***

Anastasia and Lyra walked quickly to the departure gate at the New York airport. The airport was busy that morning, but Anastasia's mind was filled with thoughts of her trip to Paris. Paris Fashion Week, an exclusive invitation from Coeur de Luxe, and a great opportunity that should make her happy - but not today.

Anastasia's footsteps suddenly stopped. Her eyes were fixed on a figure she knew very well. In the crowd of passing passengers, she saw the man she had missed for so long, but who also made her heart hurt even more - her father, Rhett Noire.

Rhett stood there, smiling warmly, but not at her. His hug was tight, loving, but not for his daughter. Elora, his stepdaughter, received all the attention, a satisfied smile painted on her face. Like a dagger slowly piercing, Anastasia's heart felt broken.

Tears almost fell, but Anastasia held them back. She couldn't cry. Not here. Not in front of Lyra. And especially not in front of Rhett, Aria and Elora. With trembling lips she tr

  • The Star's Secret Husband   112. Just Trust You

    ***At the Kingsley family's main residence...Maximilian stared at his phone screen, his eyes sharp. His rage had only increased after seeing photos of Leon Hale and Anastasia kissing in the media that morning. The photos seemed to prove their closeness, something she couldn't possibly believe. Anastasia had long forgotten Leon, but now she was dragged back into the media drama. She clenched her fists tightly, nearly smashing the screen."Bryan, find out everything. I want Leon Hale to get what's coming to him." Her voice was low but threatening.Bryan, who was already standing in front of her, nodded respectfully. "I will investigate further, sir." Before the photo went viral, Miss Anastasia received a message from Lyra's cell phone. The message directed her to the hotel room. However, upon checking, they found that Lyra's cell phone was missing. This is obviously a trap."Maximilian straightened up, his jaw hardening. "A trap, huh?" I guessed as much. You must find out who is behin

    ***"Don't you dare touch what I have!" Maximilian's firm, cold voice stopped Renata, who had just picked up the cell phone. Startled, her face pale, she smiled clumsily to cover her nervousness."I only answered it because your phone kept ringing. I thought it was important," Renata replied, trying to sound calm.Maximilian snatched the phone out of her hand roughly. "You don't deserve to answer it!" Maximilian replied sharply, making Renata feel even more cornered."I only meant to help," Renata said, trying to defend herself. However, Maximilian's cold gaze destroyed all her good intentions. She looked down, but a deep curiosity remained in her heart.Ignoring her again, Maximilian stood up from his chair, preparing to leave. However, Renata, not wanting the conversation to end so easily, grabbed his arm. His arm flinched in anger at her touch.“Don't touch me!” Maximilian brushed Renata's hand away quickly, his eyes flashing with unusual anger. "Do you want me to suffer? Because y

  • The Star's Secret Husband   110. Who is She?

    *** "Don't you miss me, Ana?" he whispered in her ear, his voice low but clear. "If I miss you, can we go back to the way things were?"Anastasia froze. She stared intently at Leon, her body shaking slightly with anger. Leon stood before her with a smile that seemed full of regret, but Anastasia knew better. The man before her was no longer someone she could trust, no longer someone she could love."Let me go, Leon!" Anastasia said firmly, pulling at her arm that was in Leon's grasp. "I've forgotten you completely, and there's not a bit of feeling left between us."Leon looked at Anastasia with a sharp look that began to turn angry. He did not seem to accept the rejection. "Don't talk like that, Anastasia. You know we have something. You can't just forget me!"Anastasia straightened her body. "We're done, Leon. A long time ago."Leon quickly pulled Anastasia's arm and roughly hugged her body. Anastasia's breath caught as her body was pulled so close to Leon. The man was clearly losin

  • The Star's Secret Husband   109. Never Been So Crazy

    ***Anastasia lay in Maximilian's arms, feeling peaceful under the warm blanket. The night was growing late around them, but the silence of the room brought peace. Maximilian kissed the top of her head gently, his breathing slow and steady."I may not be able to come home for a week," Maximilian said suddenly. "I have work to do. I'm leaving town the day after tomorrow."Anastasia turned her head slightly, her eyebrows knitted together. "What work? Aren't you just a cook and should always be in the restaurant?"Maximilian smiled a little, as if the question was funny to him. "Yes, but this time there was a special training. I have to learn new menus to be better prepared for the new menus in the restaurant."Anastasia was silent, her heart a little uneasy. It was Selene's wedding anniversary in five days and she planned to travel to New Zealand for the celebration. She wanted to tell Maximilian, but was afraid it would interfere with her work.She sighed slowly and decided to postpone

    ***"Are you crazy? Do you want to ruin your reputation if I expose this scandal?" Joseph asked."Scandal? The public will forget about it later. Isn't that what happened with Anastasia? She was blasphemed and exiled, but she soon shone again, and the public forgot about her scandal," Leon replied.Joseph let out a long sigh. "That's because she's Anastasia. She has great talent, and all her scandals disappear because she has the brightest star aura. Her talent is extraordinary. The public loves all her work.""The same will happen to me if Anastasia and I get back together," Leon said."This is crazy, Leon. You want to go back to Anastasia? Haven't you been using her all this time? You already have everything. Even if you quit showbiz, the Hale family is wealthy, and Elora is submissive. I think you'd be wasting your time trying to get Anastasia back. She's already married."“I’m pretty sure that man is just a hired husband. I know Anastasia well, and I'm her only male friend. She do

  • The Star's Secret Husband   107. Not a Trash Son-in-Law

    ***"If you have time, I'll wait for you at the French restaurant. I have something I want to talk to you about."Anastasia stared at her phone, disbelieving. She had just received a message from someone who made her heart skip a beat: Rhett Noire, her rarely-contacting father, suddenly wanted to meet. It was a short message, but it made her uneasy."Why, Ana?" asked Maximilian, who had just entered the room. He noticed her unusual expression and immediately sensed that something was wrong.She handed him her cell phone wordlessly. Maximilian looked at the name of the sender. Although he was surprised, he tried to remain calm."Rhett Noire?" Maximilian pretended not to understand, hoping Anastasia would explain further.Anastasia sighed softly, her voice full of confusion. "He's... Rhett Noire—my father. You met him once before when he hit you that night. I broke off our relationship. I told him I would never use his last name again. But now he wants to see me. I don't know what to do
