Beauty is a wound. For some women, face is their main asset for survival. But in the brain, beautiful Claudia Belzia is a boomerang for him. She did have names everywhere, but his heart and mind always stuck to one word: William Steve, first ex and first love. The Universe is joking because Willy and Wina's wedding invitation letter arrives without permission. "It's useless for you to be beautiful, Claudia! But you can't move on from your ex! Spread the charm there. Surely many males are attracted to females like you!" provoked Gina, her modeling friend.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to cry there and make a scene at the altar," Gina sneered.
Claudia had been trying to convince herself to attend her ex's wedding. For him, this is a challenge in itself. Yeah, even though his heart is broken and broken.
"You won't break my spirit like that!"
The woman once again checked her appearance. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Claudia is a woman who has a beautiful face, an attractive body, and an intelligent brain. A famous magazine model is often displayed in giant advertisements on the street.
"I'm beautiful, aren't I? It's foolish to have made me like this," said Claudia while spinning in front of her mirror.
"It's beautiful, and it's beautiful. It's useless to fail to move on. Besides, why do you want to come to Willy's wedding? Do you want to beg him? Oh, never mind, he's already happy with Wina, and you also have to be happy looking for prey. You know, you smile and spread charm. Many men are lining up to know."
The long sermon didn't work in her mind because Willy's name had been in her head for so long, and until now, Claudia had tried so hard not to forget it.
Claudia Belzia, a beautiful, eccentric model who just turned 24, graduated from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She meets Willy, a man who accidentally gives her a ride while on vacation near her campus, and fate makes them have a relationship for two years.
"Let's go. Jacob is waiting downstairs!" Gina pulled Claudia's hand because she was too long in front of the dressing table.
Gina is her modeling friend, the same age, and only Gina understands Claudia, who incidentally likes to make people uncomfortable.
They had arrived downstairs, looking like the Goddess of Fortune. From top to bottom, like going to do a photo shoot.
"Do you want to attend a movie premiere or a wedding?" sneered Jacob, his assistant.
How not, see now? Like a princess with her dress and feathers. I don't know; Gina couldn't stop thinking about Claudia's tacky appearance.
In the end, because she was going to meet her ex at her wedding, Claudia's brain became a little skewed. Maybe it hurt too much to make him unable to think straight.
For him, Willy is an ex who is hard to forget. The man's name is still fresh in my memory. On their dates, his concern seemed to be a big question mark as to why Willy could decide on it right when Claudia's birthday.
Stupid times. The bottom line is that he still has to be brave there. It's foolish if Claudia cries blood even once; at least the world should know who hurt who.
***
Pretending to put on a tense face, Gina knew that her best friend would soon show drama crying. As strong as steel, Gina approached Claudia, giving the best consolation so that her friend would let Willy, who had become someone else's husband.
No, Claudia strained all her organs to refuse to remember Willy. However, his heart is the king of his body. He wasn't sure he could live happily after being married off by the most beautiful ex.
He took several sips of the wine in front of him several times and also called the sales assistant to bring the same drink. Gina is concerned.
"Just let us go. I'll chat with Jacob later if you are not feeling well."
"No need, I'm fine."
"But your heart is not?" sure, Gina.
Meanwhile, Claudia just laughed, showing an expression that was difficult to decipher. It hurts, but it's useless. She's not the type of conqueror, although deep down she sometimes thinks, was it Wina that had caused the recent chaos in her relationship with Willy before they got married?
Suddenly, the room became dark with minimal lighting. Several people stood up and walked to the center. Now is the time to dance. He killed; maybe he forgot to bring a partner. At least acquaintances, so it doesn't look like you've come to your ex's wedding.
Maybe because Willy is not as famous as his name, the people who came were only some officials, office people, and married couples. The average person might not be able to guess who Claudia Belzia is.
Gina was already busy looking for Jacob; maybe she didn't want to seem too pitiful to accompany Claudia, who daydreamed a lot.
"Damn, Willy is such an asshole!"
Despite the dim lighting, he could see from a distance. Willy was dancing, kissing, hugging, and talking intimately with Wina.
Yes, she looks happy-happiness above the suffering of other women.
Feeling dizzy, Claudia chose to find a toilet. Luckily, he was still sane enough and didn't bump into anyone. Yes, he is a solid drinker.
Just arrived at the toilet, her dress was stepped on. She turned her head to see who dared to step on her classy dress.
"Shit, you're making it hard for me to move, Dude!"
"Excuse me?"
"Your feet, remove your feet from my fancy dress."
The man looked down, immediately stepped aside, and kept his distance. His eyes were serious, fixed on a familiar woman.
The toilet wasn't as dark as the dance hall. However, the man with blue eyes didn't know at all; more precisely, he didn't care who the woman was.
The toilet wasn't as dark as a dance hall. However, the man with blue eyes didn't know her at all; more precisely, she didn't care who the woman was in front of her.
"Hey, you made it dirty!"
"What else? I told you it wasn't on purpose, right?"
Unable to stand it, Claudia was forced to let go of a man who was in the handsome category, according to her. His face looked familiar, but it was hard to tell.
The man left Claudia with no intention of apologizing or at least feeling guilty. Ah, forget it; handsome people are always annoying.
"Where have you been? I've been dizzy since earlier when I was charged with Grace. She's crazy; she doesn't tire of chasing you," Josh sneered.
Meanwhile, his interlocutor did not budge. Choosing to sit, utterly indifferent to Josh's blasphemy that kept intimidating his brain about Grace. The woman who had asked him out dozens of times, even worse, asked him to marry her.
He is Dave Lennon, an American man who has only set foot there no more than five times.
He settled in Amsterdam after his failed marriage to Elena Dirash.
Buh!!
Because it was dark and a little drunk, Claudia, who had just come out of the toilet, accidentally bumped into someone's back.
"Sorry."
Dave turned his head, watching the woman who had just passed before him. At the same time, his eyes caught Grace Aurelie, who was also walking towards him.
Just as Claudia sat back in her chair, someone's outstretched hand suddenly made her look up.
"Hello, miss. Can I dance with you?"
His eyes blinked a few times, and he consciously answered. "Of course, handsome dude."
