Chapter 216 – Wedding Planning

After the huge success of the Gucci campaign, Gustavo and Kendall spend the day relaxing at home, watching the reactions of the media and fans. News about the couple continues to dominate social media, and they receive praise from all sides.

Kendall (smiling): "I think people really loved the campaign, don't you think?"

Gustavo (laughing): "Yeah, it seems like we're everywhere now. I don't think I've ever seen so much attention."

They look at each other for a moment, still in disbelief at the success they are experiencing, not only in fashion, but also in their personal lives. It is then that the subject of marriage comes up again, something they had discussed before, but which now seems more real than ever.

Gustavo (calm): "You know, honey, I think it's time we started thinking seriously about our wedding. Now that things are calmer, we can finally focus on it."

Kendall (sighing): "I agree. But with all this craziness going on, I don't know if we have time to plan everything ourselves."

Gustavo: "I was thinking... What if we let our families take care of the planning? They know our tastes and can take care of the details better than we can at this point."

Kendall stops to think, and a smile soon appears on her face. The idea of ​​letting the families take control of the planning sounds perfect, especially with the support of Kris, who has always been impeccable at organizing big events.

Kendall (excited): "You're right! My mom loves organizing parties and events, and I know your parents will want to participate too. I think it will be very special for them."

After agreeing that letting their families plan the wedding would be the best option, Gustavo and Kendall decide to call João, Leila and Kris to announce the news and start planning the wedding.

Gustavo (on the phone with João and Leila): "Dad, Mom, Kendall and I decided that we want to get married in November... Yes, in six months."

Leila (excited): "Oh, my son, that's wonderful! And do you already have an idea of ​​what you want?"

Gustavo: "That's why I'm calling. We want you to help plan the wedding. We think it will be more meaningful if our families are part of everything."

João (laughing): "You can rest assured, my son. We know your tastes well. It will be the wedding of your dreams."

While Gustavo talks to his parents, Kendall is on the phone with Kris, who is visibly excited about the news.

Kris (excited): "Finally, my daughter! I'm going to start planning everything. Don't worry, your parents and I will take care of every detail. The wedding will be perfect."

Kendall (laughing): "I know, mom. We trust you and Gustavo's parents completely. We just want it to be special and... intimate."

Kris: "You can rest assured, it will be a beautiful event worthy of both of you."

After their conversations, Gustavo and Kendall sit on the couch, relaxing. They talk about how relieved they are to have their families involved and how excited they are for the future.

Kendall: "You know, I'm so glad we're letting them plan. Our lives are so full right now, and this is going to be special for them."

Gustavo (hugging Kendall): "That's true. Plus, we know they'll take care of everything with love."

Kendall (laughing): "And we have to admit, my mom is the best when it comes to planning events. I'm curious to see how she's going to organize this with your parents."

Gustavo: "I can't wait to see how it turns out. And in November... we're finally getting married."

Chapter 217 – Donatella Versace's Surprise Invitation

After a relaxing day full of wedding plans, Kendall and Gustavo are in their apartment in Los Angeles, discussing the details that João, Leila, and Kris have already started sharing about the big day. Everything seems to be going well. Kendall is on the couch when her cell phone rings. On the screen, the name Donatella Versace appears.

Kendall (answering with a smile): "Donatella! What a nice surprise! How are you?"

Donatella (in an excited tone): "Kendall, honey, I'm great, but I need to talk to you about something important. We're preparing a very special fashion show for two days in Milan, and I wanted to know... would Gustavo be available to walk for us?"

Kendall is surprised, but at the same time excited. She looks at Gustavo, who is relaxing in the armchair next to her, and realizes that this could be a great opportunity for him.

Kendall (smiling at Gustavo as she answers Donatella): "Wow, that's amazing, Donatella! I'll ask him right now. I'm sure he'll be very honored."

As soon as she hangs up the phone, Kendall turns to Gustavo with an excited smile. He can tell something big is coming.

Gustavo (curious): "What's up? It sounds like you got some good news."

Kendall (excited): "You're not going to believe it! Donatella just called me and wants to know if you can walk in the Versace show in two days in Milan. What do you think?"

Gustavo is silent for a moment, absorbing the news. He's worked as a model in a few campaigns, but a show for one of the biggest fashion houses in the world is something else entirely. And the opportunity to walk for Donatella Versace is a huge recognition.

