***Inside her car, Anastasia Noire gripped the wheel tightly, trying to concentrate on the road ahead, but her mind kept replaying the events of the night before. Tonight had been nothing but a series of misfortunes.The injured man she had found now lay unconscious in the back of her car. She had no idea who he was or why he had been attacked, but she knew that she had inadvertently become involved in something much bigger than she had anticipated. Her instincts warned her to stay alert - and those instincts proved to be right.As she glanced in her rear-view mirror, her heart skipped a beat. A large black SUV was speeding towards her, closing in fast. Her face went pale as she recognised it as the same vehicle she had seen earlier, driven by those burly men."Damn," Anastasia muttered, tapping the steering wheel nervously. "They're after me."The black SUV came closer, almost side-by-side with her car. Without hesitation, Anastasia slammed her foot down on the accelerator, hoping t

***"What? All the commercial deals are cancelled and I have to pay compensation? What's the reason?" Anastasia asked in shock.Lyra sighed heavily. "I don't know the exact reason either. They said you broke the rules and got involved in a big scandal.""A scandal? What? You know as well as I do that I've never been involved in anything like that in my entire career!"Lyra remained silent, biting her lip. It was hard for her to reveal the nature of the scandal that had derailed Anastasia's career.What should have been a major project for Anastasia had suddenly fallen through. Clients who had been eager to work with her disappeared without explanation, and demands for compensation came out of nowhere. It was a strange and deeply suspicious situation."Lyra, I'm talking to you. Look at me!" Anastasia's voice was sharp and direct.Lyra looked up, her eyes flashing with panic before she quickly composed herself. "What is it?""Something's wrong. Deals are being cancelled and now I have t

***Anastasia was very worried, it was getting late. But none of her friends helped her, even all her calls were rejected by them. Anastasia was frustrated because she had promised to give a letter when she and Max got married."Why don't you sleep at night? You haven't even eaten," Maximilan said. Actually, he already knew what she wanted and he also knew Anastasia's problem that was currently a hot topic in the country, but he secretly didn't know because he wanted to know what Anastasia would do.Anastasia sighed, she was frustrated and looked at him."Max, we have to get married!""Get married? You want to marry me?"Anastasia nodded, "Yes. I've already told them we're married. How about we get married for a while? At least two years, for example, and then we can part on good terms?"Maximilian found what Anastasia said funny, she was offering a contract marriage?"Hmm... what's in it for me to be your husband?""You don't have a family, do you? And a place to live?" Anastasia ask

***Anastasia stood behind a thick curtain and surveyed the row of seats filled with reporters in front of her. The cameras' flashes flickered, as if to highlight every second that passed before she stepped forward. Today she was going to reveal something that had been a hot topic for a long time, that she shared a roof with a strange man and that there had been a lot of bad news about her lately.Lyra patted her shoulder gently. "It's time, Anastasia."Anastasia nodded and took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. "Alright, let's do this."Her steps were steady as she walked forward to the podium that had been set up in the center of the stage. The spotlight was immediately on her, and the thunderous sound of reporters' whispers echoed through the room. With her head held high, Anastasia stood before them, her eyes sharp and confident.After making sure everyone was paying attention to her, Anastasia began, "Thank you for being here today. There is something I want to share with you

***"Let go!"Leon just smiled triumphantly, looking down and up at Anastasia."Leon," Anastasia said coldly, looking at the man without showing the slightest emotion. "Let go of my hand."But Leon did not obey her order immediately. Instead, he tightened his grip, as if to savor the feeling of possessing Anastasia, if only for a moment. His gaze slid from her face to the rest of her body, and he swallowed, as if holding himself back."Anastasia," he said softly, but there was a mocking tone in his voice. "I can't help but notice how beautiful you are today. You're always charming."Anastasia just stared at him with a cold, piercing stare, without the slightest hint of a smile. "Let go of my hand, Leon," she repeated in a firmer tone.Leon paused for a moment, then chuckled before moving his face close to Anastasia's ear so she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "I can save your career, Anastasia. Rafael may have left you, but I have the power to change everything. You just have
