"You were the one who walked out during filming, you were the one who quit the series, and you were the one who wanted to show off like some big shot. How is that my fault? Now, let go of me! Let me go, or I'm calling the cops!"Nikita's eyes reddened. "Call the cops? So that they can have me arrested?"Dwayne gritted his teeth. "Yes!"Nikita smiled. It was a twisted, terrifying smile. "Fine, if you're so hell-bent on bringing me down—"She reached out and felt around her before settling on a rock. "Then you're coming down with me!"The rock came down with a loud thud. The first blow cut Dwayne's scream off cold. The second one sent blood splattering across Nikita's face. Then the third, and the fourth…Nikita didn't even know how many times she'd struck him before she finally stopped.Dwayne lay on th
"Jeremiah Prichard!"Startled, I took a step back. After I took a moment to see who it was, I raised an eyebrow.The Nikita standing before me was a shadow of the person she'd been just two weeks ago. Her hair was a mess, her eyes sunken, her clothes wrinkled, and a foul stench clung to her.She stood in front of me, her hands fumbling nervously. Her voice was hoarse and laced with unmistakable humility. "Jeremiah, please… I'm begging you, please help me out… I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have said you were ugly, and I shouldn't have badmouthed you in front of Mr. Casson… I was wrong. I really know my mistakes now..."She took a step forward, her knees buckling as if she was actually about to fall to her knees.I shifted to the side. "Stop."I looked at her and said flatly, "You were the one who walked off the set, you were the one who racked up the debt, and your boyfriend was your own choice."I paused, then added, "You brought everything that's happened to you on y
On her phone screen, Nikita saw dozens of missed calls and unread messages. She opened them one by one. Some of them were from her agency, some from her agent, and some from legal. The last one was an official email from her agency. "Due to your prolonged absence and serious breach of the contract, the company has decided to terminate our partnership with you. For any matters regarding compensation or damages, please contact the legal department."Nikita's hand fell limply to her side, the phone nearly slipping from her grasp.I stood to the side, watching the scene unfold, and smiled. "Well done, princess."I took a couple of steps forward, and as I passed by her, I turned my head slightly toward her. "Pretty bold when you walked off to placate your man, weren't you? Have you not got the same nerve to face the consequences?"Nikita jerked her head up, wanting to say something, but Walter had already waved his hand. Two security guards stepped forward, seized her arms on eith
Nikita froze in place, the smile on her face stiffening. Her voice shot up an octave, drawing even more attention from the media. "What? Blacklisted? That's impossible!"I smiled and said calmly, "The fact that you abandoned a 500-person crew overnight just to placate your boyfriend has already spread throughout the industry."I paused, watching her face gradually drain of color. "An artist who's only been in the business for three months, hasn't even established herself yet, and is already throwing her weight around like that—who would ever dare cast you after this?"Nikita's expression went completely ashen. "Shut up!"She stepped forward, but Dwayne held her back.The surrounding media caught the scent of drama and surged in at once."What? She walked off the set? Nikita, can you explain?""Is what Jeremiah said true?""Nikita, did you really abandon the production?"Cameras and microphones all zeroed in on Nikita. She instinctively stepped back half a pace, swallowing dryl
By the time I arrived, the entrance was already teeming with media and fans.I had just stepped out of the car when reporters surged forward."Jeremiah! 'The Captain's First Love' hit over a hundred million views on its first day of release! What do you have to say about that?""Jeremiah! How does it feel to blow up like this?""Jeremiah! Any insights from the filming process this time?"Before I even had a chance to answer, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind me. "We're the leads here. Are you guys interviewing the wrong person?"I turned around and saw Nikita and Dwayne getting out of their car and walking over. Nikita was wearing a custom deep-blue evening gown and four-inch stilettos. Dwayne had his arm looped around her waist, a victorious smile plastered across his face.Nikita faced the cameras, beaming with composure. "Hello, everyone. I'm Nikita Ragland, the female lead of this series."She paused, then pulled Dwayne closer. "And this is my boyfriend, Dway
Over the next month, the entire production team operated almost like a closed set. Everyone threw themselves into it, filming from morning until late into the night every day, as if trying to stretch every minute into two.Not a single piece of news leaked out. There were no behind-the-scenes footage, no set photos, and no updates of any kind. To the outside world, it looked as if the series had already halted production.Nikita apparently thought so too, so she and Dwayne went all out. In their social media posts, it would show they were in Marivelle one day, Evermont the next, and Ravensleigh the day after. There were check-ins, couple photos, and captions dripping with all sorts of flirtatious undertones.I grew sick of seeing those updates every day and ended up blocking both of them.…A month later, filming wrapped.After the final scene was done, Walter stood behind the monitor, his eyes red-rimmed. His voice cracked slightly as he said, "Thank you, everyone. Thank you f
