RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 8 : The Truth Someone Tried to Hide
The laptop screen glowed in the darkness.Zayden Vale didn’t blink.He watched the corrupted footage again and again, replaying the same broken sequence like repetition could somehow restore what was missing.Room 1408.Lena entering.Him inside.ThenGlitch.Skip.Distortion.Empty space where memory should have been.Zayden leaned back slowly, jaw tightening.This wasn’t a mistake.This was deliberate.And Zayden Vale hated two things in life:Being lied to…And not knowing who was lying.He shut the laptop abruptly.The sound echoed in the silent penthouse.Morning came without calmness Lena stood by the window of the guest room, staring at the city below.She hadn’t slept.Not properly.Her thoughts refused to settle.The DNA test.Zayden’s silence.His mother’s eyes.The word mistake still echoed in her head like a wound that refused to close.Her hand slowly moved to her stomach again.Still there.Still real.Still changing everything.“I don’t even know what tomorrow looks li
RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 7: The Line Between Truth and Destruction
The DNA kit sat on the glass table like a threat.Not loud. Not moving. Not alive.But somehow… heavier than everything else in the room.Lena stood frozen near the couch, her hands clenched so tightly her nails pressed into her palms. Zayden stood a few steps away, his expression unreadable, but his jaw tight enough to show restraint.Mrs. Vale remained calm.Too calm.Like she had already decided the outcome.“This is simple,” she said evenly. “If there is nothing to hide, we confirm it and move on.”Lena shook her head immediately.“No.”The word came out sharper than she expected.Mrs. Vale turned slightly. “Excuse me?”“I am not doing this here,” Lena said, her voice trembling but firm.Zayden’s eyes flickered toward her.For a brief second… something shifted in his expression.Not surprise.Recognition.Like he understood her refusal more than he wanted to admit.Mrs. Vale sighed softly.“You are making this harder than it needs to be.”Lena let out a bitter laugh.“Harder?” she
RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 6 : When the World Starts to Watch
The building Zayden brought Lena to wasn’t a home.It was silence made of glass, steel, and wealth.A private penthouse suite overlooking the entire city — too clean, too large, too empty for something meant to be lived in.Lena stood near the entrance, hesitant.“This is where you live?” she asked quietly.Zayden loosened his jacket slightly.“Sometimes.”That answer alone told her everything.He didn’t belong anywhere.And yet he belonged everywhere.He walked ahead without waiting for her, leaving her to follow.Lena did.Because she didn’t know what else to do.The doors closed behind them with a soft mechanical sound.Lena stopped immediately.The space swallowed her.Expensive furniture. Cold lighting. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls showing the city like it was trapped behind a frame.It didn’t feel like a home.It felt like control.Zayden poured himself a glass of water, not looking at her.“You’re shaking,” he said suddenly.Lena frowned. “I’m not.”“You are.”A pause.Then she
RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 5 : The Moment Nothing Could Be Hidden
For a few seconds, neither of them moved.The street noise faded.Cars passed, people walked, life continued… but it all felt distant, like it belonged to another world.Lena stood frozen at the clinic entrance, her fingers tightening around the test results inside her bag.Zayden Vale stood a few steps away, one hand still on the car door he had just closed.And then his eyes dropped.To her face.To her pale expression.To the slight tremor in her hands.Something in his chest tightened.He didn’t understand why.But it did.“…Lena?” he said slowly.Hearing her name in his voice made her stomach drop.She should have run.She should have turned away immediately.But her feet didn’t move.Because fear does that sometimes , it roots you in place instead of saving you.Zayden took a step forward.Then another.His voice lowered slightly. “What are you doing here?”Lena swallowed hard.Her throat felt dry.“I could ask you the same thing,” she replied quietly.A pause.Zayden glanced at
RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 4 : The Truth She Couldn’t Escape
Lena told herself it was nothing.Just exhaustion.Just stress.Just hunger from skipping meals too often.That was all.It had to be.She sat on the edge of her bed that night, pressing a hand lightly against her stomach, trying to ignore the strange discomfort that had started becoming more frequent over the past days.Mia noticed immediately.“You’ve been like this for a while now,” Mia said gently. “Dizzy. Tired. You barely eat.”“I’m fine,” Lena replied quickly.But her voice didn’t sound convincing even to herself.Mia crossed her arms. “You’re not fine. And I’m not going to let you pretend you are.”Lena sighed.“I said I’m okay.”A pause.Then Mia softened her tone.“…Lena. When was your last period?”The question landed heavily.Lena froze.Her fingers stopped moving.Her mind went quiet for a second too long.Then she blinked.“I… I don’t remember.”That was the moment everything shifted.Not loudly.Not dramatically.But quietly.Like a door closing somewhere deep inside he
RECKLESS CELEBRITY Chapter 3 : When Everything Collapsed
Lena didn’t remember how she got home.One moment she was standing in the manager’s office, staring at a piece of paper that had just destroyed her life…And the next, she was sitting on the edge of her small bed, still wearing her uniform.Silent.Numb.Mia entered the room and froze the moment she saw her.“Lena?” she called softly. “What happened?”Lena didn’t answer.Her hands were still shaking.Her eyes were empty.Mia stepped closer quickly and crouched in front of her. “Talk to me. You’re scaring me.”A long pause.Then Lena finally spoke — barely above a whisper.“I lost my job.”Mia blinked. “What? Why?”Lena laughed once.But it wasn’t humor.It was disbelief breaking apart.“Because I accused someone rich of doing something wrong… and they believed him instead of me.”Mia’s expression hardened instantly. “Who?”Lena didn’t answer right away.Her throat tightened.Then she said it.“Zayden Vale.”The room went completely still.Even Mia knew that name.Everyone did.The rec
