"Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now
Well, I, I'm all the way up
I swear you'll never bring me down."

I never thought that telling someone the whole truth about myself would be so relieving. At first, I didn't want to tell him my real story, because I was afraid he would judge me. That's why I never told Charles absolutely everything. Because I know he would turn away from me.

Surprisingly Sérgio didn't judge me. He was very calm when I told him about my life in the Sanchéz family. And how I betrayed his trust and caused a big mafia war, where a lot of bad, but also innocent people died. I also told him that Sanchéz is going after me and possibly also after Charles. He promised me that he will stay in Monaco and make sure that Charles will be safe. But he had to promise me to not tell Charles a word about what he learned from me. He confirmed me one Latin idiom saying that: "amicus certus in re incerta cernitur" which means "a friend in need is a friend indeed". And Sérgio showed me that he is a real friend I can trust. And that real friends still exist these days.

"And cut! Excellent job Jasmine, you were amazing," the director of the music video to our Shout Out to My Ex cover clapped his hands. His name is Henry and it was Lance Stroll's PR Bethany Hopkins who found him for us. He already did a few music videos for other people and he is kinda known. It's not like he is working for Beyonce or Bruno Mars, but he is definitely not an amateur. I've seen some of his videos and I really like it. He is very creative and I can't what is gonna be the result of our work, "now a 20 minutes break and then it's your turn, Ariana," he smiled at me and I did the same. But inside, I was nervous as hell. I performed many times in front of the crowd, but this is different. But I signed up for this and I won't let the girls down.

"I know, I said it dozen times, but I'm completely obsessed with your eyes," Betty, Alexandrina's friend and Lance Stroll's PR manager at the same time was doing my look for the video. What I heard she wasn't good with make-up, but she is much better now. I've seen what she did to Alex, Chloe and Jasmine and it looks magical.

"Thank you," I smiled lightly, trying not to ruin my just finished eyeshadows.

"I know, I'm annoying with my fangirling..."

"It's ok Betty, really," I interrupted her. Some people easily get annoyed by compliments, but that's not my case. Maybe because I didn't get many compliments in my life.

"Really? I can imagine a lot of people are telling you these things," Betty hummed while she was carefully doing sharp eyeliners.

"Actually no. That's why it's not tiresome."

"These people must have been absolutely blind. You are one of the most stunning girls I've ever seen." I laughed slightly and opened my eyes to see how the lines look.
