It was Fashion Week and tonight's event is the culmination of the entire fashion week. They were riding together since Hal rented a limousine for them.
Just because they would be drinking and he wanted to make sure that Williams would come.
Williams's phone rang. "Hello?"
"Liam, are you coming to the fashion show?" His sister, Winona asked.
"Yes I was invited," He said.
"I am going too," she said, "Can I ride with you?"
"No, you can't," Williams asked, then, he frowned. "how did you secure an invitation?"
"I know people," she replied casually.
"If you are gate crashing, I am telling you right now, this is not the way to go," Williams warned.
"No, I am not, I swear!" She said loudly.
"Winona, I have been dealing with your shit every single day, can you at least have some decency?" He emphasized, getting annoyed with his little sister.
"Ah, don't worry about it, I won't make a scene if they don't," she said arrogantly.
"And if you do, I will make sure father disowns you," Williams said in a clipped tone.
"Don't you dare!" Winona said loudly.
"Then, whatever you are thinking, don't," Williams said, "are you almost done with school?"
"Listen, I have to go, someone else is calling, bye." She hurriedly said just to thwart her brother from scolding her.
She had changed majors like she would change clothes and he doesn't get it why his parents condone her so much when they didn't with him.
His phone rang again. "Hello Ivy?" He answered.
"Can you pick me up from the airport tomorrow? I am coming home!" Ivy said excitedly.
"What? Your treatment isn't done yet, I just spoke to the doctor a week ago." Williams said, surprised at the news.
"Oh no, he said I was fine just yesterday," Ivy stated confidently.
"Oh, okay, if I am not able to then I will let the driver pick you up, okay?" Williams stated.
"But I want you to pick me up, didn't you miss me?" Ivy said sulkily.
There was a knock at the door. "Yes, Butler Alex?" Williams said.
"Masters Amir and Hal are here already," the butler stated.
"Listen Ivy, I have to go, I will see you if I can tomorrow," Williams said as he started walking down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" She inquired sweetly.
"Some event you don't need to worry about, okay? Just have a safe flight," Williams stated, "I will talk to you soon, alright?"
"Okay," Ivy said as she frowned on the other end of the phone.
Ivy found it interestingly upsetting that ever since that Addison divorced Williams, he started drifting away from her.
First, he sent her to get treatment.
It was great that Williams paid for the doctor's expenses however she could observe the stark difference with the way Williams treated her.
Secondly, he promised her that he would visit her and yes he did but only because he had some business to attend.
Thirdly, there was hardly any phone calls from him and she detests it so much. However, she had been talking to Williams's little sister just to find out if he is dating anyone, well he was not because he was just drowning himself with work.
Plus, it was Ivy's time to shine, well because it's about time to make Williams realize that he is forever indebted to his dead best friend and that he was supposed to be married to her right now.
It sounded a perfect plan anyways, beside Addison isn't anywhere to be found plus she was supposedly recovered from her sickness.
The omega immediately dialed Winona's number.
"Hello Winona."
"Hi Ivy," She said.
"Remember what we talked about, if an omega talked to Williams, you make a distraction okay?" Ivy said.
"I know, and remember, you are supposed to buy that limited edition Rolex," Winona reminded him.
"Bought it, giving you when I arrive there."
"You are the best!" Winona exclaimed.
Ivy just rolled her eyes and fake smiled, as if forcing her voice to sound sweet as it should, "and you are the best, you will be the best sister-in-law, ever."
"I know, right? Anyway, I will leave, I will see you, okay?"

Addison stood at the backstage fixing Dalton's outfit.
"You look amazing! I am so proud of you!"
"You too, Addie, too bad you are not walking the ramp tonight," Dalton pinched his little sister's nose.
"Aaaahhh, stop it. I walked the ramp on Wednesday, remember?" Addison said as she pinched her brother's nose.
"You are glowing though." She remarked as he fixed his jacket, "have you met anyone?"
"Ahh, shush, it's what you call adrenaline," Dalton rolled his eyes.
She chuckled, "Whatever!"
"And why did you dress sloppily Addi?"
"I am not the star of the show, come on, you are," Addison said as she rubbed her hands, "it's freezing!"
Dalton placed his coat as he warmed his hands, "yes, it's so cold."
The fashion designer was rushing, "everyone, places, we are about to start!"
"Break a leg," Addison said as she peeked, looking at the sea of faces "it's packed!"
"Well, it's the main event, duh!" Dalton stated haughtily as he went to his spot.
The designer rushed in to the back and stretched his neck while the floor manager lined the models to await their turn.
"When are you walking?" Addison asked.
"I think towards the middle, don't want to walk in the beginning because I would be needed to change for another outfit."

Amir, Hal and Williams walked inside the with a few minutes left before the show begins.
Amir remarked as they walked toward their seats, "hoping to meet single omegas here."
Hal then piped in, "not just you, me too."
He said as he looked at Jeongguk, "well, we'll treat you as a wallflower, how about that?"
Williams just smiled, happy that his friends are wanting to get into a relationship, or maybe not.
They rushed to their seats as the lights flickered.
"You guys ready to see this?" Amir said, he then nudged his elbow at Williams, "you'll enjoy this, I know."
"Whatever !"
"Whatever," Hal mimicked, "what if Addison starts walking and you'll be surprised?"
"I will have a heart attack if I see her here, I am not prepared." Williams looked at them both before the light dimmed, "she's not going to be because, she disappeared out of thin air," He said, finally admitting defeat.
"Ssssshhh...." The people in front of them hushed them.
Amir made a face and Williams quietly snickered with Hal.
Hal then whispered with him, "I just hope you'll enjoy tonight."
Williams nodded, smiling at his friend.
The spotlight turned on towards the catwalk and the models started walking.
"What is this fashion week for?" He asked.
"Autumn/Fall Collection," Hal stated, his eyes not leaving the models walking on the catwalk.
"Do you know who that is?" Hal asked the two of them.
"Oh, he is an international model, Dalton?" Amir responded.
"Wow, he is very good looking!" Hal stated.
Williams was looking at the models parading in front of them with lack of interest.
What is there to be interested with because in fact, he has enough clothes to last him a lifetime.
Then the music changed to a more jazzy tune, with Hal leaning towards him, saying, "it's the last set."
"Finally," Williams said finally sitting up from his chair and trying to pay more attention to the models.
Then a gasp erupted from the crowd.
Williams leaned forward, because there were murmurs in the crowd about the model who started walking was a female. A known upcoming international female model.
Williams scooted from his seat and leaned forward.
"Addi is here," someone said.
Who the hell is Addi?
And then the person stopped and made a full turn where they were seated at.
He gasped.
His heart skipped a bit because he knew those eyes. Addison, those are Addison's eyes.
And the moment their eyes met, he knew that he definitely needed to win her back.
