Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 Showstopper

Bianca wasn’t trained in modelling, but she carried herself well.

The loose petticoat helped to conceal her steps.

She listened to the music, tried to get a feel of the beat, and walked in time with that.

It was a good thing that the show was hosted at twilight

She wouldn’t be nervous if she couldn’t see the faces in the audience.

And there was no time to be nervous, anyway.

She had to take long strides to keep up with the pace of the rest of the models.

As she stopped at the end of the catwalk and posed, she spotted familiar faces peering up at her.

Some were friends, but she recognised two enemies.

Bianca picked up her pace on the walk back, hoping to catch Darya backstage to give her a heads–up.

Ryan was seated in the second row and couldn’t remain still.

His attention was on his phone instead of the models, which was why he didn’t notice the lan

his way.

He had been to enough fashion shows in the past.

As soon as the first kid started strutting down the catwalk, he lost interest.

The only reason he came here tonight was to help his good friend find a date for the party next week.

But Micah looked even more bored than him.

“You can take Regina,‘ Ryan whispered. ‘She likes you. I can tell.‘

Micah replied with a cold look.

Possed

‘Come on,‘ Ryan spread out both hands. ‘You don’t like me to fix you up with somebody. You don’t want to take Regina. Then what do you want?‘

Micah said nothing, just tapped away on his tablet.

“You can’t seriously be working right now.‘ Ryan leaned over and glimpsed the email Micah was composing. ‘It’s workaholics like you that give the rest of us a bad reputation. My dad’s threatening to cut me off if I don’t find something useful to do.‘

‘Then go find a job,‘ Micah said without looking up.

Ryan stuck out his lower lip. ‘And do what? Sit behind a desk all day like you? No, thanks.‘

He covered his mouth with one hand to stifle a yawn.

The music changed as he happened to look up.

He gawked at the model onstage, his mouth hanging open.

Darya glided down the catwalk.

Her walk had changed.

Her strides were purposeful and powerful when she wore the red phoenix dress, like she was about to charge

into battle.

Now she was relaxed and sauntering.

Her pace was smooth and natural.

She held her head up, keeping a regal posture.

Like Kaua coached her, she focused on a point in the distance instead of looking at the audience.

The strapless dress she wore was a classic black, made with layers of different types of lace and velvet with a

smattering of glittering Swarovski stones and a mermaid train.

A golden belt matched the tiara she wore.

With every step she took, stars lit up on the catwalk, which was made of LED panels.

It created the effect of a moon goddess out to inspect her territory.

Darya slowed down as she approached the end of the catwalk, planted her feet, swayed her her weight from one leg to the other, giving the photographers and fashion blogers

ensemble.

The dress, aptly named ‘The Moon Goddess,‘ set off all the flashbulbs in the audience.

It was a show–stopping appearance.

Darya counted a few seconds in her head before fluidly turning back for the return walk.

It took Ryan a while to find his voice. ‘She looks…incredible.‘

Next to him, Micah was silent.

He didn’t hear what Ryan said.

All his mind was on the goddess on the catwalk.

Darya’s graceful figure disappeared at the same time as the music ended.

Five seconds later, Harley and Kaua stepped forward and took a bow.

Harley didn’t need to look at the fashion bloggers‘ reactions to know the show was a success.

The thunderous applause was hint enough.

Still, she breathed out a long sigh of relief.

This was the first time she staged a show featuring entirely her own designs.

Next to her, Kaua was less restrained.

He blew air kisses at the audience and was grinning from ear to ear.

Harley had promised to let him direct all her shows for the next six seasons if he did a good job with this one.
