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?

Instead, she pushed past Mika, her footsteps brisk and purposeful. The tension between them crackled like a live wire, and Emily could feel Mika’s smirk lingering like a shadow.Reaching the elevator, Emily pressed the button repeatedly, silently willing the doors to open faster. She needed space—distance from Mika and the rage bubbling under her skin.But just as the doors began to close, Mika slipped inside. “Emily,” Mika chirped, her tone saccharine. “Aren’t you happy we’re working together now?”Emily’s icy glare could have frozen flames, but Mika remained unfazed.“Why so quiet?” Mika pressed on, her voice carrying an edge designed to provoke. “We’re colleagues now! We can even be friends again, don’t you think?”Emily’s knuckles whitened as she clenched her fists
Emily walked into the office with her usual poise, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect. Her strides were purposeful, her expression calm and composed as if she were unshakable. Rachel, her assistant, noticed her boss’s arrival immediately and hurried to meet her halfway. She took Emily’s bag with her customary professionalism, her demeanor efficient yet friendly.“Good morning, Emily,” Rachel greeted, matching her brisk pace down the hallway.“Morning, Rachel. What’s the emergency?” Emily asked without preamble. Her tone was sharp but not unkind, her mind already racing through potential crises.Rachel hesitated, her expression flickering with unease. “Umm…” she began, squinting slightly as though searching for the right words. “The CEO came in this morning and… he’s demanding to see you. Immediately.”Emily froze mid-step, her usually composed face betraying a flicker of surprise. She turned sharply to face Rachel, her brows knitting together.“You said what?” she ask
“Why can’t I go with you, Mika? Are you hiding something from me?” Jaden asked, his voice laced with jealousy. The emotion washed over him like a tidal wave, leaving no room for rational thought. He wasn’t comfortable with Mika going to see Mr. Richard alone.Mika rolled her eyes in irritation, her patience thinning. “You don’t have to go with me, Jaden. Mr. Richard said he wants to see me so we can discuss business properly,” she replied curtly, barely glancing in his direction.Jaden stepped closer, his jaw tightening. “Mika, I’m your manager, not just your boyfriend. I should go with you. I want to be part of—”“Part of what, Jaden?” Mika cut in sharply, her voice rising as anger flickered in her eyes. She squared her shoulders and faced him head-on. “You can’t be part of this plan. After all, Mr. Richard didn’t request your presence; he requested mine.”She snatched her bag from the chair and slung it over her shoulder, clearly signaling the end of the conversation.“I’ll let you
The next morning at the office, Emily walked in majestically, her poise and confidence drawing admiration from everyone around her. The click of her heels echoed through the hallway as her colleagues greeted her warmly, their smiles genuine and their words laced with congratulations. She acknowledged them with a polite smile, her eyes sparkling with quiet confidence.Her manager, Rachel, a young lady like Emily with a sharp sense of style and an even sharper mind, approached her with a smile. She took Emily's bag, a gesture of camaraderie rather than servitude, and leaned in to whisper, “Emily, I heard the authorities have summoned that young lady from last night.”Emily chuckled softly, her laugh as light as a breeze, but her eyes held a flicker of satisfaction. “Good to know,” she replied nonchalantly, walking towards her private office.Rachel followed her, carrying a steaming cup of coffee. As Emily settled into her leather chair, Rachel set the cup on her desk and stepped back, w
As Mika ramped up the theatrics of her dramatic display,Emily continued to ignore her every move. It wasn’t that she didn’t notice—she noticed everything—but she refused to feed into Mika’s antics. Instead, she maintained an air of calm indifference. Yet beneath her composed exterior, frustration was beginning to stir. Her jaw clenched, and her fingers fidgeted slightly, the only outward signs of her rising anger.Emily had finally had enough. She climbed down from the stage, her footsteps sharp and deliberate, ready to leave the event entirely. But before she could make her exit, a swarm of reporters blocked her path. Microphones and cameras were thrust into her face as questions came flying.“Miss Emily, what’s your relationship with Mika Donalds?” one reporter asked, his tone laced with curiosity.The crowd of onlookers leaned in closer, eager for Emily’s response. She opened her mouth, her emotions threatening to spill out, but before she could speak, Rachel stepped forward and ge
“Emily, Emily, Emily!” Her name echoed through the buzzing crowd, a symphony of admiration from excited voices. She strode elegantly along the crimson carpet, her poise commanding attention as cameras flashed in rapid succession. The world seemed to pause for her; every journalist, photographer, and fan vied for her attention. Emily Petals was no longer just another actress; she was a star—a beacon of grace and talent in the entertainment industry.“Emily, let’s take a picture,” her manager, Rachel, urged, pulling her gently to a waiting photographer.The cameras continued their relentless flashing as Emily struck a pose beside Rachel. Her smile was radiant, her gown shimmering under the dazzling lights. For a moment, the noise around them faded, replaced by the hum of admiration. When the photo session ended, the pair stepped off the photo ground to mingle with the crowd of celebrities gathered for the prestigious awards event.“You’re stunning, inside and out,” a deep voice purred f
The wind howled through the streets, carrying with it the foreboding scent of an approaching storm. Dark clouds loomed overhead, heavy and swollen, ready to burst at any moment. People moved briskly, some clutching their coats tightly against the chilly wind, others dashing for shelter. The city seemed alive with urgency, but Emily walked at a slower pace, lost in her thoughts.She had just finished her shift at the hospital, exhaustion settling in her bones, but her heart had guided her feet to a different destination. Jaden's house. Her boyfriend. Her first love. They had been together for three years, through thick and thin.Emily's love for Jaden was boundless. It was the kind of love that blinded reason, ignored the whispers of doubt, and held on even when the foundation began to crack. Her mother had warned her countless times. “Emily, you deserve better,” she’d said. Her best friend, Sophia, had been more direct: “Jaden doesn’t love you the way you love him. Open your eyes.”Bu
