Chapter 150 - The First Collapse

last update Última atualização: 2025-09-22 19:41:30

The morning air outside the recording studio was deceptively calm, the kind of pale sunlight that softened steel and glass, making even the city seem harmless. Luna pulled her hoodie up, tightened the strings, and told herself she could make it to the waiting car in under thirty seconds if she kept her head down.

She should’ve known better. The moment the studio doors opened, the world erupted.

“Luna! Luna, over here!”

“Did Adrian Cross leak your single to manipulate the narrative?”

“Were you really abused, or is this just another PR stunt?”

The shouts collided like crashing waves. Cameras flashed, microphones shoved forward like spears. Luna froze for half a heartbeat, long enough for the pack to close in.

Questions slashed at her from every direction.

“Is it true Daniel Vega paid for your early demos? Did you use him to get famous?”

“Fans are calling you a survivor, what exactly did you survive, Luna?”

Her chest constricted. The air grew thick, unbreathable. She pushed forward, but

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 194 - You Were Collateral

    The door had closed behind Sebastian, but Valerie didnt turnaround, she stayed where she was, because she knew it was Sebastian, her palms were braced against the glass, city lights sprawling beneath her like a living thing that refused to sleep. The footage was still open on her tablet.Paused. She didn’t need to watch it again.“I told you it wasn’t the full conversation,” Sebastian said from behind her.She didn’t give him an answer.“You know how Eclipse edits,” he continued, quieter now. “You know how they...”“I know how you choose your words,” Valerie cut in. Her voice was steady, which surprised even her. “And I know how clearly that one landed.” Sheturned towards him, slow and deliberate. Sebastian stood a few feet inside the apartment, jacket still on, shoulders tight, hands loose at his sides like he didn’t trust them not to reach for something they shouldn’t. “Valerie,” he said, and this time her name wasn’t strategy. It wasn’t measured. It was bare.“Don’t,” she said.

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 193 - Mandatory Appearance

    Valerie knew better than to trust invitations framed as courtesies.The Eclipse boardroom wasn’t ostentatious. That was its danger. Frosted glass, muted steel, pale wood polished so throughly you could see your face shine, it was the kind of room where decisions were made quietly and consequences echoed loudly elsewhere. No windows. No clocks. Eclipse preferred time to feel irrelevant when power was in play.She entered without hesitation, posture was without fault, and her expression neutral. Authority sat on her shoulders like a tailored coat she’d learned never to shrug off.Sebastian was already there, standing near the far wall, hands loosely clasped behind his back, attention directed toward the projection screen that hadn’t yet been activated. He wore black today, not his usual corporate charcoal, or his disarming grey, no, he wore black with intent.He turned in her direction, the minute he sensed her presence. Their eyes met, and something unspoken passed between them, not h

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 192 - Unanimous Consent

    Valerie Sinclair had never believed in ambushes that came with linen napkins and crystal stemware, yet here she was.The private dining room at Hôtel de Crillon glowed with candlelight and quiet menace, gold accents catching the flame like secrets that didn’t want to stay buried. The Eclipse board had chosen this place deliberately, because of its historical background and exclusivity. Valerie entered last, as always, with a forced smiled.Conversation faltered, not stopped, just paused, the moment she stepped inside. She had that commanding effect as she walked into a room. Her silk dress was the colour of midnight, not seductive, not alluring, professional and commanding, just like her aura. Her hair was pulled back enhancing her bare neck.Sebastian stood near the far end of the table in his perfectly tailored, charcoal suit, his posture suggestive of how he owned every space he occupied. He was in the middle of a conversation with two board members, glass in hand, smiling just e

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 191 - Proximity Has Consequences

    Paris woke up to blood in the water. The headline dropped at exactly 06:12 a.m., timed for maximum damage.FASHION MOGUL VALERIE SINCLAIR REUNITES WITH EX?INSIDE THE DANGEROUS HISTORY BEHIND ECLIPSE’S POWER CO-LEADSBy the time Valerie’s phone started vibrating nonstop, the article had already been mirrored, dissected, and monetized across every fashion blog, gossip column, and finance platform that mattered.She read it once. Then again. By the third time, her grip on the phone was white-knuckled.It wasn’t explicit. That was the genius of it. No confirmations. No denials. Just suggestion. Carefully curated photos from seven years ago. Cropped images of proximity. A timeline reconstructed with surgical malice. Enough truth to feel real. Enough omission to let the world fill in the gaps.She exhaled slowly through her nose, the way she did before killing a deal. “This wasn’t a leak,” she said aloud to the empty penthouse. “This was a strike.”Her assistant Mia was already calling. V

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 190 - Side By Side

    The Eclipse Project Council chamber was designed to intimidate.Glass walls curved like a crown around the top floor of the Parisian tower, framing the city as if it existed solely to bear witness to the decisions made inside. The table was obsidian-black, polished to a mirror finish, long enough to seat kings, queens, and the people who controlled them. Power lived here. Deals that reshaped industries were born and buried in this room.Valerie Sinclair entered without pause.The doors hadn’t even finished closing behind her before the room subtly shifted, heads turning, breaths catching, attention recalibrating. She wore ivory silk and quiet menace, hair pulled back with surgical precision, heels striking marble with confidence sharpened by years of conquest. This wasn’t her first council, but it was her first Eclipse council, and everyone knew it.She didn’t acknowledge the stares. She never did. Valerie Sinclair didn’t arrive to be admired, she arrived to dominate.Sebastian was al

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 189 - Behind Schedule

    Sebastian Hart moved through the vaulted glass lobby of Hartstone Agency like a predator on a mission. The polished floors reflected his sharp Oxfords, the angular cut of his suit, the meticulous control he exuded. Cameras tracking arrivals, assistants hovering, phones buzzing, butcnone of it distracted him. He had always been the storm behind the glass. Unseen, unshakable, untouchable.His office awaited, perched on the forty-second floor, panoramic view of L A stretching into a gold-tinged horizon, but the city below, glittering, chaotic, hungry, was nothing compared to the storm that brewed behind his eyes. He had returned from a business trip hours ago, and the echoes of Eclipse, of Valerie, of the conversation that had left both of them unshaken yet electrified, still hovered in the air around him.He let the elevator doors close with a soft chime and exhaled, a controlled release that betrayed nothing. Everything in his world had a place, a purpose, a schedule. Everything except
