A young designer from Palawan, Salvin, finds her talent thrust into the spotlight at Anthills, a powerful fashion house. Kelvin, the son of the owner, is captivated by her skills. But in a world of ambition and betrayal, will their connection survive the pressures of the runway?
Chapter 1 Hello Palawan
In the beautiful island of Palawan, a young girl named Salvin stood tall and proud. Her smooth, fair skin glowed in the sunlight, and her almond shaped eyes sparkled with a natural blue color. Her silky brown hair down over her shoulders, and she wore a stunning red dress that made her
look like a pretty angel. Salvin had a big dream, she wanted to become a fashion designer. But her mom, Mila, didn't
approve of her choice. "I want you to become a doctor, Salvin." She would say. "Designers don't
earn much money." Salvin's family was loving and supportive, but her mom's disapproval made her feel frustrated. She had three siblings, Seth, Hency, and Zoe and they all looked up to her as the eldest child. **
Meanwhile, in a wealthy part of town, lived Alice and Alfred, a perfect couple with a successful
business. Alice owned a famous fashion brand called Anthills, while her husband ran a thriving
banana company. Their son, Kelvin, was handsome and talented, with a flawless complexion
and stylish hair. Kelvin's parents wanted him to take over the family business one day, and he was happy to
oblige. **
One day, Salvin excitedly showed her mom her latest fashion designs. But Mila was
unimpressed. "Salvin, you need to forget about fashion designing and focus on becoming a
doctor," she said. Salvin was heartbroken. "But mom, fashion designing is my dream!" she protested. Mila sighed
and put her hand on Salvin's shoulder. "Salvin, you need to be practical and think about your
future." Salvin felt frustrated and ran out of the room, leaving her mom alone. Mila wondered why her
daughter couldn't just listen to her and do what she wanted. **
Meanwhile, Alice was impressed by her son Kelvin's fashion designs. "Kelvin, you're so talented!" she exclaimed. Kelvin beamed with pride, happy to have his mom's approval. **
The next morning, Salvin greeted her dad, Aaron, with a frown. "Good morning, dad," she said. Aaron asked her what was wrong, and Salvin told him about her mom's disapproval of her
fashion dreams. Aaron reassured Salvin that he would talk to her mom and try to resolve the issue. Salvin felt a
little better, but she knew it wouldn't be easy to convince her mom to support her dreams. **
At the Anthills fashion brand, Alice arrived at the office, greeted by her receptionist, Gab. The
office was modern and stylish, with a beautiful reception area and a producing department. Alice walked into her office, ready to start her day, unaware of the exciting events that were
about to unfold. **
Salvin's sister, Zoe, walked into the room where Salvin was sitting. "Sister, mom said we should
pick some grapes from the garden later today." Salvin looked up and said, "Let's do it now, so we
can rest later." Zoe nodded and went to call their siblings, Seth and Hency. Meanwhile, Mila visited her friend Becky, who lived nearby. Mila sat on a wooden chair, sipping
coffee, and complained to Becky about Salvin. "I don't know how to handle Salvin. She's so
stubborn. I want her to become a doctor, but she keeps talking about fashion designing. I don't
want that for her, but she won't listen." Becky tried to advise Mila. "You can't force Salvin to do
what you want. Let her follow her dreams." Mila explained that she wanted Salvin to become a
doctor because of their financial situation. Becky understood, but she still believed that Mila
should support Salvin's choices. **
At the same time, Kelvin and his mom, Alice, were having a fun day at home. Kelvin was flying a
kite, while Alice worked on some documents. But when Kelvin ran to join his mom, he tripped
and fell, hurting his leg. Alice rushed to his side and screamed for help. **
Back at Salvin's house, Salvin tried to talk to her mom, but Mila was still angry. "Can you just get
out of my sight?" Mila yelled. Salvin's dad, Aaron, intervened and asked Mila why she was yelling. Mila stormed out of the room, leaving Salvin and Aaron alone. Salvin asked her dad if he had
talked to her mom about her fashion dreams. Aaron apologized for forgetting and promised to
talk to Mila soon. **
At the hospital, Alice sat beside Kelvin's bed, holding his hand. Kelvin was worried that he might
not be able to walk again. Alice reassured him that he would be fine. But when Kelvin asked if
his dad knew about his accident, Alice hesitated. She didn't want to disturb his dad's work. Kelvin felt upset and asked his mom to leave. Alice apologized and promised to do anything to
make Kelvin happy. But Kelvin just wanted her to leave. The doctor intervened and asked Alice
to step outside. Alice told Alfred about Kelvin's accident, via a phone call, and he quickly rushed to the hospital. When he arrived, he saw Alice at the reception and asked her where Kelvin was. Alice told him
Kelvin was in ward 14. As soon as Kelvin saw his dad, he got excited and tried to stand up. But Alice held him back, telling him to stay in bed. Alfred scolded Kelvin for being careless, but Alice defended him, saying it was just an accident. Kelvin asked his parents if they were fighting, but Alice just sighed and left the room. Alfred sat
down on the couch and started checking his phone while Kelvin fell asleep. **
Meanwhile, Eliza, the CEO of Tela fashion brand, was in her office, making plans for a fashion
show. She told her manager, Elon, to start making arrangements for the show, which would be
held on the same date as Anthills fashion brand's show. **
Back at the hospital, Kelvin woke up and asked his dad where his mom was. Alfred told him not
to worry, that she would be back soon. Kelvin asked why she left, but Alfred didn't know. **
At home, Aaron and Mila were discussing Salvin's future. Aaron asked Mila why she was against
Salvin's dream of becoming a fashion designer. Mila explained that she wanted Salvin to have a
better life and that fashion designing didn't pay well. But Aaron disagreed, saying that Salvin should be allowed to follow her dreams. Mila got angry
and walked out of the room.
