Chapter 52Amanda POVI arrived at the audition venue already convinced the day belonged to me.The car ride over felt ceremonial, like a procession rather than a commute. Every red light was an inconvenience, every delay an insult to momentum. My phone buzzed with congratulatory messages I hadn’t even had time to fully read—producers who had suddenly remembered my name, acquaintances who sensed gravity shifting and wanted proximity before it settled.Full funding did that. It rewired how people saw you.The building itself confirmed it the moment I stepped inside. The lobby had been upgraded—sleeker signage, better lighting, a registration desk staffed by people who looked trained to be discreet rather than friendly. Security stood near the elevators, unobtrusive but unmistakable. It was not bulky or theatrical. Professional.I took it all in with quiet satisfaction. This was the tier I belonged in.As I walked down the corridor toward the audition rooms, heels clicking with intentio

Chapter 54Ella POV The doors closed behind me with a muted finality that felt deliberate, as though the building itself understood what had just ended.I did not rush. I did not hesitate either. I was not going to stand there and watch Amanda blab or now she was done gloating, watch her realize how messed up things had turned. She was about to dance to the tune of repercussions. I had carefully planned this trap and she had fallen so deep inside of it. Now it was my turn to watch it all unfold. The director would come rushing and probably try to talk me out of the entire thing. He was not my problem; he was only a way to hurt Amanda, one of the pawns that had to suffer in this long game. Definitely not my problem. The corridor outside the audition hall was quieter than it should have been, the hum of activity muffled by thick walls and thicker tension. My heels moved in a steady rhythm against polished floors, each step measured, unhurried. I kept my shoulders straight, my chin lev

Chapter 56Amanda POV The project didn’t die quietly. It collapsed and the sound of it—emails flooding in, meetings dissolving, assistants avoiding eye contact—rang in my ears like an accusation I refused to accept.“This is insane,” I snapped, pacing the length of the living room for the third time. “You don’t just pull funding like that. Not without warning.”Luciano sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, hands clasped tightly together. He hadn’t taken his jacket off since he came in, as though he might leave at any moment or vanish if he stayed too long.“She did,” he said quietly. “The contract allowed it.”That word again. Allowed.I laughed, sharp and humorless. “Of course you’d say that. You’re already defending her.”His head snapped up. “This isn’t about defending anyone.”“It always is with you,” I shot back. “You’ve been halfway on her side since the rumors started.”Luciano’s jaw tightened. “I’m trying to understand what we did wrong.”We. There it was. That w

Chapter 58Ella POV I arrived first. Yes it had been intentional. I had to lookout for any possible loopholes.The restaurant was quiet in the way expensive places often were when discretion was part of the service. Soft lighting. Too much space between tables. The kind of room designed to absorb consequences without echo. I chose a seat with my back to the wall, not because I was defensive, but because I wanted to see everyone when they walked in.I had already ordered water by the time the door opened again.Amanda entered first.She hesitated when she saw me, just a fraction of a second too long, as though she had hoped I would not be there yet. Her confidence, which once filled rooms before her, had thinned. It had not disappeared but it dulled at the edges. She was dressed carefully, neutrally. No statement pieces. No red. Her posture was rigid, like someone bracing for weather they had been warned about but still did not believe would hit them.The director followed close behin

Chapter 60Ella POV I returned home with the image still burning behind my eyes.Amanda’s knees on the floor. Luciano beside her. The silence was so thick it had weight. The way shame had moved through the room like a slow tide, inevitable and irreversible. I had walked out standing, spine straight, breath steady yet inside me, something had loosened. It was not cracked or broken. Just loosened.I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a brief second longer than necessary. I felt… light.The sensation startled me. There was no guilt chasing it, no moral aftertaste. Just a clean, unsettling clarity. Satisfaction without regret. Closure without softness. I had expected to feel darker after today. Instead, my chest felt oddly open, like a long-held breath finally released.I straightened, removed my shoes, and stepped deeper into the house. Alpha Rohan was already there.He sat on the couch with the quiet authority that seemed to radiate from him even when he did nothing at
