Allie clung tightly to the camera strap around her neck, her heart racing as Liam’s stormy blue eyes bore into her. The luxury hotel’s balcony was hardly the place for confrontations, yet here they were, toe-to-toe, emotions crackling like a live wire between them.

“Allison Brooks,” Liam said, his voice low but laced with exasperation, “what were you thinking? Do you have a death wish?”

Allie’s cheeks burned, caught red-handed in her daring act. She straightened her shoulders, holding up the SLR camera like a shield. “I’m an intern at Cherry Scoop,” she said, her voice trembling slightly but firm. “My assignment is to capture Mia Stone’s itinerary and… her mysterious boyfriend.”

Liam’s jaw clenched, his features darkening. “Delete the photos.”

Allie blinked, momentarily taken aback by the icy authority in his tone. “No,” she said, clutching the camera closer.

“This is my job. I won’t delete them.”

Liam’s expression hardened, a storm brewing in his eyes. “Do you want to see your husba

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 80: The Allergy Incident

    “Allie, what’s going on with you?” Scarlett leaned in, gently patting Allie’s flushed face.Allie’s skin was burning, and Scarlett quickly realized something was seriously wrong.“Allie, you’ve got a fever—a bad one,” Scarlett murmured, her voice tinged with worry.Earlier that day, an offhand comment from Vivian had unsettled Scarlett. Acting on impulse, Scarlett had sprinkled just a small amount of peanut powder on Allie’s pillow. She thought it would cause mild discomfort, not the terrifying reaction she was now witnessing.Panicked, Scarlett called for help.The entire crew was roused, and Allie was rushed to the hospital in the dead of night.______________________________________________________________________________________________Allie felt as though she were adrift in a haze, her world spinning wildly out of control. A foggy weight pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.When her eyes fluttered open, she was surrounded by unfamiliar faces—doctors and nurses i

  • Secrets of a Hidden Marriage   Chapter 79: A Silent Betrayal

    Allie Brooks noticed that Scarlett Renwick’s attitude had shifted drastically over the past few days.Scarlett seemed to be avoiding her at all costs. At night, she’d quietly retreat to her side of the dorm, immersing herself in her script or pretending to sleep. The once-friendly banter between them had vanished.Several times, Allie tried to strike up a conversation, but Scarlett would brush her off with feeble excuses.It hurt.Scarlett wasn’t just distant—she was cold, indifferent. And for the life of her, Allie couldn’t figure out why. There hadn’t been an argument, no fallout.At lunch, determined to clear the air, Allie grabbed her lunch tray and sat beside Scarlett."Hey," she said softly, trying to keep her tone light.Without a word, Scarlett stood, picked up her tray, and moved to another table.The humiliation burned. Allie sat frozen for a moment, staring at the empty seat Scarlett had just vacated.A lump formed in her throat, but she forced herself to focus on her food.

    Vivian Brooks put her phone away, a sly smile lingering on her lips.Scarlett Renwick folded her arms, her tone cold. "You should delete that picture."Vivian raised an eyebrow. "Why? Don’t tell me you’re going to involve yourself in Allison’s life now."Scarlett's voice hardened. "I can’t ignore what I saw. Allie is my friend."Vivian let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "Friend? Oh, Scarlett, let’s not kid ourselves. It’s pretty obvious you’re into her. But let’s not forget—this is business. You signed on with this studio, didn’t you? You’ve always wanted to work with Cherry Scoop. Do you think getting closer to Allie will help you? She barely has a place in our family. Trust me, you're wasting your time."Scarlett clenched her jaw, her temper flaring. "You’re wrong. I don’t need to play games to get what I want. And maybe you should take a look at yourself, Vivian. If Allie is so insignificant, then why is she the lead in this project, while you’re just... the fourth girl?"Vivian’s fa

    Allie Brooks knew Julian Ford could eat anything, but she never imagined he’d crave street food from the snack stalls in town.Earlier that day, the entire film crew had shared simple boxed lunches, including the director. Yet, Julian Ford—being the pampered star he was—had his own gourmet meal delivered. No one dared call him out on it.Still, this request? Lamb skewers and hot-and-sour noodles? Allie narrowed her eyes. "Do you have any idea what’ll happen if you step out of this car? You’ll cause a stampede!"Julian, leaning casually against the headrest, smirked. "Isn’t that why you’re here? My very own food-fetching savior?"Allie rolled her eyes. "This place is a university town. Summer vacation or not, half the students stayed back when they heard you were shooting nearby. If they see you here…" She gestured dramatically. "You won’t make it out alive."Julian chuckled, clearly unfazed. "Relax. You’ll go. I’ll wait. I want lamb skewers and hot-and-sour noodles. Extra chili."Alli

    Julian Ford shut the car door with a casual grin. "What’s wrong with me this time, Allie?"Allison "Allie" Brooks folded her arms, trying to steady herself. She wanted to tell him to leave her alone once and for all, but she knew Julian well enough to know that wouldn’t work. He wasn’t the type to back off easily.Julian’s charm and playful arrogance didn’t just affect her—it probably worked on every girl he met. To him, she was probably just another distraction, a temporary source of amusement.But Allie was tired of being his game. She wanted to make it clear today.She inhaled sharply and said, “Julian, I need you to stop messing with me. I’m not your toy. There are plenty of people willing to entertain your whims, so why me?”Julian glanced over at her as he drove, his smirk still intact. “Messing with you? When did I ever mess with you?”“A year ago, you proposed to me out of nowhere,” Allie said, her voice rising. “Now you keep teasing me on set, stirring up misunderstandings. I

    Liam Hart had just left the room, his calm yet piercing presence lingering like an invisible storm.The moment the door closed behind him, Allie Brooks was swarmed by curious voices.“Allie, how do you know Liam Hart? He seemed so… gentle with you.”“The way he tied your shoelaces—oh my God—it was like something out of a movie! My heart couldn’t take it!”“Was Liam Hart following you just now? Is there something going on between you two?”“Be honest, Allie. Did you land this opportunity because of him? I mean, you did get the green light so quickly…”Allie’s mind raced, the words around her swirling into chaos. Liam had definitely done this on purpose. He wanted to make her the center of attention—target practice for all these probing questions.Well, two could play that game. If he was going to throw her under the bus, she wasn’t going down without a fight.Feigning a casual shrug, Allie raised her voice just enough for everyone to hear, “Oh, come on, you guys. Haven’t you ever heard
