The product launch event was conducted as a live broadcast, and nearly every major media outlet was present.

I was in charge of the opening, while the introduction of the new product was handled by the new successor.

After the launch, there was a dinner banquet. In previous years, I always attended alone. But this year, I brought a very young man, Chris Jones, with me.

He was Shirley's younger brother. He wanted to break into the entertainment industry, but his parents were against it.

So, he decided to go at it alone. Shirley was worried that he would face difficulties by himself and asked me to guide him.

As soon as he showed up, the entertainment media turned all their attention to him.

That night, he stole the spotlight. A bold reporter even asked if he was my boyfriend.

"No, he’s my good friend’s younger brother. I’m just helping him out," I explained.

But the media did not see it that way. The reports the next day hinted at something more.

    I used up the last bit of my strength, and my phone slipped from my hand. It felt like I heard someone calling for a doctor. My soul drifted away. I could not let go of this world or the people I cared about, so I returned to the house we once lived in.Before me, everything happening outside played out like a scene.I saw Shirley, completely devastated, unable to stop crying after hearing the news of my death. I saw Felix holding his phone, saying this was just another one of my tricks. "What kind of stunt is she pulling this time? Trying to tie me down again?" He blocked me and went back to filming as if nothing had happened.Shirley came to my house, took the contract between Felix and me, and headed to his film set. "I need to see Felix," she demanded. Felix's agent, Sally Perez, brought her to him while he was rehearsing his next scene. She had planned to interrupt but stopped for some reason, waiting until he finished filming before calling him over.W

    He did not even know how he made it back home. Someone called him, and when he looked at his phone, I could see it too. It was Zia, again. This time, Felix did not answer. Suddenly, as if something clicked in his mind, he stumbled out and ran straight to my company. He had been there so often that security did not stop him. He rushed to the CEO’s office. "Emma, I knew they were lying to me!" he shouted. The new CEO, startled by Felix's sudden outburst, looked up in confusion."Miss Quinn left the company a while ago. You didn’t know?" "Where is she?" Felix demanded. Just as the new CEO was about to respond, he received a notification."Miss Quinn’s ashes have been brought back."He immediately called security to escort Felix out. That night, the company publicly announced my death. When Shirley found out I had returned, she clung to my urn, refusing to let go.Felix finally realized that I was truly gone.I had told Shirley that I did not want a big ceremony aft

    "From now on, you’ve got us by your side," they reassured Chris. He had to clarify once again that we were truly just like siblings but many people still did not believe him.After Felix finished filming for the day, he scrolled through the videos. He could not stand it anymore. He was the one who had really been in a relationship with me."I’m the one who was Emma’s boyfriend! Plenty of people can vouch for it," he blurted out. Sally never expected this kind of outburst. Back when he was allowed to go public, he had not done it. Now, he was suddenly confessing to the world on his own. Felix even shared the contract I had signed with him. "Sure, we started because of the contract, but we really did fall in love afterward," he said. He admitted that he had been a coward, too afraid to go public about our relationship while I was alive.But the internet was not having it. People thought he was just trying to ride the wave of attention after my death. He tried desperatel

    "What’s going on with you now? Oh my God, why did I ever decide to take you on?" Sally muttered with frustration as they left the hospital. After being discharged, Felix headed straight for Zia’s house. Sally was worried that he might do something drastic so she followed closely behind.Zia had not seen Felix in a long time, not since his last hospital stay. Felix had been ignoring her ever since. Now that she was blacklisted, she needed someone to help her make a comeback. Without a doubt, Felix was the best candidate for her to latch onto.When Felix arrived at her house, Zia had dressed in what she thought was her most flattering outfit and applied her makeup meticulously."Felix, you finally came," she said eagerly.Felix ignored her and demanded her phone. He started scrolling through the chat history between Zia and me.With each message, his anger grew and his body was trembling with rage. Fighting back his disgust, he kept scrolling until he reached the photos. That wa

