LOGINGina’s POV“Of course, of course,” my uncle said with a light laugh. “I’m just asking if you two would support me if things get ugly.”“Of course,” the second man replied. “Why would we support some unknown person?”A strange feeling settled in my chest.Uneasy. Something was not right. Mum had just said I was joining the company’s board, so why was he already spreading the news and making it seem like I was coming in for a power struggle?At that moment, a waiter walked toward me.“Miss, are you lost?” he asked politely.My heart jumped.I forced a smile. “Yes, please… I’m looking for the private room reserved for Mr. Williams,” I said softly.He nodded and checked his tablet.I didn’t dare look toward my uncle again.If he turned and saw me…“After going upstairs, take the first left,” the waiter said.“Thank you,” I nodded, then quickly stepped away, keeping my head down.My steps were quiet, careful.I walked past the tables, trying not to draw attention. My heart was beating fast
Gina’s POVRoland held his menu for a while, but he didn’t open it. His eyes were fixed on me, making my heart beat faster.I quickly raised my menu and looked at it.Suddenly, this scene reminded me of the first time I took Roland out for a thank-you meal.“Mm…” I cleared my throat. His gaze was too intense.“I’m not sure what their specialty is. Would you recommend something for me?” I asked.Roland was good at picking the best dishes.Since I wasn’t sure, I asked him.“Alright,” Roland finally opened his menu and looked at it. Now that his gaze was off me, I could finally breathe.He ordered a few dishes. Just like during the business dinner, he paid attention to my preferences.“So,” Roland said after the waiter left, “now that things have developed to this point, do you want to take off your mask and be Gina Greenwood again?”Only then did I think about my music career. I had been so caught up in everything that I forgot something so important.I took out my phone and checked the
Roland’s POV When Gina canceled our date the previous day due to a family emergency, I was worried. I even thought of going over, as I suspected it might be related to Emily. But she sent another message telling me that Emily and Ethan were trying to find evidence that she was GG. I knew her identity could not be revealed before the video was confirmed to be original. So I first started a narrative online to clear her name and point suspicion toward Emily. Gina then called later to say they left without finding any evidence, so I relaxed. Our date was pushed to the next day. I was getting ready for the date when Betty sent me a message. “Brother, I want to treat you to dinner to celebrate my new car,” she wrote. A picture of her in the car was attached. “Not today. I’m going on a date,” I replied. “With Gina?” she responded immediately. “Yes.” “Now that things have come to this, when do you want her to reveal her identity as GG?” she asked. “Not sure yet. I’ll ask
Gina’s POV After the body scrub, a warm towel was gently placed over my face. The heat felt soft and comforting. They cleaned my face carefully, their movements slow and gentle. Then came the scrub. It felt soft against my skin, like tiny grains brushing away all the stress I didn’t even realize I was carrying. After that, they applied a cool mask. “Please relax,” one of them said softly. I closed my eyes. My mind slowly drifted into rest again. After some time, the mask was removed, and a light cream was massaged into my face. I felt… taken care of. When the facial was done, they helped me sit up. “Now, we’ll begin your makeup,” one of them said with a smile. I nodded. They adjusted the chair and turned me toward the mirror. For a moment, I looked at myself. My skin already looked better. I felt that even without makeup, I was ready for my date. “Please close your eyes,” she said. I did. I felt the gentle touch around my eyelids. Soft colors blend perfectly. Not to
Gina’s POV “Beauty Palace,” Mum answered. I looked at her. I knew she was good with makeup, but I was still surprised. I just realized that, at almost twenty-four, I didn’t really know my parents. “So… where is your Beauty Palace?” I asked. Mum smiled. “You moved your date with Roland to today, right? How about you visit and get your makeup done?” she asked. “Okay,” I agreed, my curiosity growing. Mum sent a message on her phone. I went into my room to store the documents and came back holding my bag. In less than five minutes, her phone beeped. Mum picked up her bag. “Let’s go.” I frowned but followed her. A car was already waiting outside. “Good morning, ma,” the driver said as he stepped out to open the door. It was an SUV. I looked at Mum as I got into the car. Before Dad’s death, we had three cars. They were not the most expensive, but they were not cheap either. Still, this SUV was a surprise. It was one of the newest models. It was no wonder she cou
Gina’s POVI was very quiet all the way back home. I kept wondering why I had to work part-time during my school years if I had so much money locked away in trust funds. The most annoying part was how worried I had been about getting just half a million for Mum’s surgery.I had even planned to use my signing bonus.Mum knew this money existed, and I had access to it for more than a year now. What was she thinking, keeping it away from me?“Why have you been so quiet?” Mum finally asked when we got into the apartment.“Why did I have to suffer so much if so much was available?” I asked. “If I had known this money existed, why would I have had to bow and confess to a crime I did not commit just to save you?”The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became with Mum. All those times she told me to bear with Emily… I never dared to tell her about the bullying at school. I was too scared to worry her. She always said the peace of the family was everything.Then suddenly, I realized I
Gina’s POVThe staff member turned and pointed behind us. The screen lit up.A soft gasp moved through the hall as everyone turned to watch. The voting poll replayed in fast motion, numbers rolling upward at a dizzying speed. Seconds felt like heartbeats.At first, Gold stayed ahead.Then, in the l
Gina’s POV Roland’s driver arrived just as the kiss deepened. The sound of footsteps and the soft click of a car door snapping shut broke the moment like a sharp knock on glass. “Sir,” the driver said politely, stopping a short distance away. Reality crashed down on me all at once. My eyes
Gina’s POV Roland drove me home in silence. The city lights passed by outside the window, but my mind was still on the stage, the screen, and that final number. Everything felt unreal, like I might wake up at any moment. When the car stopped in front of my apartment building, I finally took a dee

She was waiting for people to start cursing her out, but to her surprise, everyone was curious about her. “What nonsense. Who knows whose song she stole this time?” Betty frowned. Unlik
