Gray is just drinking his champagne, when he looks up and sees that Mateo is going around and greeting those that have come for his wedding. Gray rolls his eyes. “Great.” Mateo comes to Gray's table and sits down. “See that you were able to make it to the wedding, Lance.” Mateo exhales loudly. “It's good to see that you made it too. To your wedding.” Mateo laughs and shakes his head. “I just can't stand you. My parents insisted that we extended the invite to you and your wife. That's the only reason that you are here.” “Trust me, I don't want to be here too.” Mateo smiles. “As soon as my wife is done, and it's not rude to, we will leave.” “Yeah, the hell you should.” Mateo huffs. “It's a shame that my friend, the anonymous trillionaire, couldn't make it though. He sent his regards though.” Gray can't help but laugh. It's laughable that Mateo lies with so much ease. Mateo frowns at him. “And what's so funny? I don't blame you. You don't understand how big businessmen like us

Wendy looks around with her jaw on the ground. This is not how she expected this to go down. She meant to embarrass her cousin so much that her cousin would run out of the place crying like crazy, but this has turned around. Stacy is standing as still as a statue, and everyone is just just around her, taking pictures of the beautiful transformation of her dress. Stacy is almost on the verge of tears, but she doesn't understand that they are not taking pictures of her because they want to embarrass her, they want to post it for their socials! She is the one that Devonté has chosen to wear his first ever transforming dress. Wendy looks around for help. Her eyes find Mateo even though he can't help her. Her wedding will be forever linked to this, to her cousin that she hates so much. That's when it dawns on Mateo that Gray is a very dangerous man. The whine time, this was just part of his grand plan.******Even after everything, the after-party of the wedding ended well. Everyth

There are thousands of pictures of Stacy, covered in champagne, but most especially, the dress has been transformed into another magnificent colour. She cannot believe this! Her stupid cousin made a blunder and now it looks like an intentional photoshoot?! She is the model! She is the one with the beautiful body and greek–featured face. Stacy doesn't even know the first thing about being a model, so why should she be getting all the attention?! Wendy is beyond furious, but she keeps scrolling and finally, she sees something that completely shattered her heart. Mister Devonté has posted about Stacy's viral dress, and he confirms that he chose her to be the perfect model to wear his most priced dress! Model?! Is he blind? Stacy has never modeled anything in her life! Why is he treating her like this?! She scrolls even down and sees that he has now officially invited Stacy to join his fashion agency. She will exclusively model for him, and it will attract juicy bonuses for her, a

Stacy hears another ring of the bell and she pulls at her face. She is tired already, and she thinks that she should give Gray a call and tell him that people are coming to the house and knocking. They are asking her if she was the mysterious lady who wore the transforming dress. She said she wasn't, and shut the door in their face. This has happened to her five times in the last two hours, so she is getting very frustrated with it. Why are they so up in her business?! Maybe she should even call the police.Now, another person has knocked on the door and she has lost her patience. She goes into the kitchen and finds the heaviest pan. She arms herself with it, and tells herself that if she is scary enough, maybe they won't come back. She unlocks the door, raises the pan, but stops herself just in time to see that it's not a news-hungry journalist, it's her cousin, Wendy. She didn't expect to see Wendy, because she just got married yesterday, and they kind of had a fight too. Bu

Stacy holds her breath, waiting for Wendy to say she is joking, but that doesn't happen. “Wait, let me get this straight.” Stacy says. “You want me to give you the dress that Gray got me, after you burnt my dresses just because you didn't want me to be your Chief bridesmaid?” “Oh, come on, Stacy. Why are you still dwelling on the past? You think that I lied to you? The clothes got destroyed by the fire that consumed my Tailor's shop!” Stacy doesn't believe her. She doesn't care what Wendy says, she doesn't believe her. “Look, why don't you just go and bring the dress down? I have already spoken to my team and they are preparing a photoshoot for it.” Wendy says. “It's dirty, I haven't been able to launder it since we came back from the wedding so late at night.” Stacy shakes her head. “Well, wearing a dirty gown is a sacrifice that I am willing to make.” Wendy smiles. “I'm not giving you my dress. Everyone knows that Mister Devonté is very picky about who puts on his dress. Ho

