The Star's Secret Husband 14. The same
***"Enough, Ma. I just got here and you're asking me to get acquainted with a woman? Don't you miss me?" asked Maximilian."I miss you very much, my dear. I'm just lonely here. I only talk to your father and my plants. You naughty boy! Ten years away, never to return. Even when you came to this country, you didn't tell me. So, yes... I think it must be because of a woman. A man in love can lose control," Selene replied."I came back because of company business, that's all. Didn't Papa ask me to come because he wanted to retire and enjoy his old age with Mama?"Selene nodded, "And our old age will be accompanied by the amazingly adorable grandchildren of your children. Don't you want to give Mom that gift?""I just got home, Ma. Can you not talk about anything? I'm very hungry," Maximilian said.Selene nodded and smiled at her only son, "I prepared everything. I cooked your favorite meal. Let's eat," she said excitedly.***Maximilian finished his meal without saying much, but his min

***"Do you think I would give an honorable family name to someone who brings shame to the family image?" asked Rhett.Anastasia smiled, "Yes, Mr. Rhett. From this moment on, my name is no longer Anastasia Noire!"Rhett was silent, he looked at his daughter and left without saying much.Anastasia watched her father leave with mixed feelings. Rhett loved Aria and Elora more, even all of Rhett's top priorities were just those two. Meanwhile, she was only seen as a showpiece in this house."Ana, you... "Anastasia smiled, "I'm fine, Lyra. In fact, I'm relieved because if there's a problem, I don't have to think about that big name. I'm free now and I'll just start my name with Anastasia.""I know you will never be weak, Ana. I will always support you and you know that I admire your voice and your talent," Lyra said encouragingly."I already know, and I will prove that I am worthy of your admiration," Anastasia smiled back. Then she sighed, "I'm going to start writing new songs for my alb

***"Don't go..." Anastasia's voice sounded hoarse, like someone just waking from a long dream. "I'm... alone."Maximilian sighed softly, suppressing the rushing in his chest. "I'm not going far," he replied quietly, even though his heart was beating wildly. "I'm just going out for a while. You need to rest."Anastasia, still semi-conscious, paid no attention to Maximilian's words. Instead, he pulled her hand tighter, forcing her to sit back down on the edge of the bed. With her eyes almost closed, she whispered, "Why do you have to be so beautiful?"The sentence made Maximilian jump. His chest rumbled violently. He swallowed, feeling the sudden heat on his face. "Wh-What?" Maximilian found it strange to hear such a compliment, especially from Anastasia, and especially under these circumstances.Anastasia did not answer Maximilian's question. Her eyes closed again, but a faint smile graced her face. "You know," she murmured again in a low voice, "I always feel lonely. But when you're

***When Anastasia came out of the bathroom, she looked into the mirror in front of her. The image of her pale and tired looking face seemed to reflect the chaotic feeling inside her. She closed her eyes, trying to get rid of the nervousness that had enveloped her body since the morning.She glanced at the door of her room. After making sure there were no signs of life outside, she opened the door slowly and cautiously. It was like conducting a secret operation; every move was carefully calculated to avoid making a sound. She didn't want to see Maximilian this morning, not after what happened last night.When the door opened a little wider, Anastasia held her breath and peered out. The hallway was deserted. She heard the sound of footsteps from outside, fading away - Maximilian was gone. A feeling of relief washed over her and she unconsciously took a deep breath."Thank God..." she murmured softly, then carefully closed the door.Anastasia walked to the kitchen, hoping to distract he

***“Anya... "Anya was surprised by Anastasia's arrival, she stood and looked at Anastasia awkwardly. "Anastasia, k-you, why did you come here?"Anastasia smiled flatly, "I sent you a message and you didn't answer. I thought you were sick, I was worried and came here to see how you were doing."And suddenly her eyes went straight to Elora, who was sitting haughtily across the table, looking at her with a triumphant smile that always made Anastasia's blood boil. Next to Elora, Anya, the best friend she had come to think of as a sister, sat with a flat expression, avoiding Anastasia's gaze."Elora, you're actually here," Anastasia greeted in a firm tone. "Anya, am I disturbing you?"Elora replied immediately without giving Anya a chance to speak. "Oh, Anastasia, you came just in time. Anya and I were just discussing our duet that will be released next week. She's going to be on my new album."Elora's smile widened in satisfaction. She glanced at Anya, as if giving a veiled signal that

