***

Maximilian sat in his chair with tired eyes, his body feeling heavy as if he had just carried the weight of the world. He deliberately withdrew from the crowd, wanting to concentrate on his pile driving. After weeks of being involved in a big project, he was almost at the finish line. But the unbearable fatigue made him want to forget everything for a moment, until Bryan's report arrived on his desk.

He quickly opened the files, not wanting to linger. But when his eyes fell on the article about Anastasia, his breath seemed to stop. The article was full of vicious accusations and photos of Anastasia with Leon Hale in a hotel. His blood boiled, his jaw clenched and his fingers tensed. His emotions were a mixture of anger and confusion.

Maximilian immediately grabbed his cell phone and checked the incoming messages. There were several from Lyra, Anastasia's manager, and one of them even included a photo of Anastasia looking sad. Lyra wrote, "Anastasia is wondering why you haven't res

    ***Anastasia looked at her phone again and smiled because there was an incoming message from the man. "Max... "[Ana, I'm sorry. I'm late in answering your message because I haven't touched my phone for the last two days. I trust you and I don't believe those cheap gossips. You're coming home tomorrow, right? I'll wait for you, and if you're not tired, I'll take you to the beach again. It just so happens that my boss isn't here. I miss you.]A smile slowly spread over Anastasia's face. Her previously anxious heart began to calm. Max's short message made her feel even more relieved. She stared at her phone screen, reading the message over and over, as if trying to absorb every word."Max..." she murmured again with a smile. A warm feeling filled her heart. After all the drama and slander that had circulated, Max was still by her side. That was more than enough. Feeling much better now, Anastasia turned off the lights in the hotel room and finally fell asleep with an unbelievably comfo

    ***After finishing her shower and changing her clothes, Anastasia came out of the bathroom with her hair still a little wet. She went into the living room and found Maximilian standing by the window looking out. Without thinking, Anastasia approached him and innocently hugged him from behind.Maximilian was stunned for a moment, but then a small smile appeared on his face. His heart warmed. Anastasia rarely showed affection like that, and he hadn't expected the hug to be so comforting. She closed her eyes, savoring the moment, feeling the warmth of Anastasia's body against hers."How do you feel now?" Maximilian asked softly, his voice deep but caring.Anastasia sighed lightly, closing her eyes for a moment in the embrace before answering, "I'm a little sad... But when I think of you and the people who truly support me, that feeling turns to happiness."Maximilian smiled at her reply. Gently, he released Anastasia's embrace and turned her around, looking lovingly into her face. He to

Surrender yourself without hesitation, and I will place the whole world at your feet."-MAXIMILIAN KINGSLEY -***That morning, the soft sunlight began to creep in through the bedroom window. Anastasia awoke slowly, her eyelids heavy. When she came to, her body ached in every part. There was a pain in her core that clearly signaled what had happened the night before. She moved her body slowly and her face immediately turned red as memories of that night filled her mind. Last night had been her first night with Maximilian.She turned her head to the side and there was Maximilian, awake and looking at her with a gentle smile. The man's gaze was so deep, filled with warmth and unspoken feelings.

    ***Maximilian sat in his office, his hands moving quickly over the keyboard as he finished the last of his work for the day. He was in a very good mood today, perhaps the best he had been in a long time. His mind kept returning to the night he had just spent - the night Anastasia had finally given him everything. Her soft touch, every breath that escaped her lips, drove Maximilian crazy. Something inside him changed, as if the world that had been gray had now become colorful.He took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on his work again. But the image of Anastasia continued to haunt his mind. With a faint smile on his lips, he reached for his phone and typed a message to Bryan. The message was short, but full of meaning:"Leak the Hale family's crimes. Don't forget the photo of Leon with a married woman at the club. Let it all come out. I want them to feel what they have done to Anastasia. Their retribution will be painful."After sending the message, Maximilian leaned back in his

    ***"Renata... ""Ah, it turns out you can still say my name," Renata said with a smile.Renata stepped closer, the dazzling look in her eyes as if she wanted to attract Maximilian's attention with every move. Gently, she stretched out her hand to embrace the man in front of her. But before she could touch him, Maximilian shook his head firmly and took a step back."I still cannot carelessly come into contact with a strange woman," Maximilian said flatly, a faint smile on his face, but his eyes remained sharp.Renata was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face slowly fading, replaced by shock. But just as quickly, she covered her surprise with a faint smile that was almost a grin."Ah, I thought you were cured, Max," Renata said softly, her eyes taking in every detail of the man before her. "Apparently you're still allergic."Maximilian just nodded slowly, keeping a calm and closed demeanor. "We'd better go downstairs now. Our families are waiting. And it seems unethical for a res

    ***Dinner at the Kingsley residence was always lively. Laughter and conversation from both families filled the large dining room. Everyone seemed to enjoy the warm atmosphere, except for one person: Maximilian. He sat at the end of the table, smiling occasionally, but his thoughts were far away. The noise was beginning to make him uncomfortable. Wordlessly, he stood up and walked quietly around the room, apologizing."Sorry, I need to rest for a while," he told the people around him, including his mother, Selene, who looked at him questioningly but didn't hold back.Renata gave him a disappointed look, but she couldn't help it.Maximilian walked through the large hallway of the house, towards the Kingsley library - a place where he could calm his mind. He always felt comfortable there, among the rows of thick, decades-old books. Entering the room, she took a deep breath and let the silence envelop her. She stood in front of the bookshelf, her finger tracing the spine of the books bef

    ***Anastasia looked at her reflection with mixed feelings. She bit her lip lightly, checking for signs of redness scattered across her neck and shoulders. Those marks were clear evidence of last night - Maximilian never hid his feelings. Last night, the man had been completely out of control, and now Anastasia let out a long sigh, trying to figure out how to hide it all.Today she had an important appointment at the recording studio, and the trace of redness on her neck was very obvious. The New York summer was at its peak and covering her neck with a scarf was definitely out of the question. Anastasia sighed again, this time a little louder.From behind the bathroom door came Maximilian, a towel wrapped around his waist. "Why do you keep looking in the mirror, Ana?" he asked, looking at Anastasia with a smile on his lips.Anastasia gave Maximilian an annoyed look, "Didn't I tell you I have to go to the recording studio today? And there's also a dinner tonight with some of the employ

    ***Anastasia came out of the recording room with a smile that could not be hidden. The atmosphere in the studio was light after a recording session that went perfectly. The songs were recorded in just one take, something that rarely happens. The studio staff applauded and praised her."Anastasia, amazing! You were really perfect today," praised one of the sound engineers with a big smile."Thank you," Anastasia replied in a happy voice. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.Lyra, standing next to Anastasia, also smiled proudly. However, her eyes narrowed as she noticed something that made her wonder."Uh, Ana..." Lyra spoke suddenly with a curious look on her face. "Why is there a red mark on your neck?"Suddenly, everyone in the studio turned to Anastasia. The atmosphere that had been full of laughter was suddenly silent and all eyes were now focused on Anastasia's neck.Anastasia's eyes widened, her hand reflexively touching her neck, feeling the reddish ma

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

    ***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

Anastasia, who was still busy preparing for her new album, could not refuse Selene Kingsley's invitation. Selene had come personally to ask her to attend, and Anastasia appreciated the direct invitation from the woman who has been so supportive of her. Despite her busy schedule, Anastasia made time to attend.When Anastasia arrived, she immediately became the center of attention. Dressed in an elegant black gown that hugged her body perfectly, Anastasia looked like a star that had descended to earth.

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

    ***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

    ***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
