Chapter 45
Tessy’s POV
As I stepped into Anthony’s suite after dinner and the news he shared with me, the door clicked shut, leaving us in intimacy. His eyes, burning with desire, locked onto mine.
“Tonight, you’re mine,” he whispered, his husky voice sending a high current of sexual feelings all through my body.
My heart raced, anticipation building. I felt his warm breath on my skin, his fingers tracing my jawline.
Anthony’s lips brushed mine, a gentle tease. I parted my lips, inviting him in.
Our tongues touched, passion unfolding, he ripped off my dress which was really sexy.
His fingers explored my curves, setting my skin ablaze. I moaned, my voice echoing through the room as he sucked my nipple.
“Daddy!!” I whispered, my body melting into his touch.
Pleasure is built with each sensual caress. Our bodies entwined, lost in ecstasy.
My thoughts dissolved, leaving only sensations. His name was the only sound I could utter.
He moved slowly and gently spread my legs with his face in between them as he stroked my clitoris with his hot tongue. I caressed his head making him go faster and not stop anytime soon. It was crazy and I wanted more.

I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out my dress for what felt like the hundredth time.
“Stop fidgeting, Tessy,” Elizabeth said, chuckling. “You’ve got this.”
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.
“You know, I never thought I’d say this, but Anthony seems like a great person, he means well to you, I can’t believe I will say this,” Elizabeth said, a hint of surprise in her voice. “That modeling deal? He came through for you to get you this gig, now your face will serve its purpose.”
I smiled, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Anthony.
“Thanks, best friend. He’s been amazing.”
We grabbed our bags and headed out, hailing a cab to take us to Wilhelmina New York.
As we arrived, I spotted Rachel waiting outside, her sleek heels and designer suit exuding confidence.
“Right on time,” Rachel said, smiling warmly. “Mr Anthony spoke highly of you, Tessy. I’m excited to discuss the details.”
We exchanged pleasantries and followed Rachel into the elegant office.
The meeting room was filled with glossy campaign photos and stylish furnishings.
Rachel began outlining the contract, highlighting the lucrative terms. I listened intently, my excitement growing. This was it my chance to shine.
Anthony’s support had made all the difference.
Rachel’s eyes sparkled as she handed me the folder containing the contract and details, beaming with excitement.
“Congratulations, Tessy! You will be the face of Wilhelmina’s ‘Eternal Glow’ campaign.”
I opened the folder and scanned the documents.
“A billboard in Times Square?” I asked, my voice trembling and I felt like I was still dreaming, this can’t be real.
Rachel nodded. “And a live stream showcase. You’ll be seen by millions.”
Elizabeth hugged me in excitement saying, “This is incredible! I know your face will make you popular.”
I looked at Rachel, still in awe. “How did this happen?”
Rachel smiled. “Mr Anthony spoke highly of you and we saw the Livestream of BeautyBliss. We believe you embody the ‘Eternal Glow’ spirit.”
I felt a surge of gratitude.
“Thank you, Miss Rachel. This means everything.”
She handed me a pen. “Sign on the dotted line.”I signed the contract, sealing the deal.
Elizabeth hugged me tightly. “We did it, Tessy!”
Rachel joined in, her eyes shining. “Welcome to Wilhelmina, Tessy. We’ll make you shine.”
The three of us shared a joyful laugh.
“Tomorrow, 9 am sharp, report to our office to begin,” Rachel said. I’ll be there,” I promised.
Elizabeth grinned mischievously. “Tonight, we celebrate!”
Elizabeth and I arrived at Pizza Palace, buzzing with excitement. We took our seats, surrounded by the savory aroma of freshly baked crust.
“Congratulations once more dear friend!” Elizabeth cheered, raising her glass.
We clinked glasses, enjoying the moment. The pizza arrived, and we dug in, relishing the gooey cheese and tangy sauce.
“I still can’t believe it,” I said, shaking my head. “Me, Tessy, on a billboard in Times Square.”
Elizabeth grinned. “You deserve it. You’re going to rock this campaign, remember when I told you your face is meant to be the Face of New York, this is just the beginning.”
“You are right, I now understand how he feels doing both.” I thought of Jackson.
“What do you mean? I am lost here?” She asked and I just let out a smile because I know so well she will never understand what I mean. I just can’t wait for tomorrow to come and feel special.
I dreamt about it and I was happy I didn’t have the masked figure nightmare, maybe because I was really excited about the whole modeling gig stuff.
Elizabeth and I got ready and we arrived at Wilhelmina’s office, bright and early. Rachel greeted us warmly.
“Today’s the day, Tessy! You got this, break a leg.” Elizabeth’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
The team swarmed around me immediately Rachel clapped her hands, they made me know it was time for them to transform me into a stunning vision.
Francois Nars, the renowned makeup artist, worked magic on my face. “Perfect,” he declared, stepping back to admire his handiwork.
Maria, Oscar de la Renta’s designer, fitted me into a breathtaking gown. The silk fabric hugged my curves, making me feel like a goddess.
“Exquisite,” Rachel cooed, adjusting the gown’s delicate straps.
Jen Atkin styled my hair into effortless waves, each strand framing my face. I felt like a celebrity at that moment, like is this real? I really hope it’s not a dream because if it’s a dream, then I choose to never wake up from it. How wish he was here to snap me himself, he is good with it. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I thinking of Jackson all of a sudden? This is not right, I need to stop.
“Time for rehearsal,” Franco called, his voice echoing through the studio and I got interrupted from my deep thought and nodded my head as I was directed by one of them to the rehearsal room.
The live stream rehearsal went seamlessly. Franco guided me through the script, highlighting the key benefits of “Eternal Glow.” I like the fact they are showing me real love.
“Natural ingredients, anti-aging properties, and cruelty-free testing.”
“Camera-ready,” Franco announced, giving me a thumbs-up.
I closed my eyes and told myself, I can do this.
The actual live stream began, and I shone, showcasing the product. I shared a lot with “Eternal Glow,” highlighting its transformative effects on my skin.
Afterward, Franco declared, “Billboard shoot, let’s go!”
The camera clicked, capturing my radiant smile. As we wrapped up, Rachel handed me a generous gift basket.
“Welcome to the Wilhelmina family, Tessy. You’re now an ambassador for ‘Eternal Glow’.” I beamed, overwhelmed.
As I left the office, my phone buzzed. Dad’s text made my heart skip a beat, “What have you done? Come see me at once.” Did I do something wrong? None I can remember after racking my brain. He texted again, “Get yourself here immediately!!”
