"Please, spare me. Don't kill me, Alex. I'm sorry for framing you," Mara cried, tears streaming down her eyes."No, Mara. I don't forgive. You made me lose my career and all my future deals. You cost me a life, so for that I will take a life in return," Alex said coldly, his gun pointed at her forehead."But I have a family. I have people waiting for me at home who love me. People who really care about me," she cried bitterly."Do I not have a family myself? Yet you did this to me," he replied."Family? You do not have any family. You are just an orphan. If you die now, no one will cry for you. No one will feel pain for you. The world will move on like you never existed."Her words hit him deep."How dare you?"The next moment, he pulled the trigger."Bang!"She lay there on the floor, lifeless. Out of nowhere, the police rushed in and grabbed him, handcuffing him.The next moment, he was in prison. Before him stood the figure of a woman facing the wall and sobbing.Alex didn't quite

"What time is it?" he asked Anna thirty minutes after waking up.She looked at her watch."It's five pm.""Five pm? The show!" He stood up immediately."Hey, wait, Alex. You are sick, remember? The doctor said you need to stay here for three days so you can recover," she reminded him."Don't worry, I'm alright now," he said, then inwardly, "System, deduct my points and inject the healing portion straight into my system."Ding!(Hundred points deducted. Healing portion injected. Host is now fully healed.)He removed the drip and everything attached to him."No, you are not going anywhere, Alex," Anna said resolutely."You don't understand. I really need to go to this show," he insisted."What for? So you can fall on stage?" she retorted."Funny, but no. You have to believe me, Anna. We are partners, and I have no reason to lie to you," he tried to explain.After a brief argument, they agreed to let the doctor run a quick check. When the doctor examined him, he was shocked that Alex was

Chaplain led him to a huge lounge."This is a joint lounge. We also have a males-only lounge and a females-only lounge if you prefer not to mix with the opposite gender. This one is the joint lounge, where all the artists on the set can come and rest, regardless of gender," he explained.Alex wondered why anyone would want to stay in the males-only lounge. He certainly wouldn't. There were many beautiful flowers here. Even if he couldn't pluck them, couldn't he at least admire them?"Hey, Mara. Come over. I want to show you someone," Chaplain called.Mara?Who did he know with that name? He couldn't remember, but he knew he had met someone not long ago who was called that.A tall girl with a beautiful backside was talking with two other girls. Because she was facing the other way, Alex could only see her from behind. He whistled silently, appreciating God's creation.Then she turned when Chaplain called.The moment Alex saw her face, he was shocked, his jaw falling open."It's her."H

Alex blushed slightly. In all the years he had lived in her house, he had never known the Landlady’s real name. Everyone simply called her the landlady, and he had always done the same. She had never seemed to mind.“I’m sorry. I never thought to ask her name. Everyone in the house just calls her the landlady,” he apologized.“Hm. Anyway, why haven’t you gone to see her since? She kept saying she missed you. When you were arrested, she was outside the country but still terribly worried when she heard the news.”“Really? I’ve just been extremely busy. I barely get a wink of sleep. Working on an album, dealing with the court case, shows, and now this. But I’ll definitely make time to see her soon,” he assured her.“Alright, if you say so. But Alex, I don’t mean to be nosy, but why did you accept this role? Artists like you who already have fame usually only take big roles, as far as I know,” she asked.“Well, I have fame, but I don’t have money. Anything that brings money is acceptable,

Mara watched him return and slide back into the car.“I watched the news. If I’m not mistaken, those are the two girls who framed you and your producer,” she said as he settled into the passenger seat.“Yes, they are.” He sighed.“You are a good man. Even though they wronged you, you still came to pay homage to their corpses,” she said softly.“Well.” He simply shrugged.His phone rang. The moment he saw the caller ID, his face lit up.“Hey, what’s up, Anna?”“Where are you?” she asked curtly.Alex paused before answering.“I’m on my way home now.”“By yourself? Why didn’t you call to check if I was busy before leaving?” Her voice carried a clear edge of irritation.“Well, I thought maybe I shouldn’t disturb you by calling. I mean, I know it’s already stressful for you to come pick me up every day,” he explained.“Did I ever complain?”Alex paused again and remained silent.“Where are you now? Have you visited the cemetery? We agreed to stop by there on the way.”“I’m at the cemetery

