BLAIRE

“Wooow!” escaped from both Roman and Celia in unison as I emerged

from the fitting room wearing the gown that I tried on a while ago. The

transformation was complete, and this time, my hair and makeup were

perfectly done. Roman, the mastermind. behind the entire ensemble,

had spared no effort to make me look stunning.

Roman, beaming with pride, remarked, “You look absolutely

breathtaking, Madam.”

Celia nodded in agreement, adding, “Mr. Foster won't know what hit

him. This revenge dress plan is a genius idea.”

I couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm. “Thank you both. Your

efforts mean a lot to me. Let's make tonight unforgettable.”

The gown hugged my figure gracefully, its intricate design and

seductive silhouette. eliciting admiration from my onlookers. Roman's

expertise in styling and Celia’s supportive gaze created an atmosphere

of excitement and confidence. The air was charged with the anticipation

of a glamorous night ahead.

“Madam, you're going to be the talk of the town tonight, Roman

exclaimed, his excitement palpable. “This revenge plan is going to be

legendary!”

I chuckled, appreciating Roman's dedication to the scheme. “Well, I

hope it at least makes a statement,” I replied, trying to match his

enthusiasm.

Celia chimed in, “Absolutely! No one will see it coming. You're going to

shine brighter. than anyone there.”

As we made our way to the venue, the anticipation grew. The grandeur

of the gala unfolded before us, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of

empowerment in my perfectly tailored gown. The sparkling jewelry

added a touch of opulence, and I was ready to navigate the crowd with

grace and determination.

As we entered the venue, heads turned, and whispers followed.

Roman's revenge dress plan was indeed making an impact. The

atmosphere buzzed with curiosity, and I relished the opportunity to

command attention.

Roman leaned in, whispering, “Remember, Madam, confidence is your

accessory tonight.”

I agreed with Roman and went outside to where the car was waiting for

me. He suggested I have someone drive me to the event. Getting into

the car, I took a deep breath, getting ready for whatever was about to

come.

As the car pulled away, I couldn't shake off the nerves. The driver

glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said, “Nervous, ma'am?”

I chuckled nervously. “A bit. It's been a while since I attended

something like this.”

He smiled and said, “You'll do great, ma'am. The gala is lucky to have

you.”

I appreciated his kind words, but deep down, I couldn't shake the sense

of uncertainty about the evening ahead. The car journey felt like a silent

countdown to a moment I hadn't fully prepared for.

Arriving at the gala venue, the grandeur of the event struck me. The red

carpet. stretched like a path to a world of glitz and glamour. Stepping

out of the car, the dazzling lights and the buzz of excitement enveloped

me.

A familiar face from the event's organizing team greeted me: “Madam,

you look stunning tonight. Everyone is looking forward to your

presence.”

“Thank you,” I replied, mustering a smile. The weight of the diamond

earrings and necklace felt foreign, but I couldn't deny the exquisite

touch they added to the ensemble.

It takes us at least half an hour to reach the venue. Someone quickly

walked towards our car and opened the door for me. I stepped out of

the car and started walking towards the entrance. As I entered the

room, the atmosphere hummed with a blend of elegance and

anticipation. The room fell into a hushed silence as I stepped inside, an

invisible spotlight following my every move. Whispers swept through

the air like a gentle breeze, carrying the curiosity of those who had

caught wind of the orchestrated spectacle.

The weight of the elaborate gown clung to me, a constant reminder of

the role I played in this intricate plan. The gazes of the attendees felt

like a tangible force, dissecting my every step, and I couldn't escape

the awareness that all eyes were fixated on the woman who had

become an unexpected focal point of the evening.

“Your name, madam?” The coordinator inquired, a sense of formality

hanging in the air.

“Blaire Fos" I hesitated. Given my husband's absence, there seemed

little reason to carry his name into this event. “Blaire Banks,” I declared

as I introduced myself. The coordinator then proceeded to announce

my presence as I made my way towards the vibrant red carpet.

The atmosphere shifted, a fusion of curiosity and intrigue as attendees

turned their attention to the newcomer, who bore a name distinct from

the expected. The whispers. that had lingered in the periphery now

gained momentum, weaving through the crowd like a clandestine

dance.

The coordinator’s voice echoed in the grandeur of the venue, marking

my entrance into the spotlight. The room, a tableau of elegance and

sophistication, now held the unpredictable energy of a narrative

unfolding beyond the script.

Following the announcement of my name, I quickly headed toward my

assigned table. As I prepared to sit down, I noticed a pair of intense,

dark eyes focused on me- Sebastian's. Surprisingly, his intense gaze

no longer affected me as it once did. He had no right to scrutinize me

as if I were the one at fault, considering he’s the one attending a party

with another woman on his arm.

I deliberately brushed off Sebastian's gaze, immersing myself in the

lively atmosphere of the gala. The buzz of conversation and music

created a veneer of normalcy, masking the underlying tension. While

engaging in polite banter with fellow attendees, I remained acutely

aware of Sebastian's lingering eyes.

A server approached, offering a glass of champagne. Suddenly, a

charismatic man named Alexander joined our table, injecting new

energy into the evening.

“Good evening. I couldn't help but be captivated by your entrance. Mind

if I join you?" His confidence and charm shifted the dynamic, providing

a welcome distraction from the turmoil beyond the gala. Engrossed in

our conversation, I momentarily set aside. the complexities surrounding

Sebastian.

Surprised by the unexpected attention, I hesitated for a moment before

offering at reserved smile. “Of course, please have a seat.”

“I must say, you look stunning tonight, he remarked, his gaze lingering

on me.

“Thank you,” I replied, the compliment mingling with the uncertainty that

clung to the evening.

As Alexander shared anecdotes, laughter filled the air, and I

contemplated the unexpected turn of events. The gala, initially a

backdrop for revenge, now unfolded as a stage for a burgeoning

connection. Yet, beneath the surface, my emotions churned with the

reminder of unresolved issues with Sebastian.

As if on cue, it hadn't been long since Alexander shared a table with me

when Sebastian and Catherine approached our table.

“Mind if I share a table with my wife?” Sebastian unexpectedly

interjected, catching everyone at the table off guard.