***"Are you ready?" asked Maximilian.Anastasia nodded slowly, as if hypnotized by Maximilian's charm. The man's eyes were so calm, yet contained something that made it difficult for Anastasia to resist.Maximilian took the helmet in his hand, then gently placed it on Anastasia's head. His touch was careful, treating Anastasia as if she were something precious and fragile. Anastasia felt uncomfortable, but said nothing. Just a small nod in response to Maximilian's sweet treatment."Are you ready?" Maximilian asked as he made sure the helmet strap was securely fastened under her chin.Anastasia nodded again, trying to hide her nervousness. "Yes," she replied simply.They walked over to Maximilian's big motorcycle, a black sports bike that glistened under the streetlights. Maximilian got on first, then motioned for Anastasia to sit behind him. Anastasia hesitated for a moment, but eventually she cautiously got on the bike.At first, Anastasia felt uncomfortable. She sat up straight wit

***"What does that mean?" asked Anastasia, confused."We can get to know each other because we'll probably see each other all the time," Maximilian replied."You're right. We're married, it would be strange if we didn't know each other so well," Anastasia said."You don't mind having a husband like me?""You're human, right?"Maximilian nodded. "How old are you?" he asked."Twenty years old," Anastasia replied innocently."You're so young, but you're so popular. How does it feel to be so popular at twenty?"Anastasia was silent for a moment, trying to absorb the question. A question that was actually very simple, but carried a lot of memories and pent-up emotions. She sighed and turned her eyes to Maximilian."It feels... lonely," she answered in a soft but firm voice. "Everyone loves you, but not for you. They love you because you're a top singer, a star at the height of your career. Your every move is watched, guarded like a precious diamond. But when you start to fall... when your

***"Anastasia..." Maximilian's voice was hoarse, almost a whisper, before his lips finally touched hers.The kiss was soft, yet full of warmth. It was as if time stood still, just the two of them in the still night. Anastasia couldn't think. Her hand came up and touched Maximilian's chest, which was now so close to her. She could feel the man's heart beating as fast as her own.Maximilian deepened the kiss, holding Anastasia's face with both hands to make sure she didn't go anywhere. The kiss was slow but intense, as if he wanted to convey all the feelings that had been hidden.Anastasia finally closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the moment. She didn't understand why her common sense wasn't working this time. The man had hypnotized her.Maximilian looked at Anastasia, who was still stunned after their long kiss. Her face was flushed and her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out. Anastasia stood stiffly, her eyes still glued to the ma

The Star's Secret Husband 91. Like No Ordinary Man
***Maximilian sat behind his desk and looked at the files piled in front of him. His thoughts and feelings were in turmoil due to the problem that someone had attacked him that night and that person could be dangerous if he knew that he and Anastasia were married. He let out a long sigh and tried to concentrate on his work. However, a gentle knock on the door of his room stopped him in his tracks. He looked up and was surprised to see Robert standing in the doorway."Uncle Robert?" Maximilian frowned, it was rare for his uncle to enter his room unannounced. "Can I help you?" He invited his uncle to take a seat.Robert smiled as he entered. "No need to be so formal, Max," he said as he sat down on the sofa. "I just want to talk to you casually."Maximilian felt a wave of anxiety that he couldn't ignore. He knew that if Robert had come without business, the conversation would have been more personal."So," Robert began after a moment of silence, "I hear you have a girlfriend?"Maximili
The Star's Secret Husband 90. Take Care of Yourself
***That evening, Robert invited Shayne and Selene, Maximilian's parents, over for dinner. At the long table, decorated with small candles and delicious food, the conversation flowed. But one question stuck in Robert's mind."Why didn't Maximilian come with you?" asked Robert as he looked at Shayne and then at Selene sitting next to him.Shayne chuckled, "Max is too busy with his own affairs. He often forgets his parents," she replied with a broad smile, although there was a slight note of disappointment in her voice.Robert smiled, then leaned back in his chair and looked at his daughter, Renata, who sat gracefully at the side of the table. "When you have grandchildren, you won't feel lonely. If Max is too busy, at least you can play with your grandchildren," he said, trying to break the ice with a little humor.Shayne and Selene exchanged glances and nodded, "We've been wanting grandchildren for a while," Selene replied quietly, brushing back her long hair. "But you know how Maximil

