“Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world.”

———————— They say the spotlight loves me.

I’ve heard it all—“She’s the face of the decade,” “The body that launched empires.” Fashion weeks, billboard campaigns, and magazine covers. They all chase after me like I’m some celestial being. But none of it means anything when I’m behind the glass walls of his office.

His glass walls.

Alejandro Reyes. CEO of Reyes Industries. The most powerful man in the city—possibly the world. Cold to most. Ruthless to many. But to me? Possessive. Terrifyingly tender. Obsessively mine.

I met him during a perfume campaign his company funded. He didn’t even glance at the models at first. Until I walked in. His eyes locked on me, and from that moment on, I was his. Not because I agreed. Because he decided.

He doesn’t like me walking the runway anymore.

He moved my shoots to his buildings. My manager? Now employed under him. The brands? They come to me. But I never leave the tower anymore. I shoot. I eat. I sleep. I model—for the world—but I live only for him.

And sometimes, when I see my face on giant screens, I feel like a ghost.

Because while the world watches me, praises me, loves me—none of them know me.

Only he does. And he made sure to keep it that way.

"Why you taking my freedom away?!" I cry on tears, I hug my legs while I'm sitting on my pink bed.