Samuel showed Mara some of the songs he had written, along with a few he was still working on with Jude on his PC.After that, they lay on the bed, talking about all sorts of things.“So… I don’t know how to ask this.” Mara laughed.“Ask what? Go ahead. You can ask me anything,” Alex assured her.“Alright, this is weird, but I’ll say it anyway. Do you have a girlfriend?” She tried to keep a straight face, but her cheeks flushed red.“Oh, that? It’s not a weird question at all. I don’t have a girlfriend,” he replied.“Really? That’s hard to believe. You’re handsome, successful, and famous now. Many girls would be willing to throw themselves at you,” she said, unconvinced.“Maybe. I’m very handsome, no doubt,” he said smugly.“Bragging, huh?” She laughed.“On a serious note, I just don’t have the time. Ever since my first song, I’ve been extremely busy. Even now, I’m working on extra tracks for the ultra version of my album. There’s also the possibility of a small tour, plus so many sho

She spoke immediately, then stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her.Alex quietly locked it this time before turning to Mara.“I’m sorry I forgot to lock the door.”“No, it’s not your fault. We were all caught up in the heat of the moment.” She smiled softly.“Sooo?”“Alex,” she called gently, meeting his eyes.“I don’t think we should continue this. You’re a good man, and I don’t want to waste your time. To be honest, I’m not the type of person who believes in building a family before reaching my peak.I’d only end up wasting your time and stopping you from finding true love sooner.”“Oh.” Alex echoed the word and walked over to the nearby sofa, lowering himself onto it.“Yeah. I understand. I’m sorry too. I just acted on impulse,” he said calmly.“We all did. I’m truly fond of you. There was a time when I was ready to sacrifice my career to be with you.” She giggled.Alex smiled.“I should get going now.” She stepped down from the bed.*******Alex was surprised when An

Anna sat near the back row, calm and composed. When their eyes met, she smiled and gave him a small, encouraging nod.The tension in his chest eased.Alex nodded back.Then he stood and walked toward the stage as the applause continued.The host handed him the shining trophy, and the audience clapped again.Alex looked down at the award for a moment before stepping up to the microphone.He took a breath.“Wow… I honestly didn’t expect this tonight.”A few soft chuckles rippled through the crowd.“When you start in music, you dream about moments like this. But you also know how difficult it is to even reach a stage like this.”He paused briefly, letting his gaze sweep across the audience.“I want to thank the Platinum Sounds Awards for this honor.”He lifted the trophy slightly.“But more importantly, I want to thank the people who believed in me long before any award show did.”His eyes drifted toward the back rows.“Anna… my private agent. You’ve worked behind the scenes every single

In the middle of the following month, promotions for Chaplain’s romantic comedy Love Maybe began.Short clips were released first.Alex sat in front of the screen as one of them played again. A quick scene with Mara. A laugh, a pause, then a cut.“Not bad,” someone behind him said.Another clip followed immediately, this one longer. His face remained on screen longer than expected.He noticed it.“They’re pushing you hard,” Anna said, glancing at her phone. “Most of the clips center around you.”Alex didn’t reply right away. He simply watched as the numbers climbed beneath the video.Views. Comments. Shares.It was working.Later that week, the interviews began.Cameras flashed the moment he stepped in.“Alex! Over here!”“How was working with Mara?”“Is this your first real romance role?”He answered smoothly, already used to it.They were paying him one hundred thousand just to show up and promote, but at this point, it barely felt like work.Chaplain watched one of the interviews f

“No one.”“Mara.”Alex and Jude spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping just enough to make Anna pause.“Oh, Mara.” Anna gave a small nod, her expression unreadable as she chose not to comment further.“I’m not marrying Mara,” Alex said flatly.“It’s alright. You two are already dating, so if things go well, marriage can come naturally,” she replied, her tone casual, almost dismissive.“No. We are not dating.”Anna’s brows knitted slightly as she looked at him, confusion clear in her eyes. Alex caught the look and let out a quiet breath.“That night… we didn’t go further because it wouldn’t work between us,” he explained.“But why wouldn’t it work?” she pressed, her frown deepening.“Because our interests don’t align.” He rubbed his temple, already tired of the topic. “She doesn’t want a family anytime soon.”Anna shrugged lightly. “That’s not really a problem. You’ll find someone better. Anyway, I brought chicken laps.”She lifted the lid of the large box she had brought, an
