chapter 51
Chapter 51 Jessica had stepped out of the agency's office and got into her car. The daylight was slowly fading. The city traffic had also eased, yet the crowd of thoughts in her head showed no sign of diminishing. . She was driving, hoping she might find some peace once she got back to Messina House.After driving for a while, a section of the street seemed strangely empty. There were few shops, and almost no people. A slight unease rose in Jessica's chest, but she told herself it was just empty because it was the end of the day. Just then, a motorcycle and a car pulled up in front of her, blocking her way.She slammed on the brakes. Her eyes widened as she saw four men walking slowly toward her. Their gait, the way they looked—it was clear they hadn't found the place by accident.Jessica locked the car doors. She lifted the phone, but before she could make a call, one of them came up to the window, punched it, and laughed."Ma'am, open the door," the man said in a rough voice.Jessi

Chapter 52"Why are you here?" Jessica said in a harsh voice, glancing toward the door before meeting Isabel's eyes again."I came for my own business," Isabel said with a confident smile at the corner of her lips, as if this office were hers."Your own business?" Jessica leaned forward in her chair. "Just walking into Starlight doesn't get you a job.""I didn't just walk in," Isabel said with a shrug. "I came. You're here.""You didn't make an appointment," Jessica said coldly."I don't recognize the authority of the people who require an appointment," Isabel said."Then you've come to the wrong place," Jessica said with suppressed anger, "because there are rules here.""You made the rules," Isabel said slowly, "and you can break them if you want.""I don't make special exceptions for anyone," Jessica said, narrowing her eyes."You do," Isabel shot back, "if you're the right person.""What do you mean, the right person?" Jessica's voice grew sharper."Don't you get it?" Isabel said,
chapter 53
CHAPTER 53The moment she stepped onto the shooting floor, Isabelle felt like she was in the wrong place. The hustle and bustle, the intensity of the lights and shadows, the cold eyes of the cameras—all of it combined made the place incredibly uncomfortable for her. Every sound, every movement seemed to put more pressure on her. She tried to act natural, but her body wouldn't cooperate.Beside her was Rosa. Rosa's presence was a complete contrast. She stood tall, shoulders straight, a look of confidence in her eyes. There was a certainty in Rosa's body language that made it clear—though this place was new to her, there was nothing to fear.Today was the first day—Isabel and Rosa had both joined the shooting crew. But most of the people on set didn't seem interested in this new development. Rather, they seemed annoyed. The staff's eyes held a clear annoyance whenever they glanced her way.Isabel felt it. No one said anything outright, but the looks were enough to make her feel small.

Chapter 54"Sir Marco," a guard from the Messina family said in a low voice, "Madam Jessica has given orders that you are not to enter the building.""She said that herself?" Marco asked calmly."Yes, sir," the guard nodded, "it's a direct order.""Alright," Marco said."Sir, if you'd like, I can ask again—""No," Marco cut him off. "Leave it as she said.""Yes, sir," the guard stepped aside."Did you see that?" a passing employee whispered."Yeah," another said, "they're making Marco stand outside.""I heard he's not that important to the Messina family," a third one commented."Then what about all this time together?""It's all for show," someone said."Rumors spread fast in an office this big," another said."He's still standing there," a guard said in surprise."Why doesn't he leave?""Maybe he's waiting," the other guard said."Waiting for whom?""For the one he tolerates everything for," someone said in a low voice."Sir Marco," a junior staff member stepped forward, "you can go

Chapter 55Marco arrived at Jessica's office a few minutes early. In the hallway, the sounds of light footsteps, the smell of coffee, and the click of keyboards blended together to create a familiar office atmosphere. He knocked on the door. There was no answer from inside.He slowly opened the door and stepped inside.The office was empty.Jessica's large desk was tidy, her chair pushed in, and the window shade was half-drawn. It looked as if someone had just left. Marco glanced at his watch. The time was right. He figured Jessica was just running a little late.He didn't stay by the door. Instead, he moved to the sofa inside and stood by it. He didn't feel like sitting for no reason. A slight unease was building in his chest, but he ignored it. He had learned many times in previous chapters—discomfort in this office meant trouble.A few minutes passed.Suddenly, the sound of heels was heard from outside the door. Then the door opened.A young woman entered.Marco didn't look at firs

