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. Hence, he had his men watch her incessantly, waiting for a moment when she was unprotected so he could abduct her and force Xander to hand over Emma

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

Dr. Sander understood, but any mother would naturally worry about her son. The thought of her son living on the edge daily made her heart hang in mid-air, an unsettling mix of unease and dread. Tenderly, she traced the ghastly scar that marred Paxton's face. "You've had it tough, my son..." That scar was a brutal reminder of his fierce loyalty to Xander, an injury obtained during a desperate battle a few years ago. Not just his face, but his body bore numerous such marks. That time, their lives had hung by a thread in Alvonia, under the guns of brutal thugs.Gently removing her hand, Paxton comforted her. "Don't cry, Mom. I no longer feel the pain."Wiping her tears, Dr. Sander drew a deep breath. "You're right. We chose this path and must remain loyal to our master, even at the cost of our lives." Paxton nodded. Dr. Sander continued, "I believe Xander's protection of Abigail goes beyond her status as his wife. He must care for her deeply. You must be even more vigilant about Abigail

Of all the men present, only Xander managed to utter a sentiment that struck a chord with Abigail, earning him a silent mental applause.Lucas chuckled. "Xander, do you really think you're in any position to talk about marital harmony? Maybe you should sort out your own wife first."Xander disregarded him, turning his attention back to Abigail."Good afternoon, Mr. Zane," Abigail greeted with a courtesy that felt formal, making the lines of Xander's face tighten in apparent disapproval. But she was too far away to notice.Lucas, the eternal showman, pulled Stella closer to him, digging his fingers slightly into her waist, before burying his face in the crook of her neck for a whiff. "I'm making it clear; Stella isn't taking a single step away from me."Stella tried to draw back, but Lucas's firm grip held her in place. "Lucas, have some shame. We're being watched," she muttered under her breath, but her plea fell on deaf ears as Lucas continued to nuzzle her ear. "Honey, it's been

Xander turned his head. His fierce, gloomy eyes were filled with warnings when he stared at Ron."Xander, I was just casually chatting with Abigail. Why are you so nervous?" Ron slowly pressed the cigarette butt on the ashtray. He said with a half-smile, "Abigail, I want to talk to you alone for a while after the meal. Are you okay with that?"No matter what Ron was planning to do, Abigail never thought of backing down. Moreover, she wanted to try her best to help Emma. "Sure."Abigail agreed but not Xander. He was still staring at Ron with his terrifying gaze as he said to Abigail, "Abigail, accompany me to see a project after the meal.""Okay." To Abigail, work was always the priority. She then said, "Mr. Hagrid, why don't we chat at night after I'm done with my work in the afternoon?""You might not be free at night either." Ron lit up another cigarette. He smiled as he said, "Xander, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll tell Abigail your secret? Or are you afraid t
