Liam was dressed in a shirt and trousers that didn’t fit him well, but he tried to look confident as he arrived at the party. He stepped out of the taxi, ready to walk into the event, but just as he was about to enter, a bodyguard stopped him.“Hey, you! Stop right there. Where do you think you’re going?” the bodyguard asked with a stern look.Liam smiled brightly, trying to stay calm. “Hello, I’m going right into the party,” he replied.The bodyguard looked at Liam with disdain, eyeing his poorly fitted clothes. “Dressed like this? Are you sure you haven’t lost your way?” the bodyguard sneered.“No, I haven’t lost my way. I’m here on invitation,” Liam insisted, standing his ground."Invitation?" the bodyguard asked, looking surprised. "Oh, I guess you must be one of the servers who didn’t come with the company bus. Wait right here while I call your boss from the catering company to come and identify you."“No, you’re mistaken. I’m not a caterer—Murphy invited me,” Liam said, trying t
Chapter 007
Liam stiffens as Ruby and Rowan step into the elevator. Ruby looks at Liam and Remi with disdain, noticing how close they are standing. Her heart tugs in her chest as jealousy flares up, but she quickly masks it with a sneer."Well, well, isn’t this cozy," Ruby says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I didn’t realize you had moved on so quickly. And to think you accused me of being unfaithful in our marriage—talk about the pot calling the kettle black. And with *her* of all people," she adds, spitting out the words as she glares at Remi.Remi stays calm, though Liam can sense the tension in her. She’s putting on a brave front, holding herself together despite the hurt Ruby’s words are causing.Though Ruby's words sting, Remi is determined not to give her the satisfaction of seeing her hurt.Ruby has always been jealous of Remi—the way she carries herself with grace and poise, and she knows Remi is a great actress.

Chapter 006
Liam looks into her eyes and feels an inexplicable attraction. They both stare at each other, caught in a moment that seems to stretch time. She coughs, trying to break the spell that has engulfed them."I'm Remi, and you?" she asks, adjusting her hair and tucking a few loose strands behind her ear. She looks up at Liam with a hesitant smile."I'm Liam. Nice to meet you," he says while nursing his sore side."Would you like to grab a coffee?" she asks, her voice still a bit shaky from the earlier ordeal. "I could use someone to talk to right now.”He nods. "Sure, that sounds good," he replies, trying to push aside the pain from the fight. "I could use a break."They walk together to a nearby café. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy, with dim lighting. They find a quiet corner and order their drinks.As they sip their coffee, Remi begins to open up. "It's been a rough few days. I was supposed to get a lead role in this big movie. I’ve worked so hard for it, and I knew I was the best fit. B
Chapter 005
Liam's heart tugged in his chest as he walked out the door, leaving behind Ruby and Rowan. He walked aimlessly without direction because he felt used by his wife. He had been the driving force in her acting career, and now he was being repaid in this way.But then, realization dawned on him, mixed with anger. He remembered that this was his home, and the ones who should be leaving were his cheating wife and her lover, not him!The sudden ringing of his phone brought him out of his reverie. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and placed it to his ear."Good news, sir. The new movie is set. The director has agreed to your terms, and your wife has been cast as the female lead," Lilia's voice came through.A bitter, cold laughter escaped Liam's mouth. "Too late, Lilia. We are already divorced."Lila, on the other hand, was thrilled as she voiced out, "Finally, this is great news!" Liam was taken aback by her reaction."What was that, Lila? You seem so happy about the news.""Nothing, si
Chapter 004
Rowan sends the picture to Liam to hasten the divorce. He senses Ruby's reluctance to end her marriage, so he goes to their house, knowing the picture will create a rift between them. He hopes to appear like a prince in shining armor, ready to protect her.“How dare you hit a woman like that, you fool who doesn’t know her worth?” Rowan says. Liam is taken aback by his sudden appearance. “You have no right to walk into my house and tell me what to do with my wife,” Liam argues.Rowan’s expression hardens. “I’m here because you clearly don’t understand the value of the woman you’re mistreating. Ruby deserves respect and love, not this kind of humiliation.”Liam’s face reddens with anger. “And who do you think you are to come here and lecture me? You have no idea what’s going on in my marriage.”Rowan steps closer, his face redden with anger. “I don’t need to know every detail to see that Ruby is being mistreated. You’ve shown her nothing but disrespect. If you truly cared for her, you’d
