The Star's Secret Husband 8. Secret Husbands
***Anastasia stood behind a thick curtain and surveyed the row of seats filled with reporters in front of her. The cameras' flashes flickered, as if to highlight every second that passed before she stepped forward. Today she was going to reveal something that had been a hot topic for a long time, that she shared a roof with a strange man and that there had been a lot of bad news about her lately.Lyra patted her shoulder gently. "It's time, Anastasia."Anastasia nodded and took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. "Alright, let's do this."Her steps were steady as she walked forward to the podium that had been set up in the center of the stage. The spotlight was immediately on her, and the thunderous sound of reporters' whispers echoed through the room. With her head held high, Anastasia stood before them, her eyes sharp and confident.After making sure everyone was paying attention to her, Anastasia began, "Thank you for being here today. There is something I want to share with you

"Honey, did you see Anastasia's press conference?" asked Elora.Leon shook his head, "I didn't because I was filming all day yesterday, but all the crew and staff talked about it and said that Anastasia did it alone, without her husband."Elora laughed softly and her heart felt satisfied. "And you know, dear. If the reporters didn't believe her and thought her press conference was just an attempt to gain public sympathy, but in fact everyone thinks she's a woman playing the victim and her career can't be saved.""She deserves it, the bad karma is already on her," Leon retorted.Elora laughed and hugged Leon, "Finally the plan of five years ago can be realized. We can reach the pinnacle of our careers. Everyone is supporting us!""Yes, I didn't expect my popularity to rise so much and my salary to increase many times over. If I hadn't followed your advice back then, I might have been just an extra actor. You're really smart, dear Elora," Leon said proudly."Because Anastasia doesn't de

***"Let go!"Leon just smiled triumphantly, looking down and up at Anastasia."Leon," Anastasia said coldly, looking at the man without showing the slightest emotion. "Let go of my hand."But Leon did not obey her order immediately. Instead, he tightened his grip, as if to savor the feeling of possessing Anastasia, if only for a moment. His gaze slid from her face to the rest of her body, and he swallowed, as if holding himself back."Anastasia," he said softly, but there was a mocking tone in his voice. "I can't help but notice how beautiful you are today. You're always charming."Anastasia just stared at him with a cold, piercing stare, without the slightest hint of a smile. "Let go of my hand, Leon," she repeated in a firmer tone.Leon paused for a moment, then chuckled before moving his face close to Anastasia's ear so she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "I can save your career, Anastasia. Rafael may have left you, but I have the power to change everything. You just have

***“Max, have you eaten?" Anastasia asked with a bland smile. The problems he was facing made it impossible for him to concentrate, especially since all the songs he had created from his heart were suddenly gone. Whose heart isn't broken?"I had dinner with my friend earlier," Maximilan replied. "Did you eat?""Hmm... I even skipped breakfast. I have a lot to do today," Anastasia replied. She lay down on the sofa and soon closed her eyes.Maximilian was stunned, he looked at Anastasia and smiled at her as she slept carelessly."Are you always like this? You even trust people so much that they betray you so easily, Anastasia," Maximilian muttered.Maximilian sat on a chair in the corner of the room and looked at Anastasia who was fast asleep on the sofa. Her face, usually full of strength and energy, now looked calm, almost innocent. Her eyes were closed tightly and her soft breathing made her small chest rise and fall in a soothing rhythm.The sight made Maximilian smile. There was s

***Anastasia..." Maximilian whispered.Anastasia was silent, she immediately smiled awkwardly, "I-I'm going to my room to sleep. I'm still tired from last night," she said as she ran to her room.Maximilian smiled, "When she's shy, her face looks like a tomato," he muttered.And Anastasia entered the room with steps that felt light, but her mind was filled with images of him. The events of earlier replayed in her mind, especially Max's piercing gaze and the softness of his touch as he kissed her injured finger. Her mind continued to wander, unable to ignore the feelings that had suddenly come out of nowhere.After closing the door to the room, Anastasia leaned against the door with her eyes closed. She took a deep breath and tried to gather her scattered thoughts. But Max's image continued to haunt her, refusing to go away. "He's so handsome," she muttered under her breath, as if the words just slipped out of her mouth.Anastasia gasped, her eyes wide with shock. What had he just sai

***"How did you know I was back?" asked Maximilian."I was also surprised when Madame Selene asked me to be honest and showed me the exact proof, a photograph of you and your companion, sir," Bryan replied.Maximilian sighed, he didn't want his mother to know about his plans, especially if she knew that he was the husband of Anastasia Noire. If Selene found out, it would be even worse."You didn't say anything about me and Anastasia, did you?" asked Maximilian."No, sir. I'm just saying you're trying to surprise me," Bryan replied."Don't let Mom and Dad know about my disguise," Maximilian said. "Tomorrow morning I will return home, if I'm not there I'm sure Mom will do something strange again, her detective mind is beyond reason and I don't want my plan to fail. You manage my time, Bryan. I want to be at Anastasia's apartment by sundown.""Yes, sir. I will arrange everything," Bryan replied.The call ended and Maximilian let out a long sigh. He finished his work and read all the hea

