"What do you want?" Came his stern voice.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left the way I did. I should have told you about my plans, but I never thought you would understand." She said pitifully like a little child. She might be angry with him and might cuss him out everyday of the year, but he is still the man her heart will always choose. The man she's loved from her childhood. Her actual first love.
"You left, congratulations for finding a new family." He said and started walking away again when Nari caught his sleeve.
"I can't do this alone Mack." Nari said and he turned to look at her. "I... I left to save us all Mack. Here I have a little money for mother and father. I'm doing this for us." She brought out three bundles of money, shoving it in his hands.
"We don't need your money." Mack threw it back at her and started walking away. Nari ran after him, "Mack please wait." She said following behind him.
"What else do you want?" He yelled.
"Your help." Nari stated.
"Then you should have asked before you left." "I... I didn't know you would accept it. You were always mad at me." She said.
"Well here we are."
"M... Mack, I need to find Anna's room, we don't have time she's going to be the face of Eclipse entertainment today and we need to stop it. More opportunities will come if I'm the announced the new face." She said.
"So many big people are there waiting for the main event of tonight. We'll have so many deals knocking at the door. If I announce you my man again, Noah Declan will no longer be able to harm you. My new mother will not allow it." Nari said to hear him chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Nari asked.
"Mother... Like you love her so much." He chuckled.
"I'm not wrong." She smiled. "I'm I forgiven Mack?" Nari asked to see him nod.
"You know I can never hold grudge against you for long." Mack smiled and Nari returned it.
"If you're looking for Anna, she isn't in the general hall, Mr Declan had kept her in a specific place with high security." Mack said to see her frown.
"I'm her sister now, I can walk past anywhere." Nari said proudly. That's one advantage of being Anna's sister, she could do whatever she wanted. She could ask for whatever and it would be given to her.
"That's not how it works over here Nari, you cannot just walk in no matter who you are. Only Mr Declan can step in and out however he likes and the model he loves." Mack stated and stopped speaking when someone passed by. Nari turned around to hide her face from their view, she's still trying to gather her life back again, it would be stupid if people saw her with Mack.
"So what do I do?" She whispered and Mack turned quiet for a while.
"Stay here I need to get something." He said and started walking away. After a while he returned with a white kerchief in his hands. "When I get you in there, do the needful." Nari nodded quickly.
"Come with me." Both people started walking away through the next corridor. Mack had been here since morning so he knew how to get to Anna. He would have asked Anna to forgive him, but he couldn't get to her. He couldn't even see her, the guards wouldn't let him.
He had only seen her back when she arrived and that's all.
As they walked through the corridor where Anna's dressing room lay, Mack noticed how weirdly quiet the corridor looked. There were no guards standing by the door as always. Not even one person. They opened the door and stepped in.

A few other models as well as new actresses and actors were introduced to be working for Eclipse entertainment. Everyone cheered as they walked through the runaway, showing off their good looks and perfect body.
The party was a mask party, meaning one wouldn't be able to differentiate a person from another if they didn't take off the mask.
Anna who had been informed she was performing next had rushed to stand at the back of the stage. "Breath." Lola whispered next to her and she took in deep breaths. She knew she had to kill this performance. This a huge opportunity for her and her career.
She needed to outdo the other that have been on stage and judging by their appearances, she didn't think she could outdo them.
Just when it seemed the show had come to an end, the stage parted, and Anna descended from below, a vision of ethereal beauty.
Her white dress, adorned with invisible glittering diamonds, caught the flashing lights, transforming into a kaleidoscope of colors that danced across the room. The effect was mesmerizing, as if she had brought the starry sky down to Earth, casting her own constellation wherever she walked.
The crowd erupted into a series of cheers and applause as Anna made her grand entrance.
Anna Sui, the country's beloved, was no longer just a name whispered in admiration; she was here, in the flesh, gracing them with her unwavering beauty and grace.
She started walking on the runway, showing off her perfect figure and curves. The men drooled at her, everyone wanted to have a piece of the new hot cake in town.
Her family have never felt more proud of her, but of course someone frowned on seeing her. Nari had told her she would be the one introduced as the face of Eclipse, she wondered what went wrong. Why is Anna still the face?
The Declan's who were invited couldn't be more proud at their daughter in law. Never in their life have they seen a girl so beautiful yet so humble at the same time.
Behind everyone, at the very end of the hall stood Noah in a golden mask as he watched his beautiful wife with admiration in his eyes. A once run-over model has now become the country's most sort after model. He couldn't be more proud.
He quietly left the hall and walked over to the back to get the two people that thought they could play with him.
