Kim lazily picked her phone and answered the call

“who's this"

“madam it's me the person you instructed to keep an on Mr. Fredrick"

“oh right"

“i just sent to you a video...check it out"

kim ends the call and checks the video

“wait WHAT!!!!" she screams as she watches the video

“this can't be happening no No NO....he...her....." she was confused and disappointed No words could describe how she felt

“was this why he had been ignoring me ha!"

drops of tears fell from her eyes

she picked up her phone and called the person who had sent her the video

“how did you get the video"

“ma'am I know how to do my job" he boasted

“just tell me" she said loudly, feeling vexed

“well when Mr Fredrick wasn't at home I secretly went to his house to installed CCTV camera in all his rooms including his bathroom "

“how long has this being going on" Kim murmured to herself but the person on the other end of the line seemed to have heard what she said and replied

“ma'am this has been going on for a long time now, I have done my investigations on him, the relationship between them had been for years"

“wait what!!!" Kim's expression immediately changed from one of annoyance and disappointment to the one anger and confusion

“YOU KNEW ALL THIS BEFORE AND YOU DID NOT TELL ME!" she yelled at him

“well I did not want to tell you at first because I thought you might not believe me but at some point I had to tell you because you pay me well to do the job" he said plainly

“why won't I believe you"

“ma'am there were times I reported to you what Mr Fredrick was up to with that woman but you never really believed, so I started gathering evidence and the evidence of what he is doing behind your back is presented to you today, there are more"

“..."

“hello ma'am"

“..."

“ma'am? are you there"

Kim sobs quietly and ends the phone call.

3yrs ago Kim Quinn was a well known top model, but because of a man who she loved so much she give up everything she valued, she even gave her modeling job to that woman who she considered a friend

all for what!.

____One week later_____

Seated in a restaurant and waiting for that bastard to show up but he never did...she had wanted to confront him today.

A waitress that was passing by, walked up to her table and asked politely

“miss do you want to order anything?"

“...NO" she briefly answered

Just at that moment a woman elegantly walked into the restaurant, she had sunglasses on, was dressed in a lady's suit and stiletto heels, she had brown skin and her kinky hair was tied up in a bun.

She sat at her reserved table and took off her sunglasses

her assistant who was at the side sighed nervously

“ma, madam called"

“let me guess she call to remind me that I don't have a husband, she called to persuade me to get married, SHE called to question me of why I don't have a child, why I don't have a husband? so tell me assistant what did you tell her?" she asked nonchalantly

“I told her you were busy and could not talk at the moment, I recorded our conversation ma do you want to listen to it..." he replied

“no need" she said without much interest

“waiter waiter?!" she called for a waiter

“Monica Carla Williams" Kim called out her name as she walked up to her and sat opposite to her

Monica Carla Williams, a woman of high prestige, she was the CEO of MCW entertainment company.

“Kim Quinn" Monica also called out her name and cackled

“how have you been all this while" Kim asked politely

“better than you, you sn*tch!" Monica sarcastically answered

“..."

“waiter..." Monica called for a waiter

a waiter approached her and politely asked

“yes ma, what will you like to order ma!"

“I would like to order a glass of water to quench my thirst, the lady in front of me made me feel annoyed and angry, so I would like a glass of water to quench that anger"

“sorry ma, is this lady bothering you" the waiter asked out of concern

“do what I say now, go get me a glass of water!" she said furiously

“alright ma" the waiter left immediately to get a glass of water

“Monica I..." Kim tried to speak but Monica glared at her coldly

“hush! DID I TELL YOU TO SPEAK ME, the audacity you have to speak to me. huh?" Monica felt pissed out just by looking at Kim.

The waiter returned with a glass of water

“anything else ma'am " he placed the glass on the table

“No, for now" she waved him off, grabbed the glass of water and gulped down the water.

“you were saying? " she placed down the glass cup and stared at Kim indifferently

“I. Am. Sorry" Kim said sincerely.

