2025-09-04 03:05:20With a slow, melancholic song playing in the background, Jason spun around multiple times. Snowflakes fell around him against a backdrop of snowy mountains.
He wore a large jacket made of white animal fur, adorned with pieces of medieval silver armor that made him look like a Templar knight. As he spun the last time, a woman came into view, spinning gracefully and falling into his left arm like a ballet dancer. She looked happy at first, then suddenly began coughing blood. He looked ahead and saw another man who resembled him, dressed in black animal fur and armor with a red cross across his chest and horns on his helmet. The man pointed a bloodstained sword at Jason and the girl, giving a maniacal laugh as the man in white and silver cried out. This continued until the music video director yelled "Cut!" The dancing girl with the fake bloody wound in her stomach got up like nothing happened.

While Jason was stuck in his thoughts, Nina raised her glass with a playful smile that made the knot in his stomach feel even more painful. "Here's to enjoying a year of being stuck with me." Jason didn't raise his glass, wondering why she was raising hers after already drinking from it. "Can't contain the excitement," he said before cutting into his food. "Has any of your girlfriends ever told you how cute you are when you sulk?" Then she took another sip of the drink. "I'm sure you were the spoiled type who whined and cried whenever things didn't go your way." Jason shook his head, stabbing his food like he was imagining the meal as Nina. "Have you met my mother before?" The woman took a final sip from the cup before answering. "God, this is so good," she whispered to herself in a way that was loud enough for Jason to hear. "Probably not," she answered Jason. "But I know you kissed my hand even when you couldn't stand being around me. I love the way you opened
Chapter 32: The Date.
Calvin Constantine stepped out of the elevator, heading toward the studio to meet Jason and Abigail. He'd sent Abigail something important for Jason, something he believed would clear the air between them and make work easier. Just as he thought about this, the studio door opened.Out came Jason McCallister, looking angry and bothered. Seeing Calvin didn't help, and before Calvin could offer a handshake, Jason walked past him toward the elevator, leaving his hand hanging. Calvin looked over his shoulder, watching Jason enter the elevator while pretending he hadn't just bumped into his boss. "Interesting," Calvin said as he pulled out a lollipop and slowly unwrapped it. He opened the door and stepped into the busy studio.Abigail was talking with a young woman in a medieval dress while the rest of the crew worked like a busy movie set. It made him think twice about approving Abigail's budget for this music video, but he didn't

Chapter 30: Final Warning.
Taking Elena's earlier advice, Calvin decided to go for a walk the next day, ignoring the oddly specific black SUVs parked at the hottest spots in the neighborhood. If he was being followed, those doing it were keeping watch at all the popular places a normal resident would visit. One of those places was a coffee shop about ten minutes from Martin's home.Calvin stopped by the shop, wearing a hoodie and black sunglasses. After getting his coffee, he walked to his seat and pulled out his phone. Nathan's threats still loomed in his mind, so he decided to scroll for a few minutes before thinking of his next move.That's when he felt a very large hand rest on his shoulder. It felt heavy; like it was one move away from crushing him to powder. Calvin looked up and saw his enemy standing behind him."Hello, Calvin." Nathan gently removed his hand as he slowly walked to the other seat at the small round table. "It's been what, less than two weeks since your foolis
Chapter 29: Dangerous Games.
The next day, Frank and Tessa arrived at Harrington Tower together. Frank carried only his laptop case and documents while Tessa brought a large bag with her most important belongings. He carried both bags as she walked with just her handbag and phone."Never took you for someone who could live in a company dormitory," Frank said as they headed for the elevator. "You stayed hidden for months, and now you're moving in with company cleaners and female guards. You sure about this?"Tessa's eyes stayed glued to her phone."Tessa?" He said it louder.She jolted. "Were you listening?""Yeah. Look, I prefer being close to the action. I'm the type who runs straight to the studio when inspiration hits. For that to work, I need the best sound equipment available. Besides, after what happened that night, you wouldn't want me anywhere near your house."Frank laughed. "So you do know you were acting crazy?"Tessa smiled as they walke
Chapter 28: The New Plan.
Jason walked into the studio, drenched from the rain. He shook out his jacket outside before hanging it near the door. Abigail and Joe sat waiting; whether they'd predicted his return or were just venting about him, he couldn't tell. Abigail stood to speak, but Jason cut her off. "Don't feed me more lies. I only came back because I wanted to. I'm here to use you and Calvin to get what I want, just like you use me. No more positive expectations. From now on, our relationship is formal. I'm your asset, you're my boss. Clear?" Abigail took a deep breath, fighting the urge to argue. "Fine." She folded her arms. Joe looked at her in disbelief but stayed quiet. Abigail glanced at him; time to give Jason his seat. Joe got up, and Jason sat down across from her. From her bag, Abigail pulled out her laptop. After a few clicks, she turned the screen toward him. Jason's eyes widened. "The lyric video hit over 10 million streams in less than a day. Top comments are all demanding a music
