last update Last Updated: 2025-07-06 01:00:01

The moment it was confirmed that Allison Brooks had been cast as the lead in Cinderella’s Magical Love, Vivian Brooks’ face darkened with disbelief.

After the opening ceremony, the production team led everyone on a tour of the shooting locations. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, but the tension between the two sisters could have cut through the air like a knife.

Later, as Allie sat alone in the lounge, organizing her thoughts, Vivian stormed in, her expression livid.

"Allison Brooks, how did you manage this? Did you crawl into the director’s bed? Or maybe you seduced one of the investors? I knew you were desperate, but I didn’t think you’d stoop this low," Vivian sneered, her tone dripping with malice.

Allie met her sister’s glare calmly, though her voice carried an unmistakable edge. "Vivian, watch your mouth. You’re too young to be throwing around accusations like that."

Vivian’s laugh was bitter. "Don’t you dare act superior. Someone like you couldn’t possibly land this role

    Allie was up before the sun, brushing the sleep from her eyes as she got ready for set.By coincidence—or maybe fate—she ended up leaving with Liam.The morning air was fresh, tinged with dew and the faint scent of summer jasmine as they stepped outside. On the driveway, Adam was crouched beside his bicycle, brows furrowed in frustration as he examined a flat tire. A jagged nail stuck out from the rubber like a cruel joke.Even on summer break, Adam’s days were swallowed by the relentless demands of med school at A University. Research, experiments, clinical hours—breaks weren’t really breaks for students like him.Liam noticed him first and called out casually, “Adam, just ride with us. I’m dropping Allie off at A University anyway.”Adam hesitated for a fraction of a second. Then, realizing the tire was a lost cause, he exhaled sharply, slung his bag over his shoulder, and climbed into the backseat without a word.Allie took her place in the passenger seat, stealing subtle glances a

    Robert Hart leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood of his desk. His sharp eyes settled on the two sitting across from him. “I just spoke with David Brooks. Now that the marriage certificate has been signed, we should move forward with the wedding as soon as possible.”Liam Hart didn’t flinch. Not even a flicker of reaction. His voice remained calm, firm. “Allie and I have already discussed it. We’ll have the wedding after she graduates.”Allie, sitting beside him with her arms folded tightly across her chest, gave a nod of agreement. “I’ll be starting my senior year soon, and things are going to get hectic. I have my thesis, plus the film project. There’s just too much going on right now.”Robert studied them for a long moment, his expression unreadable. Then, slowly, he gave a curt nod. “If you’ve both thought this through, then there’s no rush.”David Brooks tossed in a few routine questions before excusing himself, leaving behind a quiet,

    Liam’s eyebrows twitched slightly.That was twice today.I had kissed him—completely unprovoked. And now, I couldn’t even look him in the eye.God, what was wrong with me?My cheeks were burning, the heat spreading down my neck like a wildfire. Had I been too forward? Was I misreading him entirely? Did Liam even like me being this… bold?I chanced a glance at him. His eyes—deep, dark, unreadable—gave me nothing. Not a flicker of emotion. And yet, that silence, that stillness, said everything.Panic twisted in my chest. I laughed nervously, the sound brittle and false, and started to lower myself from his arms, desperate to create space, to escape the tension humming between us like an electric wire.But I didn’t get far.In one breathless motion, Liam moved.His hands gripped my waist—firm, possessive—and then I was no longer standing. My back hit the bookshelf with a soft thud, the wood cool and jarring against my spine.I gasped, shocked.My body reacted before my mind could catch u
