Lisa's Pov

The sun streaming in through the huge windows woke me up in the morning and the first thing I felt were arms around my waist.

A smile formed on my face as I remembered last night. Last night, i went to a club for New Year's Eve Celebration but I’d  been wandering the club alone, saying a few hello’s to people I knew. My friends, who I’d come here with, had disappeared into the dark with either stranger’s they had randomly picked up at the bar or with their boyfriends/girlfriends. I’d been left at the bar because I didn’t have a girlfriend or a boyfriend and I’d refused to hook up with anyone…that is until Jennie Kim.

Black haired and cat shaped blue eyed, she’d stood out amongst the crowd even in a grey sweater and worn out blue jeans. Strong jaw, high cheek bones, eyes that saw right through you and a body to die for; she had been the centerpiece of the club frequented by celebrities.There was this aura of power around her that made me think that she might be someone you wouldn’t want to mess with. And yet she’d  been nothing but polite all throughout the night.

It had been around ten when I’d met her. She’d offered to buy me a drink but I’d had to refuse. I’d only had two virgin mojitos by then and one shot of vodka, but I’m a light weight and I’d rather not go down that path as I’d seen many people in my profession fall from grace.

As a model, we are constantly under stress and many of us give in to alcohol and drugs to take the edge off and get them through the stress of keeping in shape. But people tend to get addicted too soon and it causes them to lose their careers. So I’d politely declined Jennie’s offer.

But instead of giving up and moving on to someone willing, and there had been plenty of them, she’d stayed with me and we’d talked and talked and talked. We’d even gone out of the club and had dinner in a small restaurant.

She hadn’t exactly been dressed for a club outing where everyone was in full bling but that hadn’t diminished her charm one bit. Even in the restaurant, she had stood out with her personality alone. And the best part had been, she actually listened to everything I had told her. Which is why she had declined the restaurants special of seafood pasta and ordered a Cesar salad instead.

And then the clock had struck twelve and everyone in the restaurant had cheered and couples had stolen sweet kisses. And then I’d turned to face Jennie, my eyes locking with her searing blue ones and I hadn’t realized when our heads had leaned in, our lips touching midway. The sparks had been blinding and then there had been no looking back.

Sighing, I looked over my shoulder at Jennie, the position uncomfortable since she was holding me so close. Her eyes were closed, long black lashes casting soft shadows on her cheeks, breathing even and her soft black hair fell to her forehead. My movement must have disturbed her because her brows wrinkled and she turned over in her sleep, removing her hands from my waist. I was a little disappointed by it but I took the opportunity to get up from bed and started padding around my apartment, looking for my clothes.

It’s strange how I’d told Jennie so much about myself yet I hardly knew anything about her. I think I’ve heard her name before, but I could be mistaken. All I could remember was her telling me that she was a business women, which made a lot of sense since she was at the club last night.

Pulling my hair up in a loose bun, I located my bra and panties as well as my leggings and put them on before I went to my closet and pulled out a loose t-shirt.

Throwing them on, I was on my way out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen when I noticed something on the small table I kept next to the door that wasn’t there before. I leaned in closer to get a good look and was barely able to suppress a gasp.

There, on the flower vase, amid a bunch of fresh pink roses that I had placed there yesterday morning, was a tiny spy cam which was only recognizable by the tiny red light that was impossible to notice from afar. And right next to the vase was Jennie’s wallet and watch. I remember her putting these here last night before she had taken off her clothes and joined me in bed. I had no idea she’d set up a spy cam while she was doing those and on top of that, the cam was directly in line with the bed.

“Found that, did you?”

Startled, I turned around to find Jennie standing a few feet away from me, already dressed in jeans and her sweater was in her hand. I hadn’t even heard her get up! She pulled on her sweater as I stared at her dumbfounded and a bit scared. Sweater donned, she simply gave me a smirk and reached out to gather her wallet, watch and the spy camera from the table and tucked them away safely.

“W-what’s the meaning of t-this?” I asked, trying to keep my voice strong while my knees shook.

Who was she? What have I done? Why had I thought that bringing a stranger to my house was a safe option?

Whatever I’d felt for her the previous night had all gone out the window. Instead, I was starting to panic inside
although I tried to keep a brave front.

“You see,” she said with that same cunning smirk, her gorgeous feature turning rigid and cold. “My real name is Jennie Kim. Jennie Ruby Jane Kim and I am the owner of Kim Group of Industries.”

My eyes widened as I realized just who she was. Kim Inc. was one of the world’s leading brands in the textile industries and she’d funded several fashion shows,including the one I’d participated in last month…and it was also where I’d seen her having sex backstage with Bae Irene, a married supermodel and the mother of two kids. That scandal had been leaked out into the newspapers along with a picture of them in a compromising positing and it had appeared on the front page of several big newspapers.

“Wait, you think I leaked that photo?” asked, everything finally clicking in place. That’s why I had this feeling that I’d seen her before! That I knew her.

“You were the only one who saw us Lisa,” she sneered. “I never forget faces, not one so common. That’s why I needed something in return from you.”

My knees gave away from under me and I crumbled to the floor. Last night, when we’d shared such passion, where she’d made me feel special and loved, it had all been a lie. This was all her plan so she could have something to use against me, to blackmail me with. And she had never once let me in on her motives, never asked me if I was truly the one who had leaked those photos!

It’s true that I had caught them having sex, but I’d never told a soul about it And I hadn’t even had my phone on me so how could I have had taken pictures. In fact I’d run the other way as soon as I understood what had been going on.

There was so much I wanted to say, so much I wanted to do. I wanted to yell and scream at her for humiliating me like this, for filming a private moment that I’d cherished so much! But I couldn’t say a single thing as I sat on the floor, shivering like a fallen leaf in shame and humiliation, my voice stuck inside my throat.

“Don’t look so panicked. I’m not like you that I’d run to the paparazzi with this tape right now.” She spat at me.

“I’m keeping this safe with me, but if you try to interfere with my life one more time, I won’t hold back.”

With that she opened the bedroom door and walked away from me, not even bothering to listen to me and I heard the front door open and shut a few minutes later. I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I broke down crying on the floor, everything finally catching up to me.

Jennie Kim will find out the truth someday, because the truth always revealed itself no matter what. But when she does realize her mistake, I will have no forgiveness in my heart to offer her.
