Chapter 5: chapter 5

---At 11 a.m., classical music echoed through the grand halls of **HY Centre**—the show had officially begun.  Inside the makeup room, Inaya stood before the mirror, anticipation tightening in her chest.  She was breathtaking.  Dressed in a form-fitting white gown—simple yet elegant—she exuded effortless grace. A delicate golden mask adorned her face, casting a veil of mystery over her striking features. Her hair was pulled back into an intricate updo, accented by a single white rose tucked behind her ear. The combination was mesmerizing.  The assistant stared, momentarily stunned.  Even if she simply stood there without moving, she would still steal the spotlight.  His lips curved into a satisfied smirk. Layla will undoubtedly secure the contract now.  "You’ll descend onto the stage seated on a chair that will be lowered from above." He gestured toward the final piece of the ensemble. "This bracelet here is the Crown’s Star. Let me put it on you."  He unclasped the exquisite bracelet and carefully fastened it around Inaya’s wrist. However, as soon as she lifted her arm slightly, the bracelet slipped—far too loose for her slender wrist.  A flaw. A problem.  The Crown’s Star wasn’t just any accessory; it was a legendary piece. Designed by the founder of **hf** for his beloved daughter, it carried deep sentimental value. The golden band cradled a dazzling diamond-encrusted crown at its center, flanked by two flawless white gemstones—symbolizing parents protecting their precious child.  The assistant frowned. "It’s too big… What do we do?"  Inaya met his gaze in the mirror and asked calmly, "Do you trust me?"He hesitated for only a moment before nodding. "At this point, I have no choice but to trust you."  This was Layla’s chance at becoming hf’s spokesperson. If anything went wrong, President Gulati would have his head.  Inaya’s lips curved slightly. "Then leave it to me." Outside, the show was in full swing. The anticipation in the air was electric.  The assistant barely noticed the flicker of determination in Inaya’s eyes.  Because he had no idea what she was about to do.  ---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#❤️❤️