Wendy sees her plan is working. Stacy has so many insecurities, so whenever she wants something from Stacy, she uses one of them and they have worked almost every time. She smiles as she watches the tears trickle down her cousin's face. She looks so helpless right now. “Oh, my dear cousin.” She mocks. “Are you scared that your husband is going to know your family's dirty little secret?” “It's not fair.” Stacy croaks. “They are already dead, why are you trying to hurt them even more?” “Oh, sweetheart,” Wendy folds her hands. “Your disgraceful family might be dead, but their evil deeds live on. Imagine how hard it has been for the families that were affected by it.” “I'm already paying for it.” Stacy cries. “Why do they have to suffer? Why can't you just leave them alone?” “Let's tell Gray about it, then. Let's hear what he would have to say.” Wendy huffs. “It seems that you have forgotten that I was married to him before you. If there is one thing I know about Gray Lance, is t

When Stacy drives to Wendy's house, Wendy is already outside and is waiting for her. Wendy is holding her CV, and she is wearing her most stylish clothes. She is going to meet Mister Devonté, of course she is going to make sure that she leaves a good impression. She hasn't eaten for the entire day yesterday, and also this morning. She feels slightly dizzy, but she knows that she is going to be fine. She just doesn't want to eat even the smallest amount of food because she thinks that it's going to add a few inches to her waist. She can't have that. How can she win over Mister Devonté if she has the waist of a whale? Stacy stops the car and looks out of the window. Wendy looks at the expensive range rover and huffs. “You and your silly husband are still using the anonymous trillionaire's vehicle so carelessly? You aren't even thinking of the fact that you could get into an accident and both of you can't even afford the cars.”Stacy only rolls her eyes. Wendy gets into the car, an

They finally get to Mister Devonté's office. He is not even around, but they are trusted so much that they are left alone with a bottle of wine and two glasses to entertain themselves till he gets here. He won't be more longer than five minutes away. Wedding sighs as she crosses her leg. She wasn't the one who was invited, but she takes the bottle of wine, uncorks it, and pours herself a glass. “That security officer doesn't know who he was talking to back there,” she mutters. “As soon as Mister Devonté gets into the room, I will report him and he loses his job.” Stacy doesn't like this at all. She knows that the poor man was just doing his job, so why is she treating him like he did something wrong? “Wendy, I know you are angry, but maybe you should let it go.” Stacy says. “He was strict, but he was just doing his job. Maybe Mister Devonté told them to be careful with who they allow into the building.” “That's not an excuse.” Wendy hiss. “Doesn't he know who Mateo is? I'm his

Wendy's smile vanishes as fast as it had come. She thought that since de Nicola family were Mafia, everyone would want to be their friends, but that's not the case. She immediately feels like she wants the ground to open to swallow her. She should have kept quiet, now she has given Mister Devonté a bad impression of her. “If I may ask, Mister Devonté, why do you hate the de Nicola family so much?” Stacy asks. Mister Devonté shakes his head even before she is done speaking. “They are the absolute worst.” She huffs. “What crimes have they not committed? They have killed so many people, cheated so many too, and that means their money is blood money! I personally know lives that were ruined by those evil people. I wish the Mars would just appear and destroy them!” Wendy winces. He is wishing that the Mars would come and destroy the de Nicola family, but that's her too. “But, Mister Devonté, haven't you heard of all the donations they have made?” Wendy asks. “I know that they are bad

Wendy's face is immediately flushed with embarrassment. Scoliosis?! She knows that is the biggest insult that you can give to a professional model, to tell them that their back is so bent that it affects their walk. She sits back down in shame, as won't look at Mister Devonté again. “You need to work on your walk and have confidence too. Also, make sure that you visit your doctor to know what to do about your scoliosis.” “Sir, I don't have scoliosis.” She mutters. “With the way your back was bent, I wouldn't be surprised if scoliosis is not the only problem that you have. Just keep practicing, and oh, ask Stacy to give you some tips!” Wendy looks down in anger. She is going to deal with her cousin. How can she, the professional model, be embarrassed like this? Mister Devonté opens a file and pushes it towards Stacy with a huge smile on his face. “Congratulations, my darling. You are now my highest model and muse, we shall be doing a lot of work together.” Stacy can't believe t
