Chapter One

"Nice shot Charlotte, " Her manager complimented as he helped her to get down. She had just finished a photoshoot and she was beyond exhausted.

"Thank you," said Charlotte as she headed over to her makeup artist to adjust her makeup before leaving the studio.

The manager followed her to inform her about something he had just seen.

"Charlotte, have you seen the new rankings?" He asked, bringing out his phone to show her the rankings.

"Here, have a look," said the manager as he handed over his phone to Charlotte.

She turned and focused her attention on her manager. "It's out already?" She asked in surprise as she collected the phone from him. She wasn't expecting the list till tomorrow.

"Yeah, it's out already and as usual, you're still the number one model in the world." The manager told her with a huge smile on his face.

"As expected," said Charlotte as she checked out herself in the mirror. She smiled as she was satisfied with her look. She then turned and focused her attention on the phone in her hand.

Charlotte scanned the list thoroughly and she scoffed when she saw the person who came in second. "Looks like Amy Williams is not going to be happy about this list."

The manager laughed "I can imagine her already throwing her tantrums"

Charlotte Brooks was a high-ranking model and she was well-known both in her country and internationally.

What made her popular was not the fact that she was the only daughter of one of the most famous businessmen in the country.

Rather, it was her simplicity and her humble nature that made her famous and successful as opposed to her counterpart Amy Williams who was known for being rude and proud making her very difficult to work with.

"Miss Brooks! " Irene, her personal assistant, called while running towards her.

"What's wrong Irene?" Charlotte asked worriedly as she noticed the expression on her assistant's face.

She could feel that something serious must have happened to make Irene look so pale.

"Your mother called and she sounded really serious. She asked me to tell you to come home as soon as possible. She said it had something to do with your dad," Irene informed her.

On hearing what Irene said, Charlotte immediately grabbed her bag and rushed out of the studio.

Why did her mother demand that she return to her family house out of the blue? Something big must have gone down in her family and it made her worried.

'I hope everything is fine,' Charlotte muttered to herself as she drove out of the parking lot.

"Listen here, keep all dangerous objects from her. Got it?!" Sebastian ordered the maid over the phone as he sped along the highway.

He received a call about five minutes ago while he was in a meeting. It was a call from his girlfriend's helper. She told him that Amy was throwing another tantrum.

Sebastian, on hearing the news, immediately dismissed his employees and rushed to his car.

He needed to get to Amy and fast before she hurt herself.
