The Star's Secret Husband 77. Believe in Your Promise
***Anastasia looked at her reflection with mixed feelings. She bit her lip lightly, checking for signs of redness scattered across her neck and shoulders. Those marks were clear evidence of last night - Maximilian never hid his feelings. Last night, the man had been completely out of control, and now Anastasia let out a long sigh, trying to figure out how to hide it all.Today she had an important appointment at the recording studio, and the trace of redness on her neck was very obvious. The New York summer was at its peak and covering her neck with a scarf was definitely out of the question. Anastasia sighed again, this time a little louder.From behind the bathroom door came Maximilian, a towel wrapped around his waist. "Why do you keep looking in the mirror, Ana?" he asked, looking at Anastasia with a smile on his lips.Anastasia gave Maximilian an annoyed look, "Didn't I tell you I have to go to the recording studio today? And there's also a dinner tonight with some of the employ

***Anastasia came out of the recording room with a smile that could not be hidden. The atmosphere in the studio was light after a recording session that went perfectly. The songs were recorded in just one take, something that rarely happens. The studio staff applauded and praised her."Anastasia, amazing! You were really perfect today," praised one of the sound engineers with a big smile."Thank you," Anastasia replied in a happy voice. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.Lyra, standing next to Anastasia, also smiled proudly. However, her eyes narrowed as she noticed something that made her wonder."Uh, Ana..." Lyra spoke suddenly with a curious look on her face. "Why is there a red mark on your neck?"Suddenly, everyone in the studio turned to Anastasia. The atmosphere that had been full of laughter was suddenly silent and all eyes were now focused on Anastasia's neck.Anastasia's eyes widened, her hand reflexively touching her neck, feeling the reddish ma

***"She's back, are you okay?" asked Steven. "Did you really forget everything? All the memories of your teenage years with her?"Maximilian sighed softly and put his full coffee cup down on the table. "I have forgotten everything," he replied calmly. "The memories of our teenage years, the feelings that once existed... they're all meaningless. Besides, in the past I only admired Renata. It wasn't love, just the admiration of a growing man. There were no feelings that made me flutter when I was with her."Steven looked seriously at Maximilian, trying to read his expression. But Maximilian seemed so calm, as if everything he said was sincere. But Steven still had an important question."In that case," Steven continued quietly, "what about his past mistakes? Have you forgiven him?"The question left Maximilian speechless. The atmosphere suddenly became tense and Steven could see a slight change in his friend's face. Flashes of the dark past seemed to come back to Maximilian's mind, rem

***Anastasia sat on the couch in the recording studio, her eyes still wide open. It was after midnight, but she couldn't close her eyes. Although her body was tired after a hard day's work, her mind was still spinning. She had decided to sleep in the studio, just like the previous nights. After all, Maximilian wasn't coming back to the apartment, so there was no reason for him to go home.She let out a long sigh and looked around the quiet but familiar studio. This was the place where she worked, the place that gave her an escape from her never-ending worries. Tonight, however, that escape felt futile. Her mind went back to the meeting with her father, Rhett Noire, a few days ago. His father's cold words still rang in her ears.Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the door opening gently. Anastasia turned her head, surprised to see Lyra still in the company."Lyra? You're not home yet?" Anastasia asked in a low voice, looking at her best friend in

***Anastasia was back in her apartment, sitting on the edge of her bed, taking a deep breath as she checked her phone. Her fingers scanned the screen, searching for any messages she might have missed while she slept. Suddenly, her eyes widened. Maximilian had sent her many messages last night, but she hadn't had time to answer them because she was too tired after a hard day at the studio. The last message was short, but it surprised her:"I'll be back. Call me when you have time."Anastasia's heart beat faster. Max was coming back? She hadn't expected him to be back so soon. So she pressed the call button, hoping to speak to her husband.But after a few rings there was no answer from Maximilian. Anastasia let out a long breath, feeling a little disappointed. She looked at the clock on her phone screen and realized that time was ticking and that she had to attend the launch of the latest jewelry from Coeur de Luxe, for which she was the brand ambassador, this afternoon. She also had a

***Maximilian sat in a luxurious leather seat in his private jet. The gentle breeze from the plane's vents created a serene atmosphere in the cabin. Meanwhile, on the screen of the tablet in his hand, he watched a video of Anastasia, who had just won the Best Female Vocalist award. He couldn't take his eyes off her radiant face on the stage.His eyes were fixed as he listened to Anastasia's grateful words. And then, at the end of her speech, when Anastasia mentioned "husband" in front of thousands of spectators, Maximilian smiled faintly. That one word, that one word that made the crowd go wild, made him feel an unbearable sense of pride. He played the video over and over again, making sure that every word that came out of Anastasia's mouth sounded perfect in his ears."Husband... Yes, that's how it should be," Maximilian murmured in a low voice. He adjusted the collar of his shirt and loosened his tie a little, feeling more comfortable in his solitude on this plane.Anastasia's vide

