A few moments later.

Natasha stood in front of the full-length mirror, a knee-length dress in her hands. She had bought this dress for herself as a gift on her last birthday, but she hadn't gotten a chance to put it on. She had hoped that she would put it on if Kenny asked her out for dinner, but things had now ended between her and him and the dress couldn't be worn on such an occasion.

The fabric of the dress was a delicate shade of lavender, adorned with intricate lace detailing along the neckline and hem. As her body slipped into the dress, it hugged her curves perfectly, fitting perfectly on her slender figure. The color complemented her fair complexion, making her eyes sparkle with a hint of excitement.

She looked at herself, and she liked what she saw. This time round, she wanted to focus on herself, she wanted to lift her spirits up. She didn't want to think about anything that could make her sad. Natasha opened the top pocket of her bag and took out a makeup kit. She hadn't

    “Please stop!” she screamed again, pushing against his chest, trying to break free.Outside, Kenny heard her scream. He couldn't waste time searching for the key to that door because she was in danger. He stepped back, lifted his leg, and with one powerful kick, slammed his foot into the door. There was a loud cracking sound. He kicked again, this time harder, and the lock broke; the door flew open, crashing against the wall.He ran inside, and what he saw boiled his blood. A man was on top of Natasha, trying to pin her down. Without thinking, Kenny grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off the bed. The man hit the floor hard, groaning. Kenny didn’t stop there. He threw a punch straight into his face, then kicked him in the stomach again and again.“You sick coward! Touch her again and I will end you!” Kenny shouted, his voice deep and shaking with rage. Natasha was in shock. Her body trembled as she sat up on the bed, holding her chest, trying to catch her breath. Even though t

    After giving his speech, Kenny returned to his table, where some of the top business leaders and guests were still seated. He continued shaking hands with a few people, shared a few smiles, and engaged in small business conversations. All this time, his face looked calm, but his eyes kept scanning the room now and then, always landing on Natasha. He didn't want to admit how much he had missed her presence, and it felt so good seeing her around, even if she wasn't close to him.In the far corner of the room, Linda sat in a chair in a corner with a glass of wine in her hand. Her eyes burned with jealousy and anger every time she looked at Natasha. She cursed as she saw how everyone was laughing and talking around her. She called a waiter who was passing by and whispered something into his ear. The waiter nodded quickly after listening to her instructions. She then took something from her bag and squeezed it into the waiter's hand. Linda then leaned back in her seat with a smile, pre

    He paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the crowd and stopping briefly at Natasha, who quickly looked down.“I want to thank the directors for their creative vision, the writers for their beautiful words, and the actors for bringing the story to life,” he continued, his tone gentle but full of confidence.He looked around the room again.“To the entire team, production, camera crew, sound, costumes, and every single person who worked behind the scenes, you made this possible. This success belongs to all of you.”The audience clapped loudly again, touched by his words. Kenny smiled slightly and finished his speech. “I hope this movie reaches many hearts, and tonight, we celebrate not just a project, but teamwork, dedication, and dreams coming true. Thank you.”Loud claps echoed across the room, everyone impressed, then the lights dimmed again, and the MC moved back to the stage.“Now, it’s time to finally watch the official trailer!”Everyone turned to the big screen as the trailer

    Jasper was surprised. “Then why didn’t you say anything?” he asked.Natasha looked calm as she said, “It’s not worth it. I won’t lower myself to her level. I won’t do something stupid just to get back at her.”Jasper looked at her with admiration in his eyes. He smiled and said, “That’s why I admire you more. You are strong and mature. And you have situations in ways that no one could think.”Natasha smiled but didn’t say anything. Her heart was still full of thoughts about Kenny. She carefully threw a glance at where he was seated, thinking he was busy talking.Their eyes met, and for a moment, everything around Natasha stopped; she was frozen. It was like the whole place went silent, and it was just the two of them staring at each other. Her heart began to beat faster, even louder than the music in the background, and she could feel it.She quickly looked away, her face feeling hot as she cursed herself inside. "Why did I even look at him?" she thought nervously. "Now he might think

    It was Kenny, the man she hadn’t seen for over a year. The man who betrayed her and left her heartbroken.Kenny walked into the room slowly, his face calm and cold. He remained calm, but deep inside, his heart was beating fast the moment he laid eyes on her. He kept walking ahead until he stopped right in front of her. His eyes moved slowly, and he noticed the huge stain on her dress.Without saying a single word, Kenny took off his coat and gently draped it over her shoulders, covering her ruined dress, then, without another glance, he turned and walked away.Everyone in the room watched in shock, not understanding what had just happened. They whispered among themselves, trying to figure out who Kenny was and why he helped her out.Natasha stood there, completely frozen, she couldn’t believe what had just happened. She stared at Kenny’s back as he walked away, her mind full of questions.What was he doing there, and why did he do that?Linda was still standing there, pretending to a

    Natasha packed up her bags slowly as her head ran with thoughts. She never thought she would return to her home city that soon, but she had no choice. The team was going to shoot the second season of Falling for the Stranger, and everything had to be done back in the city.As she folded her clothes, her mind drifted back. That city was the place where she had faced her biggest pain. It was the place where she had been betrayed by the man she loved the most, making her feel humiliated, and now, she had to go back there.The only thing that gave her hope was that, this time round, he was not the same person. She was not the same naive Natasha who had been fooled before and used. She was now stronger, knew herself better, and had learned to protect her heart.But still, she could not stop herself from thinking.
