The entire world seemed to erupt in chaos at the revelation of Paula Maillet as Onyx. The frenzy consumed everything in its path as news outlets, social media platforms, and gossip blogs went crazy.
Every aspect of Lily's embarrassing fall on the runway, in contrast to Onyx's elegance, was caught on camera.
With her flowing gown, Paula gave off an almost otherworldly appearance, as though she belonged in heaven. The poised, angelic Onyx contrasted sharply with the flustered, trembling Lily.
Backstage, in the seclusion of her dressing room, Lily shook violently all over. She couldn't wrap her mind around what had just happened.
Her assistant, Angel, stood nearby, her face pale and eyes wide with shock. Lily's growing rage was palpable in the room's oppressive silence.
Lily clenched the hem of her shirt, her knuckles white. She swallowed hard, the dryness in her throat making it painful.
