"Hello sir" by now the director was super angry I had missed another shoot. "MODELS DON'T DO THIS! THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH MONEY AND YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH SCHOOL YOU JUST LOST 5 MILLION! 5MILLON! A CHANCE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE!!" he yelled. "Stop yelling and listen. I quit. I am not in love with money and I don't deserve to be a model. I don't want money and I want to be a medical doctor. It's my dream! I want to save lives!" I yelled at him back. "What the hell?? YOU WANT TO QUIT WHAT??? HOW DESPERATE CAN YOU GET? YOU THINK YOU CAN QUIT AND BE IN THAT PENTHOUSE" he hung up and I hissed. They didn't say a word till the director hit the door hard.
 "Why are you hitting the door like that? Don't you know who lives here?" The guard asked the director. "Not anymore! Pack your things! No one will stay here." He kicked open the door and started running  he got to my room and shouted: "GRACE WILLIE! LEAVE THIS PENTHOUSE!!! LEAVE! LEAVE! YOU HAVE NO DEALS AND -" suddenly some men came and started taking my clothes out. "How dare you this is our house, we bought the land and we paid too!" Mum yelled at them. "Someone GAVE you the land! YOUR FANS GAVE YOU THE LAND...OR CAN I SAY....my FANS!" the director yelled. "Let her go!" I yelled as the men took mum. Mum tired to fight back and one of them took a vase and hit it on Tessy as she tried to stop them. I got up angrily and slapped the man but he pinned me to the wall. "Cooperate with us,else you'll be mine tonight" he smirked but I pushed him. He handled us roughly and they drove us downstairs. Then, they threw us on the floor.

"GET OUT! GET OUT!" the director yelled at us as mum cried. They didn't even give us our clothes or our money. Mum asked for her ball and uniform but they slapped her. They even cancelled her tryouts and threw us outside. The neighbors were watching and we were embarrassed in front of everyone. We had no money on us so we had to go back to our old neighborhood - the small house we lived. We just had 7 clothes and there was nothing else. There was no food and rats feasted on the money we kept. There was nothing we could do. Mum had to sell her favorite locket to buy us some food. We spent all night applying to part time jobs on the internet. Mum got no jobs and we reached out to Dad. But his wife and children yelled at us and told us not to come back again. Damien, Agnes, Apollo, none of them came to see me, I couldn't even go to school. It was 3 days to the final exams, where we'd graduate high school. I had no money for graduation and luckily, I got a part time job as a waitress in a small cafe. They paid $10,000 monthly and the job was very bad. I took off time to read and Mum didn't even talk to me. She just locked herself up in her room. Days later, it was our final exam. I wore a cheap red top with black jeans and wood shoes.

They were hurting my legs as I walked and I had to bear everything, I got to school. The exams were easy and I aced the first 4 papers. The rest was nothing and we had to come back after two days to get our result. the next day it was my birthday. Mum baked me a cake and we ate and celebrated. Soon, someone phoned my mum. "Hello??" "Hello. This is Mr. Francis. You and your daughter come to the Red Hall at 9pm looking beautiful for her birthday." "Who are you?? And how do you know it's my child's birthday?" Mum got scared. "Am the event planner." Mum hung up afraid. "Whats wrong mum?" She explained everything to me. "We shouldn't go. What if this person wants to kidnap us?" I insisted us going and mum finally agreed. She tried her best and we took a taxi to the Red Hall at 8:30pm. As soon as we got there, it was a grand hall and we saw ladies dressed in Princess ball gowns Suddenly, the man came towards us. "I am Mr. Francis. Follow me" we went to a small house built near the grand hall and I screamed on seeing Agnes there.

"Happy birthday darling bestie you may not be a model anymore but you're still my superstar" we hugged and she did my makeup, packed my hair into a bun and hung the beautiful chain I always loved. She gave me a pink shiny ball gown to wear and I just couldn't recognize myself. She also dressed up mum and we went into the grand Hall together. Guys in suits  started bringing a bouquet towards me"You're so pretty Grace, will you be my dance partner" "Happy birthday Grace, we love you" I couldn't say a thing. I kept smiling. I saw Autumn and Clementine. I grew angry. But suddenly, some curtains opened and Damien came out wearing a unique suit. OH MY GOD there's nothing more to ask He was coming towards me. With a bouquet in his hands. Like the boy in class I knew"Happy Birthday Grace, I want you to know, you've not been disgraced and am not angry at you. We just wanted to make you realize this;
