Chapter 12

Author: Seeking A Peaceful Life
Chris Bailey pulled on Anthony Bailey’s sleeves. “Daddy, Daddy, help Mommy! Someone is bullying Mommy!” he whined.

With a passive expression, Anthony reached for his phone, searched for a contact, and dialed it. Once the person answered, he spoke, “Charmine is mine, people.”

In the hall, the person-in-charge looked at his phone dubiously before he looked at Charmine who was currently held back by the security. He was scared to death with what he had just heard. Goodness... This woman was Anthony Bailey’s people?

“Stop it. Stop! Don’t hurt this lady here!” he shrieked as though downright fearing for his life.

What just happened?

The securities were befuddled while the crowd went quiet in disbelief. Was she not unwanted? What changed his mind?

The person-in-charge walked up to Charmine in an instant and bowed to her. “You must be Miss Jordan. You said you needed one minute, right? Please, take all the time you need,” he sputtered, and rather respectfully at that. “Here at Chanel, we’ve always strived to be fair and just. If you’re willing to give it a try, we welcome you wholeheartedly.”

Charmine frowned; his attitude changed at the speed of a reader flipping her book. Who was on the line of his call?

It was then when she felt a peculiar gaze glued on her. Following her instinct and looking up, she saw a man looking right into her from a glass door on the second floor.

It was Anthony Bailey.

What was he doing here? Anthony’s lips curled into a grin—that he himself was unaware of—when he caught her looking up at him. Chris, on the other hand, waved enthusiastically at Charmine.

Charmine was startled. Why would Anthony help her? The kid was acting weird enough, but his father was even stranger! She already told him off yesterday, so what was he doing here? Had he genuinely fallen for her?

Anthony’s grin slowly receded, replaced with a frown. Women would usually throw themselves at him at any given chance, but why was Charmine acting all weird and resistant?

Noticing Anthony’s powerful gaze, the man trembled in fear as he quickly added, “Miss Jordan, is there anything you’d want us to help you prepare?”

“No, I’m fine.” She marched toward the stage, confident in herself.

What Charmine needed, as of this second, was to take away everything from Tiffany; her opportunities and fame. Of course, the crowd had no clue what was going on. They merely persisted in mocking Charmine’s choice of dress and her ignorance to compete for this role.

She was perceived as the toad wanting to eat the meat of a swan. A chance already seemed way too generous for people like her. Who was she kidding?

Even the designer did not understand what the person-in-charge was doing. How could he give this chance to a person like her? It would be a disgrace if this woman were to touch the designer’s product.

“Not anyone can put on with my design. If the panel decides to let a no-body stay, I’ll quit designing for Chanel,” the designer protested.

With that said, all the lights in the ballroom suddenly went off.

After a few seconds of darkness, a light green spotlight appeared as it flitted to the T-stage. A wooden stump mysteriously appeared on the stage. Charmine sat on the stage as she leaned against the stump with one hand supporting her chin. The delicateness of her facial features was displayed in all its glory.

She leaned back languidly, as though she was resting on a summer’s afternoon. Her dark green dress splayed out into a retro-like beauty.

Her flaming red lips did not impede her elegance from being emitted. On the contrary, it made her seem more of a mystifying fey with an aura of coldness and perfection.

In the darkness, fireflies began to appear as they flew to her. Some landed on her curled up lashes while some landed on her palm. It was picturesque, just like the painting of phantasmagorical heaven.

The jewelry placed on her neck was a mere copy of the actual necklace, but even the copy seemed to have come alive when paired with her exquisite face.

Everyone was awestruck by what happened as they were left breathless with the scene. Things became apparent: One did not have to dress in a simple gown nor wear a pretentiously innocent smile to portray exquisiteness. A truly beautiful woman could display it even with flaming red lips.

The crowd went pin-drop silent. Everyone was stunned by her beauty.

The silence remained until the end of her performance, when everyone finally recovered from the spell of her beauty and applauded thunderously.

“Brilliant!”

“That’s what the true ‘Glowing Forest’ embodies!”

Recovering from her own state of shock, she completely disregarded what she had said before. “Who is she? I’ll have to take back what I said. Sign her!” she beamed. “We have to sign her!”

On the second floor, Chris was jumping for joy. “Mommy is so pretty! Mommy is so pretty! Daddy, go on! She’s too pretty; you have to chase her now before someone else does!”

“Speed isn’t always the key to success,” Anthony said flatly as he ruffled the boy’s hair.

“Hmph. You’re too slow! I’ll help you!” Chris pushed him away and ran downstairs.

Anthony frowned, “Stop him!”

Nial followed suit, running after Chris.

