Xavier let out a low whistle as he lean forward and inspected the crystal maiden.

"Dude... is that the 'Crystal Maiden'? From the L’Artiste’s private gallery.? You actually splurged over a million dollars on a statue... to impress a girl? That's... interesting."

"Shut up, Xavier," Jasper snapped at him.

Zoey stared at the statue, her mouth slightly agape. "Jasper... this is... it's incredible. But... a million dollars? Do you have to go that extra mile? This is too much."

Jasper flexed, puffing out his chest while flashing her a charming smile. "Nothing is too much for you, Zoey. You're worth more than a million bucks."

Then, his eyes narrowed at Adam like a hawk cornering it's prey. "Well, well. What about you, Adam? What's the little gift you managed to scrape together for the woman you claim to be so worthy?"

Adam didn't look nervous or intimidated. He simply offered a small, calm smile.

"Well..." he began, reaching into the pocket of his jacket. He pulled out a small, elegantly

  • The leaked tracks

    Friday morning, the music world shook like a thunderclap.Kane Sanchez’s diss track “King’s Fall” dropped across all platforms without warning, and within minutes, social media went ablaze.Every social media feed was flooded with clips, hashtags, and reaction videos over the diss track. By noon, KingsFall was trending globally. The track itself was venomous. Kane didn’t hold back.In the first verse, he directly named Adam, mocking his rise to stardom as nothing but “industry hype” and “fabricated stardom bought with dirty money.” Then came the most shocking lines—he went after Adam’s parents. It was explosive because Adam had always been guarded about his family. Even after his breakout as a superstar, Adam kept his true identity hidden.He never shared photos, never mentioned them in interviews. This caused fans to build countless theories around the mystery of his family. Yet Kane jabbed cruelly at his mysterious family, calling Adam's mother a whore and his father, a deadbeat.

  • Diss tracks

    For the next couple of weeks, Adam remained silent.He did not respond to Kane Sanchez’s declaration of war. He did not post a retaliatory diss track, nor did he engage in a petty social media clapback.Instead, he carried on with his life as though Kane didn’t even exist. His silence spoke louder than any reply.On his social media pages, there was no trace of beef. Photoshoots of him modeling for luxury fashion brands filled his feeds—high-end suits, streetwear campaigns, and even fragrance ads. Fans flooded the comments with praise, while haters tried to bait him into responding to Kane. But Adam never flinched.Adam also posted clips from studio sessions: headphones on, nodding to beats, scribbling lyrics into a notepad, or laughing with producers in the booth. Sometimes Zoey appeared beside him, smiling proudly as she supported him. Other times, his label crew and Cleopatra Monroe were captured in the background, strategizing or vibing to new tracks.The message was clear.A

  • Kane's troubles

    The executives froze. Then, almost in unison, they burst into laughter—derisive, mocking laughter that bounced off the sleek walls.“You? Fire us?” one snorted, wiping a tear from his eye. “Boy, who do you think you are?”“You don’t have the authority,” another spat. “We made you. Without us, you’re nothing. You don’t fire us—we fire you.”“Ungrateful little brat,” one muttered. “You’ll regret even speaking those words.”Their voices overlapped in curses and scorn.It was Cleopatra Monroe who silenced them. She had been sitting quietly, her fingers drumming against the armrest of her chair, but now she rose straight to her feet. Her voice, smooth and sharp as glass, cut through their laughter.“On the contrary,” she said. “He can.”The laughter died instantly. All eyes turned to her.Cleopatra’s gaze swept across the room, cool and steady, before she continued. “The day Adam signed his contract with this label, Sullivan Group acquired and controlling stake in this entire operation. I

  • Fired

    Later that day, Adam's record label held a board meeting. Cleopatra Monroe sat at the head of the table, her hands folded neatly before her. The executives of Adam’s label filled the seats, their voices layered in frustration and fear. Adam leaned back in his chair staring at nobody in particular. He seemed unbothered about the tension clouding the room.Cleopatra cleared her throat and began. “We’ve all seen Kane Sanchez’s livestream. His call-out video has gone viral — tens of millions of views in less than twenty-four hours, and the numbers are still climbing. The entire industry is watching.”"This is a disaster," one executive, a graying man with a tight suit and a tighter frown, leaned forward. “Adam, you should never have made that speech at the award show. It was reckless. It directly insulted one of the most established figures in the industry.”Another chimed in, waving his hand angrily. “Kane Sanchez is a mainstream giant. He has millions of loyal fans and serious backing

  • The call-out

    The backstage area was buzzing like a hive. Reporters crowded around Adam and Zoey, microphones thrust forward as questions fired from every angle. Bright lights flashed, cameras rolled, and Adam, still holding one of his awards, answered while Zoey stood proudly by his side.Suddenly, the celebration was shattered by a furious commotion at the edge of the press scrum.Kane Sanchez shoved past a few staff members, his face red with fury, his chain swinging wildly as he stomped forward. His voice carried over the noise, sharp and venomous: “ADAM! YOU LITTLE SHIT! GET OVER HERE!"The room stilled for a split second before Kane lunged forward, but before he could get within ten feet of Adam, two large, impassive bodyguards materialized, stepping smoothly into his path and forming an immovable wall of muscle and black suits. They shoved their hands out, forcing Kane back."Get out of my way!" Kane snarled, trying to push past them. The guards didn't budge.Kane’s veins bulged with rag

  • The music award

    Adam’s jaw tightened. He glanced toward the cameras still flashing in their direction, then back at Kane. “This isn’t the place to have this conversation,” he said flatly. “If you wanted to talk about business, you could’ve gone through my manager.”Kane’s smile tightened. “About that… I’ve been trying. For months. Reaching out, sending demos, making calls. But your label? They shut me down. Refused to accept any collabs from me. So I thought, screw it. Why not ask you directly? So… what do you say?”A year ago, this offer would have been a dream come true for Adam. Back then, Kane Sanchez was his idol. He had dreamt of performing side by side with him.But that was before he’d seen the real Kane Sanchez.After Kane crushed his dreams, belittled him, and made him believe he’d never make it? The thought of collaborating felt like betrayal—to himself, to his journey, to everything he’d overcome.He looked Kane Sanchez directly in the eye, his mind already made up.“No, Sanchez,” Adam sa
