"This Chantel's husband on the line. Call this number again and you're dead"
Kyle frowned so hard hearing the deep cold voice. Did he just call himself Chantel's husband? The call disconnected instantly after the cold warning.
"Who the fuck is he?" Kyle muttered staring at his phone. If Chantel is married, does that mean he doesn't have a chance?
Yulia walked into the room and he quickly pocketed his phone.
"Is everything alright?" She asked.
"Sure" Kyle said, he press his lips against hers dragging her waist close to himself.
Dominic dropped the phone after the call. He look back at Chantel who was currently sleeping on his bed. It felt strange for a while.
He had actually picked her phone since the call came in repeatedly, he thought was a business call only to hear some trash coming from Kyle.
He took one last glance of the lady sleeping before walking out of the room.
"Master, you have visitor. Your father is here" Sofia informed as he walked down the stairs.
Dominic walk towards the man sitting comfortably on the couch. This will be the first time he'll see him after the wedding.
"Father, how may I help you?" He went straight to the point. His father wouldn't have come here without any reason.
"Hm, how is everything Dom, it's been long I've heard from you"
"Everything is fine as you can see, what bring you here?" he replied.
Mr Steven inhaled sharply. "You knew about Chantel going back to that industry.. why didn't you stop her?"
Dominic knew this question is going to come.
"It's her life and her decision" he replied calmly.
"You know any scandal from her will affect your name. You are her husband you should be able to control her" Mr Steven said having a trace of anger in his voice.
"I think you're getting this wrong. She have the right to make her choice. I only did my job as her husband to help her out.." Dominic spoke calmly.
"If things turns out to be unrepairable, then I'll have no choice than to make you both divorce. It's just a business marriage after all" Mr Steven said while Dominic turn quiet.

"You have three minutes to get ready!" The director fired at Rana. They actually came a bit late and Rana is trying hard not to offend the director since it's their first job.
The director assistant was the one ho suggest to use Chantel since her work last two years was impressive. The director on the other hand have no idea who she is..
And what the silver company said about Chantel wasn't that impressive..
The director is known with his quite tempered attitude but his works are very professional.
Rana walked into the dressing room trying hard to compose herself. She doesn't want Chantel to know how angry the director was.
"Please make your work faster" Rana said to be the make up artist attending to Chantel.
"Is everything alright with the director?" Chantel asked. She actually came a bit late because of Dominic. She had made sure she watch him eat and use his medicine.
"Oh yes of course. The director just can't wait any longer" Rana answered.
The makeup artist was done after two minutes and couldn't help but compliment on her beauty. Chantel walked out wear a silver gown matching with the star light jewelries on her.
"Are you sure you are a model, what kind of pose is that, a monkey pose?.. even with so much practice, you can't even get it perfectly.. who the hell chose this model!!" The director fired at the model on stages. After so many trial, the model have no idea on what went wrong.
Chantel stopped and watch the scene calmly.
"Get out of there, you're just a disgrace!!" He fired at the poor model again who was about to break down in tears. She quickly get out of the scene covering her face.
The director's face calm a bit when he spot Chantel. Now he know the reason why his assistant chose her but how come he knows nothing about this model.
Remembering how late she was, his face turn cold again.
Other small models there couldn't help but get jealous over her beauty.
"We should do at least five practice before the shoot starts" The director said not wanting anymore disappointment.
Hearing how cold his voice is, Chantel exchange a look with Rana.
"There's no need for the practice Mr Will. We can go ahead with the shoot, I'm ready" she spoke fluently.
The director look up at her. Never had he seen a model this bold before. Her words shows how ready she was. Maybe she is not a bad model as the Silver company had said. Who is she really?
Other models scoffed at her reply. Is she serious right now? They waited for the director's reply.
"Are you sure? Any mistake from you might give me a very bad impression of you" The director said.
"Yes, I'm aware" she replied.
The director gave her a cue. Chantel walked elegantly to the spot set for her while the workers there set the camera and lights.
Is she serious right now?...
