Selena stared at the photograph.

Then looked at Cassian.

Then looked back at the photograph.

Neither reaction improved the situation.

The image clearly showed both sets of parents smiling during a video call.

Not awkward smiles.

Not polite smiles.

Comfortable smiles.

The kind people shared when a conversation had already lasted much longer than expected.

Which raised several questions.

Many questions.

Most of them concerning.

Cassian rubbed his forehead.

"How?"

Selena immediately nodded.

"Exact

    The next words shocked Cassian."They also suggest limiting public appearances with Selena for a while."Cassian closed his eyes."No.""It's only a recommendation.""I don't like it.""I know."His voice hardened slightly."I'm not hiding her.""Nobody's asking you to.""That's exactly what it sounds like."Olivia remained patient. "They're trying to protect both of you." The frustration slowly drained from him.Because deep down...He knew she was right.If photographers had found them after one dinner, things could become far worse later.Finally, he sighed."We'll be careful.""That's all we're asking."Before ending the call, Olivia's tone softened."Cassian?""Yeah?""Protecting Selena now is just as important as protecting your career." The words lingered after the call ended.Because they echoed exactly what the producer had said yesterday. Protect what matters.Cassian looked across the room.Selena was watching him. Waiting. Trusting him.And in that moment, he knew one thin

    Across the city, Cassian’s day looked nothing like Selena’s.The rehearsal studio occupied the entire top floor of a modern production building, with walls of glass overlooking the skyline. Inside, dozens of people moved with practiced efficiency.Musicians tuned instruments.Sound engineers adjusted equipment.Lighting designers tested stage effects on scaled models. Large screens displayed the tour schedule, each city highlighted in bold letters.Cassian stood quietly for a moment, taking it all in. He had performed before thousands. He had won awards. He had become one of the fastest-rising artists in the country.Yet this…This was on an entirely different level.“Morning, Cassian!”One of the coordinators waved him over.“They’re waiting.”He joined the musicians already gathered onstage.Some had flown in from London.Others from Seoul.A guitarist from Brazil greeted him warmly while introducing himself.Within minutes they were rehearsing.The arrangements sounded richer than

    The apartment felt strangely quiet the next morning.Not because there was silence.But because neither of them knew what to say anymore.The revelation from the previous night lingered between them like an invisible wall. Six more weeks. What had once been a three-month tour had now stretched into four and a half months, and somehow, the number felt much heavier after hearing it aloud.Selena had barely slept.Every time she drifted off, she woke again to find Cassian still awake beside her, staring at the ceiling with his arms folded beneath his head. She never asked what he was thinking because she already knew.He was counting. Counting rehearsals. Counting flights. Counting cities. Counting the days until he would leave.And she had been doing exactly the same thing.The alarm rang at six-thirty.Neither complained.They simply got out of bed together and moved through their usual morning routine with practiced familiarity.Cassian brewed coffee while Selena prepared breakfast. S

  • Heartlock “Millions are watching…but only one heart is real.   Until We Meet Again

    Cassian read the email three more times after they left the neighborhood.Nothing changed.The departure date remained exactly where it had been.Three weeks.Not three months.Not even six weeks.Three weeks.He rested his head against the driver's seat for a brief moment after parking outside Selena's apartment.Neither of them spoke immediately.Some news needed silence before conversation.Finally, Selena reached across the center console and intertwined her fingers with his."We'll make it work."Cassian looked at her."You say that like it's easy." "I didn't say it would be easy." She smiled gently. "I said we'd make it work."The certainty in her voice settled something inside him.It didn't erase the disappointment.It didn't magically create more time.But it reminded him of something important. Every difficult season they'd faced had been temporary.This one would be too.He leaned over and kissed her forehead."I love you.""I know."She grinned."And I love you."The follo

    Selena stared at the documents.Then at Cassian.Then back at the documents.The signature at the bottom belonged to one of the largest entertainment companies in the country.For several moments she simply sat there.Reading.Processing.Trying to understand what she was looking at.Finally she looked up."Cassian."His expression immediately became cautious."What?""This is international."He nodded.Slowly.The word settled between them.International.Not national.Not regional.International.The contract offered something much larger than another tour.Much larger than another album.If accepted, Cassian would spend nearly a year working across multiple countries.Major performances.Collaborations.Television appearances.Recording opportunities.Everything artists dreamed about.Everything he'd worked toward.Selena looked back down.The numbers alone were enough to make her blink twice."This is huge.""Yeah."His answer came quietly.Almost too quietly.Because despite how

    Selena stared at the paper.Then at Cassian.Then back at the paper again.For several seconds she wasn't entirely sure what she was reading.The title remained exactly the same.Unchanged.Impossible.And yet somehow very real.The document was a property listing.Not just any property.A house. A beautiful house. Located on the edge of the city. Far enough away from the noise. Close enough to their work.The kind of place designed for building a life.The kind of place people imagined when they talked about the future.Selena slowly looked up."Cassian."His expression immediately became defensive.A dangerous sign. "I can explain." "You were looking at houses?""I was researching."The answer earned an immediate laugh.Because she recognized that tone.The same tone he'd used when secretly researching horse riding months ago.The same tone that usually meant he was absolutely guilty.Selena shook her head."You are impossible.""I've heard that before.""Several times.""Many times

    Selena stared at the email for a long time.The revised proposal remained open on her laptop screen.A third option.After weeks of believing she had only two choices, suddenly there was another path.The next morning, she arrived at the organization's headquarters earlier than usual.The city was

    Selena spent the entire night awake.The permanent position sat heavily in her mind.Every time she convinced herself she knew the answer, doubt appeared.Every time she leaned toward one choice, she immediately saw the benefits of the other.The opportunity was everything she had worked for.Years

    Selena stared at the small box in Cassian’s hand.For a moment, the entire world seemed to stop.The packed luggage.The apartment.The city beyond the windows.Everything disappeared.Only the box remained.And the terrifying number of possibilities inside it.Her heart hammered so loudly she was

    Selena barely slept that night.Not because she was worried.Because her mind refused to slow down.The conversation with the senior partners replayed again and again.The opportunity wasn’t just another promotion.It was a position within a national legal initiative that would allow her to help sh