“for what... for ruining my mood right now, for ruining the friendship six girls shared, for what...a man... are you sorry for ruining yourself...tell me what are you sorry for exactly " Monica indifferently questioned as she tilted her head sideways and continued to say“my guess is that you found out the bitter truth, the bitter way"

“I'm sorry for everything" Kim said while trying to hold back those salty tears streaming out from her eyes

Monica chuckled

“we warned you...I warned you... your family warned you...but you went ahead I did what's on your mind" she mocked her

“waiter!!" Monica called for a waiter

“yes ma?" a waiter answered

“get me a bottle of red wine, two glasses"

“yes ma"

“what do you want now" Monica asked Coldly

“us" Kim responded as a single drop of tear left her eyes, she immediately wiped her eyes

“us?" Monica pretended to not know what she was talking about

“I want the six of us back together"Kim said desperately.

In the past Kim had five friends, they had advised her leave that man, but she never listened and instead cut them off, but now she realized her mistakes, she wanted to get back with them, but...

“who said we separated? the five of us are still very much friends, but you are no more part of that friendship, we don't consider you as part of us again "

“here is your wine ma'am" the waiter returned with a wine and two glasses, placed it on the table and left

Monica poured wine in two glasses and handed over one glass to Kim

“you are lucky I don't really hate you, but that doesn't mean I forgive you"

Kim's eye lit up and she smiled

“doesn't mean that they forgive you too anyways cheers to you, at least you found out the truth at the end"

“cheers"

the two glasses clashed

“I want what i deserve" Kim said suddenly

“in other words you want revenge" Monica snickered

“in other words you want revenge"

“if you say so" Monica said as she waved at the waiter who served her, he walked up to her in quick steps. she handed over her ATM card to him, after she was done paying the bills she stood up and smirked at kim

“have a nice day dearie..." she Left with her assistant

Kim sat there like a loner, she looked around and noticed everyone was staring at her so she also stood up and left. She got into her car and at that moment she received a call from Joe Fredrick

that bastard...

“Kim where are you"

“at the restaurant we were supposed to meet up"kim replied casually, she so much wanted to confront him, but that will be too easy, he would probably deny or try to coax her

“Kim I'm sorry I couldn't turn up, but something had come up, Miya has an important show, I need you to substitute for her in the show, her makeup artist will provide for you a mask so you will be unrecognizable" he ordered

“what?" Kim acted confused

“Miya is currently in the hospital, yesterday night she was on her way home but had an accident... she is in a critical state at the moment, so you will have to cover up for her"he said

“she got an accident, the media is probably aware that she's in hospital"

“Yes they are already aware, I paid someone to spread the news that she will attend regardless of her injuries, now go to the venue quickly".

He was so annoying. In the past she had done stuff like this for that two faced bitch. It seems she had been to generous, Not anymore.

she said calmly “okay what's the time that the event starts and address"

“Kim we are about to get married, help Miya become famous for my sake"

“I will do what you say"Kim responded with a hidden agenda

“I will end the call now we will talk later"

Joe didn't know that the lady he had always used for his benefits had finally got back to her senses, he looked at Miya who was comfortably lying beside him. After the call ended Kim dialed her Manager's phone number.

Her manager answered “hey"

“he wants me to substitute for Miya" Kim went straight to the point without beating around the bush

“wait what ...the CEO wants you to step in for a low class model, is he serious, Kim I will keep telling you this, if you did not back out the spotlight that model would not have been able to archive what she has now"

“Lin I told him I would do it" Kim said casually

“is that really necessary?"her manager felt like she was going to have a heartbeat. Kim and Miya were model signed under JF entertainment, unfortunately for Kim's manager, when Kim had back out of the spotlight, she and Kim were dragged down and mocked.

Kim knew her manager was just trying to stand up for her so she said reassuringly “ don't feel bad or anything, I'm back to my senses, I will not let them benefit from me anymore"

Lin was a little surprised hearing those words from Kim, but then again it was better this way that she wasn't a gullible person “do you have a plan or something"

“Lin I want you to do something for me if you are willing"

“tell me what it is" Lin said as her eye lit up, she trusted Kim now that she knew they but shared a common goal

“my Darling Miya is so bent on convincingthe media that she will attend this show regardless of her injured state because she doesn't want it to negatively affect her eligible position in the Top Notch model's award...

now do me a favor and visit Health Hospital.."

