When Love Comes Late
Miley looked at her with concern.
Realizing Stella was determined not to pursue the matter, she let it go reluctantly.
She sighed, offering words of caution.
âSince she failed today, sheâll surely try again.
Be careful when youâre out.
Maybe have Matthew arrange for some bodyguards to accompany you.
â
âI understand,â Stella responded, her smile unwavering.
âDonât worry.
Iâll be fine.

Three days passed and the prestigious award ceremony commenced.
The theatreâs decor was a sight to behold, with opulent blues and yellows, enhancing the grandeur of the event.
A massive high-tech LCD screen, showcasing the work of celebrated figures, dominated the venueâs wall.
Arriving with Alinaâs entourage, Stella stepped onto the red carpet amid the dazzling flashes of cameras and the chorus of fan cheers, each moment heightening the eventâs excitement.
The staff diligently broadcasted the gala to an international audience.
Alina was set to appear tenth.
Stella had done her homework.
She knew Alina would be flanked by two seasoned stars, neither of whom would overshadow her.
âMiss Walker, Let me give your gown one last check,â Stella insisted, ensuring every detail was perfect before Alinaâs team snapped a few photos to share on social platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Shortly after, a staff member approached.
âMiss Walker, your moment is near.
Please prepare yourself.

Alina acknowledged with a nod, took a steadying breath, offered herself an encouraging smile in the mirror, adjusted her attire, and made her way to the spotlight.
Alina strolled towards the red carpet, her dress trailing on the ground.
The fine fabric dr@ped beautifully, testament to its quality.
Hidden yet peeking out were her silver-white crystal high heels as she moved.
Her presence was captivating, every curve and motion a study in elegance.
Everywhere she went, she would be in the spotlight.
Reaching the carpetâs heart, she accepted a pen from the host and signed her name.
Then, with a turn, she offered a gentle wave and a serene smile to the flashing cameras.
Her every gesture seemed effortless, her gownâs waves dancing with her steps, reminiscent of a sea goddess.
Onlookers and paparazzi couldnât contain their admiration.
âAlinaâs dress marks a bold new direction for her, and yet sheâs stunning.
â
âSheâs shining like a star tonight.
Sheâs undoubtedly the most dazzling personality on the red carpet tonight, incredibly beautiful!â
