"I feel like I'm being transformed into someone else….a polished ,perfectly poised version of myself that doesn't feel real." I said in my mind.
The day passed in a blur of preparation. Michael had arranged for a team to help me get ready. I feel like a celebrity due to getting ready for our first public appearance as a "couple."
Stylists, makeup artists, and PR consultants flooded into the penthouse, each one focused on perfecting my look, my story, my role in Michael's life. This was so overwhelming, to say the least.
The dress chosen for me was a red, elegant and expensive outfit, completely unlike anything I would have picked for myself. The makeup looks flawless on my face with my hair styled to perfection. But as I stare at my reflection in the mirror, I can barely recognized the woman looking back at me.
This isn't who I am. This is who Michael needs me to be.
