Chapter: Chapter 101.One Month Later...Snowmelt glittered along the sidewalks and the city looked softer, calmer. Almost a month had passed since Jessica stood under the blinding lights of the press conference. Since then, courtrooms, lawyers and quiet boardrooms had replaced microphones and cameras. The world she had fought to reclaim was finally hers.Jessica sat at the wide glass desk that once belonged to her mother. Sunlight spilled across the papers in front of her, balance sheets, partnership agreements, and staff reports. William leaned over her shoulder, pointing at a column of numbers on the screen.“You’ll get the hang of it,” he said, his voice low and encouraging. “It’s all logic. Flow of money. Flow of decisions.”She gave him a small, amused smile. “Easy for you to say. You grew up in this world.”“True,” he said, pressing a hand to the back of her chair. “But you’re learning faster than anyone I’ve seen.”She looked back at the numbers. Her mother’s company. Her mother’s legacy. “I still

Chapter: Chapter 100.Belinda stared at the television, the sound turned low but the images impossible to ignore. Her own face filled the screen, frozen mid-blink as the anchor recited the latest headlines: “Actress Belinda Harrison Under Investigation for Bribery and Fraud.”Her phone vibrated for the hundredth time. She finally picked it up. “Jericho?” she said, her voice shaky. “Please tell me you’re on your way.”There was a long silence. Then Jericho’s deep voice, colder than she had ever heard it. “Belinda, it’s over.”She sat up straighter, clutching the phone. “No. No, it’s not. We can fix this—”“I just watched Jessica’s press conference,” he said flatly. “The documents. The bribes. The casting couch. And Leon—your father.”She winced at the word. “Jericho, listen to me—”“No,” he snapped. “You lied to me. For years I've been by your side, hoping I could fix you but this... I just can't.” he muttered.“I had to do it!,” she whispered. “You don’t understand how hard it is—”“I understand enough,”

Chapter: Chapter 99.The auditorium buzzed like a hive. Reporters squeezed into rows of folding chairs, microphones clustered on the long wooden table at the front. Camera lights glared against polished floors. Outside, protesters held signs with Leon's name crossed out in red.Jessica stood behind the curtain, fingers digging into her palms. She drew in a steadying breath, squared her shoulders, and stepped onto the stage. Flashbulbs popped like fireworks. The roar of voices dimmed to a murmur as she took her place at the podium.“Good evening,” she said, her voice clear over the microphones. “My name is Jessica Newman.”A hush fell. Every camera swung toward her.“I’m here tonight to tell the truth about my mother, Janet Belles. Five years ago, she died under circumstances the police called 'fire accident'. That was a lie.”She paused, letting the words sink in. “It was murder. Planned and ordered by the man who was supposed to protect her — my mother’s husband, Leon Harrison.”Gasps rippled through th

Chapter: Chapter 98.Night air clung to Jessica’s coat as she stepped out of the car and into the quiet courtyard of Leon Estate. On second thoughts, she told Reed to take her to Leon. The sprawling mansion loomed above her, its windows like dark eyes watching. The will was in her purse, the original copy her mother had hidden before she died. It named names, offshore accounts, and most importantly tied Leon Beaumont to the trafficking ring. Jessica’s hands trembled as she zipped the bag.William had argued for hours, but in the end he’d let Reed take her to Leon. She climbed the steps, heels clicking softly. At the top she paused, steadying her breath. She rang the bell once. The door opened almost instantly, as if Leon had been standing behind it.He looked older tonight. Gray threading his temples, suit jacket unbuttoned. Yet his eyes were sharp and predatory.“Jessica,” he said slowly. “Home at last.” he smiled.She held his gaze. “I’m not here to stay. We need to talk.”His mouth curled faintly. “

Chapter: Chapter 97.Next Day...Jessica sat in the back seat, her phone resting in her lap, screen dark. She stared out at the skeletal trees, hands curled into fists inside her coat pockets. The lawyer was here. Somewhere in this remote clinic, hiding behind a false name and a crumbling brick façade. If they didn’t get him out tonight, Leon would.William sat beside her, dark-clad, his face half in shadow. In the front seat, Reed — his head of security — drove with one hand, the other resting on a holstered weapon.“You’re sure he’s inside?” Jessica asked, voice low.Reed nodded. “Room 312. He checked in under the name Edward Barron. We’ve got eyes on the hallway. No sign of Leon’s men yet.”Jessica exhaled, fogging the window. “Yet.”William glanced at her. “Once we’re in, stay behind me. Reed’s team will sweep the exits.”She gave a short nod. “I can handle myself.”“I know you can,” he murmured, “but tonight, let me handle it.”The SUV rolled to a stop behind the building. Reed killed the engine. Je

Chapter: Chapter 96.Jessica tightened the clasp on her diamond cuff as the black SUV slid through the private drive of the Clarendon Hotel. Beyond the tinted glass, a sea of camera flashes and velvet ropes glittered. The premiere wasn’t set to begin for another hour, yet the sidewalk was already lined with fans and photographers, their phones as they took pictures and videos.She inhaled slowly, feeling the silk of her gown slide against her skin. The fabric was deep emerald, cut to skim her waist and fall in a liquid ripple to the floor. “Ready?” William asked beside her. His voice was quiet, but it thrummed with something unspoken — alertness, maybe even tension.Jessica turned to him, studying the strong line of his jaw. He was impeccable as always in a tailored black suit with his hair sleeked back.“As I’ll ever be,” she murmured.William’s gaze flicked to her hand resting on her lap. “Nervous?”“I’m thinking,” she said. “About Leon. About tonight. About everything.”His thumb brushed her knuckles.

