Stella hadn't gotten over the shock of knowing that Elowen would be acting in a movie. The same movie she was supposed to act in but was withdrawn from by her agency and the contract was terminated because she had injured her nose then.The memory of that day still hurt her deeply.Her nose injury had seemed small at first, but it cost her something big. It cost her the role. It cost her the opportunity. It cost her the spotlight she had already started dreaming about.“ How was she able to get the role ” Stella said lowly as she wiped her tears.Her voice was weak. Her face was pale. Her eyes were swollen from crying since yesterday.Stella’s mind had been in a state of confusion since yesterday. Her contract being terminated had pained her deeply then and still was because she knew what acting in the movie was. Any movie produced by Davie Entertainment industry was always a hit and Stella knew by acting in the movie would elevate her career.It was not just a role.It was a stepping

The game started lightly.Elowen positioned herself well in her wheelchair. The chair moved forward smoothly, ready to chase the ball, but it was still difficult. No matter how advanced the model was, she still had to control it carefully while watching the ball.Lucien bounced the ball once, twice, then moved quickly past her. The sound of the ball hitting the concrete echoed across the quiet court.He scored the first point.He turned back to Elowen with a teasing smile.“That was too easy,” he said and chuckled when Elowen rolled her eyes.“You moved too fast,” Elowen said with a slight hiss.“Excuses already?” Lucien said, still smiling as he walked back to her so they could continue.Elowen scoffed and pressed the control again, steering her wheelchair to block him this time. But Lucien shifted to the side and scored again.“Detective Lucien,” Elowen complained with a pouted lip.Shouldn’t he be a little gentle with her? she wondered.Lucien laughed softly at the complaint in her

“Was that a gunshot?” Elowen asked Lucien with a trembling voice.Her hands held onto his body tightly in fear. Her heart was pounding so hard.Lucien didn’t reply. His sharp eyes were scanning the area, trying to know where the gunshots had come from.At first, he had thought the shooting was near them, and that was why he had instinctively covered Elowen with his body.But now, looking carefully, it seemed the sound had come from the next street.“Are you alright, Sir?”An alert voice asked from behind. The man stood in guard, a gun in his hand, his eyes scanning the area, ready to strike at any moment.Lucien slowly pulled away from Elowen and looked at the man with a silent question in his eyes.The man was Abel, Lucien’s shadow bodyguard. Though Lucien was a police officer, he was also a businessman. Abel always followed Lucien closely in silence, watching over him.“There is a robbery going on at the next street,” Abel said, understanding Lucien’s silent question.Elowen tremble

“Lucien,” Elowen called again, moving her wheelchair closer to the driver’s seat door. She almost reached for the handle to open it for him. Her heart was still racing, but now it was filled with relief instead of fear.“Why are you outside?” Lucien asked in displeasure as he stepped out of the car. “ It's cold out here” His voice was low but firm. His eyes immediately moved to Abel, and his expression darkened. He did not like that Elowen had been left outside waiting.Abel lowered his head in silence. He had told her to go inside many times, but she refused. Still, he did not explain himself. He simply accepted Lucien’s displeasure.“I was worried,” Elowen said softly, looking at Lucien from head to toe. Her eyes searched his body carefully. “Are you okay?” She held his hand and examined him like she was checking for hidden wounds.Her mind slowly relaxed when she saw that he looked just as he did before he left. No blood. No injury. Just tired.“I told you not to worry. I said I w

Elowen slowly turned her head back to see who had spoken.She saw that it was Jessica, Rachel’s assistant. Jessica was standing a few steps behind her, looking at her with irritation and open dislike.Elowen quietly turned her face away again. She did not want to engage with her.“I didn’t expect you would be this shameless,” Jessica said sharply as she walked forward and stopped right in front of Elowen. She stood only a few steps away, staring down at her with disgust. “To still show up after you ruined the production launch party and turned it all about yourself.”Her voice was full of anger.The memory of that night still burned inside Jessica. In her heart, Rachel was supposed to shine that evening. Rachel was meant to be the center of attention. Instead, Elowen had taken the spotlight and even made headlines. Jessica had hated it deeply.Elowen’s brows furrowed slightly at her words, but she remained silent. She did not think Jessica deserved her response.“You don’t want to tal
