Rewriting My Heart's Fate

"Absolutely." Austin nodded firmly. "But I've got a small condition." "What's the condition?" Ethan and I asked at the same time.

Austin grinned and said casually, "I want you to wear your best gown and close out the night at Lendora Fashion Week. If you can nail it and show what you're made of, I'll help clear your name. Sound good?"

I was blown away. Walking the runway at Lendora Fashion Week in a gown I designed myself? That was every designer's dream! Plus, this was about whether I could clear my name and restore my reputation! But the problem was I wasn't a professional model and didn't have a nice gown for this. Caroline, that backstabber, ruined my best work.

The best I could do for the stage was throw on some half-decent stuff made from leftover scraps. If I screwed up at Lendora Fashion Week, wouldn't that just prove the whole "plagiarism" accusation? I found myself in a tough spot.

Ethan saw the worry on my face. He took my hand and calmly said, "Evelyn, don't worry. I'll get you the perfect gown. Just trust yourself and go for it."

I gave him a grateful look and nodded firmly. It was do or die at this point, so I decided to go all in. I had to take the stage tonight, even if it meant risking embarrassment in front of those real models or that impostor! I faced Austin and said, "Alright, I'm in, but I might need some time to get things together..."
