Chapter Five

The Young Models Triplets

Fifteen minutes later, Dolgoon finally parked in front of a modern fashion studio. The studio proudly displayed the brand name Erdene in the Mongolian writing system on the outside, making it easy for people to recognize. Erdene is a popular fashion brand in Mongolia known for its creative and stylish clothes. Over the past ten years, Erdene has become a top player in the fashion industry. However, things changed three years ago when Erdene faced bankruptcy due to a lack of models. The founder, Erdene Ankhbayar, struggled to find enough models to showcase his brand.

Meanwhile, the triplets were in middle school for students with special needs. When they returned home from school with their father, they found their uncle and mother discussing something in the living room.

"I don't know what to do now, sis. I've done everything to keep the business going, but the lack of models to present my creations and my fashion brand has thrown me to the bottom of the pit,” Ankhbayar confessed his frustration to his older sister.

“Ankhbayar, I can't keep encouraging you to be patient anymore when you're this desperate. But please pray to God so They can increase your faith in managing your business in the fashion industry,” Tsetseg advised her younger brother, patting his back for comfort.

“I always pray, sis. Maybe the time of success is not yet to be given to me by God, but like you say, I need to have faith in this challenge They have given to me," Ankhbayar said.

Listening to their conversation, the triplets transitioned their attention from their uncle and mother on the sofa to their father who was standing behind them, joining them in listening to their uncle's conversation with their mother. Bolormaa signed to her father, pointing out the problem her uncle was enduring. Davaa and Bilguun expressed their sympathy towards their uncle through sign language. “Poor uncle," Bilguun cried. Gentle and understanding, Dolgoon asked his daughters if they wanted to help their uncle. The triplets nodded in unison.

Expansive, Dolgoon then inquired, “Alright, then how are you three going to help him?" His gentle tone made the triplets ponder on the ways they could assist.

Bolormaa suddenly snapped her fingers, gaining the attention of her sisters and her father, indicating that she had an idea. She then signed to her sisters, asking for their opinions first. As Dolgoon watched, his daughters engaged in a lively discussion with each other. Bolormaa proposed the idea of offering themselves as models to present their uncle's fashion brand. Bilguun immediately agreed to her sister's altruistic idea, showcasing her selfless nature, while Davaa hesitated initially before considering the proposal.

She signed, sharing her thoughts on the impact of being teen models. She pointed out that becoming models could expose them to danger by being in the public eye. Additionally, their father was still being hunted by the Dark Weapons, an assassination organization. They may or may not know that the assassin they were after had already married and had three daughters. This made Davaa worry about her sisters' safety since they are not as strong as she is, able to even carry their bodybuilder father.

Dolgoon noticed that Davaa always thinks before acting and he smiled. Bolormaa and Bilguun also agreed with Davaa, understanding the importance of being cautious about their identities as the triplet daughters of a former assassin. If their identities were to be revealed to the Dark Weapons, they might also be hunted. The three daughters looked to their father for guidance and his opinion.

Understanding his daughters, Dolgoon thought for a moment. He said, "You three can be models. But we can't use your real names in public. This way, you can help your uncle without people knowing that you are my daughters."

He suggested asking their mother first. If she agreed to let them be models for their uncle, they could then talk to him about it. The triplet daughters agreed with what their father said.

That evening, after dinner, the triplets told their mother about their plan to help their uncle by being fashion models. At first, Tsetseg was unsure like Davaa. But when she looked to her husband for approval, Dolgoon nodded in agreement. He also shared a suggestion with Tsetseg that he had given to their daughters.

After listening to her husband, Tsetseg gave her permission for their daughters to become models, as long as their uncle promised to keep their identities as her and her husband's daughters a secret. This made the triplets very happy and they thanked their parents, who responded with sign language.

The next day, the triplets told their uncle about their plan to help him by being his models.

"What? You three want to be my models?" Ankhbayar asked to make sure, and the triplets nodded in agreement.

Ankhbayar then reminded his nieces about their identities as the daughters of their former assassin father. However, his older sister had already assured him that they could be his models as long as he kept their identities a secret. He must not reveal their real names in the media or to the public. Instead, he should use their fake government names.

"From now on, their names are Borjigin Bolormaa, Borjigin Davaa, and Borjigin Bilguun." Tsetseg said.

"Is their father's name Borjigin?" Ankhbayar asked, trying to understand the new names of his nieces.

"Ankhbayar, your nieces really want to be models to help promote your fashion brand and keep your business going. As their mother, I can't stop them from doing good things. And as your older sister, I will support you and your passion," Tsetseg explained.

After hearing his sister's words, Ankhbayar couldn't say no to his nieces because he loved them so much. Even though he was concerned about their safety, he knew it wasn't right to hold them back from doing good deeds. So, he allowed his nieces to be his models. He then hired mentors to teach them how to model. Every day after school, the triplets went to modeling lessons for six months before Ankhbayar's big fashion show. A month before the show, they went through rehearsals while their uncle selected their clothing and accessories to be showcased in his show.

Time flew fast and the fashion show was held in Ankhbayar's fashion studio. At the backstage area, Ankhbayar was checking on his nieces at the dressing room as they were dressed in his designs.

“Are you three okay?" He asked while signing to them in the mirror so all of them could see.

