Chapter 60 - 9.1 : The Center of Dimension
It was a bright sunny day. In the top floor of the Virellano family residence, a luxurious room bathed in white and gold hues stretched out grandly. Sheer curtains flowed softly from the high ceiling, catching sunlight that streamed in through the tall windows. The polished white marble floor gleamed beneath the golden-framed walls, which were adorned with elegant portraits of beautiful women in exquisite dresses—all daughters of the Virellano family.
On one side of the room stood a glass display cabinet filled with trophies, medals, and certificates of achievement. At the center, a lavish bed and work desk sat harmoniously among other pieces of high-end furniture. This was Aurielle Virellano’s bedroom.
Today was May 14th—one day before her birthday.
Aurielle was on a video call with her three sisters: Sarah, Lysha, and Elena.
"Don’t cry tomorrow just because we won’t be there," teased Sarah with a mischievous smile. She was sitting in front of a makeup mirror, surrounded by stylists and makeup artists fixing her hair and makeup.
"We already left our gifts with Sister Clarista," Lysha added, sipping juice from a glass. Sitting next to her was Nayala, David’s fiancée—technically their future sister-in-law—who nodded with a warm smile.
"I hope your gifts aren’t weird," Aurielle chuckled lightly.
On a slightly dim screen appeared a woman with long black hair shaded with a soft green-white gradient. Though her face remained in the shadows of her lighting, it was unmistakably Elena, the fifth Virellano daughter—an internationally renowned model and influencer.
"Sorry, sis. I’m still in Milan. My photoshoots are packed... hiks. But I’ll send something special tomorrow," said Elena casually as she tied her hair.
"Don’t tell me it’s just another voice note, Sister Lena!" Lysha teased.
"Ugh, as if!" Elena shot back instantly.
They all laughed together. The warmth and closeness between them was undeniable. Even though they couldn’t be there in person, their hearts remained in one place—with their sister, Aurielle.
