Aria’s POVAfter weeks of looking, I finally found it—a gorgeous penthouse apartment with big windows and a view of the city. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was perfect. Sunlight filled the open living area, and my heart raced with excitement as I imagined how I would decorate it.“Aria, this place is amazing!” Maira exclaimed as she walked in behind me. She spun around, taking in the high ceilings and bright space. “You really scored!”“I can’t believe it’s mine,” I said, still in awe. “It doesn’t feel real.”We immediately started planning for a girls’ night, eager to make the space feel like home. I wanted fun snacks, drinks, and games to break the ice.“First up, we need to go shopping!” I announced with a big smile.Maira beamed. “Let’s do it! What do you need?”“Snacks, drinks, decorations, all of it!” I said, pulling out my phone to write a list. “And definitely some fun games.”With our list ready, we raced to the store. The aisles were filled with colorful party supplies,

Aria’s POVI step out of my apartment, feeling the cool morning air on my skin. Today is the Rogue photoshoot, and excitement buzzes inside me. I put my phone in my pocket and started walking to the subway station. The city wakes up around me—cars honk, street vendors set up their stalls, and I hear laughter that makes me smile. I was on my own today as Maira had to meet with prospective clients about some other jobs but I could figure it out.I quickly board the train and halfway there, my phone buzzes. I pull it out and see Caleb’s name. I frown, glancing at the screen. “Not now,” I mutter, dismissing the call and putting the phone back. I don’t want to deal with him today of all days.When I arrive at the studio, it’s buzzing with activity. Photographers rush around, light meters in hand, while stylists fluff hair and adjust outfits on smiling models. The energy is electric. I take a deep breath, feeling my heart race with excitement.“Aria, over here!” my stylist calls, waving me

Emily stood abruptly in the middle of the board meeting, the CEO’s voice fading as her mind raced with worry. “I’m sorry, but I have to go,” she announced, cutting him off. The room fell silent, eyes wide in surprise.“Emily, you can’t just leave!” the CEO protested.“I can and will. It’s urgent,” she replied, her heart pounding. She grabbed her bag and rushed out, her heels clicking against the floor as she made her way to the car.As she drove to the hospital, thoughts of Aria filled her mind. “Please, let her be okay,” she whispered to herself. When she arrived, she hurried through the entrance, anxiety trembling in her stomach.“Where’s Aria?” she asked the receptionist, breathless.“Room 204,” the woman replied, pointing down the hall.Emily sprinted toward the room and burst through the door. Inside, Maira and Chloe sat together, tears soaking their cheeks.“Maira!” Emily cried, rushing over. “What happened?”“Maira, please tell her everything,” Chloe urged, her voice shaking.“

Emily’s POVI sit still in the VIP suite of the hospital, watching Aria lie in her bed. The room is quiet except for the rhythm of the machines monitoring her health. I haven’t left since Aria arrived, got moved, and her assistant/ friend Maira insists on staying too.“How long do you think she’ll be like this?” Maira whispers, not wanting to disturb the peace. I could see the circles underneath her eyes. She was so tired.“I don’t know,” I reply, my voice low. And move even closer to her, kissing her on the cheek. She smiles weakly and I ruffle her hair while replying, “But I’m not leaving her side. Not now.”Maira nods, tracing her fingers over the blanket covering Aria. “The doctors say she’s stable, but it’s been hard. I don't know how she will react when she wakes to the news.” Maira’s eyes watered and it took me all I had not to hug her but I knew she wouldn't want me to do that, she would break down and hate herself later for it. I simply pat her shoulder and smile at her.“Whe

Susan storms into her empty house, slamming the door behind her. Anger boils inside her. The chaos on social media fills her mind. Threats to cancel her come pouring in."Why can’t they just mind their own business? How is it anyone's fuckin business if I slept with the movie manager or slapped Chloe?! Who the fuck does that brat think she is?!" she mutters, running her fingers through her hair. “Aria and her stupid friends had to mess everything up.”She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. “I planned everything perfectly. They shouldn’t have leaked my audition. Aria doesn't deserve this! This is my moment!”Fueled by rage, she grabs her keys and heads out. She starts her car and speeds toward the hospital, gripping the steering wheel tight."You think this is fair, Aria? Really? You’re lying in that hospital bed while I’m out here, fighting for my life. You get all the sympathy, all the attention. What about me? I’ve worked harder than anyone!Did you even think about how this
