UZO'S POV

To say I was excited is an understatement because what i felt was out of this world. I was finally going to live my dream and I just couldn't wait. I couldn't sleep all night because of excitement. I was optimistic that the next day did hold a lot for me.

I decided to tell Damola and Agatha about it. They were also happy for me and so was Adaku.

"Mide! Hurry up or I'm gonna leave you" That was Michelle. I had a feeling that she was as excited as I was only that I wasn't sure why.

Mide rushed down the stairs and we went into the car. Timi was to drive and his mum sat beside him at the front seat. Mide and I were seated at the back. Normally, I would be busy typing away on my phone but today over excitement didn't permit me to. I stared out the window. I couldn't help but imagine all the things that will happen after this shoot.

Maybe I'll become a full time model just like Irene. I just couldn't stop thinking about it and I was determined to put in my very best.

The car came to a halt as 'Tara beauty' came into view. It was one of the best in the country and I couldn't help but wonder how I was this lucky. We got out of the car and walked into the building. The reception was a wonderful sight to behold. Everything spelt wealth and to say I was amazed would be an understatement.

"Good morning ma'am" The pretty receptionist greeted Michelle. She was draped in a black two piece suit with a white inner shirt. Her makeup was light and she had a beautiful smile that showed her gaped teeth. On her head was a fifteen inch human hair black wig. I suddenly felt intimidated.

"Morning. Is your boss in?"

"Yes ma. She's in her office"

Michelle nodded and turned to me. "Wait here for me. I'll be back" I nodded and sat down on one of the couches the clicking sounds of her shoes the only noise in the building. I looked around at the show glasses and the expensive looking paintings.

Timi and Mide walked further into the building and I watched them discuss from a distance. Curiosity was getting the better of me and I decided to walk over to where they were. I got up and made my way towards them but they were oblivious because they were so serious about what they were saying.

A hand pulled me behind a shelf filled with shoes and I snapped my gaze upwards only to be met with the eyes of someone I didn't expect to see.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"I should ask you that. Haven't you done enough?" She snapped her voice laced with venom. I still couldn't guess what an angry looking Dinny was doing here.

"Excuse me?"

"You took everything away from me Uzo and you want to take away my contract too"

"I don't know what your talking about"

"Of course you won't. Let's take a walk down the memory lane" She snapped her eyes blazing with hatred as she walked around me slowly.

"You took Timi away from me. As if that was not enough, you also my name. Did you ever ask why they don't call me Uzo anymore? Of course you'll never ask, you don't care. Back in junior school, whenever someone calls Uzo, it's always you. You, you,you! You're just taking everything away from me. You still had Kamsy wrapped around your fingers even though you felt nothing for him. And now it's Timi again. I allowed you take every single thing Uzo. This time it's my contract. Why are you doing this? What have I done to you to deserve this just tell me"

"I was told that the model quit" I was more than confused. Didn't Michelle say the model quit.

"I was just going to threaten Tara with it so she pay me more. But because of you lying snake, I'm neither getting a raise nor my contract. But trust me this is not going to be the end of this. I'll make sure Timi becomes mine again and finally put you in your place"
