Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 40

As the competition kicked off, the air turned electric. The stage lights dimmed, and one by one, models strutted out with elegance and grace.

Greta's creations, spun from luxurious fabrics and teamed with opulent jewels, epitomized graceful sophistication. She nailed the regal vibe, and the crowd was absolutely captivated. Thunderous applause echoed through the room, setting the bar sky-high. The judges were all in agreement, giving her scores above 9.5. Word spread quickly. "Greta's the unexpected star of the night. She's surely the one to beat."

When Greta's segment wrapped up, Cameron finally exhaled, shifting his focus to searching for Nellie. But as the next contestants took the stage, Cameron couldn't hide his disappointment. None of them had the features he was hoping to see. He was about ready to give up on finding Nellie.

The scores for those who followed didn't quite match up to Greta's, which secretly pleased her. She was almost certain she had the win in the bag.

Then came the last contestant, whose fashion show lit up the stage, drawing cheers from the audience.
