Ethan stood in front of his dresser to adjust his shirt of rare, luxury quality, as he looked at himself conceitedly through the mirror. He took from his rack golden cufflinks and attached them to the sleeve collar of his shirt, and picked from the revolving racks of numerous wristwatches, a diamond-studded one which he clasped around his wrist. His gelled jet-black hair shone through the mirror so perfectly, that he looked so elegant like someone that was just going to the office. But that was not the case. He was getting ready to attend the AVARSON fashion show event, which he had made sure to reserve the best seat for. A good seat space where everyone and even the designer of the clothes would be able to sight him from. "Hunh," He checked the time through his wristwatch and figured out that he still had so many minutes, before the event would even plan on starting to talk more about the collection display itself. He was tempted to pick up his phone and call the phone that would
Ava was not able to move away from the spot where she was for minutes, her head unable to think of the best thing to do at the moment. It seemed like her entire weeks of planning had gone to waste, and it would be irremediable no matter how hard she tried to fix it. "Ava, let's do something, please," Cassey tried to gear Ava up with words and get her to give orders, so that they would find a solution to the problem before things got even worse. But Ava's ears were blocked already and she was oblivious to whatever was going on around her, and soon it seemed like her breath was beginning to seize and hitch by the minute. Her head felt like it was going to explode. The dress that she had put so much effort into more than anyone and spent her time hand-beading together with Cassey, was ruined right before they could even show it to the world. Soli was on the way, the models were almost done getting ready, the show would soon start and yet everything was falling apart. "Ava, we need to
Ava smiled so brightly at the crowd as she held hands with Soli at the end of the show, who was wearing the beautiful signature dress that was made perfectly just for her. Her heart was filled with so much happiness to see that her fashion show finally took place after all, as she made thankful eye contact with the people that made it possible. Many minutes ago ………….After Ava picked up the call from the nanny, who told her that Autumn and even were waiting to see her outside, she almost broke down the moment she dropped the call in frustration. Going out to see her children meant that she had to smile and be happy around them, but it was going to be so difficult because of the situation of things that were going on. And she also could not leave them waiting out for too long, so as not to raise any worries. "Ava. I have inspected the dress and have seen how it has been cut. Considering the fact that the cuttings seemed back, it was cut in a way that wasn't so brutal to pieces. I t
After the fashion show ended and with the guests gone, everyone involved in making the fashion show a success gathered around for a buzz, and bottles of champagne were popped as they all clicked wine glasses to celebrate. They couldn't get smiles off their faces like a contagious radiance, because of how well everything went despite the last minute mess. After the small celebration amongst themselves, all the garments, accessories, and everything used were put back in order by the workers. After packing out everything that was used for the success of the show, Cassey and Gianna took the entire cloth and shoe collection back to the showroom at the company. The other teams carried the boards, garment racks, boxes, and other equipment back to the studio. Ava sorted things out at the fashion show building to be sure they left nothing behind, while Jace waited for her in his car somewhere around till she was done. Everyone was exhausted from the day's work and activities that were involve
Ava ambled elegantly to the front of the government building that was a workplace for officers, and she held her breath for a few minutes before releasing it. The ambiance around felt familiar and at the same time unfamiliar, because she remembered the last time and the reason she was at somewhere like that. It was when her father's company went bankrupt after he made some wrong investments, and had quite a huge debt to settle within a short time. It was a really tough moment in her life, especially for her as a young lady that had no one to turn to especially when everything became a court case. Those were times that she really didn't want to remember, because they were the lowest moments of her life as someone who was once a daughter to a wealthy elite. She proceeded and stepped into the bustling police station, greeted by the familiar symphony of activity, as the air hummed with a mix of urgency and tension which was punctuated by the occasional ring of phones and the clatters
Anna's grip on the steering wheel of her car was so tight till her knuckles started to turn white, mirroring the intensity of her rage as her temples throbbed with her veins fueling the flame of her anger. Her eyes narrowed on the road, which were fixated on the oblivious driver that was driving ahead of her with her vision clouded with frustration, as her breath grew shallow and rapid with exhales punctuated by muttered curses. "That bitch! I'm going to fucking kill her for making me feel this shitty. That stinking human, who thinks that she can take everything from me!" Anna grit her teeth as she pressed hard on the acceleration, and drove through the road on her way to the AVARSON fashion house. The tires of her car screeched so loudly against the asphalt as her foot pressed down on the accelerator, propelling her forward with reckless action of transferring her anger to the car and road. Since she was used to driving that way, she drove through traffic like a daredevil as her re
Ava woke up later in the evening feeling so rejuvenated and full of life, in a way that she had not felt for a long while. She did some push-up exercises after stepping down from her bed, before she had a quick bath in the bathroom and changed into comfortable clothes. She went out of her room and followed through her large open hallway, before climbing down the stairs and walking into the living room to check for her children. When she realized that they were not there, she checked the dining room to see if they were probably eating, and returned to check their bedroom when she didn't see them anywhere around the house. Her heart started to beat fast with the thought that her children should be home by that time from the mall, and returned to her room hurriedly to get her phone and call Beatrice to ask after the kids. The woman told her that they were almost home with the chauffeur, and Ava heaved a sigh of relief before lashing out on impulse at the nanny. She asked why they wer
Anna had the worst day ever to an extent that she felt ruined and so pathetic ever since she went to challenge Ava, and came back wrecked with haunting words that no one had ever said straight to her face. It was the first time that both of them had seen one another one on one after years had passed, asides from the same time that they were both schooling at the same university with Ethan. And she remembered the dirty role that she had played in, making Ava's and Ethan's relationship an ill-fated one before it even started. She had always been a classy young lady from birth and enjoyed so many privileges, which remained the same after her father died and she was left with her mother, Jordyn, who did everything to make her happy and satisfy her. The first guy that she noticed in her first year was Ethan, whom the others considered a snob and cold person because of his parent's wealth in class. She was so much interested in him and wanted him for herself, amidst the guys that wante
