Chapter 42The set was filled with applause and flower-giving after the final scene between Amara and Fabian. Fabian was drenched, and his manager handed him a towel.“Fabian, are you okay?” the director asked. They had done five takes of the last scene where Fabian fell into the sea because of Victor.Fabian simply nodded in response. He glanced at the camera crew and stayed in character, continuing to work professionally.From the sidelines, Victor shot a glare at Fabian. All the staff and co-actors felt the tension between the two, but no one reacted.“Gosh, Mr. Valencia seems to be taking his character too seriously. Did you see what he did to Mr. Martinez?”“Yeah, I saw that. I think he did it on purpose to get back at him.”That was just one of the conversations among the staff in a private group chat—which eventually leaked to the media and went viral.Fabian was completely drained after filming. He had no energy left as they walked to the car.He couldn’t even wave at the fans

Chapter 44The Valencia family’s legal team doubled down on their narrative: they claimed Sonia had been the first to cheat and that she had run away from the mansion and never returned. Eventually, they assumed she had died.Sonia’s expression darkened, but she didn’t interrupt. She sat in silence, waiting for the opposing lawyer to finish speaking.Some of the long-time household staff of the Valencia mansion, including a few of Sonia’s former friends, were also called to testify. They claimed Sonia had serious temperament issues and was too obsessed with herself.“We wouldn’t be surprised if she really had mental issues,” one testified.Victor stood confidently and declared, “I am Vladimir’s father. My marriage to Themarie is legal, and we can give Vladimir a complete family.” Their lawyer presented the marriage certificate, complete with the date and location.Sonia could only shake her head. She knew the country where Victor and Themarie got married had legalized divorce—and, uns

Chapter 46"Was it really just an accident?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. We were speaking to Manager Jomari’s friend, a police officer."The truck driver was drunk. He died on the spot. According to the responding officers and the team that assessed the scene, all signs point to a genuine accident," the officer replied.I frowned. "What kind of truck rammed into the police station?"The officer handed over a photo. "It was a logging truck carrying massive timber logs."I took the photo and examined it, still frowning. "Why were the casualties so high?""Because of the logs," the officer added. "It was a heavy-duty truck, and it lost control.""That’s strange," France suddenly said from the carpet, where he and Vladimir were playing chess."What is it, honey?" I asked, glancing at the two boys."Why was a logging truck in the city?" France asked, brows furrowed. The officer turned slightly, now paying closer attention."That area is far from the mountains," Vladimir chimed in. "There a

Chapter 48 I’m currently reading through the script while sitting inside the tent. I can hear France and Vladimir laughing outside, chasing after my children with Amara’s younger sibling. They’re all playing joyfully.Suddenly, someone kissed me on the cheek, making me jump in surprise and turn my head. Fabian burst into laughter and handed me a flower."Gosh! You startled me," I said, clutching my chest. Fabian only chuckled and remarked how focused I seemed.“You’re doing well staying focused, considering how noisy the kids are,” Fabian said, sitting beside me. I smiled, sniffing the flowers he gave me."I’ve been in this industry for a while now. Do I look like someone who'd get distracted by a little noise?" I asked, remembering my early days. Back then, even while working part-time at a convenience store, I’d read scripts during my breaks.“There was even a building under construction beside that store,” I recalled. Fabian smiled, encouraging me to continue reading my script.“B