Another model is about to get scold, why wouldn't she practice her pose first?...
How ignorant, who is she by the way. She look familiar...
Other models began to gossip among themselves. Though, they were surprise by the director's action towards her.
The director demanded a classic pose from her. Chantel inhaled deeply and her expression change.
OMG!
The model waiting for a show but was shocked by her professional look.
Chantel stood like a boss lady revealing the jewelries which look like it was made for her.
Wait.. I don't think she is new at this..
Fuck! What's her name..
I love the Expression...
Rana smiled knowingly listening to the models gossips. Gosh! She missed this.
The director quickly took the shot afraid it might disappear anytime soon.
"Wow" he muttered giving Chantel a thumbs up.
He asked for another pose and she did it perfectly again beyond the way he could imagine. No mistake was made. Her posture and expression matches with everything he asked.
"Where did you get her?" He asked his assistant.
"She is Chantel the famous model two years ago" the assistant replied.
After shooting, the director couldn't help but clap for her.
Chantel could only smile as she walk towards him.
"What's the name dear?" The director spoke with care. Who wouldn't appreciate someone who made his work easier today without a stress.
"Chantel McCarthy, It's nice doing business with you Mr Will" Chantel said stretching her hand for a handshake.
"Same here, uhm.. I really love your job back there and I'd like to introduce you to more famous brand. You are born to be a model. I wonder why your company said you are not that good" The director said.
"Hm, I guess my skills are improving" Chantel replied trying not to show the anger that grow inside her.
The company left a bad comment about her... How shameful.
After a short talk with the Director, Chantel went to change her dress.
"That was awesome Chant. Your skills are the best" Rana said to her on her way home.
"Rana, I need you to do something for me" Chantel said.
"Of course" Rana said.
"How about we drag Marcus down from his position. He seems not to heed to my warning" Chantel said.
"You're talking about the bad comment they said about you right? They are sure disgusting. I just wish you can leave that company and find a better one" Rana said.
If Chantel hadn't manage to impress the director, then she will be humiliated..
"Leaving won't be cool. I wanna drag them down.." she said having a calm dangerous look.

Yulia was busy chewing her gum as she scroll down the comments on her page.
She just posted a picture of herself.
*Who does she think she is? A model.. in case you don't remember. Chantel was the one who gave you a ladder to make you get to where you are right now*
Yulia sat up when she saw this comment. "Who is this asshole?" She muttered having an upset look.
Whatever she does, she still can't be calm. The fact that Chantel is back still hunts her.
She picked her phone to call someone. "How did her shoot go?" She asked when the person on the other side picked.
"It went well.. she was even praised before everyone by the director" the person replied.
"You mean the same agressive director praised Chantel.. how did she manage to do it even with the bad comment the company left?" Yulia asked.
"I won't lie.. her work was impressive.. I also couldn't help but praised her inside"
Yulia didn't bother replying, she cut the call and threw it one side.
Phoebe walked into the room with a drink for her.
She mistakenly let the drink pour on Yulia.
"I'm so sorry.. I did...n...,
PAAAK!!!!
Phoebe eyes widened as her head tilted on side when a hot slap land on her cheek. She looked back at Yulia and bow to apologize again.
PAAAK!!!
Another slap land on the same cheek. Her lips bleed from it and her eyes teared up.
"I'm so sorry" she apologized even with the humiliation.
Yulia sat back down. "Kneel" she ordered. She is venting her anger on the poor lady.
Phoebe quickly do as she said. Yulia crossed her leg facing it before her.
"Now massage my foot" she ordered.
Phoebe exhaled deeply as she raised her hand and began to message it with some tears running down her cheek.

Dominic groaned throwing the remote one side. He is definitely not use to stay home without doing anything and this is just his first day.
Leaving home would mean offending that she-devil.
He picked his phone and called Enzo.
"Good afternoon boss" Enzo voice sounded through the phone.
"Hey Enzo.. uhmm.. how is it going over there?" Dominic asked hoping the company would need him.
