***The camera lights shimmered, casting soft shadows in the large room filled with luxurious fabrics and photographic equipment. Anastasia stood in the center, her body draped in a gorgeous white gown with delicate lace details, specially designed by top designer Celine Idzes. Every curve of the gown accentuated her figure, making her look like an angel descended to earth. The diamond necklace that sparkled around her neck - the work of Laura Moen - added an inevitable touch of opulence.Celine stood at the side of the set, her eyes twinkling as she saw her handiwork reflected so perfectly on Anastasia's body. Not only did the dress look beautiful, but it exuded incredible elegance. Celine clapped her hands lightly, her smile wide."Anastasia," Celine said as she approached. "This gown was truly made for you. Your back is so beautiful, the cut of this gown is perfect for you. And that diamond necklace... it really completes everything. I've never seen anything so harmonious."Anastas

***Spring in Paris felt different this time. The flowers bloomed with bright colors, the breeze gently touched her skin, as if inviting Anastasia to enjoy every moment of beauty. However, despite the fresh air and charming scenery around her, there was an empty feeling in her heart.Anastasia walked alone along the Rue de Rivoli, her steps slow, almost aimless. She had deliberately given Lyra the day off to rest, to allow herself to enjoy the solitude amidst the hustle and bustle of bustling Paris. But despite being in a city that was always touted as the city of love, Anastasia felt lonely. The loneliness was so deep that it penetrated every inch of her soul."Why do I always feel this way?" she murmured softly, her eyes looking straight ahead, but her mind drifting far into the past.Since childhood, Anastasia had been used to loneliness. After her mother died, the world she knew shattered in an instant. Her mother was the center of her world, the only person who gave her love and

***Maximilian sat in his room, surrounded by the silence of the Paris night. His mind was filled with the words Selene had spoken about Anastasia. Ever since that meeting, the image of Anastasia's sad-looking face had haunted him. Her usually confident eyes that day held something deeper, something tightly hidden."What happened to her?" muttered Maximilian softly. Something inside him was disturbed, a feeling he could not ignore. He felt trapped, so close to the woman he had fallen in love with, but blocked by invisible walls.Maximilian looked down at his cell phone on the table. He knew that the distance between them was not only a matter of geography, but also of emotion. Even being in the same country was not enough to allow him to be as close to Anastasia as he wanted to be."I can't stay like this for too long," he muttered, rubbing his face in frustration. He remembered his mother's words. "Anastasia seems lonely, that look in her eyes is just like Isabelle's," those words re

***"Crazy! This morning hundreds of missed calls and thousands of messages came into my phone. I was shocked and thought something was wrong. Turns out it was because of that one photo!" Lyra was annoyed, she had rambled on and on, even cursing Leon."That man did it on purpose last night, he just wanted to trap you!" Lyra added again.Meanwhile, Anastasia sat in front of her tablet screen, staring at various articles that had appeared on the Internet over the past few days. The big headlines on the news pages were full of accusations that slandered her. They accused Anastasia of trying to lure Leon Hale back into her arms, and even wrote that she was using her fame at Paris Fashion Week to steal Leon away from her half-sister Elora.Her lips tightly sealed, Anastasia took a deep breath. She knew this was all part of a dirty game she had faced many times before, but this time the accusations stung even more because they touched on something very personal to her."They always have a c

***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
