Bella's POV
I got there as fast as I could as I went through the back into where the clothes were kept as Anders and my secretary where also there
"I'm here"
I said as she gave a sigh
"What do we do? this was suppose to be the shows biggest dress for this collection"
She said as the dress was ripped at the bottom. I placed my hand on my head trying to calculate and calm down at the same time
"Calm down"
Anders said to me holding my shoulders as my head went blank
"I don't know what to do"
I said out loud as Eve walked in on a flowery gown
"Guys one hour to the show...Any problem?"
She asked like the devil she was
"Ooh, that looks bad...I think you should just cancel the show and give up, you don't want to be a.....disappointment or you can just admit I win the bet and all this is over"
She said to me as it occurred that she ripped it off as she gave a very hysterical laughter and left.
"That bitch"
cursed kela my secretary
"Give it to me"
I said as beating Eve became my new goal. I placed the gown on the table.
"Get me scissors "
I said in a very serious tune. The show began as Anders went over and started the event. from where I was I heard him give the opening speech, the models were ready and the show began
"And now we present ECHO'S newest collection of the season I Present Majesty"
He said as the models started coming out one after the other. After a while I went out and joined them backstage as my secretary looked at me
"What about the dress?"
She asked as I bent over checking the views we have online.
"Ma'am our views have risen, over a hundred thousand people are watching"
He said as my eyes widened and Anders gave a quick laugh
"Congrats"
He said as I smiled back, he gave me the idea of what to do with the dress, even if I was mad at him he was still there which was nice. After the the display, it was time for the final dress, the model came out in a gold fled tail gown, it was supposed to be a full length gown but I had the idea of cutting off ripped part and Anders gave me
the idea of making it into a tail gown instead, the model gracefully walked down the runaway as the audience went wild with her outfit my parents for the first time looked very very proud of me. After the event I stood at the entrance greeting and bading guests goodbye as my parents came to me.
"Bella, I am so proud of you"
Said mom as she gave me a big hug
"Thanks mom"
I said as dad also hugged me
"Good job Belladonna, for the first time you made me proud enough to call you a true Trussardi, good work my dear"
He said as I hugged him back
"Thanks dad, where's Orchid?"
I asked as they looked at each other
"We will talk about that in the morning"
He said
"Is she alright?"
I asked because it was unusual for Orchid to miss out on important family business
"She is honey, just a little something"
"Congrats Sis"
Said Ivy and Catherleah who just came out in a blue gown and black heels
"Thanks girls"
I said with a big smile
Mom said as she tapped my cheeks and they left in their car with Ivy and Catherleah as Eve and Fallon alongside Paris came out
"Aunt Bella, congratulations"
He said ashe huggrd me and I him, he was growing taller everyday
"You're growing taller everyday"
I said with a smile as she touched his head in a shy manner
"I'm not that tall"
He said in a shy tone as he left to the car waiting for Eve
"Seems like I won't the bet"
I said in a teasing manner
"What bet?"
Asked Fallon as Eve looked at him and back to me
"You didn't know? we made a bet and"
"So you used me"
Said Fallon, yes that wasn't intention, I used him approve all the designs in time to be able to win the stupid bet, that was why I agreed to the truce, if we were at war, he would help Eve win which didn't want but I didn't want him to find out this way, all thanks to my big mouth who couldn't wait to rub it in her facw that I won.
"Fallon, I didn't mean it like this"
I said to him.
"It was too good to be true that you agreed to my proposal"
He said already angry
"Fallon, wait I can explain"
"Don't bother"
He said as he walked out and Eve gave a laugh
"Even if I didn't win the bet, this is more than okay"
She said as I turned to her
"I won't do here's the deal, you're gonna tell mom and dad tomorrow how you tried to sabotage my work"
I said as her eyes widened
"No"
"You don't get to choose, do it and I may just let the remaining part of the bet go"
I said as I walked out on her. I messed up I know but I did not ever imagine it would hurt him this way, it was just me having the urge to win. I rested on my car as Anders walked up to me on his extremely hot blue suit, he rested on my car also as he gave a sigh.
"I'm sorry, for what I said at the hospital, I never meant it the way I did"
He apologized
"I know and I may have overreacted"
"May have?"
He asked
"Don't..Push it"
I said as we both gave a chuckle
"Are you going home?"
He asked
"No, Fallon is mad at me,I messed up again"
I said as he turned to me
"Do you want to come to my house?"
He asked as my mind had already traveled far
"I meant for a drink"
He said as I smiled and gave a nod. We went with his car and he drove me over to his house, I sat on in his living room as he came back with a bottle of wine for us and two wine glasses. He took off his suit jacket, showing off his hot muscles as he opened the bottle and poured drinks for us, I took off my shoe as I took the glass he offered me.
"Thanks"
I said as he sat beside me
"Are you always this nice?"
I asked him
"Why are you always calling me nice?"
He asked as he sat back looking at me
"Well.....because you are, you don't even have the stomach for anything bad or illegal"
I retorted
"Is that what you think?"
He asked
"Yep and I don't think so, I know so"
"Well, I'm not that nice"
He replied taking a sip from his drink
"Are you even human?"
I asked as he nearly choked on his drink
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing"
I said as I took a sip from my drink and I started teasing him
"Mr Nice guy, it suits you"
I said as he stopped talking, placed his hand on his face as he tilted his head just starring at me as it began to feel a little awkward, I'm not the type to get shy or awkward about something or anything but this time it was different.
"Are you okay?"
I asked trying to avoid making eye contact
"Call me nice one more time"
He said like a dare
"Is that a dare?"
I asked
"Yes, I dare you"
He said in a husky voice and smirk up his cheek
"Mr.Nice.guy?"
I said rather slowly as his eyes darkened as he pulled me close, placing his lips on mine.