"It's going great without you sir" Enzo replied leaving Dominic speechless.
He bite his lower lips thinking of what to ask next.
"What about the evening meeting by 3pm, you said must be there to attend it..
"I never said so boss. I can attend the meeting instead of you" Enzo replied.
Dominic cursed inwardly. Must Enzo be so honest?
"Oh, right. There's no trouble at all?" He asked just to be sure again.
"Yes boss.. everything is going smoothly without you. You don't need to worry" Enzo replied.
Dominic sighed and cut the phone. The house is damn boring.
Meanwhile, in the Sky company, Chantel smiled at Enzo when the call end.
"Good job" she said.
Enzo exhaled deeply. The work have been so hard for him. He can handle it but it was as if he is doing times three of his normal job.
"I'll make sure to pay you in five fold for your work just don't let Dominic come back to work. You know what will happen when you disobey" Chantel raised her brow.
"Right, I'll lose my dick if I disobey.. I understand miss" Enzo said awkwardly adjusting his glass. His boss wife is so scary with her words.
Rana chuckled on her spot.
"Good boy, wanna come out with me for lunch?" She asked.
Enzo shook his head. "My job will multiply if I don't attend to it soon" he declined politely.
"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow" Chantel said with a smile before walking away.
Rana tapped his shoulder. "Good job.. you're doing a great job" she said before following Chantel.
Enzo let out a frustrating breath after they left.
"Argh.. I think I'm gonna die without boss here" He said strolling around the office.
His phone rang afterward. He serious face return back as he picked the call.
"Hello" he answered.
After a while Enzo eyes widened like that of the moon hearing the news from the person.
Without wasting a moment, he stormed out of the office. He quickly dailed Dominic's number, he picked in just three seconds.
"Madam is in trouble" Enzo said quickly running towards the elevator.
Dominic whose eyes was closed flew opened instantly. He stood and frowned.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"It seems Gabriel is after her. I'm on my way to stop her, she just left the office" Enzo said.
Dominic grab his personal gun and stormed out of the mansion wearing his smooth jacket. He turned on his phone and checked Chantel's location.
He got into his car and drive out with speed.
Enzo got to the ground floor but couldn't spot Chantel or Rana anywhere.
"Where is the boss wife" He asked the receptionist.
"She just left three minute ago"
Hearing the reply Enzo stormed out but he was too late because the car Chantel boarded, left already.
"Oh no" he muttered entering on of the company's car.
Dominic couldn't help but feel the anxiety grow inside him. If anything dares happens to her then he doesn't mind killing a soul.
After a while Enzo car stopped when he saw a crowd, there seems to be an accident.
Enzo got down quickly and ran towards the scene with his breath shaking so back.
"Excuse me.. Excuse me" he said to the crowd on his way.
He breath halt when he saw the scene.
Meanwhile Chantel's location seems to stop moving. Enzo's call came in and Dominic picked up immediately.
"Did you find her?" He asked.
"Boss..."
Hearing the next word made Dominic speeden up his car. His breath turns shaky and bead of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
He got to the scene in no time and pushed everyone out of the way.
The scene before him made him pull his head turn. The car of of the victim was upside down as it keeps burning everything in it.
'No, it can't be' he thought shaking his head. He check Chantel's location and it correspond with the place he is.
He shook his head not believing what happened. He feels like going crazy any moment from now. He didn't realize when a tear dropped out from his eyes.
"Dom?"
A familiar voice called behind him and he slowly let go of his hair. He is not hearing crazy right?
He slowly turn and his eyes met with hers.
Enzo closed his eyes and breath in relief.
Chantel stood there with a confused look. Wait.. is that tears in his eyes. She look at the scene and realized what Dominic must have thought.
The accident happened before her car. Though it scared her but it didn't affect her.
Dominic took slow steps towards her afraid that she might disappear.
Chantel raised her brow Wondering what possessed him.
"What's with you Demon?" She asked.
Hearing this, Dominic dragged her by the arm and pulled her to himself hugging her tightly.
Chantel eyes widened...
