Chapter 1

After finishing her call, Melanie Roland returned to the set and joined the crew to observe the filming. At the moment, the camera focused on her boyfriend Ken Lambert in a kissing scene with actress Jennifer Knowles.Ken's burning passion was evident as he locked lips with Jennifer. His tender, intimate expression was something Melanie had never seen before.Before Jennifer appeared, Ken had always avoided intimate scenes for fear of upsetting Melanie. He would never film such scenes in front of her.As Melanie recalled the past, a heavy weight settled on her heart. She suddenly found it difficult to breathe. "Cut! That's it for today. Great work, everyone!"The director called it a wrap, and cheers filled the set.Ken's assistants immediately rushed over to drape a coat over him and hand him a thermos.Melanie watched as he walked over, laughing and chatting with Jennifer. She numbly stepped aside to let them pass.In the past, Ken claimed he was worried about damaging his c

Melanie's eyelashes fluttered. "This is..."Before she could finish, Ken grabbed the pregnancy report and shoved it back into her purse. "I put it in your purse. I'm going to find Jen. Make sure you leave without being seen!"Without giving her a chance to respond, he hurriedly handed her the purse and walked away.Melanie couldn't hold back any longer and called after him, "Ken, what if I'm pregnant?""I was careful. Don't worry, you won't get pregnant! And if you do, get rid of it—it would ruin me otherwise!" Ken interrupted her again before leaving in a rush.Melanie stood there, feeling as if she had plunged into an icy abyss.He was just as cruel to her as he would be to their child.But in a way, that made things easier. At least she wouldn't feel guilty about hiding the existence of their child.Melanie returned to her hotel, eyes red as she deleted every post about Ken from her social media and left all his fan groups. She even deactivated the fan account she had built

Chapter 3

Melanie didn't have to cook, anyway. She only needed to buy meals for six more days.Not wanting to watch Ken and Jennifer fawn over each other any longer, she stepped outside and sent a large cash gift to her colleagues at work. Then, she made a call."Can you help me pack up my stuff at the office and throw it all away? I'm planning to replace everything with new stuff.""Sure, I'll take care of it later.""Thank you."Those were things Ken had bought for her. She once cherished them, but now, she didn't want to keep a single thing.After hanging up, Melanie drew a cross over the 24th on her calendar and immediately got to work. She had a script to revise and had to deal with Ken and Jennifer's demands, leaving her utterly swamped.When she received a call from Jamie Grant early on the 25th, she was momentarily confused. "Hello, who's this?""It's me!" Jamie said. "Do you remember that you promised to fly to Hillridge in five days?"She picked up the tension in his voice.

Chapter 4

The fireworks, roses, and drone portraits…Everything Ken had planned for this confession mirrored the dream scenario Melanie once described to him. But now, he was using it for someone else.Her gaze locked on Ken and Jennifer, who both stood together on the stage.She had already been heartbroken to realize she was just a stand-in, but this scene was a new level of devastation. It felt as though someone had ripped her heart out and trampled all over it."Is Melanie here?"Jennifer's voice could be heard over the speaker, drawing everyone's attention to her.The crowd parted, and Melanie was ushered forward and onto the stage.As she passed Ken, he didn't bother to explain the situation. Instead, he leaned close and whispered a warning, "This is an important night for me. Don't screw it up!"Melanie hadn't even spoken when Jennifer approached them with her tongue stuck out."What's the secret? You two seem awfully close—anything going on?" she teased deliberately.Ken waved

Chapter 5

Melanie fell unexpectedly down the stairs, barely stopping at the landing. She was both shocked and terrified. Her entire body ached terribly.When she saw the blood between her legs, her face turned pale in an instant."Save me and my baby!" Melanie, her phone broken, trembled as she pleaded with Jennifer for help.Jennifer, however, slapped herself twice and sat on the floor."Ah! Melanie, stop hitting me!" she screamed shrilly. "Even if you hit me, I can't make Ken fall in love with you!"Upon hearing the commotion, Ken rushed over. "Jen, are you okay?"He anxiously picked Jennifer up and was ready to leave while completely ignoring Melanie below.Melanie frantically pleaded with him for help. "Ken, save me!"Ken noticed the blood on her, and his expression changed. Before he could do anything, Jennifer nestled in his arms and started crying."Ken, Melanie attacked me and threw herself down the stairs to frame me! Look, she even prepared fake blood! She must have planned th