    He stayed in the bathroom for over three hours, scrubbing himself clean. When he finally came out and sat on the couch, he immediately jumped up again. "I’m still dirty. I can’t get her couch filthy," he muttered to himself.It seemed like he was reminded of the time I moved out. He mumbled that I left because he had tainted the whole house. He sniffed his body, convinced he still smelled bad, and went right back into the bathroom for another shower.When he emerged again, his skin was red and steaming as if he had scalded himself. He took out his sleeping pills, swallowed a few, and lay back down on the bed.The TV drama he had filmed with Zia was about to air, and the investors were asking them to promote it. But Felix was too drained, mentally and physically, to handle any of it. He was barely more than a shell of a person now, just going through the motions of life. When Zia heard about having to promote alongside Felix, she outright refused. She was terrified of him

    I left the hospital, holding the lab report the doctor had given me.He told me I did not have much time left. It was a hereditary illness, one without a cure.As I pulled out my phone, the latest news popped up on my screen. "Top star spotted holding hands with a rising actress late at night."I scrolled through the comments below, half-interested. Some fans supported it, but most were strongly opposed.When my driver arrived to pick me up, I put away the report. Once I finished handling things here, I planned to go abroad for treatment.I sent a message to Felix Johnson, asking where he was and if he had time to come home.I waited about half an hour with no response.I called him several times, but unsurprisingly, each one went straight to voicemail.Sighing, I set my phone down and rubbed my head.The driver tried to reassure me, saying that Mr. Johnson was probably busy and would return my call when he had a moment.I couldn’t help but scoff. "What a busy guy, huh? Eve

    I forcibly woke him up and asked what was going on with the hotel room key. At that point, he was already starting to get irritated. "What room key?" I showed him the key. He casually tossed it into the trash and said, without a care, "It’s probably from some actress during a game or something." He tried to pull me back into bed with him. But I grabbed my blanket and left the room.……By the time he woke up, it was already evening, and I had just returned from the office. I asked if we could finally have a serious talk. He sat down, motioning for me to go ahead. "Felix, I want to go public with our relationship. This secret romance is exhausting." It was like I had stepped on a landmine. He immediately exploded. "No way! This is the peak of my career. How could I go public with a relationship? If the fans find out, all my hard work will be for nothing!" I did not understand. He could not go public with me, yet he could have rumors swirling about him and o

    I had not come to see Felix in the first place, so after exchanging a few words, I was ready to leave. But just as I stepped out, I was stopped. "Was it you? You’re the one who made the director replace me as the lead actress, aren’t you?" I had not expected the director to move so quickly.Her voice was loud, and the other actors overheard, sticking their heads out to watch. "Wow, she crossed the wrong person this time. One word from her, and the lead actress is out." Even Felix could not believe it. He asked if it was true. I was done with the back and forth and admitted it outright that it was me. Zia was hysterical and asked why I did it. That role was something she had worked so hard to get. Not wanting to let the others hear, I gave a look to the crew nearby, and they cleared everyone out. The three of us went back into the room. Looking down at Zia, I told her this was the consequence of provoking me. Clearly, Felix had not known anything about it.

    After wrapping up filming, Felix came home and apologized to me for everything that had happened. "Just wait a little over a year, Emma. I promise I’ll go public with our relationship." I shook my head and said, "Do whatever you want."Later, someone messaged him, inviting him to hang out. He glanced at me, his eyes silently asking for permission. "Go ahead," I told him. What he did not tell me was that the gathering allowed plus-ones, but he did not mention it. I had not deleted Zia from my contacts, and when I woke up the next morning, I saw a video she had sent me. "Truth or Dare." Felix chose "Truth," and someone asked what his relationship with me was. "She’s just the girl next door." Everyone laughed and accused him of lying, telling him to take a drink. He pouted, annoyed, then answered again. "If it weren’t for using her as a stepping stone, who would bother with someone so dull and boring?" "Wow, you’re more ruthless than we thought. But th
