The day of the event has come and everyone was all scrambling on their feet even at the break of dawn. The previous day's tension was temporarily forgotten as everyone becomes focused on making the summer event successful. "Today is your launch in Silhouettes Designs, right?" Lucien mumbles against her cheek. "Yes," she replies with closed eyes, enjoying Lucien's kisses. "Shine bright like a sun, my doll. I know you will blind them with your beauty and your talent. I'm so proud of you" he continues as he trails kisses all over her face."You haven't seen my designs, Lucien..." incredulous but amused, she retorted. "I don't need to see, I know you are great in your craft. I believe in you" he firmly counters, gently biting her skin. Giggling, she tightens her arms around his waist. "Thank you for the faith, my love" she smiles and kisses him back. He enjoys her lips on his before moving away to cup her beautiful f

The instant she steps outside of the stage, she felt his presence. She doesn't need to see him to know he is watching.Looking straight ahead, she saw him directly afar, in front of the stage. Together with his family whom she saw subtle surprise reflects on their faces as they stare at her. But one of the things Wright was good at is maintaining their expressions controlled. No one had even noticed the surprise they have upon seeing Lexie onstage.Discreetly, she spares them a fleeting glance, especially with Lucien. Too quick for anyone to notice their gazes lock. But the fleeting moment is all they need. They already understood the unspoken and it made her more confident. He is watching her and she will give him a perfect show. During her previous modeling career, she had not been given the chance to model in an event as huge as the summer event of SD, but she has been doing great in modeling even before. She just had no chance to showcase how she could own t

To pacify the situation, Levinia casually made Lexie sit beside Lucien while Samantha took her seat beside Lexie. They made sure Lexie will not be seated close to any man, especially Arvin who is so obvious of his affection towards her. Lucien has been very quiet, sporting a dark expression and Lexie could not do anything about it. She was relieved, she was made to sit next to him. The dark aura, filling the air seems to have lessened but does not completely vanish. Somehow, Lexie beside him pacified his possessiveness.The meal has been comfortable for everyone while maintaining a relaxed conversation. And Lexie had the chance to discreetly touch her legs to Lucien's knee when she turn towards his direction to reply to Sandra Corsino."I hope you don't mind me asking and you may not answer it if you are uncomfortable. Are you in a relationship right now, Miss Montes?" the woman casually asks."Yes, Madame, I am" with a smile, she immediately replies."

Leaving the two men in their privacy and wanting to come back to the party, Lexie leisurely walks back to the venue. She felt exhausted but the night is still young. A lot of guests are still enjoying the after-party and it would be improper to leave.She is almost by the Olympic size pool, she was blocked by several figures. "Congratulations on the success of your modeling career, Miss Montes. Surely you will have a considerable chance to steal from now on" Mariz spoke of her insults.Staying quiet, she looks at the woman in front of her. She doesn't want to engage but she might indulge."Haven't we clear on that issue, Miss Segovia? I didn't steal your ring and I don't have any plans of stealing anything" she seriously retorted."If you think you had convinced me with your innocent act, think again. I'm not as gullible as the others" the model snickers, countering her. Staring at the tipsy model, she understood the situation better."This is not

"There is a more expensive earring than this one, Miss Montes. You could have stolen them instead" Sam snickers amid the confusion and surprise of everyone. "Madame Carusso, I know you are familiar with the most expensive pieces of jewelry. Let's enlighten, Miss Montes on the pieces she should be stealing" Samantha turns to one of the guests at the corner who smiles at her in response. "Of course, Madame Wright" the elegant woman replies before averting her eyes to Alexzia. Her eyes squinted slightly before a mysterious smile carves her lips."Then, enlighten everyone, Madame Carusso" Samantha smiles at her. Whatever her eyes were saying only the older woman knew. "Apollo diamond earrings are known as the most expensive piece of jewelry in the world. The only pair of earrings of the rarest blue diamond was sold for a little over forty million dollars three years ago" the older woman carefully explains while everyone was attentively listening des