“i know exactly what you want me to do ok..."

“Also help me prepare a statement that reveals how I was used from time to time as substitute for Miya, you will need to help me find evidence, as for the show I substituted for her"

Lin understand Kim's change of attitude. she was simply getting back at them for manipulating her, they cheated on her, ordered her around like she was a maid.

“alright I will help you with what you need"

Kim ended the call and started the car.

on her way to the venue she received a call from someone so she immediately parked her car on the side of the road

“ what now " she asked the person on the other end of the phone

“ma'am I have something I want to say" the man who Kim had hired to spy on Joe said quickly

“what is it about"

“last week we were on a call you ended the call so I couldn't tell you, I have been calling you but you never picked up"

“just tell me" she said impatiently

“it's about Mr Fredrick's, his lover is pregnant with his child"

Kim stayed quiet for some time which made the person feel that something was wrong.

“ma'am?"

“is that all? " she asked casually

“yes ma'am"

“you did well Darling I will send you a bonus"

“Alright ma'am" he said and Kim ended the call and grinned “interesting!"

she sighed heavily and started the car.

________________

The venue:

Kim arrived at the venue and met up with Miya‘s assistant, he was a man who with a cunning personality.

he looked at Kim and asked politely “ what took you so long come come!! the make-up artist is waiting for you" Through she was no longer an active model, her family was not at all average.

Kim asked as she had her makeup done

“what is the show about today"

“ the show is not big deal" the assistant replied plainly, but actually it was a big deal for Miya because after the show she would get the opportunity to sign a contract that officially makes her the spokesperson for That brand she was representing, however Miya should have lost this opportunity due to her accident but when Joe insisted on using Kim as a cover up, she did not object at all.

On her way to the venue, Kim had done her research on the show, it was about a jewelry made by J&P brand, so obviously the assistant had intensional said that it wasn't a big deal, was it so that she will not get envious...

about what?

“you will appear on the stage soon enough, that's the jewelry over there" the assistant said as he pointed at a jewelry on stage, he turned to the make-up artist and told him to do the make-up quickly.

Kim thought to herself did _he really think that no one will recognize her if she wore a mask_

she remained casual on the outside but deep down she was waiting for violence o'clock.

In the mean time, Carla's assistant who was instructed to keep an eye on Kim, reported to his Boss “ma it seems miss Quinn is representing a brand in place of another model"

“call Miss Hatts" she said

“alright ma"he immediately dialed a number on the phone and handed it to her

“yeah?"

“I have a favor to ask of you boss lady"she said while chuckling

“what's the matter about queen bee " the other person replied cheekily

“I need you to make an appearance in a show taking place, right now"she said casually

“I'm occupied at the moment" the person replied

“this is your chance to meet an old time Dearie friend" she said in a delightful high pitched voice

“tell me?"

___________________________

12pm

The show had already begun, music echoed in the atmosphere at the venue.

Standing in front of the mirror in the make-up room, Kim placed her hands behind her back and grinned under the mask she wore, she was cladded in an A line strapless long red gown, it matched with the glittering silver face mask she wore, her hair was tied up a messy bun and decorated with little red roses, she was absolutely gorgeous.

The assistant looked at her in astonishment and amazement, he was sure that Miya would get that contract, absolutely!!.

“you will appear on the stage by the time the lights are turned off alright... those are the rings you will wear, Blossom, Ruby, pearl" he gently wore them on her Fingers but they slipped out, this was due to the fact that Kim was slimmer than Miya, if she moved her finger anyhow if would easily slip away.

“give them to me" she said but he was a little reluctant

“do you trust me or not"

“at this point I will have to, there's no time" he said as he handed over the rings to her, he didn't want to mess up because if he did Mr Fredrick would deal with him seriously.

“it's time so go now!" he said not noticing the glint in Kim's eyes.
