missed him terribly, yet I chose to wound myself rather than cause pain to my sister. I departed, uncertain of what his response would have been had I revealed our impending parenthood.Would he have chosen me over Candice?Would he have taken me as his wife and married me instead of my twin?I longed for his presence, but at that moment, I could only rely on myself. The question now was how to escape and free myself from Flora. Once more, I found myself fleeing from the woman to whom I had entrusted everything. The mere thought that she might again endanger my child drove me to the brink of madness. That was something I could not allow to happen again.I stroked my belly, feeling intense pain in my chest. I have to be stronger for my baby. I understood that my emotions would be shared w

Losing memory

Chapter 065Reese''Where to go, Miss?'' the driver inquired, and I provided him with the address of the apartment I was about to move into.A few minutes later, the driver stopped in front of the apartment, and I stepped out, beaming as I gazed upon my new home.''Finally, baby. We're going to live in peace...'' I murmured, gently touching my belly.I hauled my suitcase across the road. Perhaps I should call Grace for some company in the house.My heart swelled with excitement as I admired the apartment while crossing the street. Suddenly, a screeching noise pierced the air, and I turned towards the sound. A white car was speeding towards me, and I was paralyzed with shock, staring at the oncoming vehicle with wide eyes. Everything felt like it was in slow motion.I was hurled into the air, experiencing intense pain throughout my body before my head struck something solid. The next moment, I found myself lying on the ground, numbness spreading through every limb.Tears welled up in m

I saved you

Chapter 066Reese"A man?" the woman echoed, her lips curving into a significant smile. "There was no man when I rescued you. My name is Flora, by the way. Flora Coleman." Her eyes sparkled with an emotion I couldn't decipher. "It seems you've lost a portion of your memories, but we'll consult the doctor about your condition and how to recover those memories that have been lost. Meanwhile, it's important for you to know that you are already divorced from your husband, Troy Byers.""What?" That was a good thing though, but I didn't remember that fact. Chills suddenly ran through my body, and I began to think about what might've happened to me if Flora hadn't saved me. "But I couldn't have possibly lost my memory. I mean, something like that couldn't have happened to me. I..." But I stopped short.The look on Flora's face as she looked at me sadly, made me believe her. "It's true. I'm so sorry, my dear..."Oh my God!"And one more thing that was erased from your memory is the fact that

Supermodel

Chapter 067ReeseTwo years laterDragging my suitcase towards the arrival gate, I noticed several people at the airport pulling out their phones to snap photos of me. I overheard whispers about my new dress, a creation of Flora's renowned designer friend. This exclusive design was limited to just five pieces worldwide: one for me, two for Kendall Jenner, and two for Cara Delevingne.I shook my head and heaved a deep sigh, then lowered my gaze to conceal the dark circles under my eyes. I should have slept during the eleven-hour flight from Paris to Los Angeles, but sleep eluded me. I spent the flight simply eating and watching movies.The day before my flight was overshadowed by thoughts of my recent actions. I had gone on a date with the famous painter in Paris, George Le Brun. Despite his attractiveness, it turned out to be a mistake going out with him, particularly when Paparazzi caught us entering his hotel room. They assumed I had slept with him, but I knew what the real truth wa

The news

Chapter 068I often wondered why they always overstated my beauty, as if I were one of the world's top models. Perhaps they would swoon if they ever encountered Cara Delevingne or Kendall Jenner.Whenever I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw nothing unusual. I was still the same old Reese, the simple housewife. I was just like any other woman who was tall, had long blonde hair, and a fair complexion.My co-model friends often told me that my skin was flawless, my hair was effortlessly perfect, my eyes were captivating, and my natural red lips were kissable. They didn't know that my hair was naturally ginger, my skin had not always been flawless, and I could see marks of healed bruises, the origins of which still puzzled me."You're so beautiful, Riley!" a fan called out, and I responded with a wave. "Only one picture, please...?'' she pleaded, and I turned her down once again.I was always thankful for the warm reception I received upon returning to Los Angeles. Yet, I couldn't hel

Liar

Chapter 069ReeseKnowing that negative comments impact me far more than positive ones, I've decided not to open any of my social media accounts for now."So, what are the bashers saying this time?" I inquired, my tone disinterested. "I guess, the usual negative comments, like I'm a bitch. A whore. A homewrecker. Nothing new?"Jimmy let out a deep sigh, shaking his head in disbelief. He appeared exhausted, and I suddenly felt guilty for making him seem older than his forty-year-old self.I've only been acquainted with Jimmy for seven months, yet he's always been kind to me. Typically, he would defend me when Flora scolded me and handle the situation with diplomacy. However, at this moment, I sensed that he was about to chastise me as well."Riley, there are no more projects lined up for you," he stated, disregarding my inquiry about the critics. "Aren't you worried about your career?"I was conscious of this fact. I was aware that my career was on the brink of collapse."Riley..." Jim

The deal

Chapter 070Reese"And? What's the outcome of the deal? Did they accept it?" I inquired, my patience waning as I resumed my seat. "What happened, Jimmy? I want to know.""It went well, but there's one issue," he said, and the look in his eyes made me uneasy. They seemed to warn me to brace myself for what was to come. He then glanced at Trevor, who was just listening quietly beside me. "Trevor, get her some water first. She needs to calm down and relax."Trevor promptly fetched a glass of water and handed it to me. Despite my irritation, I accepted it and drank it down in one gulp before returning the glass to him, murmuring, thanks."Alright, what's the problem now?" I inquired of Jimmy.He sighed deeply, cleared his throat, and began explaining, "We were close to finalizing a deal with L. Carter News and Media Corporation, but..." He trailed off, looking over at Flora, who gave a nod, encouraging him to go on."But what?" I asked with impatience, sensing it was a promising beginning
