Chapter 11

Ken didn't think there would be any issues with Melanie.Anxious and excited, he asked his friends, "How should I confess to Jen to maximize my chances of success?"The group discussed seriously for hours. Ken diligently noted their suggestions, feeling confident it would be flawless this time.However, when the time came for his heartfelt confession, Jennifer was nowhere to be found.He finally located her in a private room across the venue. What he saw inside sent a rush of blood to his head. Jennifer was half-naked, her cheeks flushed. Steve, drunk, pressed down against her. Her exposed skin was covered in bruises."Did you force yourself on Jen? I'll kill you!" Ken roared.Ken furiously pulled Steve off Jennifer and punched the man hard in the face. Before he could throw another punch, Jennifer slammed a wine bottle against his head."Don't you dare touch my uncle! I did this willingly!" she screeched. Blood trickled down Ken's forehead as he stood there, his eyes burnin

Ken, in a cheerful mood, went to the hospital to get his wound dressed and then headed back to the club."Melanie's probably been waiting for a while, huh?" he asked his friends, grinning. "She must be over the moon. She won't even know what to say!"Ken expected a reaffirming answer, just like always. When he walked into the club and scanned the room, however, he didn't see Melanie anywhere.His friends awkwardly replied to him."We've been calling Melanie, but her phone's off.""We went to your house to look for her, but she's not there either!"Ken laughed dismissively. "She must be at the office working overtime. That's just her. She loves me so much that she's working herself to the bone for me."With that, he called someone at the office. "Is Melanie at the office? Tell her to come find me!""Melanie threw away all her things last month, and her contract with the company ended at the end of last month. She hasn't been back since she left with you the last time," his assis

Chapter 13

Melanie had been abroad for three months.She thought that after a breakup and finding herself in a foreign country, facing someone like Jamie—a massive international superstar—would be a huge adjustment. Surprisingly, the past three months had been incredibly fulfilling. Her creativity was overflowing, and she was writing scripts faster than ever.Knock, knock, knock!Someone knocked on the door; Melanie opened it to find a young man standing outside. His facial features were well-defined, his deep-set eyes and chiseled face strikingly handsome.It was her new boss, Jamie—also the first actor from Whalington to win the coveted international Best Actor award.Despite spending three months working with him, Melanie was still in awe of his looks. It was no wonder people said he could dominate the entertainment industry with just his face.She snapped out of her daze. "Jamie? Come in.""Did I disturb you?" Jamie asked, looking at her with a hint of concern."No, I just got back

Melanie groggily followed Jamie to the Carnes red carpet event.People were moving around, but no one seemed to be taking photos of them. Instead, some staff were urging these people to move along.As soon as Melanie and Jamie got out of the car, a crowd gathered around them."Wow, you're so handsome!""Jamie, I love you!""Who's that next to you? She's so beautiful!"In addition to the fans, a group of reporters also rushed forward, eager to get a view.Jamie handled the compliments and questions about himself with his usual cool demeanor, offering curt responses. Brief responses were more than enough.However, when the questions were related to Melanie, he smiled and chatted freely with everyone."Do you think Melanie's beautiful too? I guess we share the same taste in appreciating beauty," he said. "This is Melanie. She's an amazing screenwriter! I've been trying to get her on board for eight years. Finally, I get to work with her!"Jamie's praise made Melanie feel a littl

"I don't know, and I don't care!" Melanie hissed, cutting him off. Faced with Ken's persistence, Melanie's good mood vanished completely.After saying that, she turned to leave.However, Ken quickly caught up, grabbing her arm."Melanie, what is this? We've been getting along fine, and then you break up with me without warning. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?""Fine, I'll give you an explanation!"Melanie forcefully shook him off. She had been holding herself together ever since she saw him. But now, all the years of suppressed grief and anger came bursting out all at once.Her fists clenched tight as she sneered, "If you like Jennifer so much, go after her! I don't want to be her substitute anymore. I'm not some filler in your relationship!"Ken let out a helpless laugh. "So you're still jealous of Jen, huh? You don't like me spending time with her? Fine, I'll listen to you from now on. Jen and I are just for show. I swear you're the only person in my heart.""Are

