On The Spotlight
Emily’s world wasn’t just broken. It was strategically dismantled.
Three years of love. One devastating betrayal. A single moment that would leave a scar forever. The day Emily caught her boyfriend Jaden and her best friend Mika tangled in bed, something inside her died.
2 years later, she has worked to be everything Jaden said she could never be— a star actress, loved by many.
As Emily climbs the treacherous ladder of the entertainment industry, her betrayers return with a sinister plan. Mika, consumed by jealousy, doesn’t just want to compete – she wants to annihilate. Even if it meant becoming an actress herself. And Jaden? He’s the perfect weapon in her arsenal.
But in the entertainment industry, Power surpasses power. And there he was, Noah.
Noah. The king of the entertainment industry. Feared by many and had the lives of many wrapped around his fingers. He met Emily 2 years ago for the first time, snot mixing with tears, her broken glasses sliding down her face- she kept screaming at him “You can’t die! Not today!”. She saved him, and he owes his life to her.
But now, she doesn’t remember him. Also she has changed. She almost looked nothing like the ugly woman he saw that night— Mascara streaking down her blotchy cheeks, glasses bent and crooked, hair disheveled, looking utterly destroyed, a walking catastrophe of raw, ugly pain, far from what he was seeing now— who is this woman?
This isn’t a love story. This is a war. And Emily? She’s the prey. Would Noah be her Prince Charming that saves her?

Chapter: Chapter 17 - A Ride into uncertainty The day was drawing to an end. The once-bustling company now stood quiet, its halls almost deserted, save for the faint echoes of footsteps from the few remaining employees. The soft hum of computers shutting down filled the air as workers hurriedly packed up, eager to leave for the night. But Emily remained at her desk, lost in thought.“I will be leaving now, Emily,” Rachel’s voice broke through the silence, pulling Emily from her swirling thoughts.Emily looked up, managing a small nod as Rachel adjusted her bag.“It’s getting late. You should leave too,” Rachel advised, concern flickering in her eyes. She hesitated before adding, “And don’t think about things too much.”With that, Rachel turned and walked away, her figure disappearing down the dimly lit corridor.Emily’s lips barely curled into a smile before it vanished the moment Rachel was out of sight. Her mind was far too crowded to hold onto something as simple as a smile.Noah.His name lingered in her thoughts, entangling

Chapter: Chapter 16- People are watching Jaden paced the living room, his hands clenched into fists as he waited. His jaw was tight, his patience thin, and his thoughts chaotic. The minute Mika walked through the door, his eyes narrowed, filled with suppressed anger."Where are you coming from, Mika?" His tone carried clear annoyance.Mika barely glanced at him as she walked past, her heels clicking against the tiled floor. She exhaled tiredly, dropping her purse on the nearby couch."Can you at least let me walk in and relax before you start interrogating me?" she retorted, her voice indifferent.Jaden’s lips pressed into a thin line. He inhaled deeply, trying to contain his frustration. But he wouldn't let it slide—not this time."I said, where are you coming from?" His voice was calmer this time, but there was an underlying steel to it.Mika finally turned to face him, her gaze holding no trace of guilt or concern. "I went for a meeting with Mr. Richard," she said with a nonchalant shrug as she sank into the plush seat, s

Chapter: Chapter 15 - Higher forces The morning was breathtaking. The golden sun stretched its radiant arms across the city, kissing the skyscrapers with warmth and illuminating the streets with an ethereal glow. It was as if the world itself had paused, basking in its own reflection. The crisp air carried a promise—of power, of opportunity, of something shifting just beneath the surface.Mika stepped out of the sleek black car, her heels clicking against the polished marble driveway of Red Carpet Productions. She barely noticed the admiring glances that followed her; she was used to them. Today, however, admiration meant nothing—results did.Her pink silk gown, meticulously tailored to her form, shimmered with each graceful step. It wasn’t just a dress; it was armor—a reminder that she was untouchable. That despite the chaos beneath the surface, she was in control.Or at least, she needed to be.Her dark hair was swept into an elegant updo, revealing the delicate curve of her neck. Power, after all, wasn’t just about p

Chapter: Chapter 14 -Sit and Think,MikaBack at Starlight Entertainments, Mika stormed into her office, the air around her crackling with her anger. Her sharp heels echoed against the sleek tiles as she paced back and forth, her movements sharp and agitated. Her brow furrowed, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.“Mika, can you calm down?” Jaden's voice broke through her furious muttering. His tone was measured, though his eyes held a hint of apprehension. He knew her temper too well and braced himself for her outburst.“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down!” Mika snapped, her voice cutting through the room like a blade.Jaden sighed but stood firm. “You’re being unreasonable, Mika. I don’t know why you’re so consumed by anger right now. Just sit down and let your brain work this out.”Mika froze mid-step and turned toward him, her eyes blazing. “How dare you, Jaden? You’re supposed to be on my side, not hers—not Emily’s!” Her voice cracked with frustration as she spat Emily’s name like poison.Jaden held her gaze, his v

Chapter: Chapter 12-My PA“Good morning, Mom,” Emily greeted with a smile on her face.“Good morning, darling. Breakfast is ready,” her mother replied warmly.Emily inhaled deeply, taking in the aroma of the food wafting through the house. “Hmmm, it smells nice,” she said with delight.Both of them laughed. Mrs. Petals walked over to the dining table and took the seat next to Emily.
