Cecilia Lane shook uncontrollably as her manager, Camila Grant, helped her into the car.Cecilia's husband, Damian Lane, had promised her he'd taken care of every single photo.How could this have happened?She rushed home. Just as she reached for the study door, the conversation inside stopped her in her tracks."Mr. Lane, don't you think doing this is too cruel to Cecilia? She has worked so hard for so many years. This one scandal could destroy everything she has built. She might never get another acting job."Damian replied in a calm, detached voice, as if they were discussing something that didn't matter. "The Best Actress award belongs to Yvette. What's the harm in sacrificing Cecilia this once for Yvette's future?"Cecilia pressed her back against the wall as a chill ran down her spine."Mr. Lane, you really thought this through. With just three moves, you had Cecilia completely under your control."One of Damian's men flattered him."First, when she was new to the indus

Cecilia stared at the screen in disbelief. Her nails dug into her palm until blood stained the white couch cushion.How could Damian do this to her?Her chest heaved, and she struggled to breathe.Then again, Damian had covered up Yvette's hit-and-run and even married Cecilia for Yvette's sake.What wouldn't he do for Yvette?If Yvette wanted Cecilia dead, he would kill her without a second thought!The pain in Cecilia's chest was so intense that she couldn't stand up straight. She rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a paper bag, and held it over her mouth as she gasped for air.Just as her breathing began to settle, it quickened again when she heard Yvette's voice."Even though I've been blamed for Cecilia's actions, I don't hold it against her. I'm sure she has her reasons, even if she can't talk about them."The recent scandal over her nude photos has already put Cecilia through a lot. I hope everyone can show her some kindness. If she's truly sorry and willing to change, she

A soft, sweet voice cut through the whispers."Cecilia, don't blame the security guards. They didn't know that man was your brother. Mr. Lane has already called the police and had him taken to the station."Yvette walked over to Cecilia and offered her a tissue. "By the way, isn't your brother intellectually disabled? Don't tell me you told him to come here."The moment Yvette said that, the crowd grew even more restless. People looked Cecilia up and down, their eyes full of suspicion.Cecilia glanced at Yvette's fake look of concern, then walked right past her.The loud laughter and gossip behind her only stopped when the elevator doors closed.In the cab, Cecilia trembled anxiously. If anything happened to Elliot, she would truly have no one left.Tears rolled down her face as memories of when she was five years old slowly came back.Her drunken, abusive father had thrown her into the pond outside their home. Marika had tried to jump in and save Cecilia, but Cecilia's father

Damian hadn't come home all night. Early that morning, Cecilia saw Yvette's new post on social media."This is someone's way of making it up to me. Hmph!"The post featured a stunning set of luxury gemstone jewelry.Cecilia zoomed in on the jewelry and finally made out the figures reflected in it. At a candlelit dinner, Yvette had her arms around Damian and was kissing his cheek with puckered lips.Cecilia opened the comments from their mutual friends one by one."How sweet! When's the wedding?""Yvette, is this the boyfriend you've been keeping secret? He's rich and dotes on you. You're so lucky!""When are you going public?"Yvette had replied, "Marriage? It'll depend on someone's performance."Cecilia opened Yvette's profile and discovered that her cover photo showed her and Damian's shadows pressed close together.She had been such a fool. For three whole years, she had never once questioned such an obvious clue.Damian's call appeared on her screen. Her hand trembled as

Damian sat in the living room all night. When he checked his phone again, there was still no word from Cecilia.Suddenly, the sound of a key turning in the front door lock came from the foyer.He sprang to his feet, his chest tightening for no reason. A flicker of hope stirred inside him, though he didn't even notice it himself.Damian stared at the front door.It opened, but it was his assistant, Henry Smith, who came in. He looked tired and uneasy."Mr. Lane," Henry said softly. "We still haven't found Mrs. Lane. We've searched all the places she often visits, her friends' homes, and even the old house where she used to live. There's no sign of her, and we haven't found any clues about Elliot, either."Damian's heart sank, and his sense of panic only grew stronger.Seeing his grim expression, Henry hesitated before continuing."Mr. Lane, the online backlash against Mrs. Lane is getting worse. Videos and photos from last night's ceremony have spread widely, and the comments ar