Ken reached out to grab Melanie, but she dodged him.She had finally figured it out. He still thought she left him out of jealousy.Melanie was disgusted. She took a deep breath to calm herself. "I don't care if you're really done with Jennifer or not. I won't get back together with you."You used me as a placeholder, and it's been painful. You won't break up with me, but you keep confessing to Jennifer, treating me like a backup. It's disgusting."The harm you've caused me by dragging me into this, I hate it. Whether you turn back or not, it doesn't matter anymore. All the love I had for you is gone, drained over the past eight years by your selfishness."Melanie hoped that after they cleared things up, he would leave and never show his face again.Instead, Ken laughed and looked at her affectionately. "I get it, you're still mad at me. You're still thinking I won't give up on Jen. Don't worry, I'll show you how sincere I am. Goodnight. I'll come find you tomorrow!"Ken did

Slap!Melanie slapped Ken hard across the face, her anger on the verge of bursting out of her chest."Until now, you're still using me as an excuse. How could I fall for someone as brazen as you?"Ken covered his swollen face. He was furious."Melanie! Jen once told me that you pretended to be nice in front of me but always bullied her behind my back. I couldn't imagine it back then. Now, I know every word she said was true!"Melanie wasn't good with words, and she couldn't beat him in an argument. She wasn't as brazen as him. She furrowed her brows and glared at him angrily, wanting to call the police to arrest him again.Just then, Jamie came out of the room.Ken saw him, and his expression changed. "Jamie, what are you doing at my girlfriend's place?""Don't spew nonsense. Mel broke up with you three months ago!" Jamie uttered in disgust.Ken gritted his teeth when he heard Jamie addressing Melanie affectionately. "Jamie, you don't know Melanie well. You might not know what

Chapter 18

The internet was flooded with furious comments, all condemning Jennifer and Ken.Ken's agent also sent him a message.[Ken, Jamie personally called earlier and told you to stay away from Melanie. He said you've helped her before, so he's leaving you room to redeem yourself this time. But if it happens again, you won't have a place in this industry anymore! Also, you need to record a sincere apology to Melanie and give your fans an explanation. Tell them you've been deceived by Jennifer all along!]Ken saw the messages from his agent, but he didn't respond. Instead, he scrolled through the videos again, desperately trying to find some signs of tampering.Yet, there was nothing.The evidence was irrefutable. Jennifer had been the one tormenting Melanie all along."How could this happen?! Melanie was really pushed down the stairs by Jennifer, and she lost her baby... She's been telling the truth all along. Jennifer's the real liar! And what did I do? I stood by and did nothing. I ev

However, Melanie just stared at him expressionlessly. "I don't love you anymore."Ken crawled two steps forward, desperate. "Baby, you can't do this. You promised you'd never leave me!"You said you'd love only me, that you'd marry me and have a child with me... You made so many promises. Have you kept any of them? I-I... It's all my fault! But I paid for your parents' medical bills, I arranged jobs for them, and I even saved you. I've done so much for you! You can't just abandon me..."Ken knew Melanie valued gratitude. As long as he reminded her of the favors he'd done for her, even if she didn't love him anymore, he was sure she'd choose to stay by his side.However, she only sneered. "All the favors from those years, I've repaid them long ago. I'll give you five minutes. If you don't leave, I'll expose your double life to the public. Your career will be over."Ken's actions were quicker than his thoughts. He stood up and looked at her with deep affection. "Please take ca

Chapter 20

Jamie glanced at Melanie before speaking to Timothy and Jack. "My colleague here is a bit shy, so you two should stop acting all profound. You're scaring her!""I'm not pretending to be profound. I'm just completely captivated! My god, you really are as good as he's claimed in the past! It's been a long time since I've been this infatuated with a script!" Timothy praised loudly.Jamie tilted his chin upward. "If you had read all her scripts, you'd know she's even more impressive than you think."Jack struggled to look away from the script. Finally, he lifted his gaze. "I have a feeling that when this film is released, thousands will be mesmerized by her talent. She's like a goddess who uses her imagination to create an utterly dazzling world!"Jamie high-fived him. "That's exactly what I thought when I saw her first work. She's a genius!"Timothy clapped. "I'm going to assemble the team right now. Melanie, you're just too amazing. It's such a shame I'm only getting to know you n
