Chapter 4: chapter 4

---"Layla is desperate to convince the media that she’s still attending the show despite her injuries because she doesn’t want it to affect her eligibility for the ‘Top Ten Model Awards.’ Help me pay a visit to Apoll Hospital."  Yashvi’s eyes gleamed with understanding. "I see what you’re getting at. We gather proof that she’s still at the hospital during the show and expose her lie to the public!"  Inaya smirked. "No, I have something even bigger. She’s pregnant—**and** the child is Neil Gulati’s."  Yashvi gasped. "What?!" "I also need you to prepare a statement exposing the fact that Neil has used me multiple times to substitute for Layla Joshi at her shows. As for which ones… I’ll need your help finding the evidence."  At first, Yashvi was shocked, but the pieces quickly clicked into place. **"Unbelievable. Not only did they cheat, but they turned you into a puppet to cover for them." Her voice hardened. "Don’t worry, Inaya. I’ll help you with everything."  Inaya didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she took a deep breath. For the first time in years, she felt truly calm. This time, she would treat them exactly as they had treated her.—  After gathering her thoughts, Inaya grabbed her things and drove straight to the venue. Upon arrival, Layla’s assistant was already waiting for her.  The man was in his late thirties, bulky, married, and carried a cunning glint in his eyes. But despite his nature, he was still respectful—after all, the Desai family was not one to be underestimated.  "What took you so long? Hurry up, come and get your makeup done." "What kind of show is it today?" Inaya asked as she was rushed down the hallway.  "Nothing special," he replied smoothly.  A lie.  Inaya had already done her research. The Crown’s Star Jewelry Show. A high-profile event featuring a famous French brand, hf. If Layla had attended, she would have secured a deal as hf’s next spokesperson. But since she was injured, Neil had convinced her to let Inaya fill in—ensuring Layla didn’t lose her opportunity.  Had they always thought she was this easy to manipulate?  The assistant led her to a private makeup room. "Thanks to Layla’s current status, you get your own space." He handed her a detailed schedule. "You’ll be walking in the grand finale, showcasing this piece of jewelry."  On stage, the spotlight gleamed off an exquisite diamond-studded crown.  As the makeup artist began working on her, Inaya’s gaze remained fixed on the dazzling piece.  Did Neil truly believe that by hiding her face with a mask, no one would recognize her?She had something far more shocking planned.  If Neil and Layla thought they could manipulate her forever—they were in for the surprise of their lives.  —  Meanwhile,Atharv’s assistant had been following Inaya's every move and overheard that she would be substituting Layla in the show. Immediately he reported everything to Atharv. In a sleek black car parked outside, Atharv’s assistant was on the phone.  "Sir, Inaya is substituting for Layla Joshi in hf’s jewelry show tonight."  Atharv, seated in the back, removed his sunglasses and narrowed his dark eyes.  "Make arrangements immediately. I’m attending the show." The assistant hesitated. "Sir, this isn’t a particularly special—" "I said, make arrangements." Atharv’s voice was calm, but his tone left no room for argument.  "Yes, president!"Atharv didn’t care about the show.  He wanted to see Inaya in action. ---If you like this story, then definitely support it by stickers , i will get motivation, to writeThanku ️❤️🙏🙏Written By –✍ @shri❤️😘So, how is this??Tell me in the comment sectionI will update you soon about the next part..!!Till then, stay tuned and miss me..!!😜#keep reading#keep loving#❤️❤️
