Billionaire Producer's Secret Wife Chapter Eleven- Present
The Morning After PremierIt was past six when Lucian Vale returned to his penthouse.Not a trace of exhaustion marked his face, but the suit jacket had been removed and the cuff of his white shirt was smeared faintly with a pen mark—a rare imperfection for a man who orchestrated chaos with the grace of a metronome. He didn’t pour a drink. He didn’t turn on the lights. He just walked through the silent living room, the skyline lit up behind him, and picked up his phone.There were twelve new texts. Not one from her.His thumb hovered over the screen before he clicked open the last one—from Jonathan.> Offers already rolling in. Quiet studio talk says Aiden’s performance makes him a lock for Supporting Actor. Miss Rivera's lock is doubtful considering she's relatively new, but more buzz after release could push a nomination at best. Lucian closed the message and didn’t reply. He wasn't surprised. Three years was the deadline she'd given him. It wasn't easy to restore the Rivera name t

Premier Night: Industry Reactions to Half a LifeVARIETY“Produced by Lucian Vale and directed by the reclusive Isobel Myles, Half a Life is an elegant burn through grief and memory, carried almost entirely on the back of a career-defining performance by Serena Rivera.”THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER“From its fog-drenched Berlin interiors to the aching silences of its Vermont flashbacks, this is a film made with surgical care. Isobel directs like a scalpel. Rivera acts like a wound. And Vale Studios lets them bleed.”INDIEWIRE – Grade: A+“The film that wasn’t supposed to happen—the director who doesn’t do studios, the actress who wasn’t even cast six months before shooting—has become the most necessary film of the year.”THE GUARDIAN“At its core, Half a Life is about silence—and the price of breaking it. That it came from a studio-backed production is a miracle. That it’s good is something closer to a reckoning.”How It Happened (And Almost Didn’t):It was supposed to be Seraphina Devacru

Flashback – One Year AgoLucian Vale’s Office, Vale StudiosThe room was silent but not still.It was the kind of silence that came with wealth. Glass walls. Steel lines. Not a paper out of place. The kind of office that was designed to look expensive without showing off, which somehow made it worse. Serena wasn't surprised. Lucian sat behind his desk, watching her the way men like him watched reports. No expression. Just calculation.Serena walked closer. “I’ll do it,” she said quietly. “But I want terms.”She'd gone home to her modest apartment and thought long and hard. Her father would let her stay married to Lucian Vale until both of them are in a grave if he could, but Serena couldn't stand that. She wasn't admittedly dating anyone, but one day, she would like to have a family. A real one. That wouldn't be possible if she was married to him. Not only that, but Serena loved acting. Acting had been a frictional point between her and her mother, always encouraged as silly thing

Back to PresentThe lights flashed like an avalanche. Serena stood between velvet ropes, cameras aimed like snipers. Her name was being screamed in twelve different directions. Flashbulbs erupted every half-second.And then—Questions.“Serena! Is it true Aiden Wolfe requested you personally for this role?”“Was Lucian Vale’s presence during filming intimidating—or inspiring?”“Do you feel pressure stepping into the industry with that last name?”“Any comment on the rumors about Seraphina’s original casting?”“Do you think this film is part of a larger strategy for your image?”“Do you think your mother would be proud?”Each question more pointed. Each smile more loaded.Serena kept walking.Kept smiling.She knew some of these questions came from narrative planted by Lucian for her image. Some from people who saw behind it. She won't answer. Not even to the last question.Would her mother be proud? Serena preferred not to think about it. Lucian was nowhere to be seen after leaving.

Flashback: Lyon, France. 8 years ago. The hallway outside the ICU stretched like a tunnel—too long, too white, too still. It was the kind of sterile quiet that didn’t belong to grief but to aftermath. A stillness after screaming. A silence after thunder. Something final. Serena walked it alone. Each step felt like her feet didn’t quite touch the ground, as if the world had loosened its grip on her, leaving her untethered. Her hoodie swallowed her small frame, her hands curled deep into its sleeves like she could hide from the moment if she just made herself smaller. The lights overhead flickered too bright. The air tasted of bleach and ghosted metal. And beneath it all—beneath the hospital scent of sterilization and endings—there was the echo of something more personal: perfume, faint, long faded. Her mother’s. She had died quietly. That was the worst part. No defiant last word. No final storm. Just a shallow breath. Then stillness. A woman who shone brightly, chaotically, who

Serena stood still, uncertain. She didn’t move. Not right away. She waited two beats longer than she had to—just to gather herself. Quietly. Carefully. Like a ripple waiting to settle. Then she turned. Not submissive. Not defiant. Just… watching. A little hesitant, a little tired. "You'll meet my mother soon." Serena blinked at his back. That...wasn’t what she expected him to say when he said he wanted a word. Her lips parted, but no words came. Lucian's gaze landed on her with the precision of a scalpel—sharp, emotionless. It didn’t ask for understanding. It didn't ask for anything, really. “She doesn’t know anything about this contract. And she won’t.” What? "So…” Serena’s voice was soft, tentative, like she was still testing the ground beneath her feet. “We keep the marriage a secret from the world—but the fact that it is a contract itself a secret from your mother? Am I getting that right?” “Yes.” His tone didn’t waver. No elaboration. No hint of irony. She didn’t know
