Naomi Madden, a renowned fashion designer, attends an upscale award ceremony celebrating her latest collection. Amidst the glitz and glamour, her past comes crashing back when she locks eyes with Ace, her long-lost ex-boyfriend who vanished six year...
My phone starts ringing. Naomis name pops up and I answer, placing the phone at my ear.
"Hey." Her angelic voice, came through.
"Hey." I said.
"Is Amara with you." AHe asked
"Yes." I say.
"Can you give her the phone." Shs asked. I could hear another feminine voice from the other side but the words are unaudioible.
"Your mom what's to talk to her." I said, while passing the phone to her.
A smile formed onto her lips at the mention of her mom.

"Hi." Amara said.
"Hey girl. What you doing" I asked.
"Ace is driving us to go and pick up Nala and Milo." She said and I let out a sigh.
It's a rleife she's safe but that ge didn't tell me he was leavibgvwith her has me a going mad.
"Okay can you give him the phone please." I said.
"Ace?" I ask.
He hums.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going somewhere with her?" I asked with a sigh.
I didn't let him speak before I start.
"Ace she's not your daughter. You don't get to just do stuff like that with her. Without letting me know and getting my permission. Im sorry but you dont have full custody and all that type of shit over her."
Aubrey gives me a 'oh my god. Dont say that' type of look then hits the back of my head.
I mouth the word, 'ow' to her and she rolls her eyes. I walk towards the floor to ceiling windows that show off the rest of Miami.
He says soemthubg, but a knock from my door blocks out the words.
"We'll continue this later I have to go. Tell Amara that I love her." I said hanging up the phone.
I turn to the door but see Aubrey looking at me in disappointment.
"What?" I ask after she has'nt said anything.
"Don't "what" me. That was a bit too harsh, don't you think." She states.
"No. Not at all." I said
"Girl, your my family and all, and forgive me for what I'm about to say. I know you may hate the man because he left you to fend for yourself and Amara and you have a right to be mad at that but I knwo you also still have some type of special place and feeling for him somewhere you just dont show it." She said, and I openly mouth to protest but she motions for me not to. " babe trust me, you like the guy okay. I see it. you dont realise it but I do. As well as I know that those words hurt him as hell. Cut him through the heart painfully." She said looking at me with aoft yt serious eyes.
"How would you feel if ypu were the one to leave then after six years you see each other then he says shit like that to you..." She continues.
Thinking about him saying such to me would hurt me. Hell it would probably make a dent in my heart if I were to here those words come out of his mouth.
"See. Look at you. you also wouldn't want that to be said to you. I just really want you to be happy. I'm not sayubg get back with him. Do whatver shit you want with him, but still be nice. Give him a chance to talk to.you when he asks." She said.
"Im not picking his side. Just try be nice to him he's also going through a rough patch." She finally finished she's.
I let out a sigh and for the first time this girl said something usefull.
"Miss Madden. You in there?" A familiar feminine voice asks from the other side.
"Oh sorry yes you may come in."
Sofia, one of my designers pushes the door open and her head pops in excitement. She's smiling about to explode maybe.
"Hello Sofia." I said with a smile.
"You need to come see this."
I narrow my eyes in concern.
"Should I be worried or not?" I question, generally concerned.
"No No, just come you'll love it. I promise." She said then Aubrey and I follow Sofia to whatver she said would be a good thing.