Chapter 56Jessica sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the screen, but there was no curiosity in her eyes, only disbelief and deep pain. She knew it was all a lie. She knew how the truth was being torn apart, how a man was being destroyed in public. Yet, knowing this couldn't calm her.The news scrolled, the reporters' excited voices rising, and every word pierced Jessica's chest like a blade. A single question echoed in her mind—how did it all get this far?She slowly turned off the TV, but the images didn't leave her mind, even though the sound was gone. The room suddenly felt too small. The walls seemed to be closing in, making it hard to breathe. Jessica stood up and went to the window, looking out, but even the light outside couldn't bring her any comfort today.Her eyes welled up. At first, she tried to hold it together, but after a moment, that effort crumbled. The tears came silently, as if she was afraid to make a sound. Her shoulders shook, and she clenched her hands tigh
chapter 57
Chapter 57The atmosphere inside the office suddenly turned ugly. The people in the glass-walled corridor couldn't figure out what was happening at first. The next moment, everyone saw it—two security guards were forcefully holding Marco and pushing him out of the office."Come on, get out of here."The voice was cold, but the demeanor was harsh.Marco's footing wavered slightly, but he didn't fall. He didn't resist or even touch anyone. He just walked silently, as if he had anticipated this humiliation.The eyes of the people standing inside the office turned to him at once. Some looked surprised, others curious, and still others with a hidden sense of satisfaction. There had been talk about Marco's position here before—today, it seemed, it was all coming to fruition.The security guards led him out of the door and stopped. One of them gave him a light push and said,"Your work here is done."Marco remained silent.He didn't let anyone see the insult simmering deep in his eyes, but t

Chapter 58The crew looked at each other; some with hesitation, some with anger, and others with fear. Though everyone had been quiet until now, the questions building up inside could no longer be suppressed.Finally, a few crew members stepped forward."Director James," one of them began cautiously, "are you sure... this is the right thing to do?"The question was met with a momentary silence. It was as if everyone was holding their breath, staring at Director James. James slowly turned around. His expression changed instantly."Do you know what you're saying?" he said in a harsh voice.Another employee mustered the courage to add,"Sir, we were just trying to be clear."At this, James curled his lip into a smile, but there was no warmth in it."Clear?" he said sarcastically. "Since when is it your job to judge decisions?"His voice grew even firmer."Marco now associates with prominent families. He is a respected man. You have no right to question him."Those words fell on the worke

Chapter 59Isabel was still crying.Her sobs were uncontrollable.Her eyes were red and swollen.Tears streamed down her cheeks one after another.She stood with her head down.She didn't have the courage to look at anyone.Rosa slowly walked forward.Her expression was so innocent, as if she had nothing to do with the incident.She looked at Marco with great calculation.Rosa said in a soft voice, "Marco..."Marco didn't answer.He stood motionless.Rosa said again, "Please, forgive her."Isabel's shoulders trembled."He didn't mean to do anything bad," Rosa said.The people standing around the set watched the scene in silence.Rosa paused for a moment, then added, "He still loves you."Hearing this, a pain spread through Isabel's chest.She wanted to look up.But shame and fear held her back."He couldn't handle the news of your engagement," Rosa said.A few of the crew looked at each other."He got very jealous," Rosa said in a quiet voice.Isabel's fingers clenched."So he acted a little c

Chapter 60Rosa's phone rang in Jessica's hand at the very moment she was forcing herself to stay calm. Camera lights were being set up around the unit, technicians busy with their work, but Jessica's mind had already been restless. The moment she saw the name on the screen, she knew there was no way to avoid this call.Roza.That name was no longer just a connection to the past; it was now tied to accusations, threats, and an indomitable ego.Jessica hesitated for a few seconds before answering."You went and did this to my daughter, after all."As soon as she answered, Rosa's voice shot through, without any preamble.Jessica took a slow breath."Please be clear about what you're talking about.""Isabel's lead role was taken away," Rosa said sharply, "and now she's been given a small, demeaning part. Don't you know that?"Jessica's eyes hardened slightly."I know.""Then why didn't you say anything?"It was a direct accusation in Rosa's voice.Jessica composed herself and said,"Beca
