Aria whispered to Luke going near his ear, "How about I whinge that to your boyfriend?"
Luke's boyfriend and Aria were under the same teacher, that's how they knew each other.
Luke bobbed her head and left behaving like angered one. His boyfriend was a sweetheart but a possessive one.
The show started and the first entry was Aria.
She never tried modeling so she was frightened thinking she might make a mistake and become a joke of herself.
Levi whispered, "To piss off President Morgan."
Aria smiled and stepped up being confident, bold, and mesmeric.
The spotlight was on her that left the whole hall stunned.
Everyone there knew who she was.
Alan thought nobody entered the Diaz hence there was pin-drop silence so he didn't open his eyes but when a reporter snapped out of the daze.
"That's President Cooper."
Alan shot his eyes open to see Aria's breathtaking smile and her svelte figure in a gorgeous blue gown.
He had unknowingly held his breath looking at her moving like gazelle, pose like a professional, and left leaving everyone enthralled by her.
He felt like a princess or an angel just came out on a stroll. She was stunning which left his heart beat high.
Harold had to pat Finn to bring him back from the daze.
Eva, Rian, and Noah came out of daze after Aria disappeared.
"Our Goddess." They loved how she carried herself.
Levi and Aria low fived before he helped her towards the dressing room. Aria quickly changed to her showstopper dress.
Its waist had altered to a size small for her size so it fit her perfectly. They did light touch up to her makeup and waited for her turn.
Luke took her picture and sent it to his boyfriend, "Your pal turned out to be a supermodel."
Her presence was no less than a supermodel especially her attitude.
But Levi wasn't sure what to say whenever she asked him for a review, "Now?"
"President Morgan will kill himself or you for stopping that model."
He was speechless seeing her smile.
'Is pissing off people is so much fun?' He thought to himself.
After about fifteen more minutes of Aria's designs and Luke's designed clothes were showcased, Aria took lots of deep breaths encouraging herself before stepping up confidently.
The hall went to mute.
Everyone always saw Aria in trendy but modest clothes but now, her deep v neck and shortest front layer skirt showed off her flawless glowing skin.
She was alluring and enticing which made it hard to look away from her.
Many drooled on her beauty with their mouths open.
Her expressionless face without a smile with the bold makeup made her look more seductive and mysterious in her red dress.
Aria purposefully glanced at the fuming and infatuated look of Alan when she was posing for the pictures.
'Play Me, I'll hit where it hurts.'
She was walking back as she posed at a regular interval, she heard Eva, "Goddess, I'm going to marry you."
Isaac who had his eyes on Aria and Alan thinking how Alan was going to punish Aria was speechless hearing Eva.
Aria stood in the center to let all the models enter before Luke entered and led Aria ahead with him.
Aria subconsciously looked at Alan when they posed because unintentionally Luke's hand was on her bareback once and once on her waist for the pictures.
'Luke and I are dead today.' Aria thought to herself seeing Alan's darkening face.
She felt like, 'The devil in the dark.'
When she went off the limelight she ran away leaving Luke's hand thinking to lock herself in the green room.
Luke was confused, Levi guessed but Alan was quicker than anyone of them who went like a wind.
Aria cursed under her breath for provoking Alan when she was pinned on the wall as Alan locked the door.
Luke was panicked hence he knocked on the door, "President Morgan, get out of there. I'll call security if you are not coming out now... President Morgan..."
Levi patted on Luke's shoulder, "He will not hurt President Cooper. If President Cooper signals, I'll get her out of there."
Luke was confused but he stood aside worrying for Aria thinking Alan was her ex and he would hurt her.
Aria tried her best to be emotionless when Alan kissed and traced her back with his lips as he spoke.
"Seems like you are too close to that man."
Even though Aria hated him, he was still the man she loves. She didn't want to but her body was reacting instinctively.
"Honey, you sure have the guts to wear this dress and walk." His seductive tone continued as he left a few marks on her back.
Aria was scared she might moan hence she clenched her teeth trying her best control herself.
She turned and tried to push him away, "Al..."
But next second she started to retaliate when his hand went under her dress and started kissing her deeply.
Even though she didn't want to go weak, she was flushed in his arms as her eyes filled up and had no strength to stop him.
Alan knew well about her body hence he left her and kissed her forehead.
"Leave." Aria said as her tears rolled down trying to push him away.
Alan didn't care and unzipped her red dress.
Aria wanted to shout at him, yell at him, chide him but the more, she didn't want anybody to see her in that state.
She never liked anybody to see her weak side other than Alan.
The tears streaked her face soon hitting him but Alan calmly took her formal dress and helped her wear it.
He gently wiped her cheeks, changed her six-inch heels to her shoes before hugging her to calm her down.
When he felt she was fine and composed, looking emotionless, he made her sit on the chair.
He removed her makeup gently, untied her hair bun, and combed it patiently to untangle.
"Are you alright?" He asked in concern.
Aria looked away.
Alan asked her to take medicine but Aria refused which he eventually forced it by his mouth having no choice.
Aria knew it was for her heavy cramps.
Alan knew well after her spicy barbecue on her menstrual cycle, she was having stomach pain.
Upon that her heels were too high to tire her off easily.
Aria really had thought he forgot about her cycle and forcing her but when his warm hand was placed on her lower abdomen gently rubbing to ease her pain while kissing her, she couldn't help but tear up.
How could she hate him even if she wanted to?
She wished she could really hurt him for making her go through all those.
Alan left only when he made sure she was fine. He ignored Levi and Luke as he strode out.
Luke bolted in and sighed seeing her fine. "Your ex is the worst man. Doesn't he have manners? Why can't he move on?"
Aria gazed outside seeing Alan's silhouette, "Move on? I want him to suffer watching me."
