Taylah leaned back, resting her head on the soft pillow, her eyes slowly closing. Her heavy eyelids refused to lift again.

“Taylah…!” Arjan called out, relief flooding his voice, surprisingly.

She didn’t open her eyes, she didn’t want to see him. Not now. Not ever. Nothing about him felt genuine. Whatever kindness he showed just now was just a mask.

After all the torment she had endured, anything “sweet” from him only felt hollow. She hated him so deeply it felt like the hatred could tear he

    “How dare you come to me and ask for sponsorship after what you did to my girl? You were photographed with her, and you didn’t even take the picture down until it had spread like wildfire across the entire city.” Laurence shouted at Ivano, who remained silent, unable to act rashly in the situation. And right now, the only man with enough power to help him was Laurence. “I won’t make excuses, but I won’t let anyone hurt Taylah. You can believe me.” “I don’t see a future in you, Ivano. Do you think I didn’t run a background check on you? The whole city knows how stubborn you were when you cut ties with your father…” Ivano rolled his eyes in annoyance. What did that have to do with him dating Taylah? Laurence seemed completely unreasonable. “Because things went south in a way you can’t even imagine. You wouldn’t understand because you have a family that supports you. Meanwhile, I’m alone.” Laurence’s expression changed. He had an understanding family? Laurence scoffed sarcastica

    The morning wind made Taylah stir out of her deep slumber. When she felt the weight on her, she only then realised who it was. Ivano was practically strangling her in his sleep, yet he lay there peacefully. Taylah’s cheeks flushed as she took in the morning view of the man she barely knew. Last night had been so much fun. They had had dinner and gone for a walk, and even though Ivano had covered his entire face, he was still recognised by fans and chased by them. They had both ended up running through the streets, only to slip into a dark alley. There, they had burst out laughing without even realising it. She had never laughed like that before. It felt stupid and childish, yet so blissful. Later, they had a few drinks at Ivano’s so-called apartment and ended up sleeping together. She had never felt this safe with people she once knew. Ivano was different, she knew it instantly. But it was a bit overwhelming, since she had let a man into her personal space without truly knowing

    Taylah chuckled foolishly at the sight of themselves walking through the empty streets of Credence City. Ivano was dressed in a black mask, a jacket, and every possible layer that could hide his identity from fans recognizing him as the legendary gamer he was. “You look like a cinnamon roll wrapped in every kind of clothing imaginable.” “I just didn’t want us to be bothered by people who know me for who I am. This was the only idea I could come up with.” Taylah nodded as though she understood his situation, but she still couldn’t help chuckling at the older man. Her chuckle faded when his hand slipped between her fingers. Taylah had often imagined holding his hand and walking through the streets like any other ordinary couple, but the moment he actually held hers, a shiver ran through her body. “May I?” Taylah gave a small nod, a sudden surge of femininity crashing over her like a storm. “I grew up cycling around this city until I caught the attention of paparazzi and got assau

    She was shown to the front row by the staff, but Ivano was nowhere to be seen. Uncertainty crept in, she didn’t know how she was supposed to act here. Should she approach someone for guidance, or stay silent until the show ended? Again, those stares. They pressed against her, suffocating. This was why she had always disliked high society, the wealth, the judgment, the unspoken hierarchy that lingered in every glance. Just as her composure began to slip, a shadow fell in front of her. Ivano. He stood there, blocking her from view, as if he were quietly shielding her, protecting her from everything she wasn’t ready to face. She didn’t mind standing in Ivano’s shadow. It felt safe like he was taking the force of everything meant for her, blocking out the judging gazes that threatened to swallow her whole. “The show is about to start. Let’s go to our seats.” Taylah nodded, and the two of them settled in. Soon, the show began, models gliding down the runway with effortless grace. T

    “Hey… hi. There’s a fashion show in my city, wanna join me?” The message popped up, and Taylah sighed softly. She had clearly told him she would reach out once she made up her mind but it was always Ivano, trying to persuade her with one ridiculous excuse after another over the past week. “I got two reservations for us. It’s okay if you don’t want to…” Gosh—so childish. Taylah chuckled to herself, imagining how he must look while sulking over something so simple. Suddenly, something struck her thoughts. What the hell was she thinking? "Time and date?" She replied. To her own surprise, she found herself enjoying the chaos Ivano stirred within her. She had never intended to reply but in the end, she did. Ivano quickly sent the time, date, and the location of the venue. Taylah’s fingers moved swiftly as she searched for it, her lips parting in a soft oh at the sight of the upscale buildings standing tall and proud. It was the kind of rich neighborhood she would never usually ste

    “What if my past bothers him?” That was a hard question but Dicentra always had a way of answering with another. “Doesn’t he already know? You practically made headlines back then with the divorce.” Taylah fell silent. Of course, he knew. Maybe not every detail, but enough, at least a vague idea of her marriage. The point was, he knew. “Girl, don’t overthink it. Our paths were never beds of roses, you know that. Give it a try. And if it doesn’t work out, just walk away.” It sounded simple, almost too simple but for the first time, it felt possible. Maybe she should try… try to let someone love her, scars and all. “It’s a big decision for me, Di. But you’ve got me. Thank you.” “Silly, I’m always here for you.” They both laughed, the sound light and warm, before turning their full attention back to the food. Since Ivano had decided to pursue Taylah, it only felt right that she knew more about him. Dicentra sighed softly and began to share. “Ivano… he used to be just a part-tim

    Taylah stood by the window, leaning lightly against the frame, her gaze turned toward the sun as it poured a golden glow over her skin. Her clothes hung loosely from her body, quietly hinting at curves she no longer tried to hide.Weeks had passed, and her health, both physically and mentally had i

    The trio settled into the garden, sunlight filtering through the leaves as the maids served them coffee and light snacks.“We came by your house last weekend,” Louis said gently. “But they wouldn’t let us in. They said no one was allowed to see you.” His gaze lingered on her. “What’s going on there

    A few days later... Taylah stirred awake from her restless sleep, her eyes hollow, stripped of any spark. Bruises bloomed across her body, alongside wounds only half healed, the memories of the cruel days refused to fade. When the butler knocked, his voice was a soft murmur at the door. “Miss Tay

    Dia finally made up her mind and marched toward Taylah. As she got closer, she put on a confident expression."Well, look who’s here."Taylah’s expression turned cold. The last thing she wanted was to run into Dia—or worse, confront her. She didn’t have the strength left to face anyone, especially
