"I could save you and your Jobs, but I need a favour from you all." She stated.

After work, Nari stepped out of the building to realize Mack had left her once again to leave on her own. She sighed and walked further a little bit for a car to stop right in front of her.
She stood there wondering who it was that had stopped for her. When they wined down, her eyes went wide. Aunt Kathy?
"A... Aunt Kathy?" Nari called, her eyes were still very wide in shock. Kathy had been driving through, she had been here since noon wondering if she could see her neice or even Noah around, but she didn't.
She was exhausted and on her way out had seen Nari stepping out of the building. Kate wondered what the girl who had hurt her neice was doing here and decided to stop her car.
Kate stepped out of the car to stand before the girl. "I didn't know I would see you here." Nari smiled. The Sui's had helped her since a girl. The time she became Anna's best friend.
She recalled Kathy and Grace shopping for both she and Anna. They treated her like their child and loved her even if they did know her. They offered to pay for her tuition just so she could attend the same school as Anna.
But everything changed when Mack came in the picture. Her love for Mack had ruined their beautiful friendship, but she didn't regret any of it.
"How have you been dear?" Kathy asked the girl, her words shocking Nari the more. The had pretended to be nice thinking this woman would say mean things to her, but she didn't. Isn't she supposed to be Anna's Aunt?
"I have been well." Nari responded innocently.
"You don't look like it." Kathy stared at the lean figure before her like she hadn't just seen on the news that Mack and the Yong family have been destroyed by no other Noah Declan. She had loved their revenge, but since Anna wants to side with their enemy, it was time they side with hers.
She would teach her neice a big lesson. They have disowned Anna and this time they are not joking about it. Just at her thoughts, and idea popped into Kathy's head and she spoke.
"I would love to adopt you Nari. How does it feel to be a part of the Sui's family." Nari's eyes turned wider than before.
"Aunt Kathy?"
"I'm in need of a daughter and since my neice cannot fufill that role, I would love to adopt you as my daughter. I'll give you sometime to think about it..."
"Yes." Nari said out loud before Kate could finish her words and the woman smiled.
"Where do you live Nari, I'll send my lawyer over so that you can sign the necessary documents and move into the Sui's mansion tomorrow." Nari couldn't believe what she just heard. She pinched herself to be sure she was not dreaming.
Was this a king of prank? Is this another of Anna's trick to tarnish her image again? But it couldn't be right?
"Are you sure you're not joking Aunt Kathy?" Nari asked to see Kate smile.
"I'm not a child to play around Nari. It's alright if you don't want to be my child." The chauffeur opened the car for Kate.
"No, I... I want to be your child." Nari confessed staring at the elderly woman. She did want to be a Sui, that would mean she would be free from Noah Declan and all of his antics. There's no way he would want to destroy Anna's family, that would mean hurting Anna himself.
Nari smiled at her thoughts. The universe had finally decided to give her a second chance at life and this time, she would have to use it wisely. She will never do anything to lose this opportunity. This is her revenge to Anna Sui, and this time she would destroy her and take everything she owns.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." Kate stepped back into her car and drove off. Maybe her waiting patiently for hours wasn't a waste after all. If finally paid off.
It's not like she liked Anna's mother in the first place. When she asked her brother to not marry that woman he didn't listen. She had decided to let go of the past and love her niece like her own, but Anna is just too stubborn to be loved.
She would teach her a lesson.

Nari went back home that night. She did not bother informing Mack about her encounter, all she thought about was leaving this slump she called her house very soon.
She would have her personal room and her personal things all to herself. She would leave a very comfortable life and the life she has always dreamed of.
"How sweet is it to steal not only your media life, but your personal life?" She chuckled.
Nari was the first to wake up the next morning, running to the front of the house to check if Kathy had sent anyone and as promised there was a man in very black expensive suit standing just in front of their door.
"Miss Nari?" He asked to see her nod. She quickly took him to another side of the house where Mack or his parents wouldn't invade or notice them.
"Did my new mother send you?" Nari asked to see him nod gently.
"Where are the papers, I want to sign them?" She said hurriedly.
The man brought out the paper and she snatched away from him quickly. Even if she had been too happy, she needed to know it was legit and not another stupid stunt Anna and her family were planning to pull on her.
Nari smiled when she saw it was genuine. She snatched the pen from him and signed the documents.
"I was asked to take you back home."
"Don't worry, I'll find my way there myself. I have to say goodbye to a few people." She smiled and walked away.
When she stepped back into the house, Veronica and Mack where wide awake. "Where are you coming from?" Veronica demanded glaring at the girl that's the cause of what she's going through.
"I... I just went out for a walk." Nari said. She wouldn't tell them about what has happened, judging from how much they hate her now, they would kill her if they find out.
"A walk? You never go out for a walk." He said staring right at her and she gulped.
"Fine, I can't live like this anymore Mack, I'm breaking up with you." Veronica chuckled at her words, her chuckle slowly turned into a torrential laughter that she feared while laughing.
"Is this a joke?" Mack asked.
"It probably is." Veronica laughed more.
"It's not. I'm breaking up with you Mack. I can no longer be your girlfriend. I should have left, but I'm only here to say my good bye to you." She stated staring right into his eyes. Mack who saw the girl wasn't joking turned speechless.
"No, you must be joking. Where would you go, did you forget we're all under the mercy of Noah Declan." Veronica spat but Nari said nothing to her and started packing her things.
In the little room they lived in, finding her things was not hard.
"Where do you think you're going to?" Veronica wanted to go after the girl, but Mack stopped her.
"Let her be, she'll come crawling back when she has no where to stay. And when you do, I'll never ac ept you again." Nari didn't say a word to him and just left the house.
She still loves Mack and still wanted to stay with him, but she would have to leave him to find a means of helping him, and the Sui's seems like the only good means.

The evening sky was painted in hues of crimson and gold as guests arrived at the grand opening of Eclipse Entertainment, anticipation buzzing in the air like static before a storm. The venue, a restored theater draped in velvet and nostalgia, stood proud against the city skyline, its marquee ablaze with promises of spectacle and wonder.
As the clock struck the appointed hour, the doors swung open, unleashing a torrent of excitement that swept through the crowd like wildfire. A symphony of laughter, clinking glasses, and camera flashes filled the air, punctuated by the occasional gasp of awe as guests caught sight of the dazzling displays awaiting them within.
Inside, it was like stepping into a dream. Performers in fancy outfits moved gracefully among the guests, doing tricks and showing off their skills. Acrobats soared high above, dangling from ropes, while musicians played catchy tunes that got everyone tapping their feet.
At the heart of it all stood a few members among the board of directors, radiant smiles lighting their faces as they welcomed each guest with warmth and grace.
In the busy theater, camera people and paparazzi were everywhere, ready to take pictures of the new models. They moved quickly, snapping photos as soon as someone interesting walked in.
The company had announced about ushering fresh models into the industry, and they had also hunted on bringing out a very special guest. Fans had already started speculating the return of Nari or the arrival of Anna Sui as both women have been away from the media for long.
Though posted a few pictures about her trip, that still did not end their curiosity.
