Chapter 2: Collaboration with SunX

I was the only child of Rose Hunter and Jonathan Hunter. My mom was a designer but her designs weren’t giving her any income nor recognitions while my dad was a lawyer who wasn’t given that much cases because he wasn't popular enough some of his coworkers usually called him incompetent and mocked him because he had apparently never won a case. His only popularity came for being incompetent. We were pretty much poor, and I got physically and emotionally abused a lot by them while growing up but thank God I had Emma in my life my only safe place until Victor came in when I was 18, he was 21.

I knew him just like everyone else he was the son of a world wide actor and a model, his family the Lenois were extremely rich people and had always been rivals to the Heils. But the fact that he suddenly appeared in my life was a surprise but at the same time it made me feel good in many ways. I started appearing on the Internet as Victor’s girlfriend, anyways I didn’t have the choice but to accept being his girlfriend and thanks to him my family also started being known and my mother began gaining money from her work while my dad started getting more and more cases just because of the media. Everything was like a fantasy I fell in love with him, he was my very first love and he seemed to love me too so the next year we got married.

I was happy, very happy my life was like a fairy tail until the wedding buffet many celebrities came, congratulating us, my parents acted like I was the best thing that ever happened to them and for the very first time they were proud of me but what really scared me and made me think that it wasn’t actually a good decision was when Victor’s rival Xander Heil came to us that day. To this day he is the most gorgeous man I had ever laid my eyes on, his face is literally unforgettable. I will always remember his intimidating height and piercing gaze as he looked at us and congratulated us while stating that he couldn't attend the wedding ceremony because he had work to do. Then surprisingly he looked at me for some split seconds with an intensity that almost made me weak in the knees, I could have sworn his eyes darken during does seconds. But it could have been an illusion, because I was the only one who seemed to have noticed then he left. At that instant Victor’s hold on my hand tightened I looked at him, and he looked furious, his teeth clenching and his brows furrowed he looked like a volcano who was about to erupt and it was scary. He didn't let go of my hand it iwas like he wanted to break it. It was hurting and I told him but he didn't let go until someone came towards us did he finally let go of it. He left without apologizing or even sparring me a glance, I did not expect this kind of treatment, being abused and ignored on my wedding day by my husband hurted me so much I decided to leave and even the next day he didn't pay attention to me nor did he talk about it even after seeing the bandage on my hand, everything just got worse and worse. I was mistreated, insulted, and abused. He would slap me if I talked back to him and have sex with me without my consent, and even if I consented to it, it will be brutal and painful. Sometimes he would cum and just leave me hanging, no kissing and no unnecessary touching. I felt used every single time and that wasn't even the worse until he started bringing other women home despite my presence and will make out or have sex with them on our bed but I couldn't do anything about it.

I obviously told my parents but they didn't give a shit they will remind me that I have always been useless and now I am useless even to keep a husband and call me other hurtful names, all they wanted was the money and fame and if I divorced Victor they will lose it so they warned to disown me if I dared do that. All I could do was suck it up and endure the pain. If not Emma I would not have been here no more she was my everything and she was right when she said that I should start enjoying myself because I definitely wasn’t. I don’t remember the last time I went to a cinema or to a spa all I did was stay home and go to work or events related, sometimes go shopping too apart from that life was pretty boring to me.

Emma dropped me at my Enterprise it wasn't that big. It was a five story company and I loved it. Especially the pink and white accents inside. When I entered everybody bowed down at me while greeting and I made the effort to greet everyone while walking my way to the elevator to go to the fifth floor, where my office was located. LARA Beauty was a cosmetic brand which main product is its body milk which can be used by everyone no matter the skin color. I really wanted a product which could be suitable for every race because many women or men will buy body milks depending on their skin but if we could stop searching for something depending on our skin tone and we could all use the same product it will be easier for everyone I thought that is how LARA Beauty and it’s products came to life and I was happy about Myself. I thought the idea was pretty cool. My brand was already widely known and bought but to increase the sell’s I decided to Email other companies today so that we could collaborate.

I was now sat in my all white office, at the back of the room, behind my desk was a large book shelf with my favorite books, and infront was a couch looking at the TV on the wall for when I relaxed. I also had a counter at the back on my left and my espresso maker attached to it, there wasn't much in here, just minimal things I liked.

I contacted around 10 luxurious new brands just like myself but the most prestigious and popular out of all of them was called SunX which is a sunglasses enterprise. They accepted my offer only a minute after I wrote a long ass paragraph to them explaining how I wanted us to work together and how it could benefit both. The only thing they wrote was “With Pleasure” and that made me smile.

The others haven't even read yet of course i send a group message literally less than two minutes ago. I wonder if SunX even had the time to read through it but whatever I was glad the most popular brand out of all of them accepted so quickly. I thought it was also because of my influence. Well amongst the new brands I had the third most successful one.

I wrote again ‘Thank you so much’ then in a separate text

‘When will you like us to meet and talk about it?’ I send and seconds later

SunX: ‘Whenever it pleases you’ the person behind it replied making me flustered for some reasons he or she was a gentleman or gentlewoman, I thought giggling.

Then I replied ‘Tomorrow Afternoon if it pleases you’ I teased, I don’t know why I did that but I did and it made me smile, after about three minutes of waiting I was getting annoyed and sad did they found me too childish? Did they not want to collaborate anymore. I was starting to overthink and about to move away from my laptop when it ringed signaling I just received an Email I looked up to see

SunX: ‘What time?’. And i thought, the only activity I had yesterday was going to the spa in the morning with Emma. Yeah I decided to have fun, I guess the spa was fun. But after that I am sure she will want us to go eat somewhere else and do some shopping too so I replied ‘5 PM' hoping it wasn't too late but the person immediately replied with

‘Ok’. I did not really like the short responses but I was happy to have at least gotten something. My very first collaboration with a prestigious brand like that made me so excited.
