[In the Shadows of Love] ~ Pedri.Gonzalez

Chapter 3

After finishing their dinner, Emily and Bella stepped out of the cozy café, feeling more relaxed and hopeful. As they made their way to the car, a group of paparazzi suddenly appeared, cameras flashing.

"Emily, can you comment on the drama with Pedri's fans?" one reporter shouted.

Emily took a deep breath, standing tall. "No one deserves hate or threats. I'm a fan of Pedri, and that's all there is to it."

"Would you attend another match or post about Pedri again?" another reporter asked.

"Absolutely," Emily replied confidently. "I'm a football fan, and this won't change that."

"Do you hate Pedri for taking so long to make a statement?" a paparazzo asked.

Emily paused, then calmly said, "No, I appreciate that he eventually spoke up. It's about moving forward positively."

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains as Emily woke up, feeling surprisingly refreshed. Today was a new day, and she had a photoshoot to prepare for.

After a quick breakfast, she made her way to the studio. The space buzzed with activity—makeup artists, stylists, and photographers all bustling about, setting up for the shoot.

Emily took a deep breath, soaking in the energy of the room. This was her element.

"Emily, you're here!" called Sarah, the photographer. "We're almost ready for you."

Emily smiled and headed to the makeup station, where the artist began working her magic. As the brushes swept across her face, transforming her look, Emily felt her confidence growing.

Once her makeup was done, Emily moved to the styling area. The stylist handed her a stunning dress, perfectly tailored to highlight her best features. She slipped into it, feeling every bit the professional she was.

"Alright, let's get you on set," Sarah said, leading Emily to the backdrop.

The photoshoot began, and Emily moved effortlessly from pose to pose. She could feel the camera capturing her best angles, and the encouraging feedback from Sarah and the crew boosted her morale even more.
