*Nina*

Time freezes, suspended in a moment of sheer horror. The gunshot rings out, echoing through the air like a death knell. My heart drops as I see Elijah's body jerk in response, and I can't comprehend what just happened.

“Elijah!” I scream, but the sound is swallowed by the lump in my throat. My legs feel like lead, but I force them to move, sprinting toward the open door, desperate to reach him. Panic grips me, twisting my insides. What if she shot him?

But as I get closer, I see her… Gaffe.. crumpling to the floor, the gun slipping from her fingers. My breath catches in my throat as realization dawns. It wasn't Elijah who was shot. It was Gaffey. Gaffey, who had wanted to take everything from us, had turned the gun on herself.

“Elijah!” I shout again, and this time, my voice cuts through the fog of fear. I rush over to him and wrap my arms around him. He is blinking, like he is trying to understand that he was not the one who got shot..

“Are you okay?” I ask, breathless, my han

  • My contract marriage to the moviestar billionaire   Epilogue

    6 years later*Nina*As I step into our home, the familiar scent of home-cooked dinner embraces me like a warm hug. The sound of laughter drifts from the living room, a sweet symphony of joy that brings a smile to my face. I kick off my shoes and close the door behind me, feeling the weight of the day slip away as I navigate the cozy space we’ve built together.“Mommy!” The excited squeals of my children fill the air as they come rushing toward me. Aiden, our five-year-old, launches himself into my arms, while little Mia, who’s just three, clings to my leg. I laugh, lifting Aiden high above my head, his giggles ringing like music in my ears.“Whoa there, superhero!” I say, pretending to struggle as I twirl him around. “What adventures have you been up to today?”“We built a fort!” he shouts, eyes sparkling with pride. “And we fought off the dragons.”Mia nods vigorously, her curly hair bouncing with each enthusiastic movement. “And we saved the princess,” she adds, her tiny hands maki

  • My contract marriage to the moviestar billionaire   What she needs

    *Nina*The world around me blurs into a chaotic whirlwind of screams and shouts, but all I can focus on is the sight of Cassandra crumpled to the ground, her body still and lifeless. The gunshot echoes in my ears, a haunting reminder of the horror that has unfolded before our eyes. I can’t breathe. I can’t think. All I feel is a suffocating wave of despair crashing over me.Suddenly, amidst the chaos, a figure bursts into the studio… a police officer, his uniform stark against the backdrop of madness. “Drop the weapon!” he shouts, his voice cutting through the cacophony like a knife. Silas, still consumed by his madness, turns to face the officer, his expression twisted with rage and disbelief.“Get away from me!” Silas screams, but before he can raise the gun, there’s a flash of movement, and I see the officer draw his weapon, the crack of another shot ringing out. I hold my breath, my heart racing as Silas’s body jerks, the gun falling from his hands, clattering to the floor. He stu

  • My contract marriage to the moviestar billionaire   Between villains and heroes

    *Elijah*Panic seeps into my veins, coursing through me like ice water. I pull Nina down beside me, the weight of her body pressing against my side grounding me amidst the chaos erupting around us. The sound of frantic whispers and footsteps scrambling for safety fills the air, but all I can focus on is Silas… his menacing figure cutting through the crowd like a dark shadow.“Silas! Stop!” I shout, my voice breaking through the pandemonium. “You don’t have to do this!”He turns toward me, eyes blazing with a manic intensity that sends a shiver down my spine. “Shut up, Elijah!” he roars, each word dripping with contempt. “You’re just a good-for-nothing whore, hiding behind your pretty little girlfriend! They need to hear my side of the story!”I feel Nina's grip tighten on my arm, a mixture of fear and determination etched across her face. “Elijah, please… we need to get out of here,” she urges, but I can’t move. I have to confront him. I have to protect her.“Silas, listen to me!” I p

  • My contract marriage to the moviestar billionaire   He just wants to talk

    *Nina*The fluorescent lights of the TV studio buzz above us, casting a cold glow on everything in sight. My heart races as I stand beside Elijah, watching the crew hustle around, preparing for what feels like another turning point in our lives. The studio audience is filling in, their murmurs mixing with the sound of cameras rolling and producers barking orders. Today, Elijah is going to speak out about everything that happened with Gaffey and Silas, and I can’t shake the anxiety gripping my chest.To be honest I am tired of this, the attention, the tv appearances, but Leslie keeps telling me this is good, that people are backing Elijah more and more, that most have forgotten about his mistakes and see himself as a victim and a hero, so I hold out.I glance over at Elijah. He’s adjusting his tie, the deep navy fabric contrasting sharply against his white shirt. He looks composed, but I can see the tension in his jaw, the slight tremble of his fingers as he straightens his collar. “Yo

    *Nina*The world around me blurs into a kaleidoscope of fear and desperation as Gaffey pulls me toward the door. Her grip is unyielding, the gun pressing harder against my temple, each step echoing like a countdown in my mind. I can barely breathe, my mind racing with memories of Elijah… the warmth of his smile, the sound of his laughter, the way he makes me feel safe. I cling to those thoughts, hoping they can somehow shield me.Gaffey's voice is a twisted sneer, laced with madness. "You don’t understand, Nina. He was meant for me. That night, we shared something real. You were just… a distraction, a showmance." Her laugh is sharp and jagged, cutting through the air between us. "I can give him what you can’t. I can be the one he needs."I can feel the heat rising in my chest, anger battling against my fear. "Elijah doesn’t want you," I spit back, finding a flicker of strength in my voice, though it trembles. “He loves me.”Gaffey’s expression twists into a snarl, and she shoves me fo
