Semua Bab All I want for Christmas is my ex husband’s twin brother : Bab 51 - Bab 60

LISA“Jezz it’s 23rd already.” I said as my eyes widened. Today was the day. But then something else hit me… today was meant to be the day I and Adrian would’ve celebrated our 1 year anniversary. But the sad feeling didn’t last long. Nothing about Adrian lasted long anymore. I sat up slowly, my heart already racing, and swung my legs over the side of the bed, coming down and putting on my fluffy slippers. I stood by the window for a moment. Seems the sun was taking over today as well. Then I clasped my hands together and closed my eyes.“God,” I whispered, my voice trembling despite my effort to stay calm. “I’ve worked so hard for this. Please… let my brand win today. Let everything I’ve poured into it matter. Give me strength. And protect me.”I inhaled deeply.“And please,” I added softly, “bring Brian back safely tonight.” I woke up to notice he wasn’t in bed.. it only means he had an emergency.***************By the time I arrived at my fashion world, the place was buzzing wi

MONICA “ Did she just do the just do the 360 spin… she didn’t even… she did it even better than……. Me. How??.” I said in annoyance not knowing I actually said it out loud. People stood up. Phones shot into the air immediately she stood to turn, I saw annoying flashes everywhere, Someone even yelled, “Who is she?” Another voice answered, “That aura… oh my God!”“Ouch!!” I screamed as blood dropped little by little from my palm.. “my sharp nails has performed it’s own show on my palms.” I said releasing my hands from a fist. LISA I felt taller and way more confident as I walked… i didn’t expect such confidence myself. What could I do to get the crowd mad… I thought as I walked slowly, with my head high. Just then an idea popped up.. I was only good at it in my imagination but I’ll give it a try anyway… if I fail, I’ll try to cover it up anyhow. I crossed my heels, spreading my hands sideways as I turned slowly in a way my dress won’t cause me trouble. And… I did it… I really did.

LISAThe moment the car door opened, the sound coming from the hall rushed in. I was damn tired already but Brian wouldn’t be so happy if I’d told him I won’t be able to be his date to the gala… so I had to buckle up. Cameras were already clicking.Voices calling.Lights flashing very bright that it almost felt like daylight.Brian stepped out first, then turned and offered me his hand.I placed my gloved fingers in his.The second our hands connected, the noise doubled.“THE SILVER VEIL!”“LOOK AT THEM!”“WHO IS SHE REALLY?”I lifted my chin as I stood. Brian leaned closer, his lips barely brushing my ear.“Ready to make them lose their minds?”I laughed softly. “They already have.”We stepped onto the red carpet together.People stopped walking. Conversations died mid-sentence. Even seasoned designers stared openly. Phones were raised. Reporters pushed forward.I really felt like a princess or something. “She’s stunning.”“That aura…”“She looks so like heartbreak bruh.. I just

MONICA watching her on the floor gave me a spark on joy. I pushed her hard.. I definitely knew her mask would break. You think you’ve won lisa!!You’ll loose your fans and your baby tonight. LISA For a second, my body didn’t move. The tiny pieces from the glass in my hands was still scattered around, hurting my arm. My arm was slowly bleeding. The entire hall was filled with gasps and noise. I could hear some going live.. waiting for the moment I’ll stand so my face would go viral. The lights above me blurred, splitting into fractured halos. The music had stopped completely now. There was tension everywhere. My world was shaking and crumbling slowly. “Lisa!!!!!!” Brian’s voice cut through loudly. I bet he barely knew when he screamed my real name. Before I could even lift my head, his body was there. He stepped between me and the crowd without hesitation, blocking the cameras, blocking the stares.“Are you okay?” he asked urgently, crouching in front of me. His hands hov

LISA I was already shivering when we reached a nearby 5 star hotel. The receptionists and a few people recognized me, but they don’t actually look like those that attended the gala.. The hotel was filled with Christmas spirit.. from the songs to the decorations and the outfits of the workers. Brian signed us in without ceremony, one hand still steadying me by the elbow as if he was afraid I’d disappear the moment he let go.“Room 1208,” the receptionist said with a polite smile.Brian nodded. “Thank you.”The elevator ride was quiet, but not uncomfortable… I was getting a bit warm but still shivered. As Brian’s hands were on palms as I used my other hand to hold my cape together, covering me fully. “You’ll be okey Lisa… a real hot bath would do.” he said like a whisper. I let out a shaky smile. The elevator chimed as the doors slid open, and he walked us down until we reached the door, swiped the card, and pushed it open. The room was… perfect.Not extravagant. Just perfect.
