She blinked, slightly confused but nodded. As the door clicked shut behind them, she was suddenly very aware of the space between them. Julian stood just a little too close, his posture tense, his eyes searching hers. There was something different in his stare, something that wasn’t just anger or disappointment.

Something more personal.

“You’ve been awfully distracted today,” he said, his voice tight with an emotion Selena couldn’t quite place. “Were you paying attention during that meeting at all?”

Selena opened her mouth to reply, but he cut her off, his gaze flitting to the door where the producer had just exited.

“You were practically glued to him,” Julian said, his words sharp, tinged with something unspoken. “Is he your type? The young, handsome, confident type?”

Her eyes widened in surprise. She tried to shake her head, to deny it, but Julian didn’t let her. He stepped closer, his breath warm against her skin, and for the first time, she felt a hint of vulnerability from

    Selena's lips still tingling from the forceful kiss he had planted on her. She was furious—livid, actually. She could feel her cheeks burning with a mix of anger and embarrassment.“That devil!” she muttered under her breath as she marched down the hallway. “Who does he think he is? Playing with my face, throwing his absurd possessiveness at me, and then—then kissing me like he owns me? Ugh!”She clutched her chest dramatically as if she could physically pull the frustration out. “I’m not some item he can lay claim to!” she seethed. “And why—why does my heart still race like an idiot? Stupid, traitorous body!” She kicked at the air, muttering a string of curses that would have made a sailor blush.As she made her way to the canteen to grab a coffee and calm herself down, she ran into a group of female employees. The "mean girls," as Selena had dubbed them internally, were waiting for her like hyenas circling their prey.“Oh, look, it’s the princess herself,” said Ashley, the unoffici

    Selena gritted her teeth as she carried yet another heavy box toward the storage room, her arms trembling under the weight. “This is the last one,” she muttered to herself, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I swear, if I drop dead, someone better carve on my tombstone: *Here lies Selena Frost, buried under the mountain of pettiness known as corporate life.*” Her footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway. Most of the employees had already left, leaving her alone to finish the so-called “important” task. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she pushed the door to the storage room open with her foot, muttering, “Just you wait, Ashley. One day, karma’s going to—” “Talking to yourself again, Ms. Frost?” Selena froze mid-step, nearly dropping the box.She turned to see Julian leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed and a maddening smirk plastered across his face. His dark eyes glinted with amusement, and his tailored suit made him look annoyingly perfect even at the end of the workda

    Selena’s heart raced as Julian’s hand clamped over her mouth, pulling her behind a towering shelf filled with dusty files and old office supplies. The dimly lit storage room suddenly felt claustrophobic, their bodies pressed close together. Julian’s scent—a mix of cedarwood and something distinctly him—filled her senses, making her pulse quicken.“Who left the storage room open again?” a guard’s voice grumbled from outside.Selena stiffened, her eyes wide as she looked at Julian. His expression was calm, but his dark eyes glinted with amusement.“Probably those careless employees,” the guard continued, his voice fading as he muttered to himself. Then came the unmistakable click of a lock.The sound echoed like a death knell in the silent room. Selena froze, her gaze snapping to Julian, whose hand was still over her mouth. He seemed entirely unbothered, his smirk growing as his eyes locked onto hers.A wave of heat rushed through her, her cheeks burning. She pushed his hand away, her v

    Selena shifted uncomfortably on the cold floor of the storage room, stealing a glance at Julian. To her surprise, he was already looking at her, his dark, intense gaze catching her off guard.Her cheeks warmed, and she quickly looked away, pretending to adjust the hem of her skirt. What was wrong with this man? His mood swings were more erratic than anything she had ever encountered. One minute he was teasing her, and the next he was dead serious. He was nothing like the cold, menacing man she had first met—threatening her with that wicked grin and his cutting words. But despite the occasional glimpses of softness, he was still the same arrogant, cunning jerk she couldn’t figure out. Clearing her throat, she finally spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. “Shouldn’t you call someone? It’s getting late.” To her surprise, he didn’t tease her this time. Instead, he nodded, pulling out his phone. “Fine.” Selena blinked, thrown by his lack of resistance. Was he... cooperating?

    Few days later -Selena tossed her phone on the couch and sank into it, frustration bubbling inside her. Over the past few days, her phone had been blowing up with calls from various media companies, all asking for interviews or suggesting projects based on her "retirement." She didn’t understand why they were so persistent or where they had even gotten her number. Celebrity contact details were guarded like state secrets, and she had been out of the spotlight long enough to fade from the public eye—or so she thought.Grabbing her tablet, she scrolled through social media and news sites, her blood boiling as she stumbled upon several articles speculating about her so-called retirement. “The Decline of a Star: Selena Frost’s Silent Exit from the Industry”“Once a Queen, Now a Has-Been?