***"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

The Star's Secret Husband 98. Which woman are you touching?
***The evening was more special than usual. The laughter and excitement of the Athena Records staff filled the room as they celebrated the success of Anastasia's latest album, which would be released in two days. Music played softly in the background while warm lighting added to the festive atmosphere. However, in the midst of the fun, a sudden feeling of unease came over Anastasia.She sat in a corner of the room, holding a sparkling glass of red wine and staring out the window. The spring night in New York was filled with stars, but her mind was distracted. She was worried because Maximilian hadn't returned her messages and she hadn't heard from him until this evening.Anastasia tried to distract herself by chatting with some of the staff, but somehow the excitement felt hollow. Suddenly, the glass she was holding slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. The sound of the broken glass echoed through the room, attracting the attention of many people."Ouch!" she cried, seeing tha
The Star's Secret Husband 97. The Memories Came Back
***Maximilian stood in front of his sister's grave, the spring breeze blowing gently, carrying the scent of flowers blooming from the trees around him. His eyes were fixed on the gravestone with a name that was always painful to remember. Ten years had passed, but the wound was still fresh in his memory."Max..." A soft voice behind him made Maximilian jump. He turned to find Renata still standing there, her face filled with fear.He let out a long breath, holding back the emotions that were churning inside him. "Renata, why are you still here? You'd better leave. I don't have much time. I have a lot of work to do."Renata didn't move, tears began to run down her cheeks. She knelt down in front of Maximilian, ignoring the cold floor and the piercing wind. "I'm sorry, Max," her voice trembled with regret. "These ten years I have been tormented because you hated me. I can't live like this anymore... Please, forgive me."Maximilian was stunned. He looked at Renata crying in front of him
The Star's Secret Husband 96. Not Too Late, right?
***Anastasia walked slowly to a fancy restaurant in downtown New York. When she arrived, she saw a familiar face, Selene, waiting for her at one of the tables near a large window with a breathtaking view. Selene smiled warmly when she saw Anastasia approaching."Anastasia! You're here at last," Selene greeted, rising from her chair and hugging Anastasia."I'm not too late, am I?" asked Anastasia as she returned the hug."Ah, not at all. Mama just came early. Sit down, dear."Anastasia sat across from Selene and looked at the menu on the table. The waiter came quickly and they ordered lunch."Mama looks wonderful today," Anastasia complimented with a smile.Selene chuckled softly. "Oh, you always know how to flatter Mama. So how are you, Anastasia? I hear your new album is almost finished? I can't wait for it to come out."Anastasia smiled a little. "Yes, just a little bit longer. I can't wait either. Everything is going well, although there are some hurdles I have to go through. You
The Star's Secret Husband 95. Because of Them
***Maximilian sat in his study, surrounded by piles of files that needed to be completed. He had just returned from a long trip to New York, but his work was already waiting for him. Bryan, his assistant, stood in front of him with a tablet in his hand, ready to report on everything that had come up in his absence."Mr. Maximilian, here's a full report on projects in progress and some meetings that need to be rescheduled," Bryan said in a professional tone. He handed the tablet to Maximilian, who took it without taking his eyes off the laptop screen.Maximilian studied some of the data and presentations he had to review. His eyes carefully scanned the numbers, graphs and financial reports. "Good, reschedule these meetings in the near future, especially with the Tokyo investors. We can't delay too long," he says, handing the tablet back to Bryan."Of course, sir." Bryan quickly made notes. There was one report, however, that made Bryan hesitate for a moment before going into it. "Ther
The Star's Secret Husband 94. Who Are You?
***This night was very special for Anastasia. After spending a wonderful day with Maximilian in Finland, she had no idea that another surprise was waiting for her. Anastasia's eyes were covered with soft black silk as they arrived at the place Maximilian had promised. Her curiosity and pounding heart made her impatient to open her eyes and see what her husband had prepared."Are you ready?" Maximilian's voice rang softly in her ear. He clasped her hand warmly."Max, what exactly are you preparing? I'm getting curious," Anastasia smiled faintly behind her blindfold, unable to hide her growing curiosity.Maximilian chuckled and slowly removed Anastasia's blindfold. When her eyes opened, Anastasia was stunned, unable to believe what she saw. In front of her was a very romantic scene - a luxurious restaurant in a private setting, with candles beautifully arranged on a dining table decorated with red rose petals. Small sparkling lights added to the warm and intimate atmosphere. Soft music
The Star's Secret Husband 93. Blue Sky Finland
***The Finnish sky was a brilliant blue, and a cool spring breeze caressed Anastasia's face as she walked hand in hand with Maximilian through a garden filled with wildflowers. The trees were turning green and the smell of spring was refreshing. They both smiled, feeling as if the world belonged to them."This place is beautiful," Anastasia said as she looked at Maximilian. "I never thought I'd see Finland so beautiful, and it's my first time in the country, and with you."Maximilian looked at her tenderly. "Well, then I'll keep bringing you here because I know how much you love the serene scenery of nature," he replied, rubbing the back of his hand that still held Anastasia's. "And also... I want us to enjoy our time together without anyone interfering."Anastasia smiled, her smile so genuine and charming. "I really feel free here. Thank you for coming, Max."They walked slowly, savoring every second together. In the distance, the sound of the flowing river added to the peaceful atm
The Star's Secret Husband 92. Never Missed So Much
***Renata was still in the doctor's office, today the last patient was finished and she was getting ready to go home. The familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the room. The door opened slowly and Robert, her father, appeared in the doorway. Renata's smile immediately widened, although there was a slight hesitation in her heart."Dad, why did you come here?" Renata greeted him with a surprised tone, although she couldn't help but be curious. Usually Robert rarely visited her at work.Robert smiled slightly before answering, "I just wanted to see you, Renata. There's something I wanted to talk to you about. I spoke with Maximilian earlier."Hearing that name, Renata fell silent. Her smile slowly faded, her eyes narrowed slightly. "What did you talk to him about?" asked Renata in a slightly tense tone. She knew that whenever Maximilian's name was mentioned, her feelings were always chaotic.Robert took a deep breath, seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally answering, "It
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

***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
