From Divorce To Dominance

Vivian thought, 'Tessa had just performed "Come." She has been dancing since she was a kid and has won a ton of awards. And here's Natalie, right out of the gate, taking on something so tough. Doesn't she realize she might not even have the skills for it? Some people

will do anything to get attention. Is she just desperate to be famous?'

Vivian's expression tightened a little as she tried to give a friendly warning. "Ms. Xavier, are you sure you want to do 'Come'? That dance is really hard!",

"Hard? Really?" Natalie tilted her head, confusion showing on her face as she recalled the moves she'd seen. "I don't think so."

Vivian kept smiling, deciding not to comment on Natalie's confidence. After all, if Natalie messed up later, it was on Natalie. Vivian really doubted that Natalie could pull off "Come." Anyone who could handle that dance already had a decent amount of fame in the dance world. If it weren't for Natalie's flaunting her wealth, nobody would even know her.

Vivian's smile faded a little, but she stayed polite. "Then, Ms. Xavier, please get ready. We'll be performing in three minutes." "No need! Let's start now," Natalie said directly.

Natalie was still in that lake-green boxing top, while "Come" needed some hot dance moves. Tessa wore a Tea Dress, mixing classic and modern vibes. Natalie in that outfit just didn't fit. The thought of her jumping into "Come" like that made Vivian cringe. Trying to keep things light, Vivian joked with a dry laugh, "Aren't you going to change, Ms. Xavier?"

Natalie ignored her. Instead, she gave a "thumbs up" to the DJ, then turned her back. When the thumping music started, she dramatically ripped off the lake-green boxing top right in front of everyone, tossing it to the floor. Her movements flowed perfectly with the dance- fierce and wild.

Underneath, she wore a black crop top that showed off her midriff, featuring a heart-shaped design made of sparkling diamonds. Under the spotlight, it shone brightly. Black and white really were the most eye-catching colors.

The tiny tank top hugged her slim figure, showing off her smooth shoulders. Sitting in the VIP section, Darren straightened up, narrowing his eyes in disapproval. He thought, 'What is she thinking wearing something like that in front of everyone? Does she want attention? It is so embarrassing!

Then, a loud crash of drums fired up the atmosphere.

Natalie caught the beat and started to dance. Her body moved like a snake as she effortlessly pulled off some really tough

moves.

The tank top clung to her figure while her loose pants added to the look-she was super stylish. She danced with all her heart, completely lost in the music. Now and then, her slim waist showed, heating up the crowd-sexy, fierce, and really cool. There just weren't enough words to describe her performance.

The stage lights flickered wildly, and the audience erupted in cheers. It felt like the whole world was focused on her; everyone was glued to her. Then, suddenly, the music cut out. With one hand on her forehead, she revealed her striking eyes-playful and proud. For a moment, it was as if everyone's heart stopped. But then, a wave of applause erupted.

[Natalie! Natalie!]

[Nat, Nat, Nat! Ah! I have goosebumps all over!]

[Natalie is unbeatable! This performance is the true 'Come!' I declare this the best version of it!]

[What CAN'T she do? Who knew she could dance this well? Natalie, how many surprises do you have?]

[Watching Tessa dance 'Come' was great, but Nat's performance left me speechless!]

[Can we not compare them? Both ladies are amazing in their own ways!]Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

It took about five minutes for the cheers after Natalie's performance to finally calm down.

Vivian was left speechless, staring at Natalie with a mixed expression. She had started off thinking that Natalie was just a show-off trying to get attention, but it turned out she was incredible. It was clear that Natalie was an amazing dancer. With great flexibility and strength, every move was sharp and on point. Her talent was truly impressive.

"Vivian?" Oscar called out, noticing that Vivian was lost in thought backstage. He reminded her through his earpiece, "It's time to score Natalie."

Vivian snapped back to reality and waved at the three judges to give their scores. She and Oliver both gave an A. Katie, known for being strict, deducted points for a costume issue and gave her a B. But Keaton gave the worst score of an E, which eliminated her right away.

Vivian felt a strong urge to smooth things over, but Keaton continued his harsh critique. "She can dance, but she chose not to? That's just a cheap way to get attention. Nowadays, it seems anyone can audition for these competitions. It's a total eyesore for the audience. Someone like you, who tries every trick to get famous, doesn't deserve to be on this stage." After his rant, he lost interest and stepped outside for a smoke.

Vivian gritted her teeth in frustration. Why did she have to work with someone like Keaton? Every day felt like she was just cleaning up after him. She forced a smile. "Keaton's just an old-school guy; it's no surprise he doesn't appreciate 'Come! Anyway, let him go smoke. By our judging rules, Ms. Xavier's final score will be a C. Congrats, Ms. Xavier! Please take a short break, and once the other contestants perform, we'll regroup."

After stepping off stage, Natalie could hear the crowd buzzing about her performance.

"Her body is amazing! Just looking at her is making me feel tight! Curves in all the right places; it's just killer!"

"How much would it cost to take someone like her out to dinner? Does anyone have connections? Help me out!"

"Anyone know her contact info? I'll pay 30 million dollars for it!"

"Whoa, aren't you getting married soon?"

"Not yet! Besides, once I'm married, having a woman on the side isn't that big of a deal!"

Since they were in the VIP section, all the chatter came from the rich kids of Greton, and they didn't hold back their crude comments. Darren felt a surge of anger. He stood up and headed straight to the backstage area. Just as he arrived, he spotted Natalie entering the restroom. She was still wearing that spaghetti-strap top, her slim waist swaying like a snake, and her soft skin was enough to get his heart racing. The way she moved her hips with each step, the perky behind under her tiny waist seemed to be quietly inviting someone to take a look.

Darren clenched his lips, walking fast without realizing he had followed her into the ladies' room.

He grabbed her shoulder from behind, the smooth touch sending a shiver down his spine. But before he could say anything, his hand was grabbed, and then a sharp pain hit a certain spot.

A mix of pain and sourness he'd never felt before hit him. His mind went blank, and instinctively, he held his crotch, thinking for a moment he was ruined. "Nat..." He stepped back, growling, "Natalie... Ms. Xavier, have you gone crazy?"

Natalie looked at him in surprise. "Why are you following me?"

"I wasn't following you!" Darren, in pain, spoke without thinking

"Mr. Luther, this is the women's restroom," Natalic frowned and looked him up and down, "Did you have a sex change?"

"You're the one who had a sex change!" Darren was both in pain and angry, his temples pounding.

Just then, footsteps were heard from outside, along with the voices of women. Natalie, with an amused look, warned, "Mr. Luther, if you don't leave now, you'll be seen and called a weirdo"

"Shut up!" He pulled her over, pushed her into the nearest bathroom stall, and locked the door behind them.

In the tight space, Darren, tall and straight, towered over the petite Natalic. He could see her skin, so radiant it almost shone, and from his angle, even the curves of her body were clearly visible. A sensual atmosphere filled the air. Darren's throat tightened, and his body started to react.