    The dining room hummed with the soft clinking of dishes as Selena stacked her plate atop her sister’s. The faint aroma of roasted chicken and garlic still lingered in the air. Her father leaned back in his chair, the lines on his face softened with the warmth of family and a lingering hope. “Selena,” he said, his voice steady but tinged with concern, “I’m still looking for someone who can help you. Don’t worry; we’ll figure it out.” Samantha stood beside him, nodding as she dried her hands with a dish towel. “He’s right. You’re not alone in this. Take care of yourself, okay?” Selena’s throat tightened as she placed the last dish in the sink. She turned to face them, her eyes glistening but her lips curving into a grateful smile. “I know. Thank you—both of you.” Samantha crossed the room first, pulling Selena into a firm hug. “You’ve got this. Just… call me if you need anything, even if it’s something small.” “I will,” Selena whispered, squeezing her back before stepping to

    Julian lounged on the couch in the living room, the soft glow of his phone illuminating his face. He stared at the photos his hired man had sent—Selena sitting at a dinner table with her family. His lips curled into a faint smirk as he scrolled through them. "So, that's it? A family dinner," he muttered to himself. "Here I thought she was off having some scandalous affair." He tossed his phone onto the coffee table and leaned back, rubbing his temple. The relief was unexpected. For reasons he couldn’t quite put into words, the thought of her meeting someone secretly had left a sour taste in his mouth. When the door opened, Julian's eyes flicked up to see Selena walking in. She looked tired, pulling off her hat and sunglasses as she kicked off her shoes at the entrance. She stopped mid-step when her gaze met his, her body tensing like a deer caught in headlights. “What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice hesitant. Julian raised a brow and crossed his arms.

    Monday - Julian sat at his desk, the weight of the morning’s workload spread out before him. His pen moved swiftly across the paper, signing document after document. The room was silent save for the faint scratching of his pen and the soft hum of the air conditioning. Clara entered quietly, clutching a folder tightly to her chest. Her usually composed demeanor was tinged with unease, and Julian immediately noticed.“Speak,” Julian said without looking up, his voice sharp yet calm.Clara cleared her throat. “Sir, I wanted to report something... about Selena.”Julian’s pen froze mid-signature. He glanced up at Clara, his sharp gaze immediately making her hesitate.“She’s been doing well,” Clara continued quickly, her tone betraying her nervousness. “She’s catching on to her tasks fast, and she hasn’t caused any major issues since you assigned me to oversee her work.”Julian raised a brow, leaning back in his chair. “And yet, you’re here.

    Mornings in Berlin were crisp and quiet. The golden sun spilled through the windows of Selena’s small but cozy apartment, casting long shadows on the wooden floors. She lay in bed for a moment, staring at the ceiling, willing herself to get up. Her body ached from the previous day’s rehearsals, but there was no time to rest. She had practice in an hour, and she couldn’t afford to be late.She pulled herself up and dragged her tired body to the bathroom. As she brushed her teeth, she caught her reflection in the mirror—her once lively eyes now held a tired sadness. No matter how many months passed, she still found herself thinking about Julian. Some days were better than others, but on mornings like this, when she woke up feeling hollow, it was hard to shake off the past.She shook her head and forced herself to focus. New life. New dreams. That was why she was here.After a quick breakfast of toast and coffee, she grabbed her bag and left for practice. The walk to the opera house was

    TWO MONTHS LATER -The grand rehearsal hall of the Berlin Opera House echoed with the resonant notes of a soprano practicing her scales. Selena stood at the center, her voice soaring as she perfected the aria she had spent weeks rehearsing. She had come to Berlin with one goal in mind—Broadway. She wanted to prove that she was more than just an actress. That she could stand on a stage and hold an audience captive with nothing but the power of her voice.But reality was harsher than she had expected.Despite her talent, she had been rejected for the role of prima donna three times. The first time, the director told her she lacked the "seasoned control" of an experienced opera singer. The second time, she was told that while she had an impressive voice, she didn't have the presence needed to command an entire stage. The third time, the rejection letter simply said: "Not yet."She had cried in her room that night, wondering if she had made the right choice leaving everything behind. But

    Julian sat in his private office, staring blankly at the city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The glass of whiskey in his hand remained untouched, the ice melting slowly, much like the rigid walls of hatred he had built around himself. His heart was in turmoil, twisting with a kind of pain he hadn’t felt in years. The weight of his mistakes pressed down on him, suffocating and relentless. Selena was gone.And now, the truth was staring him in the face, mocking him for his blindness.A knock on the door brought him back to the present. One of his most trusted men, Mason, entered, his expression grave. “Sir, we’ve completed the investigation.”Julian turned, his cold eyes locking onto the man. “Tell me everything.”Mason placed a file on the table. “The evidence that implicated Selena in your parents’ accident was falsified.