***Selene confidently opened the door to the CEO's office. Maximilian's office was quiet as his son was having a serious conversation with Bryan at his desk. The room was filled with natural light from the large windows.Bryan said goodbye as soon as their conversation was over, nodding respectfully to Selene before leaving the room. Selene looked at Maximilian with the gaze of a mother who missed her son but understood the burden he carried."I'm sorry, Ma," Maximilian said as he came over and gave Selene a loving hug. "I haven't had a chance to see Mama and Papa lately."Selene smiled warmly and gently rubbed Maximilian's back. "Mama and Papa understand, Max. We know you've been busy. But I heard from Bryan that you're going abroad the day after tomorrow?"Maximilian released their embrace and nodded slowly. "Yes, I have some business in Finland this weekend.""Finland, huh?" Selene looked at Maximilian for a moment, then smiled slightly. "Can you come with me? It's been a while si
The Star's Secret Husband 88. Wish for Honeymoon
***Selene sat on the cozy couch in the living room, straightening up as she looked at Shayne, her husband, who seemed to be deep in thought. They had just finished dinner, but their conversation was more focused on what was going on with Maximilian, their perpetually reclusive son."Shayne, I object," Selene began, her voice calm but firm. "I see you giving Robert and Renata hope. They are both desperate for a relationship, but Maximilian already has a woman of his choice."Shayne shook her head, frustration written all over her face. "Darling, I can only see how suitable Renata is to be our daughter-in-law. She's beautiful, intelligent, and very kind. She can make Maximilian happy, and Maximilian and Renata have known each other since childhood.""Don't overdo it, Shayne," Selene replied, her voice beginning to rise. "Don't let Maximilian leave again. It's enough for me to lose Isabelle. Max... he's still hurting from the loss of his sister. He is still healing, and I hope you will
The Star's Secret Husband 87. Will You Stand by Me?
***Maximilian is on edge when Bryan tells him that Anastasia will be attending his family's charity event. The news immediately makes his blood boil and the fears that have been haunting him return. Selene, his mother, is so close to Anastasia and it's very likely that Selene will show Anastasia her old photos. What Maximilian fears most is that Anastasia will find out his true identity from someone else. That would ruin all his plans to tell her about his past."I have to go to the apartment," Maximilian muttered and rubbed his face roughly. He didn't want to take any more risks by showing up at the charity event where too many people knew him. He didn't want Anastasia to find out who he really was under inappropriate circumstances.***Time seemed to pass slowly for Maximilian as he waited in Anastasia's apartment. His thoughts were mixed between worry and a deepening sense of longing. Every second felt so slow, as if the world had stopped spinning as he thought about the worst tha

She's stunning every time she shows up," another replied.Selene immediately greeted Anastasia with a broad smile as she entered the room. "Anastasia! I'm so glad you could come!"

***"My husband," Anastasia whispered in a tone that was so soft yet seductive. "You came at the right time."Without warning, Anastasia's weak hands suddenly moved to grasp Maximilian's shirt collar. Pulling the man closer, her fingers deftly unbuttoned Maximilian's shirt one button at a time. Maximilian's gaze changed instantly, a mixture of surprise and interest. But he said nothing, just looked at Anastasia, who was now dancing with her own emotions."Darling..." Maximilian tried to stop Anastasia's movements, but she ignored him. Her half-closed eyes stared at Maximilian with a desire she could not hide. Then, slowly but surely, Anastasia stood on tiptoe and brought her face closer to Maximilian's lips.She kissed Maximilian's lips gently, and a warm glow immediately spread through her body. The kiss began slowly, as if she wanted to confirm that the man before her was indeed her husband, the one she had chosen to love.Maximilian was momentarily surprised, but his body responded
The Star's Secret Husband 84. Arrive in Time
***Anastasia sat on the balcony of her apartment, gazing up at the late night sky. The cold night breeze hit her skin, but the chill was nothing compared to the turmoil in her heart. The glass of wine in her hand was nearly empty, and the bottle on the table next to her was nearly gone. Anastasia didn't usually drink, let alone wine. She knew she was a bad drinker, but tonight she didn't care. Her mind was too full and she just wanted to drown out the pain that wouldn't go away.He looked up at the empty black sky, only a few stars were faintly visible. In the silence of the night, her mind continued to wrestle with the images of the past that continued to haunt her. The pain, the betrayal, the humiliation never seemed to disappear from her life. Especially when her mother's name was mentioned, the wound would reopen as if it were yesterday."Mama..." she murmured softly, her voice almost drowned out by the night wind. Her eyes began to tear, but she held them back. She didn't want t
The Star's Secret Husband 83. Mine Only
***Maximilian sat in a luxurious leather seat in his private jet. The gentle breeze from the plane's vents created a serene atmosphere in the cabin. Meanwhile, on the screen of the tablet in his hand, he watched a video of Anastasia, who had just won the Best Female Vocalist award. He couldn't take his eyes off her radiant face on the stage.His eyes were fixed as he listened to Anastasia's grateful words. And then, at the end of her speech, when Anastasia mentioned "husband" in front of thousands of spectators, Maximilian smiled faintly. That one word, that one word that made the crowd go wild, made him feel an unbearable sense of pride. He played the video over and over again, making sure that every word that came out of Anastasia's mouth sounded perfect in his ears."Husband... Yes, that's how it should be," Maximilian murmured in a low voice. He adjusted the collar of his shirt and loosened his tie a little, feeling more comfortable in his solitude on this plane.Anastasia's vide
