Se connecterSelene’s POVI sat in Ronan’s studio, the glow of multiple monitors reflecting off my eyes. The gentle unveil had created more than just public discussion. The producers were using private messages on forums and closed groups to discuss Elysia Ray’s track without revealing their identities. Some people were guessing the singer's identity while others shared links about their music analysis.Ronan stood by the desk corner as he used his encrypted channels to check his messages. “Offers are coming in,” he said casually, but I saw the sharpness in his gaze. “A few indie labels want to reach out. Some producers want a private meeting.”I shook my head without looking at him. “Ignore them. I’m not stepping out. Not yet. Everything about me getting signed and building my career isn’t important now. The only thing that matters is to expose her. The rest of everything is a distraction from that goal.He smirked slightly, understanding the resolve in my tone. “Good. You’ve got the patience for
Selene’s POVI leaned over the laptop in Ronan’s studio, watching the upload bar crawl across the screen. I had made no announcement about anything at all. I made no announcements about anything. The track had been released quietly under the name Elysia Ray. I wanted it to speak for itself first to let people hear without any fanfare.Ronan stood behind me, arms crossed, observing the screen like a hawk. The first comment has not appeared yet according to his statement. I shook my head, tension coiling in my stomach. People require time to rest because the initial period needs to pass. People need to listen first before they will show their responses.I refreshed the page repeatedly, eyes scanning the numbers. The first few comments appeared on the screen after I had waited for some time. This sound has an authentic quality to it according to the listener. The listener found her voice to be real because she sounded like the original singer according to the statement. My lips forme
Selene’s POVI entered the studio for the first time after my absence and my hands began to tremble. The studio environment assaulted my senses with its combination of polished wood and cables and the weak remnants of old recordings. I had not been able to handle music for a long time since everything went wrong in my life. The moment Liora entered my life. The moment I went to jail. The moment everything became quiet.Ronan entered the space behind me while I needed time to see everything. He maintained his usual position against the wall with his arms crossed while observing the environment. I could see his three emotions of pride and wariness and caution because he was calculating his next movement. He displayed all three of those emotions which I recognized.I moved toward the soundboard and my fingers touched the sliders and knobs and keys. The entire setup appeared to me as a combination of known elements and unfamiliar elements. My previous voice came back to me, bringing its c
Selene’s POVThe morning light entered my room through the blinds as I woke up to hear my laptop making a quiet noise. My hands stayed above the keyboard because I felt nervous. I already knew which notifications awaited me because I didn't need to check them.The first thing I saw made my stomach twist: two more of Liora’s songs had been flagged for copyright review. I clicked through, my pulse quickened with every new tab I opened. The system confirmed what I already suspected: my demo recordings had triggered the notices. The investigation had expanded beyond the snippets because three songs were now being examined with full seriousness from the platform.Ronan stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. "They are proceeding quicker than I anticipated," he spoke with a calm tone although his eyes showed intensity.I stayed silent for a moment because I needed time to respond. My fingers began typing on the keyboard as I searched streaming platforms. Algorithms responded to copyrigh
Selene’s POVRonan and I entered the café which had dim lights and immediately began searching the space until I discovered the person I wanted to meet. I found Adrian.Adrian spoke to me using a low voice which sounded like a growl. “Selene I didn’t think you’d really come.”Ronan stepped back from us to create distance between them.The fake smile which I created through effort. “I always keep my appointments.” Forward he leaned his elbows resting on the table while steepling his fingers. “Let us start with the main point. You have managed to stay hidden until now. The number of leaks from your system has increased. The word about you named Selene has started to spread. You must make a choice between control now or total loss later on.”I presented my hands to the table while I tilted my body backward. “I said I’d wait. I’m not going public yet.”Adrian’s jaw tightened. “Not going public? You do realize that every hour you wait, someone else might expose it first? Someone already
Selene’s POV .The music forum I had monitored overnight outside my window showed activity with a thread that had gained massive popularity. I tapped it open.Someone had written:“The original artist might be Selene… but unfortunately, I heard selene was arrested years ago and is still in jail.”My stomach dropped. My name—almost exposed. I froze, staring at the screen. My hands tightened around the edge of the phone.Ronan, who sat at a distance from him, was drinking his coffee when he asked Ronan what was happening. “What is it?” he asked quietly.I swallowed, my voice tight. “Someone… someone might have guessed my identity. They wrote it—Selene…”His brow furrowed. “That’s bad,” he said calmly, though I could see the tension in his jaw. “The entire plan will collapse if people identify you as the source of this information.”I nodded, feeling panic clawing at my chest. I had worked so carefully, threading every move, masking my identity. A careless forum post was about to destro
