When Fiere vans finished his speech, Damien was glad to see that he was in good health. He had feared the man would not want to venture into fashion designing
But again, he had designed for SERENT, so there was no harm in trying to get him to design for other companies
when the show started, he was immediately amazed by the outfits past like everyone else
Thank God, we came out for the show. I can’t believe I was going to miss this vera exclaimed, her mouth open as she watched the models.
“Exactly, Mother, Tanteel my sensextingling. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such exquisite designs before!” Rina breathed by her side, hereyes wide as she took in even detailed the outfits being paraded by the models on the runway.
Sumptitiously, she brought out her iPhone and took a few pictures, as the models went by. She caught Damien glaring at her when she looked up, and gave him a

Damien’s jew tensed and a muscle twitched in it as he returned his attention the show. Its not like he could really stop her from copying the designs. The coverage. of SERENE fashion show would be posted on the internet for all to see.

Some companies were definitely going to try to model their designs after Pierre’s own bot
Piere to design for MAGIC himself.
“And to think that SERENE has all these designs” Vera uttered bitterly, her nose tumed up in distaste as she clashed Damien an annoyed look “we must get Pleme to design for us before the season mms out! I know that’s why you agreed for us to come here …‘
“Mother, Please!” Damien growled in exasperation and that shut his mother up. She pursed her lips in Indignation like a spoilt child, and stared fixedly ahead of
The overhead lights changed as well as the music and the announcer’s voice boomed over the speakers,
“And now for the grand Finale)”
Everyone leaned forward in their seats as they waited for the model with the finale dress to appear. When she finally appeared and walked down the ramway musically, her head held high, a hush fell over the audience.
They were stunned into silence at the beauty of what they were looking at. The dress was sensational, with the lights playing over every angle of it, catching the intricate beadwork on it. They glittered like real diamonds, reflecting the lights directed on it.

wd were as stunned over the dress as they were over the model. This was supposedly Pierre’s goddaughter and some wondered if she really were a model. Because that face was not one to forger easily. A model as exquisite as this would be a top model, bagging all the contracts for entertainment companies all over the city but no one recognized her.
As soon as the model appeared around the comer and walked down, Damien’s eyes narrowed in uncertainty as he stared at her
suddenly, it hit him, and he leapt to his feet. That fiery red hair, and soft green eyes.
Vera and Rana
His eyes widened in surprise and his breath lodged in his throat, as he stood up quickly, the watched her in a daze as she walked past him on the runway.
He breathed in disbelief, unable to take his eyes off her.
“What? What is it, Danien? Do you know her? Vera asked, tugging at his hand but Damien was still staring fixedly at the model wearing the dress. V followed his gaze and they groped in surprise as they recognized the model
There was no way they’d ever forget that face kept now they were stupefied by her beauty and elegance.
And to think, she was on the runway as Pierr Evans‘ poddaughter and wearing Pierre’s finale dress!

Lana had actually managed to steal Damien’s heat before she left. No wonder, Damien had been cold to her this live years, tuining her plans.

Lana’s breathing became ragged and she clutched her dress to keep from trembling
Her heart wrenched with pain at the sight of those two together and Lana was astonished she could still feel this much pain after five years.
Was she not over him after all?
With great effort, she winched her eyes away from his and continued making her way towards the backstage, trying her possible best to remain as calm and composed as she had in the beginning.
As soon as she rounded the comer, an applause erupted behind her. The staff all gathered round, clapping and telling her how she was amazing back there
Lama was oblivious to all of this. The image of Damien and Rina together brought back all the memories she had buried five years ago. How they’d treated her and how she’d lost her child.
Suddenly, the air became o that shook badly

“I need to get out of here! She thought frantically as the door burst open and Clarissa appeared.
“Lana, what’s wrong?!” clarissa sald but Lana gave her no beed. She quickly donned the dress she had wom to the show, an aqua green number, with a cinched waist and a flared skim that stopped above her les
“Lana, what’s going on?” Clarissa asked again, distressed at her frantic behavior. She had seen Lana she’d seen a ghost
in the middle of the runway and her expression was like
a gorgeous hunk of a man but she needed no soothsayer to tell
Clarissa had followed her line of gaze and stared at the man Lana was looking at so fixedly. He was a p her that Lana was nor fixated by his beauty
This had to be her Ex–husband, Damien Romer
Was that guy your ex–husband, the one with the golden locks?” Clarissa asked once more, grabbing Lana’s shoulder so she could look into her face but Lana avoided her eyes “Lana, stop this!
Frustrated, Clarissa yelled at her but Lana only shook her head
“I June to go. Let’s just leave, Clarissa” she muttered, staring at the door as though expecting Damien to appear any
minute.
“But why?” danssa replied in exasperation “I thought you were over him, girl. So why are you running out with your tail between your legs?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” Lana growled as she shot Clarissa a fierce glas “I’m not running away! I just can’t stand seeing him again, after everything I endured at his hands!”
“Exactly!” Clansia agored firmly, still holding Lana by her shoulder and shaking her “The Lana I know, is not a coward. You endured so much at their hands and now you’re back! They will have to reckon with you now!”
Lana blinked back tears as her breathing slowed down, Clarissa was right. She was done with ninning away from her past.
Damien had no bold over her. But the sight of Rina had brought back emoties she had long forgotten and which they should be accounted for.
She had lost her unhold hands and her love was stepped upon bile dict. This was no time to be running away.