Chapter 6

"Haha…"Melanie let out a bitter laugh, but tears began to fall. She must have been blind to love a man like this, to think he was perfect in every way.Jennifer’s eyes were full of mockery. "Melanie, are you trying to gain sympathy?"Ken frowned impatiently. "Hurry up and do it! Jen still needs to rest!""I know."Melanie took a deep breath, and slapped herself across the face. Then, she slapped herself again.With her cheeks burning, she looked at them with empty eyes and asked, "Is that enough?"Jennifer pouted. "It seemed a little light."Ken turned his head away, avoiding her gaze. "Keep going."Slap!Slap!By the time blood trickled from Melanie’s mouth, Jennifer finally seemed satisfied."Melanie, I recorded that and sent it to the group chat. It’s for your own good, to teach you a lesson. Don’t blame me."Melanie’s face throbbed with pain and swelling. She just wanted to leave. "Can I go now?""Sure," Jennifer said. "Just remember not to fake a miscarriage again.

Chapter 7

Suddenly, Jennifer slapped Melanie hard across the face.Through her tears, Jennifer cried, "You know how unbearable it is to soak in cold water in this weather, so why did you deliberately give my stand-in expired milk tea? You made her sick, and now, she couldn't come to work! You did this to force me into the water, didn't you?"Melanie touched her swollen cheek. Feeling wronged, she tried to explain, "I didn't! I don't even know who your stand-in is!"The next second, Ken snarled, "Shut up! If you didn't do it, are you saying Jennifer is lying?"A chorus of voices from the crowd chimed in to accuse Melanie."The stand-in isn't here, and Melanie happens to be the only one with the height, body type, and resemblance to Ms. Knowles who can be her substitute. What's her excuse for refusing?""Melanie made the mistake, and now everyone has to clean up her mess. How annoying!""She's so shameless! Ms. Knowles' stand-in didn't even press charges against her. That's more than genero

Chapter 8

Melanie used to think the face mask was one of Ken's peculiar quirks. Now that she knew the truth, all she felt was disgust.She pushed him away in revulsion, taking off the mask. "Ken, I don't want this."Ken was rarely refused by her, so he seemed a little disappointed. "Is it that time of the month?""Yeah."Melanie, drained from dealing with him, walked out. She wasn't surprised that he came back to coax her—Jennifer had probably ditched him again.Melanie scrolled through Jennifer's social media account.Sure enough, Jennifer's latest post read, [My uncle heard I was done with filming and came to visit me. He really spoils me! We went out together, and so many people asked if he was my boyfriend. Do you think we really look like a couple? (embarrassed emoji)]The post included a photo of her with her uncle.Underneath was a comment from Ken's closest friend, Wayne Shelton. [Ken's been in love with you for years. Whatever you asked him to do, he'd do it. Even if you told

Chapter 9

Thirty minutes later, Ken was sitting in a restaurant with Jennifer nestled in his arms. For some reason, an unsettling feeling crept into his heart.As he gently patted Jennifer's back, he turned his head and inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure in a passing taxi.It looked like...Melanie!But before he could get a good look, Jennifer grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Ken, it hurts so much here!"The soft sensation made Ken freeze, his mouth going dry. Despite that, concern dominated his thoughts. "What's wrong? Should I take you to the hospital?""Don't be silly. I'm just upset!"Jennifer bit her lip and climbed onto his lap, her tear-filled eyes sparkling. "Ken, is it because I'm not pretty enough that some people don't like me?"Ken's heart ached at the sight. "Nonsense! In my eyes, you're the most beautiful person in the world. Anyone who doesn't like you must be blind!""What about Melanie?""That country bumpkin?

Ken knelt alone in the spotlight, surrounded by whispers and mocking laughter. His face flushed red with embarrassment, but his instincts drove him to his feet and after Jennifer.At that moment, Jennifer was nervously explaining herself to Steve Hammer. "Uncle, please listen to me! Ken and I are just good friends!"Steve, distracted, nodded absentmindedly. "Okay, have fun. I have things to do."With that, he walked away.Jennifer stomped her foot in frustration and ran out crying.Ken, initially filled with resentment, felt it melt into concern the moment he saw her tears. He chased after her. "Jen!"Jennifer threw herself into his arms, choking back sobs. "You're still the best, Ken.""Because I like you," he said, gazing at her tenderly, confessing his love."It's so great to have a friend like you who likes me," she replied.Hearing Jennifer once again emphasize 'friend', Ken couldn't help but feel a flicker of irritation.But then, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed
