"Ana... Why didn't I know she was here?" Maximilian muttered to himself.

Selene immediately approached Anastasia with a worried look on her face. Seeing the change in Anastasia's expression, she asked gently, "Ana, are you okay? Are you sick?”

Anastasia was still confused, her mind tangled with mixed emotions. She shook her head weakly, still unable to answer. Selene helped her stand up and looked at her with loving eyes.

"Ana, if you want to rest, you can go back. Mom doesn't mind. Really, she doesn't mind," Selene said again, her voice filled with genuine tenderness.

Anastasia mustered all her strength, trying to hold back the anxiety surging in her chest. She turned to look at Maximilian, who was standing nearby. However, he only stared at her blankly, as if everything that had happened were not worth paying attention to. Something inside her felt shattered, but she gently held Selene's hand and said, "I'm okay, Mama Selene."

Though her heart was in pieces, Anastasia forced her

    ***"Mama Selene," Anastasia said, surprised to see her and Renata standing in front of her hotel room."Did I disturb your rest, dear?" Selene asked gently, her eyes conveying the warmth of a caring mother.Anastasia smiled slightly, trying to hide her awkwardness. "No, Mama. I was just relaxing.”Renata stood beside Selene and smiled brightly. Without further ado, she said, "I already told Aunt Selene to invite you to dinner with me. Today is my birthday, and I want you to come. How about it? You can, right?"Anastasia was a little surprised by this sudden request. She paused for a moment, trying to read Renata's enthusiastic expression. However, an odd feeling was creeping into her heart. "Sure, Renata," she finally replied softly, though she was still uncertain. "Coincidentally, I'm still here, and I won't be returning to New York until tomorrow morning."Renata smiled contentedly, as if she had won something. "Finally! Auntie, see? Anastasia will definitely come," she said in a s

    ***Anastasia woke up and slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the hotel room ceiling. Memories of last night flooded her mind, causing her chest to tighten. Beside her, the bed was empty; there was no sign of him. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down. Last night, her mind had been a complete mess, vacillating between hatred and attraction. In the end, however, she gave in to her feelings for Maximilian Kingsley, the man whose true identity had been revealed."What was I thinking last night? Ana, you fool! He lied to you!" she muttered, her inner voice sounding full of regret and confusion. She looked at her scattered dress on the floor, carefully got out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and started getting dressed. Her steps felt heavy, but she knew what she had to do."I have to go back to New York," she whispered softly, as if to strengthen her resolve. She couldn't stay in this place. Everything was too much, too complicated.Just as she started to reach for her bag, the

    ***"I won't let you go, Ana. I love you.”Anastasia remained silent and looked at the man. Her feelings were complicated, so she looked at him coldly. "Then I'll leave, so you won't have to bother letting me go!""I won't let you go, ever!" Maximilian retorted."Oh, young Lord Kingsley, are you threatening me? Is it because you're important that you can threaten people like me so easily?""I'm not threatening you, Ana. I am your husband, and I will never allow you to leave."“Your husband? My husband's name is Max Stone, not Maximilian Kingsley!” retorted Anastasia."Maximilian Kingsley is your lawful husband, and you are my wife! Nothing can change that," said Maximilian.Startled, Anastasia shook her head. "You deceived me on purpose! Why, you bastard, Maximilian Kingsley! Let me go! Let me go!""You will stay here! I won't let you go either. I'll tell you everything when you feel better," Maximilian said."My life isn't going to be okay, and it's all because of you!" Anastasia sho

  • The Star's Secret Husband   119. The Heir's Identity

    ***Amidst the lavish wedding anniversary party of Shayne and Selene Kingsley, Anastasia arrived with Lyra. The room, which had been filled with laughter and conversation, fell silent as soon as the public figure embroiled in scandal entered. The guests' eyes immediately turned to her, some curious and others obviously uncomfortable. How could a stranger be attending this private party? Typically, only three families were invited: the Kingsleys, the Idzes, and the Browns.Anastasia tried to calm herself, though the sharp stares and whispers around her made her feel awkward. She lifted her head but couldn't ignore the overwhelming feeling of exclusion."Is that really Anastasia?" one of the guests whispered beside her."Of course. Who else could it be? A famous public figure who—well, you know..."Anastasia swallowed hard. Her mind raced, and she felt as if she had made a mistake by attending this event. The judgmental stares and critical whispers felt piercing.Lyra, standing beside h

  • The Star's Secret Husband   118. I Love Her So Much!

    ***Lyra sat in the corner of the room, her gaze fixed on Anastasia as she played the piano. Her fingers danced across the keys, producing a soft yet emotional melody. It was as if she were speaking through the notes. Lyra could only stare, her mind torn between worry and guilt. The conversation she had with Steven earlier continued to haunt her, making her even more uncertain about Maximilian's secret.Lyra's phone vibrated in her hand and displayed a message from Maximilian:"Lyra, I'm entrusting Anastasia to you. Please don't let her know. I'll take care of everything. Trust me; I love her very much."Lyra sighed deeply, feeling the weight grow heavier. She wanted to tell Anastasia the truth about Maximilian, but her promise to him prevented her from doing so. Maximilian claimed to love Anastasia and wanted to make her happy.Anastasia finished her song and approached Lyra. Her smile was gentle, but her face was full of concern. "Lyra, are you sick?" she asked, furrowing her brow.
