The sun's rays illuminated the serene beach, warming the picturesque setting of Brian Evans and Amanda Green's wedding. It was the most beautiful beach in the country, precisely what Amanda had envisioned for her special day. Soft music filled the air, creating an ambiance of tranquility as delicate silk drapes adorned the reception tables. However, amidst her own wedding, Amanda felt a lack of power. She couldn't help but feel like an outsider within her own family. With no influence or talent to contribute to her family's standing, her only role was to marry Brian Evans, solidifying an economic partnership between their prominent families. As Amanda walked down the aisle, a forced smile graced her lips. She tried to appear joyful on her wedding day, but her eyes betrayed a tinge of melancholy. She knew that Brian held no affection for her and regarded this marriage as a mere mockery. Brian, the groom, stood at the altar coldly and indifferently. His eyes showed no emotion as he l
Vivian stood at the airport, patiently awaiting Kristen's arrival, her closest confidante. They hadn't seen each other in months since Kristen left to pursue her studies in France, missing out on Brian's wedding. Kristen had wanted to be there for Vivian during her most challenging times, but her academic commitments had kept her away. Finally, the day had come for Kristen's return. Vivian's face lit up with joy as she spotted Kristen walking through the gate. They rushed into each other's arms, embracing tightly as if no time had passed. After that, Vivian and Kristen entered their favorite café, going to the counter to place their orders."What can I get for you ladies?" the barista asked with a friendly smile. True to her usual choice, Vivian replied, "I'll have an iced latte with extra milk, please!" Kristen pondered momentarily before deciding, "I'll go with a hot chocolate, thank you." After a short wait, the barista handed them their drinks, and they settled into a quiet
Luna arrived at the café to meet Olivia, her eyes filled with determination and a twisted smile adorning her face. Her thoughts remained incredibly damaging despite undergoing compulsory therapy for her psychological condition. She reached out to Olivia, seeking solace and spewing venomous tales about Vivian. Luna intended to use Olivia as a pawn in her continued quest to harm Vivian."Olivia, you have no idea just how cunning Vivian can be," Luna whispered, her voice brimming with resolve. "She deceives everyone into believing that she has succeeded through her talent. But the truth is, she owes everything to Louis."Olivia listened with a mix of scepticism and intrigue. While she disliked Vivian, she also knew Luna's greedy nature. "Why do you think that?" Olivia asked, cautious of Luna's motivations.Luna relished the opportunity to sow seeds of doubt and satisfy her envy. She continued, her words dripping with disdain, "I used to have a secret relationship with Louis. I have pictu
In Louis's office, Vivian's face was etched with tension as she scrolled through her phone, reading a barrage of articles highlighting the striking similarities between the two fashion designs. The comments on Bloom's social media page only amplified the vitriol and hateful remarks aimed at her and her collection. Weariness and sorrow engulfed her, her hands trembling under unjust accusations.Louis approached her, gently taking hold of her phone and placing it on the table. His presence brought a glimmer of solace to Vivian's troubled soul. "Fear not, Vivian. I will handle the media situation," he assured her, his voice laced with determination.With her hands covering her face, Vivian struggled to hold back the tears streaming down her cheeks. In a choked voice, she pleaded, "I didn't do this, Louis. Do you believe me?"Louis reached out, wiping a stray tear from Vivian's cheek. His eyes conveyed unwavering trust and support. "Vivian, my love, I believe in you," he affirmed, his voi
Vivian patiently awaited Olivia's arrival. When she saw Olivia entering the room, she took a deep breath, preparing for the upcoming conversation."Olivia, thank you for coming," Vivian greeted with a warm smile, but there was an underlying strangeness in her demeanor that differed from their usual interactions.Olivia appeared surprised by Vivian's friendly approach, but she decided to play along. "What do you want to talk about, Vivian?"Vivian's smile remained unchanged as she began the conversation, "I've been reflecting on our recent interactions and everything that's been happening. It's truly heartbreaking to see someone trying to destroy my reputation and my collection."Olivia feigned concern, "I understand, Vivian. It's a difficult situation, but I have nothing to do with it."Vivian looked straight into Olivia's eyes, shaking her head, "I think you must be tired, aren't you?"Olivia hesitated momentarily before responding, "What do you mean?"With a slight smirk, Vivian con
Vivian and her closest friend, Kristen, decided to spend the afternoon shopping together. Vivian was exhausted from everything that happened at work and wanted to unwind. They strolled past a luxurious and trendy fashion boutique. Kristen's eyes lit up with delight. "Oh, Vivian, look at this dress! It's so beautiful!" she exclaimed, gently touching the elegant fabric of the light pink dress. Vivian nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it's gorgeous. But on what occasion do you want to wear it?"At this point, Kristen chuckled mischievously, "For a date!" Vivian's eyes filled with curiosity. "Who's the lucky guy?" Kristen blushed slightly and winked playfully. "Otis Evans. The guy I met on the flight back home. I had no idea he worked at the same company as me now. He asked me out!" Vivian smirked and playfully patted Kristen's shoulder. "That's destiny for you. Then we must pick the perfect outfit to make him swoon at first sight!" Vivian picked several dresses for Kristen to try

Confusion whirled in her mind as she tried to piece together the events leading up to this moment.Her hand reached for the phone on the table. No messages, no missed calls. A pang of sadness flickered in her eyes.She cautiously sat up and looked around, her heart pounding. The room was orderly and meticulously kept.

While Brian grappled with his own turmoil, Vivian was savouring moments of pure joy in the company of Louis.They sat in an alluring restaurant illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, a gentle radiance accentuating the delight in Vivian's eyes. Louis gazed at her with a tender smile, his eyes reflecting the warmth of his affection. The evening air was infused with anticipation as their relationship took another significant stride.A waiter approached, presenting a grand bouquet of red roses to Louis. He took them graciously and then turned to Vivian with a charming smile, handing her the bouquet.
