《Desire ✓ - OLD VERSION》» Chapter Seventeen
Advertisement
I told Maryann that I would model her wedding dress for the fashion wedding runaway tomorrow .
Seth was distant he would come home and not even talk to me all day and would come out of his room for a important meeting barely giving me a greeting .
Olivia called me to her house so I can try on the main wedding dress she also told me that Hannah was modeling in the show too.
Once I reached Olivia's apartment I noticed there's about five girls walking around with brides dresses .
Olivia comes out with a measuring tape around her neck and a mannequin .
She sighs in relief as she drags me to my old room which I noticed she turned it into a designing room .
Desks adorned the walls with sowing machines and mannequins were cluttered against the walls .
About four girls were sowing frantically , fabrics all over the floor .
A phone rings and Olivia answers wiping sweat off her forehead .
" Yes ... Yes the dresses are getting ready Mrs Madden ... Mhmm... She's with me ... Yeah bye " Olivia hangs up and breaths heavily .
" I've been working my ass off since 5am and I cannot feel my fingers and my ears are ringing from these bratty models " Olivia says making me stand on a hard box measuring my waist .
" Could of called me I could've helped" I offered and Olivia snorts .
" Sorry but you can't sow for your life " Olivia says teasing and I rolled my eyes as she continues to measure me .

She's having the runway at her hotel which is the best hotel in New York alongside of Seth - Seth is top one of the best chain hotels .

My feet were killing me one of Maryann's designers kept making me change shoes from , Gucci , Jimmy Choos to the whole chain of designer shoes .
" Position !" Maryann yelled and we got in position .
Basically I was the shortest of them all everyone was about 5'7 , 5'8 and up and I stood at 5'2 .
I spotted Hannah her head held up high a bright smile planted on her red coated lips and I noticed she kept shooting me glares once .
We walked in our six inch heels and I fought hard not to stumble .
" Lydia honey keep your head up " Maryann smiled softly at me and went back to a stern look as she shouted at the other girls .
After the walkway the girls kept shooting me glares and whispering but I ignored them .
Maryann was really hard on them except for me which kind of makes sense .
I heard squealing and giggling and furrowed my brows turning to see Seth walking in giving polite smiles fixing his Armani suit .
His eyes search the room and he walks towards me his face stern .
He comes and gives me a soft kiss on my cheek making my heart jump .
" I just came to tell you that I won't be home today " he whispers in my ears .
" Why ?" I ask feeling everyone's gaze on me .
" Don't worry about it " he says .
I remember the words on the doors in my room and opened my mouth to tell him about it but his phone rings .
" I'll call you tonight " he says answering the phone and leaving the room the girls following his every move .

Ethan called me asking me out on a date .
Surprisingly I said yes , because Seth won't be home all day and I didn't feel like staying in a huge house with nothing to do .

He took me to the boardwalk and won me a lot of prizes and we went on a a lot of rides and him barfing after it .
" Work is not the same without you - and oh! Abby had twin girls " Ethan smiles and I beam .
" I am so happy for her " I smile as we leave the board walk my arms were full of cotton candy and bears .
Ethan checks the time on his watch and frowns " I have to go to work soon but I had a great day today " Ethan grins and I smile .
" Me too " I say and his smile fades as his face comes closer and I back away my cheeks flushed .
Disappointment and hurt flashed through his eyes and I sighed .
" I'm sorry Ethan but I can't do this here paparazzi's-"
" I know I get it " he says as we stop two blocks from Seth's mansion .
I frowned leaning over giving him a small kiss on the cheek he gives a small smile .
" I'll call you soon " I say leaving his car .
Once I reached to Seth's door the lights were on and I wondered why since mostly all the staff goes home at 10:00 at night .
I entered closing the door softly I heard steps coming down the stairs .
I froze not believing my eyes right now .
There Hannah was standing there in a hot pink silk robe her hair a mess and make up smudged .
" Hannah your forgot your purse —" Seth stops as he spots me standing by the door .
This is going to be interesting ...

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
