"Cassie..." Julian drew closer, calling out another woman's name again.

"I am Cassandra, not Cassie. Stay away, Sir! Please, not like this! I need to get onto the set immediately." Jennifer swiftly slapped Julian.

Julian was on the verge of kissing Jennifer but was instantly shocked as the slap landed on his handsome face.

"It can't be you, Cassie... but your eyes... your voice... they are so much like Cassie's. How is that possible? Jennifer, who exactly are you? Why do you remind me of the woman I abandoned?"

"You are insolent! How dare you bully a new artist like me? I tell you again, I am not Cassie!"

Only the woman's face and hair were different, but her voice, her mannerisms, even her smile and the way she slapped him when angry were so similar to Cassie's, leaving Julian increasingly unsettled. He was uneasy not out of love—but because of a never-ending guilt that made the name persist in his memory.

Julian remained silent, and Jennifer

    Elena Returns "I hope you survive, Julian. I will forgive you if you wake up. At the very least, you must wake up for our daughter's sake, so she has her biological father." Jennifer was consumed by grief; she hoped the man who had once caused her so much pain would soon rouse from his deep, injury-induced slumber. A few moments later, amidst the tension of the ongoing surgery, Jennifer felt as though time had come to a standstill. She cared nothing for the bruises on her cheeks from Ricard’s slap, or the stinging pain on her wrists where the iron chains had chafed. Her mind was fixed solely on the man inside—the man she had cursed for the last seven years, yet who had turned out to be the only protector willing to die for her. However, behind a massive pillar just ten metres from where Jennifer sat, a pair of sharp eyes watched her intently. A woman stood there, concealed within the shadows of the dimly lit corridor. She appeared to be around Julian’s age, dressed in an elegant y

    Julian Save MeRicard pulled the woman’s body to stand before him as a human shield. He forcibly wrenched the black dagger from the back of his own hand—a gruesome, masochistic act—and pressed the blood-stained blade against Jennifer’s carotid artery."Back off, Julian! One more step and I’ll slit her throat before your very eyes!" Ricard shouted, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Cold sweat mingled with blood dripped from his forehead."Julian... help me! I never thought you’d be brave enough to come and save me.""I will save you. Just stay calm! I won't let that bastard hurt you.""Hey... enough with the romance. If this blade pierces her neck, I’ll make sure she dies too," Ricard threatened.Julian stood tall, his breathing steady but his gaze lethal. The moonlight illuminated his hardened face, revealing the burn scars on his hand, which was now clenched into a tight fist."You’ve already lost, Ricard. This villa is surrounded. Marcus and my team have wiped out your mercenaries

    Release Me! Why Have You Kidnapped Me?"It’s impossible! Ricard is still on the run, how could it be him?" Julian replied."Who would infiltrate in the middle of the night? Quick, wake all your men," Jennifer said.Jennifer had a terrible foreboding. But at that moment, the lights suddenly went out. Then, it felt as though both Julian and Jennifer were struck from behind. They collapsed into unconsciousness."Hahaha... even if you have a thousand guards, I know the security system of this house," the man sneered, immediately ordering his men to take Jennifer away.Several hours later... Jennifer opened her eyes. The first thing she felt was the coldness of the marble floor against her cheek. Her head throbbed from the blow with the heavy object. She tried to move her hands, but the iron chains shackling her wrists to the foot of a large Victorian-style bed let out a sharp metallic clink.She was in a luxurious bedroom she recognised all too well: the master suite in Ricard’s private v

    Past Facts and He Ran Away "What actually happened to my mother? Why couldn't you speak clearly? Is it true that you were the one who killed her?" Jennifer asked again. Julian looked deep into Jennifer's eyes. There was a suffocating silence between them, broken only by the sound of crickets and the distant, fading wail of police sirens. Julian exhaled, his fingers—still rough from burn scars—gripping Jennifer’s hand with immense care, as if she were a piece of cracked porcelain that could shatter at any moment. "Jen, I never touched your mother," Julian said in a low but incredibly firm voice. "That night, your mother rang me. She was terrified. She had discovered someone was going to strangle her; she was hiding somewhere and I went looking for her. I reached the hospital, but your mother... she..." Jennifer held her breath. "What happened? What happened to my mother?" "I was five minutes too late," Julian continued, his jaw tightening. "By the time I arrived, your mother had

    A Shot for Ricard "What should I do? You must die, Julian! If I am caught, then you must go to hell with me!" he screamed hysterically. He pointed the muzzle of the silver pistol directly at the security camera in the corner of the ceiling, as if by destroying that lens, he could kill the ghost currently judging him. Bang! The sound of the gunshot was deafening in that soundproof basement. The camera's protective glass shattered. Jennifer screamed and slumped to the floor, covering her ears. She gasped for air. The oxygen in the room seemed to thin as Ricard's madness grew increasingly intense. "Come out, Julian! Come out!" Ricard roared. He now turned to look at Jennifer, who was trembling on the floor. A terrifying, crooked smirk curled on his lips. "If I cannot lure him out with sound, I will lure him out with your blood, darling." Ricard stepped closer; the muzzle of the pistol now pointed directly at Jennifer’s forehead. Jennifer could smell the strong scent of gunpowder and

    Is That You, Julian? Are You Still Alive?'Impossible! Is it true that Julian is still alive? Is that urn really empty? Why on earth did Ricard do all of this?'Jennifer’s heart felt as if it had stopped. The urn was empty? So the ashes scattered this morning were nothing but ordinary dust? If that were true, where was the real Julian?Jennifer could no longer wait. She had to act. That morning shifted abruptly into a dark night. While Ricard was out for an emergency meeting with the board of directors of Cross Media—a newly established entertainment company—Jennifer slipped away to the address listed on Marcus’s business card. The address led her to an old Victorian-style house in the Hollywood Hills, far from the glamour of Bel Air.Upon arrival, she stood before the house. Jennifer knocked on the door, and when it opened, Marcus greeted her. "I knew you would come, Madam.""Where is Julian?" Jennifer demanded without preamble. "And what is Ricard’s connection to Cross Media?"Marcu