***Anastasia sat on the balcony of her apartment, gazing up at the late night sky. The cold night breeze hit her skin, but the chill was nothing compared to the turmoil in her heart. The glass of wine in her hand was nearly empty, and the bottle on the table next to her was nearly gone. Anastasia didn't usually drink, let alone wine. She knew she was a bad drinker, but tonight she didn't care. Her mind was too full and she just wanted to drown out the pain that wouldn't go away.He looked up at the empty black sky, only a few stars were faintly visible. In the silence of the night, her mind continued to wrestle with the images of the past that continued to haunt her. The pain, the betrayal, the humiliation never seemed to disappear from her life. Especially when her mother's name was mentioned, the wound would reopen as if it were yesterday."Mama..." she murmured softly, her voice almost drowned out by the night wind. Her eyes began to tear, but she held them back. She didn't want t

***Maximilian sat on the sofa in his apartment, staring at the nearly empty wine bottle in front of him. His mind raced as he continued reading the document about Anastasia's past, which was open on his tablet screen. His heart was in turmoil. Every word he read felt like a thorn in his chest. He never realized how hard Anastasia's life had been—abandoned, scorned, hurt, and treated cruelly by the world. How had such a small girl survived?He reached for the wine glass on the table and took a quick sip, trying to chase away the sudden pain haunting him. Seeing Anastasia's smiling face in public photos confused him even more. The woman he knew was so cheerful and vibrant, yet there was so much hidden suffering underneath it all."How can that be?" Maximilian muttered quietly, putting down his glass roughly. "How can she keep smiling when the world is so cruel to her?"His eyes remained glued to a photograph of Anastasia as a child standing alone on a school stage, hugging the micropho

***Anastasia was trying on dresses in a luxury boutique owned by Celine Idzes when her eyes accidentally met a familiar figure. Renata and Selene Kingsley were standing near the boutique's entrance, smiling at her. With graceful steps, they approached her."Anastasia, what a coincidence to meet here," Selene said warmly. "It's been a while since we had dinner together."Anastasia smiled and arranged her long, flowing hair. "I'm glad to see you, too. How about we have dinner together? Aunt Celine might be able to join us, too.”“Sure, dear,” Celine replied.After they agreed, they headed to a fancy restaurant in the city center. The restaurant's atmosphere that night was elegant.

"Because you are precious, Ana," he said in a low, sincere voice. "I will definitely take care of you."Anastasia's eyes glazed over at the words of the man who had been filling her days. "You know," Maximilian continued, still looking deeply into her eyes, "in all my life, I've never felt this crazy about a woman. I'm scared that if you leave me one day, my life will fall apart."Anastasia was silent, listening to every word that came out of Maximilian's mouth.

Her eyes blazing with hate, her voice shaking as she glared at Anya, who stood trembling across from her."You are completely incompetent," Elora shouted, her tone filled with anger that threatened to explode. "I've given you time, money and everything you need to make sure that Anastasia's latest album fails. But look what's happening now!"Anya looked down and tried to calm her increasingly labored breathing. "I... I did everything as planned, Elora.

"If you feel something's wrong, it's better to talk to him from the heart," Lyra finally said, her tone full of tenderness and support. "If Max really loves you, he wouldn't be able to lie to you."Anastasia fell silent for a moment, trying to take Lyra's advice in. She knew that talking to Maximilian was the only way to find answers.

***"Do you know Dr. Steven?" Anastasia asked.Lyra nodded. "You really don't know who he is? He's very famous.”Anastasia nodded. "As you know, I don't really get along with anyone in the entertainment world. I never go to parties or anything like that. Didn't Leon say that I'm socially inept?"Lyra nodded slowly. She had looked uneasy since they entered the apartment. Her eyes scanned the room, and she occasionally glanced at Anastasia with a doubtful look. Sitting on the sofa, Lyra finally took a deep breath and moved closer to Anastasia. She whispered in a serious tone,"Okay, I want to talk about something important, but not here," Lyra whispered. "We should talk face to face."Anastasia turned her head, surprised by the sudden request, but simply nodded. "Fine. Later, when things calm down, we'll talk," she replied, trying to calm Lyra down.

The laughter and excitement of the Athena Records staff filled the room as they celebrated the success of Anastasia's latest album, which would be released in two days. Music played softly in the background while warm lighting added to the festive atmosphere. However, in the midst of the fun, a sudden feeling of unease came over Anastasia.She sat in a corner of the room, holding a sparkling glass of red wine and staring out the window.