  • Warning: My Mommy is A Savage!   Chapter 30

    Charmine elegantly twisted to the opposite side and simultaneously tossed the silk cape upward. The long and flowy cape floated in the air—as though in slow-motion—before it wound around the metal frame above the stage into a knot. In a swift movement, Charmine pulled on the cape as her body swayed freely in the air. Like a choreographed dance, she flew above everyone else languidly and carefreely with the silk. Her skin-colored tulle dress fluttered as she floated in the air, while the cape whirled like tidal waves. The innumerable fireflies became her backdrop as she flew like a fey from a dreamy fairyland; stunningly beautiful, stunningly bewitching. Everyone watched as she glided above them, their breath taken away.Ineffable. Her dress swirled like the smoke of an enchanting dream. She was like a goddess that came from heaven that held captive the souls below her with a faint smile.With a smooth transition, she hooked her legs mid-air as she reached over to remove her sho

  • Warning: My Mommy is A Savage!   Chapter 29

    A figure so ethereal slowly emerged to the stage.She appeared to be naked under the light, the shade and shape of her body all too noticeable: Long neck, paper-thin waist, and those elegant, long and straight legs! There was not a trace of excess fat on her body. It was as though she was a sculpture made in heaven. This was a figure of a natural supermodel.Still, was she genuinely naked? Did she choose to go on stage naked just to win?Anthony’s face darkened instantly as his hands instantly shot up to cover the boy’s and Nial’s eyes. A strange and unfamiliar feeling of anger arose in his chest, and his ears rang with the words Charmine had said to him, ‘Walking around the beach in a bikini.’Had she always been such an open-minded person?All the audience stared at her in bewilderment. Some even had the word ‘god’ comically appeared in their mouths.On the streaming platform, some commented, [OMG! We can report Chanel for streaming pornography, right?]However, it was onl

    The first to appear on the stage was a tall and slim Causasion supermodel. She was dressed in a tight-fitting black short skirt, complementing her alluring body shape. Blue-eyed with wavy blond hair cascading down her shoulders glamorously, it was the most famous supermodel from France, Michelle Kerry! Around her neck hung a red ruby necklace, and it came along with earrings and bracelets of the same series. This was Chanel’s latest collection named Passion. complemented by Michelle’s fiery temperament, it was seamlessly perfect! The audience was left awestruck by her beauty and they, along with the paparazzi, started taking photos of her. Thus began the hushed comments between attendees. “If a top supermodel like Michelle can only be the opening act, how great could Charmine be to make the final appearance?”“Who knows? Maybe she slept with the owner of Chanel!”“Even if she did sleep with the owner and made the final appearance with her body, can’t she be a little lay-low abo

    Time fleeted unnoticeably, and it was almost ten o’clock.“Get ready, everyone,” an assistant called out to the supermodels backstage. “Stand by the stage. It’s almost showtime!”The supermodels stood up to get in line according to their given number. Charmine was the last to appear on stage, thus it was not her turn for at least the next thirty minutes. She laid back languidly on her seat as she settled her mind.Outside, amid the huge space of Ocean Pearl, a tall T-stage was built in glass illusion, surrounded by chairs across its perimeters. The guests in the hall were the richest in the country, able to afford a ticket at a starting price of 20,000 dollars. Outside the hall, the standing tickets were as high as a thousand dollars. Most of the audience was looking forward to the show; some for the models while some for the jewelry. Of course, the one thing everyone was really looking forward to was Charmine Jordan and how she would ‘stun the world’ as she claimed to.On the righ

    At Ocean Pearl. It was only 9.30am, but guests had occupied the hall. With the bet between Charmine and Julian going on, everyone was keen to find out who Charmine was and how she would win. The ticket price went from a few thousand to twenty thousand per ticket due to the increasing demand. Even executives like Julian who was never seen in Burlington reserved front row seats. They were all supporters of Julian, wanting to find out what drove Charmine to place such a grand and risky bet against Julian.A dazzling back Hypersport pulled over at Ocean Pearl’s back door. Luke turned to Charmine and said, “Miss Jordan, I’m relaying a message from Mr. Bailey. He said that if you need anything, just say the word and he’d get it done.”“No, I don’t need it,” came her firm reply. “This is a small matter, and help is not needed.” Charmine got out of the car, but as she was about to shut the door, she added, “Right, help me to pass on to your Mr. Bailey. Ask him to spend more time with Momo,

    Tiffany was shocked with disbelief. Her face stiffened as she could barely contain her emotions, but she managed to hold herself together and forced a smile, asking, “Sir, I think you’ve made a mistake.”Charmine just returned to the country, and hardly anyone knew her. How would such a wealthy boss know her and send someone to pick her up?“No, I’ve not,” the chauffeur deadpanned. “I’m here to pick up Miss Jordan. Charmine Jordan,” he added, emphasizing ‘Charmine’ when he spoke. Disbelief, their gazes turned to Charmine as though in slow-motion.This car came for Charmine? She knew the car’s owner? Impossible! Tiffany’s face twisted into a shade beyond abhorrence. How could it be?As everyone was still frozen in shock, the man walked toward Charmine and bowed. “Miss Jordan, please.”Charmine walked over nonchalantly, her eyes judging the car. “Hmm... It’s not too bad, I’d give you that. However, there are only seven cars in the world, and that number is ominous. Also, black abs
