Chapter 1| Wendy.

The sweet smell of different delicacies woke Wendy up from her sleep, she opened her eyes slowly till she finally gained a clear vision. She rose up lazily and checked her phone, it was past eight 0'clock, she still had time before her shoot. Soon there was a knock on the door

"Who's there?" She asked

"It's Amelia" Amelia was a woman in her mid forties and she was carrying a tray containing Wendy's breakfast. She entered the room and placed the tray of food on the black wooden table beside Wendy's bed.

"I came earlier to wake you so you would go for breakfast but you were still deep asleep" Amelia said

"Oh, I came in very late yesterday and thanks for the food" Wendy said and Amelia exited the room leaving hungry Wendy to devour her food.

After a while Wendy was dressed in a black long sleeve fitted gown, Wendy was 5 '4 foot tall, she was dark, beautiful and had a very gorgeous body shape, she let her curly hair down and she had light makeup on. She exited her room and went down the stairs to the parlor. She heard voices as she descended down the stairs and she could tell that Mr and Mrs Smith were also around. The sound of her high heels echoed as she walked and they all immediately smiled at her, she knew they were discussing something about her. She smiled back and greeted her parents.

"Morning mum, morning dad" she said as she hugged them

"Morning to you Mr Smith, Mrs Smith" she hugged them also

"You look gorgeous darling" Mrs Smith complimented her and she smiled

"I'm flattered, thanks. I have to go, I'm running late" she said and exited

"Bye darling" her mum said.

The smile on her face disappeared when she saw the black man about 6'2 foot tall standing in front of his Lamborghini, she frowned immediately, it was Aaron Smith dressed in a short sleeve gray shirt that displayed his strong masculine arm tucked into his black trousers, he was busy staring at something on his phone and he was also playing with his key. His beauty was undeniable even to Wendy herself but there was something about him that made her stomach twist, maybe it was the rude way he spoke or his nonchalant attitude, she couldn't figure it out. She walked past him like there was nobody around her

"Too grumpy to greet today?" Aaron said as he looked up from his phone, his voice always had a strange effect on her and she hated it. She stopped and turned back.

"I think you skipped the part where you were to apologize for using your filthy car to scratch mine and you being a greedy motherfucking asshole rushed off without fixing my car, you did it on purpose" she said with a straight face

"I would have fixed it but I had somewhere important to go and just so you know it wasn't only your car that got scratched" he said with an apologetic expression and Wendy was not ready to play the game with him

"You know what?, I won't argue with you. And you know why?, because I'm more mature than you!, okay?!, greedy dog" she said angrily and walked away to her car, she saw and evil smirk displaying on his lips and she drove to him as if to hit him, he quickly moved away before shouting

"fuck you!" He shouted and it was Wendy's turn to do the devilish smirk.

After what felt like decades to Wendy, she was finally dressed up. Although she loves her work, it was also a whole lot of stress. One hand on your head making your hair, another on your face doing the makeup, having to stand making different poses with all the camera and studio light directed to your face, taking hundreds of pictures just to find about three perfect pictures for all the clothes you model for, it's a whole lot of stress.

"The designs you made are beautiful" Isabella said, Isabella was Wendy's close friend and also a fashion designer.

"You did the best job being able to sow it out" Wendy said flashing a beautiful smile towards Isabella

"So what's going on with you and Zion?" Isabella asked silently

"You know nothing is, sometimes he acts like a Prince Charming, like my knight in shining armor and other times he's nonchalant and a stupid flirt, I mean I've been avoiding him, his close relationship with Ivy has been vexing me even if it's none of my business" Wendy said

"He'll come around, there no way he'll leave you for Ivy, and he's famous, he probably has many girls to deal with and I'm sure he'll come to you soon" Isabella said

"Oh, I don't have many guys in my DM?" Wendy asked sarcastically

"I was just, you know?, forget it, he'll come around. Well, I'm sure we are gonna make a lot of sales this week-" the photographer cuts in

"Wendy it's time" he said

"I have to go" Wendy said to Isabella

Wendy changed to the fourth cloth and one more cloth to go and she will be done for the shoot for the day

"Lift up your chin a little bit" the photography said to her and she obeyed

"Perfect," the photographer said again.

She continued with her shoot and suddenly she saw him from the corner of her eyes, she quickly directed her eyes to him and back to the camera, not making him suspect he was the one, she couldn't have mistaken. It was Zion and he was staring at her looking as hot as ever, Zion was staring at her and he was unaware she caught him, she continued the shoot pretending he wasn't there even though it was hard, her heart broke into pieces when he turned to hug Ivy, one of the fashion designers in the company, she started suspecting that something was between both of them earlier that year and it started to look like her suspicions were true, she focused on the shoot and pretended she was okay.
