All Chapters of The Star's Secret Husband: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

***"Max... "Maximilian looked at Anastasia intensely, her eyes radiating the longing she had been harboring. Without saying anything, she moved closer and before Anastasia could react, Maximilian's lips had already touched hers. The kiss was soft, slow, but full of deep feelings. Anastasia was shocked for a moment, but then her body relaxed and she allowed herself to sink into the kiss. Both their bodies seemed to melt in a warmth and longing that could not be expressed in words.The kiss slowly stopped, but Maximilian's lips were still very close to Anastasia's. The woman still closed her eyes, trying to feel every second that had just passed. His heart was beating fast, as if it wanted to leave his chest. A strange feeling crept through his body, a feeling that was hard to define, yet so strong. He didn't want to open his eyes, he didn't want this reality to end so quickly.Maximilian, still staring at Anastasia's flushed face, smiled slightly. He brought his lips closer to Anasta

***"Who, Ma? Was that person the one who helped Mama in the past?" asked Elora.Aria smiled triumphantly. "Yes, and it works! He can get rid of the woman, and Noire's extended family can accept Mama even though she brings you, who is not Rhett's biological daughter. So Mama will ask for your help so the damn girl can join her mother in hell!"Elora smiled happily. "Don't hesitate, Mama! I want to see Anastasia ruined and I don't want Leon to come back to Anastasia.""Calm down, baby. Mama will make sure that the fucking girl's pleasure is only for a moment and you are the winner!"***That night, the atmosphere in the Kingsley family's main residence was very quiet. Maximilian was sitting with his parents, enjoying a warm dinner. However, the peaceful atmosphere was suddenly disturbed when his phone rang. Anastasia's name appeared on the screen, making Maximilian smile a little."I picked up the phone," Maximilian said to his parents, then answered the call away from the dining room.

***"Really? I was also invited to the Paris Fashion Week event?" asked Elora with sparkling eyes.Rafael nodded. "That's right, Elora. Later you will be part of a well-known brand and you will probably be offered to be their brand ambassador."Elora smiled proudly and immediately stared at herself in the mirror, contorting herself in the designer dress she was wearing. "Paris Fashion Week, Rafael. This is my big chance. Everyone will see how radiant I am.""Don't be too confident yet, Elora. There are more important things to focus on."Elora frowned and turned to the man. "What do you mean? Haven't I prepared everything?"Rafael sighed deeply, put his phone down on the table and leaned back. "Yes, you have prepared well. But you have to remember one thing, Anastasia will be there. I don't want Paris Fashion Week to become her stage, Elora. You have to make sure he doesn't steal the show."Elora bit her lower lip, her haughty gaze softening slightly. The name Anastasia still haunted

***"Mom, are you going to Paris?" asked Maximilian.Selene nodded. "I miss your aunt. Celine couldn't go back to New York yet. Your uncle is also going there to be with Anastasia.""Why don't I take you there?" offered Maximilian.Selene looked at Maximilian with big eyes. She had never expected Maximilian to suddenly offer to take her to Paris. For a moment, she thought it was a joke, but the serious tone in Maximilian's voice made her pause."Are you serious about taking Mom to Paris?" asked Selene with a frown, a little confused by the offer.Maximilian nodded while sipping his coffee. "Yes, I'm surveying for a new project there. I also received an invitation from Uncle Christian."Selene was even more puzzled. She knew that Maximilian was always busy with his business affairs, but what was it about Paris that interested him this time? Besides, her son hated the hustle and bustle of the bustling world."You want to expand our business into fashion?" Selene asked curiously.Maximil

***Anastasia and Lyra walked quickly to the departure gate at the New York airport. The airport was busy that morning, but Anastasia's mind was filled with thoughts of her trip to Paris. Paris Fashion Week, an exclusive invitation from Coeur de Luxe, and a great opportunity that should make her happy - but not today.Anastasia's footsteps suddenly stopped. Her eyes were fixed on a figure she knew very well. In the crowd of passing passengers, she saw the man she had missed for so long, but who also made her heart hurt even more - her father, Rhett Noire.Rhett stood there, smiling warmly, but not at her. His hug was tight, loving, but not for his daughter. Elora, his stepdaughter, received all the attention, a satisfied smile painted on her face. Like a dagger slowly piercing, Anastasia's heart felt broken.Tears almost fell, but Anastasia held them back. She couldn't cry. Not here. Not in front of Lyra. And especially not in front of Rhett, Aria and Elora. With trembling lips she tr
