Lyra’s POV

“What is it again?” I questioned as I entered the empty dressing room. “You have just five minutes”. I added assertively and detached, setting down my mask.

Dorian had sent a text, asking that we meet at the dressing room, that he had an important conversation to talk about.

His voice came rough but low. “What exactly do you want from us, let's discuss it and stop going through corners”

I looked up at him, meeting his eyes through the mirror.

“I don't know what you're talking about”

He turned towards me this time, his gaze intense. “You can stop the facade Lyra. I know you've been the mastermind behind all this chaos here and there.”

“I have no idea why you are laying accusations on me”. I replied instantly,locking a stern gaze with him.

“Lyra I'm sorry…. I never stopped thinking about that night… about you” His voice cracked with his eyes pleading. “The memory has always haunted me right from that time”.

I looked at him, and for a moment my heart ached. That same ache I t

  • The Singing Phoenix's Revenge    Chapter 13 

    Lyra’s POVThe knock came again, softer this time. “Lyra?”“Lyra, please,” he said again. “Just a minute.”I almost laughed. Just a minute. As though minutes hadn’t already taken years from me.“Come in,” I said finally, my voice calm but detached.The door creaked open.Dorian stepped in, looking very pale under the dim lights, his shirt was still half-open from where the medics had worked on him. He looked tired… no, weak and like a man who could just fall anytime soon.He stopped when our eyes met. For a moment, I could see the disbelief on his face.“You really did sing,” he said quietly, stepping back to lean on the wall.“I did.”“You didn’t have to,” he continued, almost whispering. “They could’ve cancelled.”“I know.”He frowned. “Then why?”I turned back to the mirror. “Because I don’t let anyone decide when my music plays or doesn’t. Not anymore.”He gave a weak laugh. “Still the same fire.”“No,” I corrected softly. “You burned that one out years ago. This is something else

  • The Singing Phoenix's Revenge    Chapter 12

    Lyra’s POVI froze immediately on the spot. What could have happened?... Was he suffering from a sickness I wasn't aware of?... Or was that just guilt mercilessly eating him up?. Different thoughts ran through my mind while I stared at the phone, face blank. Interesting how it was just less than 10 minutes ago but it had already made it's way to the headlines on social media.Theo, who had been packing up his cords, froze mid-motion. “He collapsed?”Ava nodded. “Backstage, ten minutes ago. They said he’s conscious, but weak. The organizers are losing their minds. The concert starts in less than 20 minutes from now.”I handed her back the phone. “Who’s taking his place?”“The manager said if he can’t sing, they’ll cancel.”“Cancel?” I echoed whilst Ava swallowed hard, nodding her head at the same time.“No, we can't just cancel the show because of one person.” I said firmly, already moving for the door. “The show goes on.”I walked backstage just to meet a total disaster…. Paramedics r

  • The Singing Phoenix's Revenge    Chapter 11

    Lyra’s POV It has been five days since the last scandal was released. The whole media traffic had already died down. Seraphina and her team were able to convince the public that it was just a little misunderstanding between us and we had already ironed things out and we were now at peace. Again… we had another concert which was supposed to start in an hour or so. Though it was a musical tour and back to back concerts in the different cities of France was expected, I was already getting tired and sick of it. I was at a corner backstage trying to fix my makeup. Since I was still undercover I couldn't let any other person handle it.Theo was at the soundboard, quietly testing microphones. Cassian had disappeared into a corner call. That guy…. He was always making calls. Seraphina wasn't here yet. That’s when I felt him.The air shifted. It was familiar.. but unwanted.“Lyra.”I didn’t turn. My name from his mouth still carried too much history.“Don’t,” I said quietly.He moved closer.

  • The Singing Phoenix's Revenge    Chapter 9

    Dorian's POV It was already the second week of our tour and so far, sleep had already found its way to being my worst enemy. I spent most of the nights restless, either rolling from one side to the other on the bed or sitting by the wine cellar drowning myself in alcohol as I thought of how fast life could just change in the blink of an eye.Lyra was an entirely different person now and our collaboration felt more like torture than a tour. It felt like walking on broken bottles on an endless journey.I was still deep in thoughts and didn't realize when Seraphina had come.“Dorian?” She called, hitting my left shoulder to get my attention.“Huh?” I replied, jolting back to reality.“What have you been thinking about?”“Nothing important”, I replied tiredly with my voice low.“Nothing important, but you didn't see me walk in neither did you hear any of the things I said?” she asked, raising her brows.“Common Dorian, don't tell me you're still sulking over that Lyra girl. The more weak

  • The Singing Phoenix's Revenge    Chapter 8

    Lyra's POV I arrived at the rehearsal hall which was busy with sound engineers and technicians working on the speakers, lights and every other instrument in preparation for our concert which was meant to be held this evening and was still about 8 hours away.Cassian was already there, sitting on a chair at one corner, swiping through the pages of some files, with that aura of authority he naturally carried.“Right on time, ” he said looking up as we shared a light hug.“I always am”, I teased, setting my bag on the table that was just right behind his seat.He nodded towards two figures standing near the control booth. “So Lyra, two more people have been added to our team. Meet Ava, she's a professional Journalist. She handles everything media and publicity. And Theo, a professional sound engineer and system analyst. Together, I believe you guys will make a great team.Ava extended her hand for a handshake. “You have nothing to worry about, we'll control the narrative. The world will