Chapter: Chapter 35: Our First EncounterThe brief silence that settled between them pressed harder on Elara with every passing second.Her gaze slowly lowered to his chest, her lips slightly parted. What should she say at this moment?As she lifted her head to speak, her phone suddenly began ringing.Julian turned toward her bag, which vibrated slightly with the ringing of the phone.“I... I need to go,” Elara murmured, pulling away from his grip. She grabbed her bag and walked away.“Hello?” she answered as she left without turning back._______Eclipse Models...Elara hurriedly walked into the office to meet Lyra discussing with the other models who were to wear her designs for tomorrow.“I’m late, sorry. Something came up,” Elara sighed as she walked up to them.Lyra smiled. “It’s okay. I was just discussing with them how the event was going to turn out,” she muttered.“I really pray that tomorrow is a success,” Elara sighed.“Hey.” Lyra held Elara’s hand. “You’re Elara. You’ll definitely ace it,” she reassured her.Elar

Chapter: Chapter 34: Claim MeFor a brief moment, Elara stood rooted to the spot, staring in the direction Julian had taken.“...right, Elara? Elara?”“Huh?” Elara blinked, turning to face Aria.“What were you saying?”Aria exchanged glances with the others before looking at her.“We were thinking if we should go on a trip. Your birthday is next month,” Aria said.Elara smiled. “That would be nice,” she muttered.“Great! Let’s go. I’m hungry.” Aria held Elara’s arm as they were guided to their table.Walking into the VIP sector, Elara’s gaze locked with Julian’s. He was sitting not far from her.Once again, he looked away.Her chest tightened as she looked away too, feeling a boiling sensation rising in her chest.They all settled at their assigned table, and the attendant began taking their orders.Soon after, their food arrived.They all ate while discussing and laughing in between.Henry immediately gulped down a glass of wine as he nearly choked from laughing at something Isabel said.Elara laughed at the scen

Chapter: Chapter 33: Let's Have Team DinnerLyra released Elara, wiping off her tears with an embarrassed giggle.“Thank you so much, Elara. I promise I won't let you down,” she said.Elara smiled. “I know you'd do a great job. Friday is just two days away, so do make sure you come tomorrow. Let's tweak the dress to fit your proportions,” Elara said, raising her hand to help her clean the small tear on her cheek.As expected, the expensive diamond on her finger didn't go unnoticed.Lyra gasped and immediately took her hand, examining it closely.“Oh my God... No way... Elara, are you engaged?” She looked at Elara with wide eyes.“Keep it low!” Elara hushed her.She bit her lips, looking down at her finger before giving a small nod.Lyra's hand flew to her mouth, gasping louder.“Oh my God!”Elara let out a small smile, rubbing the ring. “The wedding is next month,” she muttered.“That's the reason why I invited Vance. I didn't want it to come as a surprise to him, so I wanted to tell him for old time's sake, but seeing him in p

Chapter: Chapter 32: Friends Have Each Other's BackElara gazed at him with wide eyes, her breath getting shallower by the second. Her thoughts spiraled in various directions, yet none could provide answers to her questions.Julian's brows furrowed even more.“Elara, what—” Julian raised his hand to feel her cheek, but before it could come in contact with it, Elara hurriedly left the room.She made her way to the kitchen and immediately grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.Thankfully, everyone in the household had retired to bed.Chugging down the water in heavy gulps, she dropped the bottle on the counter, heaving out deep breaths as she tried to steady her emotions after this huge discovery.Julian had died... Or more correctly, Julian will die. But why?Was it an accident?Did he have an underlying sickness she wasn't aware of?Was he murdered?The more she thought about the various possibilities that presented themselves, the quicker her heart raced.How much of her knowledge could she trust at this point when the past she wa

Chapter: Chapter 31: The PhotographElara's eyes twitched as she looked at Sebastian, who was now laughing at something Lorraine said.Her gaze returned to her phone. Blurred pictures of Richard, hanging from his cell window, were being displayed.Her stomach immediately churned in disgust.She knew Sebastian was someone to be wary of... But never in her wildest imagination did she imagine him being capable of taking it to this extent.Her fists folded tightly the more she thought about it. Without thinking twice, she jerked up, her chair screeching backwards.Her burning gaze remained on Sebastian as she marched towards him, but just when she was two steps away from him, Julian intercepted her.“Come with me.”“Julian —”Before she could utter another word, Julian pulled her to the side.“Your mood changed,” Julian commented.“Sebastian killed him,” Elara gritted her teeth, glaring at Sebastian, who was far away from them.Her gaze returned to Julian. “Richard is dead, hanging in his cell, but I'm sure it wasn't ordina

Chapter: Chapter 30: SuicideEvening...“C’mon, guys...” Gwen pouted as she dragged Tristan’s arm.“Gwen is right. It’s been a while since we’ve had a team dinner night since our former teammate quit. The night is still young, after all,” Alex said, then looked at Elara for an answer.Elara let out an awkward smile. “Umm...”“Tonight won’t be possible. I had a little accident, remember? My head is aching so badly right now,” Tristan replied.Gwen sighed, slowly releasing his arm.“I’ll get going then. Gwen, let me drop you off,” Alex said, and Gwen nodded with a smile.They all looked at Elara.“You guys should go without me. I’ll be fine,” she smiled.“Let’s go. I’ll drop you off,” Tristan muttered, taking her bag from her.“I’m fine.” Elara stopped him. “I already booked a ride. It’s on its way.”Tristan frowned. “Are you sure you’ll be fine?”Gwen and Alex exchanged glances with raised brows before looking back at them.“I’ll be fine. Now go. It’s so weird having you worry about me,” Elara smirked.Tristan sta