    Harrison Frost sat in his grand yet empty office, the weight of years of selfishness pressing down on his shoulders like a mountain he could no longer bear. The mahogany desk before him, once a symbol of his power and success, now felt like a relic of a life built on lies. His once-thriving company, a legacy he had spent decades building, had been on the brink of collapse. But Julian had saved it.The very man he had once feared.The very man his daughter—his true daughter—had loved.Julian Mathers sat across from him, arms crossed, his sharp, unreadable gaze fixed on the older man. The silence between them was thick with tension, unspoken words, and regret. Julian had not come for business today. He had come for answers. And Harrison knew he could no longer evade them.Harrison swallowed hard, his mouth dry as he adjusted his tie. His hands trembled slightly, betraying the calm facade he tried to maintain. “Julian… I—”“Talk.” Julian’s voice was cold, but his patience was thinner tha

    Samantha sat in the lavish living room of the Frost mansion, delicately stirring her tea, a satisfied smirk playing at her lips. Her long, perfectly manicured nails tapped against the porcelain cup as she leaned back into the plush velvet couch. The sun streamed in through the tall glass windows, casting a golden glow over the elegant room, but nothing compared to the warmth of victory she felt within.Selena was gone.Finally.The older sister she had always loathed, the one who always outshined her, had packed her bags and left the country.Samantha hid her glee behind a carefully constructed mask of sadness, occasionally letting out a sigh of mock concern whenever her father, Harrison, brought up Selena’s departure.“She’ll come back,” Harrison said, though his expression betrayed his true emotions. There was no sadness in his voice, only irritation and worry. He wasn’t concerned about Selena—he was concerned about himself.With Julian divorcing her, their ties to his empire were s

    Selena stood in front of the large window in her childhood bedroom, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if trying to hold together the shattered pieces of her heart. The city lights outside glittered like distant stars, but their beauty felt hollow, mocking the emptiness inside her. This place—this house, this city—had once been her sanctuary, her home. Now, it felt like a prison, every corner suffused with memories that clawed at her soul. Of Julian. Of his cold, calculating eyes. Of the way his voice had dripped with venom when he told her the truth. Her chest tightened, a sharp ache radiating through her as she recalled the moment she had read the divorce papers. The words had burned into her mind, searing her with their cruelty. He had never loved her. He had only married her for revenge. The realization had shattered her, leaving her raw and exposed, as if her very essence had been stripped away. She had to leave. There was nothing left for her here. Her fing

    Julian sat alone in his office, the dim glow of his desk lamp casting long, jagged shadows across his face. The room was silent, save for the faint hum of the city outside, but the quiet did nothing to soothe the tempest raging within him. His hands, clenched into tight fists, rested on the polished surface of his desk, the knuckles white with tension. His chest felt like it was being crushed under an invisible weight, each breath shallow and labored, as if the air itself had turned against him. The divorce papers lay in front of him, signed and finalized. She was gone. It was what he had wanted—wasn’t it? Then why did it feel like his entire world had just been ripped apart? He leaned back in his chair, his head falling heavily against the leather headrest. His eyes, bloodshot and weary, stared blankly at the ceiling. The room seemed to close in around him, the walls pressing closer with every passing second. His mind was a chaotic whirlwind of thoughts, each one sharper an

    Selena’s hands trembled as she folded the last piece of clothing into her suitcase. The divorce papers lay abandoned on the bed, the inked words blurring in her tear-filled vision. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but the tears kept coming. This was really happening. Julian was releasing her. She had lost him. Not that she ever truly had him in the first place. Dragging her suitcase behind her, she stepped out of the room that had once been theirs. The hallways of Julian’s mansion felt colder, emptier than ever before. Every step away from this place felt like a dagger twisting deeper into her chest. She had thought she had found love. But all she had found was pain. The servants looked away, some whispering amongst themselves. No one stopped her. No one said a word. It was as if she had never belonged here. Julian had made sure of that. Outside, the driver stood waiting. His gaze was somber, but he didn’t question why she was leaving with nothing but

    Selena sat on the cold floor of Julian’s study, her entire body trembling as silent sobs wracked her frame. The weight of his words still echoed in her mind, suffocating her. "Did you really think I fell in love with you? That I wanted you for anything other than revenge?" The man she had loved, the man she had foolishly given her heart to, had never once seen her as anything other than a target. A means to an end. Her chest ached, a deep, unbearable pain that wouldn’t go away. She wanted to tell him the truth. She wanted to scream that she wasn’t the one who had killed his parents. But she couldn’t. Because if she did, then Samantha— Her phone suddenly rang, the sharp sound cutting through the suffocating silence. With shaky hands, she reached for it, barely able to see the screen through her tear-filled eyes. Samantha. For a moment, Selena hesitated before answering.
