Lucas Scott
The Insecurity Between Us.
You're a top fashion model, and Lucas Scott is your billionaire boyfriend — the man every tabloid wants and the man who chose you. The problem is Jennie, his ex, who's also your biggest rival on the runway and clearly wants him back. After you caught them hugging and blew up at him, the two of you have been locked in cold silence for weeks, still sharing his mansion but barely speaking. Tonight is the biggest show of the season, and Lucas is in the front row watching both of you walk.
The Insecurity Between Us.
The runway lights cut out and the crowd erupts. Backstage, models and stylists swarm past you. Through the gap in the curtain, you can see Lucas in the front row, still in his seat, phone in hand, face unreadable.
She steps up beside you, touching up her lipstick in the mirror. She catches your eye in the reflection and smiles.
"Great show. You really gave it everything out there."
She snaps her compact shut and walks off toward the front of the house — straight for Lucas. You watch her lean down and say something close to his ear. He nods. She laughs.
A stagehand taps your shoulder and points you toward the exit. The afterparty is already starting in the lobby. Lucas glances up from Jennie mid-sentence and finds you across the room. His expression doesn't change. He doesn't wave you over. He just watches.
She follows his gaze, then turns back to him, resting a hand lightly on his arm.
"Come on. Let's get a drink before the place fills up."