Gustavo (surprised and honored): "Wow, that's... amazing! Of course I'll do it! Versace? In Milan? I can't pass up this chance!"

Kendall (laughing): "I knew you'd like it! I'll call Donatella back and confirm. Get ready, honey, because in two days we'll be on the runway!"

Kendall quickly calls Donatella back to confirm Gustavo's participation in the show.

Kendall: "Donatella, I just spoke to him. Gustavo is super excited and accepted the invitation! He'll be walking for you."

Donatella (enthusiastically): "I'm so happy, honey! He's the perfect fit for what we're planning. It'll be an honor to have him on our runway. See you in Milan in two days, then. I can't wait to see you two!"

After the confirmation, Gustavo and Kendall start preparing for the trip to Milan. Although Gustavo is used to big events, this will be his first time walking for a renowned brand like Versace, and he wants to look his best. Kendall, on the other hand, is a veteran of the runway and is keen to help him prepare.

Gustavo (joking): "So, honey, any tips for someone who is walking for Versace for the first time?"

Kendall (laughing): "Just be yourself, confident and relaxed. You already have everything you need. And I'll be there supporting you."

Gustavo (smiling): "With you by my side, I don't think there's any way it can go wrong."

They pack their bags and, two days later, they're ready to leave for Milan, where Gustavo will take a big step in his career in the fashion world.

Chapter 218 – Preparation

With the invitation to walk for Versace accepted, Gustavo finds himself in a moment of great anticipation. He knows that this is a unique opportunity in his career in the fashion world, and he wants to be in the best physical and mental condition for the big day. So, Gustavo intensifies his daily workouts, combining his exercise routine with the heavy physical training he has always maintained since his days in the Special Forces.

He starts waking up earlier, including more resistance exercises, stretching and even boxing sessions to keep his body in shape and his focus sharp.

"This show will be an opportunity not only to show my side as a model, but to open even more doors in the fashion world. I know that with dedication, everything will work out. Just like in the days of the missions, everything needs to be in the right place."

Even with the focus on the show, Gustavo does not neglect his security company, which has proven to be a great success since its launch. He receives daily reports from the management team, and in his spare time between training sessions, he makes a point of analyzing customer feedback.

The company has already signed contracts with the police, celebrities and even political authorities. Gustavo is proud of the team he has assembled and the people he has personally trained, who are now operating at peak performance.

Paulo: "Gustavo, the latest evaluations of our security services are excellent. Customers are praising the quality of our agents' training. We have more requests for consulting and private security contracts."

Gustavo (pleased): "That's great, Paulo. I knew the team was ready to deliver the best. I want to make sure we keep up this pace. Security is something we take very seriously, and every customer needs to feel that they are in good hands."

He reviews the reports and sends quick messages to customers, thanking them for their positive feedback and assuring them that the quality of the service will remain high. In the evenings, Gustavo and Kendall share their routines.

She is also busy with her modeling and campaigns, but they both find time to be together and exchange experiences about the fashion world. Kendall, being a veteran, offers Gustavo valuable tips about the show.

Kendall (smiling): "You're training more than I am before a show. I've never seen you so focused."

Gustavo (joking): "Well, you know how I am. I always give 110% in everything I do. And with Versace, it can't be any different."

Kendall (laughing): "It's going to be a big day, and you're going to rock it. I'm proud of you."

As Gustavo intensifies his physical and mental preparation for the show, he also reflects on the rapid growth of his security company. In just a few months, he has managed to expand the reach of the business significantly, with important contracts and a well-trained team. He acknowledges that balancing his career as an entrepreneur, model and actor is not easy, but he knows that everything is moving in the right direction.

"Every step I take, whether as a businessman or a model, is a reflection of everything I've learned throughout my life. I'm creating something solid, something that's recognized not only in Brazil, but all over the world. And now, with this show, I'm going to show a new side of my versatility."

On the last day before leaving for Milan, Gustavo does a final training session and a quick review of the company's new contracts. Satisfied with the progress in both areas of his life, he feels ready for the next challenge: the Versace catwalk.

Gustavo (to himself, looking at the city skyline): "Now it's time to shine on the catwalk. Everything is in the right place. Let's make history."