The triplets, with their attention now on their uncle, glowed in floral themed dresses adorned with flower crowns and delicate floral earrings. Their porcelain faces, kissed by a hint of light makeup, radiated a brilliance so captivating, it could conquer any heart. Their lips, painted a soft shade of pink, glistened under the light, while their emerald green eyes sparkled with an enchanting allure. The unique combination of their Asian features and fiery red hair added to their already irresistible charm, making them stand out among the adult models. Ankhbayar found himself speechless, utterly dazzled by the incomparable beauty of his nieces.

"Ah, how enchanting you three appear. You possess the same exquisite beauty as your mother," Ankhbayar murmured as he gazed upon them, to which the triplets responded with radiant smiles. Gratefully, he extended his gratitude to the skilled makeup artist who had enhanced their looks. Before long, his assistant delicately informed him that the esteemed guests had settled into their seats and that his spring-themed fashion show was on the brink of commencing. With a heart aflutter, Ankhbayar beckoned his beloved nieces forward, whispering words of encouragement as they prepared for their inaugural debut on the runway, embodying grace and elegance in every step they took.

Lightning danced upon the runway, casting a dreamy spell upon the eyes of the guests. As the fashion show was on the verge of commencing, Ankhbayar graciously made his presence known to the awaiting audience. Upon receiving a bouquet of flowers, Ankhbayar gracefully excused himself from the floral adorned runway, allowing his models to take center stage and showcase his exquisite designs. The melodious tones of instrumental music filled the air, setting the stage for Bolormaa to make her grand entrance from the backstage, captivating all with her elegant stride and matured beauty. Following her was Davaa, who mesmerized onlookers with her confident walk and alluring charm that radiated from within her garments. And then came Bilguun, exuding confidence with every step she took, captivating the female attendees with her androgynous features and powerful presence.

The triplets' ethereal appearance captured the attention and admiration of the esteemed guests, as well as the audience watching through television screens. Feeling compelled to showcase the rare beauty embodied by the triplets, the media orchestrated viral reviews and comments to entice readers to explore an article detailing the modeling debut of three remarkable teenage girls at Erdene's SpringTime Fashion Show. By assisting their uncle as models for his fashion brand, the triplets played a crucial role in pulling Erdene out of bankruptcy, as demand for their designer clothes skyrocketed not only throughout Mongolia, but also internationally.

In addition to revitalizing the Erdene brand, Bolormaa, Davaa, and Bilguun quickly garnered public attention, just as they and their parents had envisioned. Mongolia News deemed them the most captivating teenage girls in the country. Following their rise to fame, the triplets were approached for media interviews. However, due to their disability, their uncle took on the responsibility of answering questions from the press, also disclosing their pseudonyms.

Since his daughters became teen models, Dolgoon knew the danger will come for his daughters as bad people other than the people from the Dark Weapons organization like paparazzi and stalkers would likely invade their privacy. So, he willingly became his daughters' bodyguard.

Exiting their yellow HR-V car, Dolgoon hastily escorted his daughters into the fashion studio. They made an effort to avoid colliding with Ankhbayar as they made their way to the photoshoot room. Upon reaching the door, Dolgoon gestured for his daughters to remain silent, a request to which they nodded in unison. He then cautiously peered outside to check for any sign of his young brother-in-law's presence. Observing Ankhbayar engrossed in conversation with his assistant, Dolgoon discreetly signaled to his daughters. The triplets comprehended the message and discreetly made their way to the dressing room.

Once the daughters had disappeared into the dressing room, Dolgoon breathed a sigh of relief. However, as he turned his gaze towards the photoshoot room, Ankhbayar suddenly emerged, his countenance displaying anger and his arms crossed, causing Dolgoon a momentary startle.

"Brother-in-law," Ankhbayar called Dolgoon in a firm tone. "Are my nieces in the dressing room?" He asked, his red eyes squinted.

"Yes, they are in the dressing room at this moment," Dolgoon nervously replied, nodding his head a few times.

"Did you train my nieces properly before I called you?" Ankhbayar asked after managing to compose himself.

"Yes, we did. However, we engaged in a strenuous spar," Dolgoon responded. "Observe this scar on my face. They collaborated to overpower me, eventually injuring their father, who is a former assassin." He gestured towards the fresh scar on his cheek.

Ankhbayar was impressed. "Indeed, it required the involvement of my elusive sister and her exceptional daughters to defeat Mongolia's deadliest modern assassin."

"Former Mongolia's deadliest modern assassin," Dolgoon corrected his young brother-in-law. "If they were capable of inflicting harm upon me, they may hopefully defend themselves against any perilous threats, particularly those from the Dark Weapons." Abruptly, his cheerful tone shifted to a somber one. Noting this change, Ankhbayar expressed his shared apprehension.

"Brother-in-law, my nieces have blossomed into young women. You and my sister have diligently prepared them for the complexities of the world, including the unforeseen dangers that may lurk. It is comforting to entrust their safety in the hands of God, knowing that the unpredictable is beyond our control.” Ankhbayar reassured his sister's husband.

“I share your sentiments, Ankhbayar. Tsetseg and I find solace in our prayers to God, seeking protection for our precious daughters.” Dolgoon responded with a sense of faith and hope.

Their exchange was momentarily halted as Bolormaa, Davaa, and Bilguun elegantly approached, adorned in captivating attire curated by their talented fashion designer uncle.

“My dearest daughters, you never fail to dazzle with your beauty,” Dolgoon expressed his admiration for the stunning appearance of his triplet daughters.

Ankhbayar couldn't help but chuckle, a sense of pride emanating from his being. “Now, are you three ready for your upcoming photoshoot?” He inquired, to which they all eagerly nodded in unison.
