Before The Night Ends Chapter 1 1

"Next angle! Lean more to the left, Brazeal! Perfect! You look stunning there!" the photographer praised my poses.

I changed to a slightly see-through brown maxi dress and did a few more poses in it. Then the stylist decided to dress me in a floral-themed outfit for more options. Life as a supermodel here in Daty Magazines is full of surprises, and I'm always up for it. Daty Magazines feature famous local fashion brands. I usually model for the front covers of their magazine issues, which they also release abroad.

As one of their supermodels, my daily schedule is usually hectic. It's normal to see it packed with back-to-back shoots, fittings, and interviews from 8 in the morning to 9 or 10 in the evening. Getting home late and dead tired is not new to me anymore. But despite these, I'm always thankful to be booked and busy. The fashion industry can be very unpredictable and tough, I'm glad that I get to have these opportunities despite my condition.

"Okay, cut! That's a wrap! Good job, Brazeal. Come back tomorrow for the short interview before the mag's release next week, alright?" Mr. Cortez told me.

"Yes, Mr. Cortez." I answered with a smile. Shane, my personal assistant, escorted me to the dressing room. She gave me a long sleeve dress and a pair of strap heels to change into. Even though you're done with the shoot, you and your outfit still have to look good. The paparazzi will follow you all the time, and as a supermodel, you cannot afford to have an ugly photo of you taken. Your face, body, and fashion sense are part of your main assets in this industry.

Shane and I went straight to my Subaru van when we got out of the building. My driver started driving as soon as we all got inside. Shane instructed him to head to my condominium. This day is so tiring that I don't even have the strength to speak anymore, I just want to go home and lie in bed.

I bid my goodbye to Shane and the driver when we arrived in front of my condominium building. The driver will take Shane home, then he'll drive himself home. Shane doesn't stay with me because I want my own space after such a hectic day. I instructed the driver to bring the van to his house so he won't have to commute to my condo building everyday, he's also free to use the van whenever I don't have a schedule (which is a rare instance).

As soon as the door lock clicked, I practically sprinted to the shower. I remembered I still have emails to check while I was in the elevator going to my unit floor. I took a quick shower and put myself in a comfy pair of satin sleeping wear. My laptop was already placed on my working table because I was also checking emails before I left for work today.

I stared at my reflection in the black screen as it loaded. I do look beautiful, but contrary to popular belief, I'm still single at my age of 27. The paparazzi loves to make up stories about me being in a relationship. It's annoying, but sometimes I start to wish it was true. It'd be lovely to have someone with me in this lonely life.

It's not like I'm the no-boyfriend-since-birth type. I had a few during my teen years up to my twenties, but all of them ended for the same reason: They loved me because of my profile and money, not because of who I am. So when I start to demand for the love I actually deserve, they'll start to distance themselves and go MIA. We'll try to talk it out, but in the end they still choose to leave. I sighed as the screen finally lit up.

I opened my email inbox and checked the messages one by one. Some of them were journalists asking for an interview, modeling offers, fashion brand endorsement offers, then there were also requests for social media promotions from non-fashion brands. These should be received by my manager because she's the one who approves them, but fortunately, she's cool and kind enough to let me choose which projects and offers I actually want to take. But I still forward the emails to her to let her know or to get a second opinion. As I was scrolling through my inbox, I suddenly remembered the app Shane suggested earlier. It was a dating app. She said that's where she met Philip, her long-time boyfriend. They're going to celebrate their third anniversary this year and they're also planning to get married soon.

While the app was downloading, I went to the fridge to get a snack. It was a strawberry yoghurt and a glass of water. I can't eat food that are high in carbs to maintain my figure. The app was already installed when I got back to the table. I opened it and created an account. I used my nickname 'Binay' to conceal my identity. Only close friends call me that name.

"Mate, nice app and graphics. I hope I'll find my true love here," I said with a chuckle. I know that sounds crazy, but I'll never know if I never try.

The app's theme color is blue and wolf designs are all over it, that's probably why it's called "Mate." I chose a profile picture where my back is facing. I can't risk people in this app knowing my real identity.

I started searching for anyone I can talk to. It wasn't long before I found someone who looked interesting. Both of our profile pictures were facing back. He's probably hiding something too, I thought to myself. I sent him a 'hi' and waited for a reply. His username says "Poseidon_18," guess he's into Greek mythology.

I ate a spoonful of yoghurt as I waited for his reply. I pouted when I was already at my third spoon but he hasn't replied yet. My excitement's starting to fade but I didn't want to search for a new person. This app guarantees that users can meet decent potential partners through it. And I think that's true because it costs 200 USD per month and only allows 1 week of free trial!

Poseidon_18 is taking longer than I expected. His profile says he's online, though. I opened Facebook on another tab. I was about to start scrolling when the Mate app dinged and a 'hello' popped up. I immediately focused on my laptop to compose a reply.

"How are you? Are you a Filipino?" I said as I typed the words. He replied quickly this time and his response made me smile.

Poseidon_18: Yes, I am. A half specifically. Where are you from? I live in Parañaque. How old are you by the way?

I smiled at his way of typing. It looks so clean, it's as if he has life put together. I wonder what it's like to be his girlfriend.

"I live near, just within Metro Manila. I am also a Filipino, only 27 hehe. Are you single?" I typed. I have this weird habit of saying what I'm typing out loud. I don't know, it feels like I'm actually talking to the other person this way.

Poseidon_18: Typing...

I waited for his reply. He seems interested now. I'm glad we're interested in each other.

"Yeah, I am single for a couple of years now. I am already 30 but that's a good age gap for us hahaha. Do you mind if I ask your name?" I read his reply.

I thought about his question for a solid minute. He seems like a good man, just my type. But I can't risk my real identity. Not when I'm at the peak of my career in the industry. I chose to give him my nickname instead.

Binay: You can call me Binay. I'm sorry, I can't give you my name hehe.

I waited for his reply, but it's taking long once again. He's probably doing something at the moment. Or maybe he's not interested anymore because I didn't give him my name. I pouted in front of my screen.

The drowsiness was starting to kick in. I had a long day at work and it surely drained the life out of me. As much as I wanted to continue talking to him, I need to have my beauty rest now so I turned my laptop off. I guess I'll just talk to him tomorrow, I hope.

I put on my sleeping mask. It helps keep my skin flawless like that Korean glass skin trend. I also drank a glass of water because staying hydrated is the best way to have a glowing, healthy skin. No to sodas and juices because they might affect my metabolism.

I lie in my bed and turn down the air conditioning. The room gets too cold during dawn, which leaves me shaking, and I don't like that. I yawned as I put cucumber slices on my eyes.

"Time to rest~" I whispered to myself before finally letting sleep take me.

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
