On the other end of the phone, Xander was looking at a long string of texts from Abigail, ranting about him. Not only could he not get angry, but he also had to comfort her.Nathan: [Next time, you should take a picture of your boss and post it online.]Abigail: [Next time won't be as profitable unless I have a clear shot of Xander's face, or perhaps a candid photo of him and his wife in bed.]Xander was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Abigail's message. 'What on earth is this seemingly serious girl thinking about all day?'Abigail, like a typewriter on overdrive, was still typing away. Abigail: [Wait till the day I go to his house, secretly install a pinhole camera in his bathroom, film him undressed, or even do a live stream online. I'm sure to make a fortune.]Xander's face darkened. 'She actually wants to share a live stream of me undressed with netizens?'Abigail: [Hahaha, Nathan, don't you think I have a great business mind? Once I make money, you won't have to work s

This was reality—brutal, unyielding reality. Felix wished to reject it, yet was powerless to change it, unable to shield Abigail from the harm. That was the real core of Felix's concern.Abigail understood him too. "Fee, I'm an adult. I can protect myself. You're not obligated to take responsibility for my life, so don't blame yourself."Felix retorted, "I know you're strong. But being strong doesn't mean you don't need us."Abigail chuckled. "Our houses are next door. How do you suppose we could ever be able to separate?"Melody added more food to Felix's plate. "You worry too much, kid."The trio finished their dinner amidst their playful bickering. Afterward, Abigail spent some time drawing her comics. Just as she was about to head to bed, she received a message from Stella on WhatsApp.Stella: [Abigail, are you asleep yet?]Abigail: [Not yet.]As soon as she sent her message, her phone rang—it was Stella. Abigail picked up, hearing Stella's voice. "Abigail, can you talk rig

Abigail noticed the shift in Stella's mood. "Stella, if something's bothering you, share it with me. Don't bottle it up."Stella sighed deeply. "It's nothing specific, just sometimes I feel that being pretty isn't always a blessing, and life can seem so pointless..." She paused before continuing, "Abigail, do you know? Lately, I've been wondering if Chloe wasn't as beautiful, if she looked just like any other girl, would she still have been tormented by the local bully? If she wasn't targeted, then she wouldn't have been labeled as 'disgraced', her mother wouldn't have committed suicide over her, and she wouldn't have been cast out of her village..." Her voice broke into a laugh. "If all that never happened, her life after sixteen wouldn't have been so difficult. Not only was she unable to be with the man she loved, but she also nearly lost her life a few times."After listening patiently, Abigail softly replied, "Stella, you're right. If none of that had happened, Chloe wouldn't hav

Abigail: [You've arrived here through your own grit and determination, winning over audiences one small role at a time, until, through relentless effort, you've become the brightest starlet of today, an actress whose hands have grown weary from receiving countless awards. You're so exceptional. How can you possibly doubt yourself?]Abigail sent her message, and in less than two seconds Stella's response arrived. It was as if the original author had been eagerly awaited.Stella: [Finally, you decided to reply. I thought you were ignoring me.]Abigail sensed the fluttering dread and restlessness residing within Stella's words. Chloe Bay was a character that Abigail had poured her heart into. She had tears, she bled, and at times, the creation of her had nearly broken Abigail. 'Stella's depth of immersion into the role must have mirrored this,' thought Abigail. 'Her involvement is so profound. It appears she's finding it hard to extricate herself.'Abigail: [I've been swamped with wor

The flight from Florivera to Berrybrook was under three hours, touching down at Berrybrook a little past 2:00 a.m. The temperature difference between day and night was quite stark there. Abigail, who was scantily dressed, felt the chill seep into her skin the moment she disembarked. The cold shook her awake from her drowsiness. As she followed the crowd toward the airport exit, a familiar masculine voice called out from behind."Ms. Renee? Is that you, Ms. Renee?"Turning, Abigail saw the tall and smiling figure of Lucas, his assistant trailing behind him. Both men were looking at her. Abigail glanced up at the flight schedule displayed on the wall, just as a flight from Hayshiport had landed. "Mr. White, what a coincidence. What brings you here?""I'm visiting Stella on set." Lucas looked around, not finding the face he expected. "Why are you alone? Isn't Xander with you?"'Xander isn't with me?' That insinuation carried an undeniable innuendo, prompting Abigail to quickly clarify

Thankfully, it was the off-season, and Abigail managed to snag a fairly nice single room in a chain hotel for just over 300 dollars. By the time she had settled in, the dawn was creeping in. After tidying up a bit, Abigail surrendered to her weariness, falling into a deep slumber that lasted until nearly noon, completely throwing off her internal clock. As per her usual routine, she grabbed her phone the moment she woke. Two messages awaited her, both from Stella.Stella: [Abigail, Lucas told me you're visiting Berrybrook. If you're free at noon, shall we grab lunch together?]Stella: [Abigail, text me back when you're up. I won't call you in case I wake you up.]Abigail promptly texted back: [Sounds great! Where are you? I'll come to you now.]Stella quickly responded with an address. Upon checking it, Abigail found the restaurant to be just a quarter-mile away from her hotel, a mere few-minute walk. After a hurried morning routine, she set out for the restaurant.Upon arrival, s

For the past two months, Ron had been on a relentless hunt for Emma, scouring every place she might have possibly gone, yet not a trace was found. Emma had not merely disappeared from his life; she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. With each day that passed without a sign of her, the terror of losing Emma forever burrowed deeper into Ron's heart. He found himself unable to eat, unable to sleep. When sleep did manage to claim him, his dreams were haunted by Emma's visage, her eyes reproachful as though he had committed some unforgivable act against her. Time and again, he sought out Xander, pleading with him to reveal Emma's whereabouts. He vowed he would not intrude on her life, that he merely wished to see her from afar. Yet, no matter what he said, Xander remained unyielding.Ron knew that the problem lay with Abigail.

Ron gave Xander a long, meaningful look before finally departing into the night.After Ron left, Paxton returned to Xander's side. His head hung low, a picture of utter defeat. "Mr. Zane, it was my mistake this time. Punish me in any way you see fit."Xander turned his gaze to Paxton. From this angle, the scar on Paxton's face looked particularly gruesome, like a centipede crawling across his skin. "Does the wound on your face still hurt?"Paxton shook his head. "No, it doesn't."Xander instructed, "You can go now."Paxton blinked, looking up at him. "You won't punish me for my failure?"Xander turned his back, gazing out of the window. "Right now, I haven't announced Abigail's identity to the outside world, so my business adversaries who are eyeing me like tigers won't cause trouble for her. Once I disclose Abigail's identity, many of the dangers lurking around me will shift onto her."Berrybrook was not as bustling as Florivera, even in its downtown area, with just a few skysc
