“My dearest wife, Mrs Blackwood, my love. I have waited and longed for you to come back to my arms. I can't go to sleep without thinking of the memories we shared in the recent past. I still love you, Avery and I want you back.However, this is your decision to make. Maybe, I am not patient enough to wait for that time. You never gave me anything to hold on to, which I think is unfair considering the fact that I did nothing but love you.” I paused, trying to blink away the tears that welled up in my eyes, all to no avail. I had no option than to let it flow.I flipped over to the other page as I continued reading..“Hope you liked the flowers? These are the keys to your car. Accept them if you want me to move on. If not, instruct Mr Ben to bring it back to the mansion, your home”Tears flowed down my cheeks as I finished reading the letter. Maybe I misunderstood the whole thing but how could he even think of moving on?Is what we shared a joke to him? I thought to myself as the imagi

As I stepped into the bustling atmosphere of the pits modelling agency, I was both excited and nervous. I was about to take a career I never dreamt off.“Welcome, Avery!” Mr plies called out. His voice boomed across the room.“Let's get started” I nodded as I trailed behind him, hands clinging together with my hand bag.“Alright, let's see what you've got. We're going to start with a few poses and see how you move in front of the camera. Follow my lead and don't be afraid to express yourself”He said, scanning me with his eyes as if assessing my potential.I took a deep breath reminding myself to stay focused.We moved into the studio and the light flickered in, illuminating the space with a bright glow. I could feel the hot gaze of the photographers and the crew, all waiting for me to step into the spotlight.“First, let's try a classic stance,” Mr Piles instructed, demonstrating how to position my body to highlight my features.“Shoulders back, chin up and give me that confident sm

“Popular Billionaire CEO spotted with another woman”“Ethan Blackwood's new girlfriend”The headline caught my eye like a bolt of lightning. My heart dropped and a familiar knot tightened in my chest. I clicked on the article and my breath hitched as I saw the accompanying photo.Ethan walked hand-in-hand with Sarah. Though they didn't appear to be doing anything overtly romantic, the mere thought that Sarah was back in the picture sent a rush of insecurity through me. I thought I had moved past this but seeing them together, even in simple moments like this, turned my thoughts dark.I took a deep breath, reminding myself not to let things get to me. Despite that, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy clenching around my heart.“Don't let it get to you” I whispered to myself as if I could physically dislodge the thought.With a deep breath, I got out of the bed to freshen up for the day.I dressed in a tailored navy blazer over a crisp white silk blouse that hugged my frame just

I came downstairs on hearing the sounds of chattering and laughter.“Catherine” I called out“Child,” she said, standing up for a hug.She had her usual free-spirited demeanor as if nothing had transpired over the past months“Hmmm. I miss you” She said, as she tightened her grip around me.“Mom, you shouldn't be here” I said, giving off an awkward feeling.“No child, I came to see how my daughter-in- law is faring.“Mom” I called out.“I am no longer your daughter-in-law” I said“Ethan is no longer my husband”“Nonsense!” she bluffed“Ethan is just waiting to get something together. After which he'd come back for you” Catherine playfully explained. But the thought of Ethan coming back for me sent a certain unexplained feeling of excitement. But just as it came, I pushed it away.“Come have a seat” Catherine urged.“Come sit close to me, child”“Mom, this is my house. I can sit anywhere” I muttered “I want you to sit with me,” Catherine insisted.“How have you been? What have Jane

“Sarah!” “Avery!” She exclaimed She heaved a sigh of relief as if pleased that it was not anyone else. “Oh! You again” she said, contentiously “Sarah, that's not how you talk to your lead model. Am sure you've never been one” I said, in a bid to rile her up.“How dare you!? I own an agency” she said, with a heavy breath as if her chest was about to explode “I could tell. No wonder I am made the lead model. Because these.. [demonstrating with my eyes] are no match for Avery Pierce” I said, with pride in my toneSarah laughed hysterically “You're just bittered that Ethan left you. You're just a tool in his games” she said in a surprisingly calm expression that one would think we are just having a conversation.This time around, there was no come-back so I dropped the dresses on the ground, tilted my head to the side and flapped it on her face in a mockery gesture before walking away.I could hear her groan in frustration as she called her models to come pick up the dresses.I took
