"Audrey," Dmitri whispered when the call connected. “Hey !” He softly said. "Dmitri ?” Audrey instant got up in the middle of the night when she heard his voice. “Is everything ok ? How come you're calling at this late hour ?" she asked in a concerned tone, all her sleepiness vanishing from her eyes as numerous worst case scenarios ran through her mind. "I just received the message of confirmation for my departure tomorrow for a medical volunteer camp in the interiors of the countryside," Dmitri informed. Audrey took a breath of relief, relieved that Dmitri was safe before she jerked back. Dmitri was leaving ? No ! She was going to miss him so much. "Which camp, Dmitri ?" Audrey asked. She was missing him already.  "It's a medical camp,” Dmitri replied. “It is a cam

Audrey noticed Rachel clutching a bunch of unfamiliar reports close to her chest but chose not to comment when she noticed Dmitri approaching them. "Plans with the good doctor, Ms. Blaydes ?" Rachel teased while nudging her elbows at a flush faced Audrey. "Yes and stop giving me that look. It's just a celebratory dinner at his home," Audrey huffed. "Congratulations, my love ! I'm so proud of you," Dmitri huskily said. "And congratulations to the Valedictorian !" Dmitri beamed at Rachel before shaking her hand with his free one. "Thank you, Doctor ! Now I would like to excuse myself as I have to find Leo. God knows where he is," Rachel huffed. "Enjoy the evening, you two !" she called out as she hurried away and winked at a glaring Audrey with a laugh. "She drives me crazy," Audrey muttered under her breath but chuckled nonetheless with a shake of her head. As

"Good Morning, love ! Get ready and come for breakfast and this is for you," Dmitri greeted his lady love with a kiss before handing over a beautiful floral opal coloured dress to Audrey. "Oh my god ! This dress is beautiful. Thank you, Dmitri !" Audrey squealed in delight as she saw Dmitri looking at her with all smiles. "Now, stop smiling and looking at me. Let me get ready. See you at the breakfast table," Audrey said, making Dmitri grin. "My smiles are constant, my beloved since you delighted me with your pregnancy news. I feel like I am in seventh heaven, forgetting all my worries and past. It is a feeling I can't put into words," he said as he walked out of the room and into the kitchen. Dmitri got a beautiful tray and dressed it up with flowers, fresh fruit and plated it up with an array of her favourite breakfast dishes in wooden cloches. He l

For Audrey, the weekend came sooner than imagined. Dmitri visited the Blaydes’ mansion to meet Audrey's parents regarding his marriage proposal.  "We live in a society in which the criteria for the selection of the perfect partner can turn out very differently," Mr. Blaydes commented while interacting with Dmitri at his home- his den. "You're right, Mr. Blaydes. Our world is driven by consumerism that often prevents us from seeing the things that really matter," Dmitri replied politely. "While some are looking for a better half with a great personality, others may choose their partner by economic factors. But is it the definition of love ?" Audrey asked, looking at her Dad dead in the eye, silently asking him to be lenient with her lover.  However, her father chose to ignore her and listened to what Dmitri had to say. 

The stage had only gotten bigger since that fateful day three years back, when she had decided to enter the modelling world. The unstoppable multi-hyphenate, Audrey, had conquered every field imaginable in the modeling portfolio. But, not a day went by in these three years, when her eyes couldn't stop lubricating a stream of incessant tears. "Welcome, Audrey ! What brought you today to my cabin ?" Calvin asked as he greeted on the supermodel’s visit to the modelling agency's headquarters. "It had been a long time since I met you, so I just dropped in to say hello !" Audrey replied. "So, what is next on the horizon for my dear friend and supermodel after a string of epic highs ?" the handsome Calvin Hughes asked with a pleasing smile on his face. "I'm planning to be a voice for all the injustice that happens in our fashion industry, besides focusing and constantly
