Serena had no choice but to call Aunt Torres and inform her that Rex had been found. The older woman, who had been worrying all day, let out a long sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness,” Aunt Torres murmured. “Miss Morales, next time I’ll keep a closer eye on him. I can’t believe he ran off like that.”

Serena smiled gently as she placed Rex in the passenger seat and headed back to Le Châteauesque Manor. “It’s alright, Aunt Torres. Just remember to keep the gate at the front tightly closed. Rex is too lively for his own good.”

“I’ll be sure of it,” Aunt Torres promised, patting Rex’s head affectionately as he wagged his tail.

Although the incident had been resolved, Serena’s thoughts were elsewhere. Tomorrow was the anniversary of her mother’s death—a day she dreaded yet never failed to observe. She packed some clothes, purchased a few gifts for her aunt and uncle, and prepared to visit her hometown.

In the evening, Serena turned her attention to her work. She revised the plans several time

    At the same time, Serena remained completely unaware that the actress Whitney had slapped on set belonged to the powerful Whitehall family. She had tried calling Whitney several times, but each call went unanswered. Whitney was clearly sulking, refusing to engage.Left with no choice, Serena dialed her agent instead.The young woman on the other end answered with a trembling voice, fully aware of Serena’s status. “Ms. Morales…”“Where is she?” Serena asked calmly, though her voice carried a steely edge. “What’s Whitney doing right now?”“She’s… sleeping,” the agent said hesitantly. “I knocked on her door a few times, but she wouldn’t open it.”“As her agent, you should at least know why she hit someone,” Serena said, her voice still cool but pressing.The girl let out a breath, then confessed, “Yes, I know. The director suddenly brought in a new second female lead—without informing us—and made Whitney reshoot an entire sequence. It was that slap scene. The new actress had to slap Whit

    When Serena woke, the morning had long since slipped away—her phone glowed with the time: 10:17 a.m.Her head pounded like a distant drum, her limbs heavy and sluggish. As she slowly sat up, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Shivering slightly, she groped for her nightstand and downed a dose of cold medicine. The moment she tried to descend the stairs, her legs buckled, and she nearly collapsed.Aunt Torres, hearing the noise, rushed over from the kitchen. Her eyes widened in concern as she reached out and touched Serena’s forehead. “Ms. Morales, you’re burning up. Just cold medicine won’t be enough. You need to take something for the fever too.”Serena nodded weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll be fine. I’ll just go in later—”Before she could finish, her phone buzzed on the counter. The caller ID flashed: Marilyn.She answered immediately. “What’s wrong?”“Ms. Morales,” Marilyn’s voice came through in a panic, “something’s happened to Whitney!”That jolted Serena more

    Alexander had already arrived.His bodyguards had sealed off the entire perimeter—a crumbling two-story building in one of New York City's grimiest slums. The structure looked abandoned at first glance, with paint peeling off the walls and boarded-up windows barely holding back the gloom inside. But a closer inspection revealed something far more disturbing.The inside was a disaster zone.Bloodstains marred the cracked plaster walls, mixing with grime and streaks of dried animal waste. It looked more like a crime scene than anything else. The air was thick with the stench of decay, sweat, and fear.This wasn’t their first operation—these dog thieves were professionals in cruelty. They had crammed the latest batch of stolen dogs into a single rusted cage, piled together like trash. The cage reeked of uncleaned filth—clotted blood, rotting kibble, and excrement.Among the terrified dogs were several clear purebreds—pampered pets recently lost or snatched. There were mutts too, strays l

    The next morning, Serena stepped out of Le Châteauesque Manor, her heels clicking sharply against the polished stone steps. The early sunlight cut across the estate’s sculpted hedges and stately marble columns, but Serena’s mind was already miles ahead—on contracts, leverage, and the chessboard that was the entertainment world.She had already contacted her lawyer, instructing them to make Ruiz Star Entertainment cover Whitney’s contract termination f*e. Simon had handled Whitney’s contract meticulously; her lawyer barely had to lift a finger to make the case airtight.But back at Ruiz Star, Anita Ruiz was seething.Losing yet another rising star to Serena was an insult she could no longer stomach. First Serena had stolen a prized script, then Simon himself, and now Whitney—their brightest new talent.Later that afternoon, Anita found herself at a high-end restaurant downtown, clinking her wine glass absently as she tried to ignore the weight of failure pressing on her chest. That’s wh

    To Whitney, Simon felt like a closed book—guarded, emotionally distant, all business and no spark. His life moved with the predictability of a metronome, rigid and scheduled, like he had no personal cravings or desires.And it drove her insane.She couldn’t help but drift back to junior year of high school—the day she’d accidentally walked in on him showering at his place. Her eyes had widened, her brain practically short-circuiting. The memory of it haunted her sometimes. How does a guy like that... never get off? she thought, cheeks warming.Has he seriously been celibate all this time? Does he not have any woman in his life?The more she thought about it, the more her head ached. Frustrated and restless, Whitney grabbed her purse and bolted out the door. She needed to get to E.A. Corporation—if nothing else, just to keep an eye on Simon.She sent Serena a quick message, trying to keep her cool.Whitney: [Serena, if you don’t get here fast, Ruiz Star Entertainment’s gonna lock me in

    Lucca Reinaldi had been making waves in New York City lately, and anyone with a shred of influence knew exactly who he was. His name carried weight, his reputation sharper than a blade. So when he appeared in the doorway of that seedy private room, the tension inside snapped like a pulled thread.The men inside froze, instinctively zipping up and stumbling back like guilty schoolboys. Whitney, disheveled and tear-streaked, began to sob as the weight of what could’ve happened crashed down on her.Lucca turned toward Serena, his voice low but firm. “Is this the girl you’re looking for?”Serena gave a silent nod. One look at the trembling figure in the corner had been enough—Whitney was in deep, and luck had only barely swung her way.“You take her,” Lucca said, his tone brooking no argument. “I’ll deal with them.”“Thank you.” Serena didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward and reached for Whitney’s arm.Whitney blinked through her tears, trying to focus. “Who... who are you?”“I’m Serena,”
