The Devil's Love For The Heiress

Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Model Partners

No. They did not come to an agreement while at the office. Even after arriving at Carlos’ home, Kate was still firm with her decision not to let Savannah model with Carlos.

Entering Carlos’ bedroom, Kate repeated, “No. I don’t want to.”

“What is about Savannah that you dislike so much? I told you, she is a friend,” Carlos insisted. He sighed before taking off his coat and settling it on the bedside table. When he returned his regard to Kate, she was still fuming, her arms against her chest. He asked, “Kate?” Carlos was already unbuttoning his shirt when he walked over to the other side of the bed and sat. He held Kate by the waist and pulled her frame, his arms quickly wrapped around her. After savoring her sweet scent, he requested, “Tell me, my Kate. Tell me.” The Devil felt Kate’s chest dramatically rise. After she let out a sigh, she said, “Because.” When Carlos looked up, Kate was searching on her phone. After she turned her mobile to him, a grin formed on his face.

His Kate was jealous.

Kate showed him the pictures of when he and Savannah modeled for Speedo. She even had it saved in her gallery.

A chuckle left Carlos’ lips, making Kate even more furious. She asked, “You find this amusing? That woman had her hand on your abs!”

Angrily pointing at another picture, Kate said, “This one! This one! You were holding her waist, your hands touching her skin”

“But of course, our skins would touch.”

“Carlos!” Kate objected.

Carlos tightened his hold around her, pulling Kate to sit on his lap. He studied her beautiful face and caressed her cheek with his knuckles. He said, “I still can’t get over the fact that you are being jealous. Knowing you have a copy of those pictures makes me feel loved.”

“You do realize it’s just a modeling job, right? And I accepted as many modeling jobs to get to where I am today. Sponsors pay more than my wins,” Carlos reminded him. “I did everything I can to be the man you can be proud of…So, don’t be jealous because even if I was modeling with someone else, everything I did was for you.” Kate rested her forehead on Carlos’. She touched his face with both her hands, asking, “You don’t like Savannah in any way?” Another chuckle left Carlos’ lips when he answered, “No. I only… love and want you.” “And you should know, Alex and Savannah had a thing. That is probably why Alex wants her to be the model for the watch,” Carlos revealed

Lifting his brow, Carlos leaned back, saying, “Now that I think about it, during our shoot, Savannah kept asking about Alex.” “You think they like each other?” Kate asked, her hands relaxing down on his chest

Carlos explained to Kate what happened between Savannah and Alexander. After which, he said, “So, now that Savannah has forgiven Alex. I think he wants to make up for his previous mistake… I don’t know where it would lead, but if Alex likes Savannah romantically, I will root for her.”

“I see.” Kate acknowledged. “Okay, then.”

Kate thought deeply, her brows meeting as she pondered how the photo shoot would go. Seconds later, she had a lightbulb moment and said, “I have a great idea.”

Two days passed. “Thank you for doing this, Savannah,” Carlos said after seeing Savannah walk into the studio, already dressed for the photo shoot. “I trust your accommodation was comfortable?” “Very comfortable. I stayed at the Diamond Hotel in London, which was nice. The one I’m staying at right now lives up to its brand,” Savannah admitted. “And don’t thank me just yet because you will pay me.” “I

will,” Carlos replied with a chuckle. “My assistant mentioned you already signed the contract.” “We will be arranging your payout accordingly,” Carlos replied, his hand guiding her to the front of the studio.

“You look really nice,” Savannah said, complimenting Carlos’ attire. “Thank you,” Carlos replied, looking down at his dark gray slim-fit blazer, his white shirt beneath it, and his necklace dangling around his neck. He replied, “It’s for the photo shoot.” “You look perfect yourself,” Carlos remarked, referring to her rose-brown dress. “Yeah, this dress simply spells elegance,” Savannah responded, admiring her dress. Then she pouted, saying, “Though this color is not a good match for your attire.”

“That’s fine,” Carlos said while acknowledging the people around. Kate walked in just in time, wearing a royal blue overlap dress. As she spoke to Savannah, his eyes lingered on Kate. “It’s fine.”

“What?” Savannah asked, bemused.

