Adrian looked at the curtains and then at the hotel street outside, watching Lydia’s car leave the premises. “She really is that stupid,” he said, as if amused by a pet playing in danger. “It’s not that she’s stupid,” Joshua answered, standing a half-step behind him. “She’s desperate. She wants what she can’t have. She’s a perfect instrument if you give her proof.” Adrian’s green eyes glinted, and a slow smile curved his lips. “And you fed her proof. Clever.” He turned back toward Joshua, and there was a careful deference in his manner that spoke of respect... or fear. Joshua smiled up at him, appreciative as a man looking at a patron. He was wholeheartedly loyal to Adrian. “You know why I joined you,” Joshua said, almost pleading. “I’m tired of wandering, tired of having nothing. I want someone who understands how to get in and how to make a place inside. With you, we can take them down. You have… vision.” He tried to sing praises to Adrian. Adrian made no answer to his overly

He looked at Cassie for a long moment before tearing it open. Everyone watched him... every heartbeat suspended in the air... as he pulled out the second document. He opened it. "Read it." And then, slowly, he placed it on the table beside the first. It was another DNA result... this one from the same hospital. Only this time, the document read: 99.99% compatibility... Nikolai Rosewood and Emily McCarthy Rosewood: biological relation confirmed. Gasps erupted around the room. Gloria stood up in shock. "What... how..Two different results from the same test?!" Camilla clutched Lucas's arm. "This... this doesn't make sense!" Cassie's knees buckled. "What's going on?" she whispered. "Nick... what does this mean?" Nikolai's jaw tightened. He looked around the room with a sharp gaze. "It means," he said finally, his voice low and dangerous, "someone tried to sabotage the test." The room fell into stunned silence. Cassie stared at him, tears glistening on her lashes. "You mean...

“Harlow!” Cassie said firmly. “Please. Don’t do anything rash. Let Nikolai handle it.” There was a long silence. Then, a grumble. “Fine. But if he doesn’t destroy her, I will.” She smiled tiredly. “Thank you for caring.” “Always,” he muttered before hanging up. Her next call was to Rafael. Unlike the others, his voice was calm, measured, and yet filled with concern. “I’ve seen the news,” he said. “But don’t worry, we’re handling it. I’ve already pulled a few strings with the network heads. They’ll be scrubbing most of the headlines by this afternoon. Your husband’s lawyers are already in touch with the media outlets.” Cassie rubbed her temple. “I didn’t even have to tell him, did I?” Rafael chuckled softly. “You know Niko. He doesn’t let anyone touch what’s his.” Cassie chuckled. “Yeah. I know.” “Listen,” Rafael continued. “You’ve got a meeting today at the studio. Veronica will be there too. And about the manager, it’s official. He’ll be managing your career from now on, with

She ended it there. The firm conviction in her tone left no room for argument. For a long second, no one spoke. Then one of the junior actresses, Rebecca, stepped forward. “Ms. Cassie, we believe you. Don’t let those internet trolls get to you.” “Yeah,” another chimed in, “we’ll defend you online. They don’t even know you.” With that, almost everyone started voicing out how they were going to defend her on the internet. Yes, there was some rivalry among all of them as they strive to he on top. However, they wouldn't allow outsiders to bully a member of their company. Cassie couldn’t help it... she laughed softly. “Please don’t start an online war because of me. Just… focus on work.” The tension in the air melted slightly. A few smiled. Others nodded. Cassie felt a strange warmth in her chest, despite everything, there were still people who cared. Veronica soon stormed in after them, still seething. “Those cockroaches are lucky I didn’t bring my gun. I swear, Cass, they’re go

It was almost 4 p.m., and the once-bustling corridors of the studio had grown quieter. Cassie glanced at her wristwatch, realizing with a small sigh that she’d stayed much longer than she planned. She still had to get home and prepare dinner for her family. Emily loved her home-cooked meals, and lately, Cassie found peace in the little routines, chopping vegetables, humming while stirring a pot, hearing Nikolai’s deep voice in the background teasing her about her cooking. It was domestic bliss she never thought she’d have after all the chaos. And yet… something about today felt off. Cassie shook the thought away and walked down the hall. She stopped by the rehearsal room to check on her three mentees. “Are you guys ready for tomorrow’s audition?” she asked, hands on her hips and a warm smile curving her lips. Lila looked up from her script and nodded quickly. “Yes, Mentor! We were practicing the dialogue for tomorrow.” Cassie walked closer, glancing over their shoulder