With a smile, Carlos stretched his arm toward Kate and introduced, “Savannah, this is my girlfriend.” His face turned a shade darker as he resumed, “Kate Wright.”

Savannah’s eyes widened. Her mouth fell open, her gaze landing on Kate. For seconds, she struggled to reply, but eventually, she found the words to say, “You have a girlfriend? And it’s not Hailey Mckenzie?”

“Ah, no,” Carlos answered, “There was nothing between Hailey and me.” “Never. Not even once,” kate supplied. She turned to Carlos with narrowed eyes, confirming with an angry tone, “Right?”

“Yes, iny Kate Nothing went on between Hailey and me.” Returning his attention to Savannah, Carlos revealed, “It has always been… my Kate.”

Kate, Savannah Kright,” Carlos introduced

“It’s nice to meet you. You are beautiful, and the way Carlos blushes beside you is just amazing,” Savannah said while shaking Kate’s hand. “And your last name is Wright? Could it be –

“The Wright Diamond Corporation is her family’s company. You are staying at a Diamond Hotel for a reason,” Carlos revealed, making Savannah gasp.

“Oh, my god!” Clasping Kate’s hand, Savannah said, “It’s an honor to meet an heiress!” Her mouth remained open as she asked, “Hoowww? I want to know the details. You have got to tell me the details! This news is simply juicy!”

Carlos and Kate laughed together. Their stares frequently returned to each other as Savannah continued to leave shocking remarks. Eventually, Carlos said, “We have all the time while you are here in Braeton. We can talk about it, then.”

“Shall we start?” Their chat abruptly ended when the photographer called for their attention. Referring to one side of the set, he said, “Mister Ronaldo and Miss Wright will go first.”

Directing his attention to Savannah, the photographer stated, “Miss Knight, you can take your seat first until it’s your turn.” Seeing how Kate and Carlos were holding hands, pacing to the made-up set, Savannah asked The Devil, “Wait. I thought I was modeling with you?”

“Um,” Carlos scratched his head. He reluctantly replied, “Kate and I will be posing for the shoot together, though we will have photos as a group, too.” “Huh?” With a frown, Savannah asked, “So, I’ll be modeling alone?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“No, you’ll have a partner,” Carlos revealed.

“Who?” Savannah asked, utterly confused. “Behind you,” Carlos said.

Slowly, Savannah turned to the door, and there she saw Alexander Jenkins walking in his green eyes looking straight at her. “No,” Savannah said under her breath’This can’t be happening.’

Instantly, Savannah’s heart raced.

Heartbeats later.

“The eyes,” the photographer directed. “You need to look like you love each other.”

Savannah gasped. Her face turned bright red while forcing her gaze to return to Alexander. As she did, she wondered why the models had to act as a couple when they were posing for a watch!

It was easy for Carlos and Kate since they were an actual couple, but for Savannah, it was difficult to act it out with Alexander. Sure, she had done so in her past modeling jobs, but it was different with Alexander. She wasn’t supposed to get close to the man she was trying to avoid!

‘I’m supposed to be moving on” She screamed in her head,

“Relax,” Alexander whispered, his body leaning forward to repeat the entire process. “Relax, Sav.”

She gulped, putting her palm on Alexander’s face. She looked up to meet his stare, and their eyes locked on each other’s faces, their foreheads touched. Savannah had her watch on her right wrist while Alexander had his on his left wrist for display purposes. While she caressed his face, his right hand held her forearm.

“Look at each other with love,” the director repeated his instructions.

Savannah’s gaze turned soft, and her breathing became steady, all while looking into Alexander’s athletic face.

Snaps could be heard left and right as the photographer took pictures of them. While this was all happening, Savannah could not help but think, ‘Why is he looking at me strangely?’ How she wished she could turn away, especially since she was sensing her face burn under at the way he was looking at her. Savannah swore, Alexander barely blinked. This strange tenderness in his gaze was creeping into her heart. It felt genuine, and it scared her. “Almost done,” said the photographer, and Savannah felt relieved.

Just when she thought it would end soon, she heard Kate say, “I think it’s better if their noses touch. It’s more intimate. A romantic kiss would certainly be nice, too!” 1 ‘This can’t be happening,’Savannah inwardly complained.
