Amid the dazzling gala celebrating Natalie's Actress Award Night, where the world hailed her talents, an unexpected and dramatic twist took place. Natalie, the brilliant and aspiring actress, stood in the spotlight, embodying the enduring power of love, just as she did on the grand screens that made her famous.. While applause thundered through the venue, Richard, once the prince of her fairy tale, strategically chose this very moment to shatter her world. With calculated theatricality, he approached the stage and, under the dimly lit spotlight, served her with divorce papers. The gasps from the audience drowned out the applause, and Natalie's expression transformed from radiant to wounded and bewildered in an instant. Devastated by the divorce, Natalie immersed herself in her acting career, using her roles as a means to channel her emotions and find healing. During an audition for a prestigious theater production, she encountered Liam, a charismatic and brilliant playwright. His thought-provoking scripts and magnetic personality captivated her, reigniting her belief in the power of love. Just as Natalie's heart began to heal and she embraced the possibility of love anew, Richard returned, seeking forgiveness and reconciliation. To his surprise, he found Natalie had moved forward with Liam. Now confronted with an impossible choice, Natalie must decide whether to cling to the love that once defined her or open her heart to the future, leaving behind the pain and challenges Richard had once subjected her to. The question remains: Will she return to her ex-husband who had caused pains to her or forget and start a new life or together ?

"I thought you wouldn't show your face here after yesterday," she added."I know that's exactly what you want for me to cower in fear. But guess what? I won't let you have that satisfaction. I'm here to prove myself, and I won't let you or anyone else stand in my way. I've spent years honing my craft, perfecting myself. I am the master of my domain and you think I will stumble" Natalie said, staring her down. "I will take my leave, Mrs. Brindle Wood," she said with a grin as she walked away but then turned back around to face Brindle once more. "Oh, my bad, I forgot you both are not yet married for you to bear that last name. Is that ever going to happen? Looks like it's taking forever," she said, smiling, and then walked away.Brindle stood there, looking furious as she watched her leave. "You are so anno
"Ahhh, how dare he use his hands on me," he said furiously, slamming the door behind him as he stormed into his room. He went straight to the alcohol section of his mini bar in his bedroom and poured himself a glass of whiskey, his hands shaking with rage as he gulped it all in one sip."I won't let you get away with it, not this time, Ric-hard Wood, you think you have power now, I will make sure you lose everything, and you will bow to me," he said through clenched teeth as he gazed into thin air, lost in his thought as a memorial took him away."Who is that girl in the queue over there?" he asked, his gaze fixed on a young, beautiful woman with a striking presence."She was selected for the audition for the role of Naomi," a man from the production team said."Don't let her wait, sack all the rest. I want her," he said without hesitation."But...but sir, we have to—" the crewman started to say, but Mr. Whimper cut him off."You heard me right. I don't like repeating myself. Do as I s
"For now, we can't determine who will take the Female Lead position for this movie, but for the Male lead, Sébastien would fit the role," Mr. Noah said. "It's between you and whoever Mr. Whimper would bring, and we'll see who will take it from there." "But you know, Natalie isn't just any actress; she's a multi-award winner, one of the best actresses in the world. So, asking her to compete with whoever might not be the best move for our brand," Tony said. "This isn't a competition; it's a collaboration to help extend both productions," Mr. Noah said, trying to clarify himself. "It is! That is where you are getting it all wrong," a heavily voiced individual interjected as he walked closer. "It's a competition," the voice repeated as it drew nearer. "Ah, Mr. Whimper, you're here. Welcome," Mr. Noah said as he stood up and extended his hand for a handshake. "Natalie, nice to meet you again," Mr. Whimper said with a heavy laugh as he approached. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he
"She must have choked on emotions," Brindle said as she rushed to them. Liam raised his head to look up at her."Oh, I mean the water," she said as she forcefully smiled."Are you okay?" she asked as she leaned in to Natalie, her hands squeezing Natalie's tightly.Natalie nodded."Alright, you heard her, right folks? She's fine. Enough of letting her steal the show like a superstar. Let's continue with our lunch," she said with a mischievous grin."Before that ruins our day, I was saying how much in love we are with each other," Brindle said as she threw a smile at Natalie."Be careful with that soup, it's a little hot. You may burn yourself," Richard warned across the table as Natalie was about to take a bite of her tomato soup.Natalie nodded in appreciation. "We will soon be getting married," Brindle said as her words hung in the air.Natalie's heart skipped a beat, her gaze flickering to Richard."Oh, that's great news! Congratulations to you both," Liam said."Thank you," Richard
"Yes yes, she's coming, she's on her way, but she's a little stuck in traffic," Liam declared as he got off the phone, while they sat at a table in the restaurant. "Canada for you," Brindle murmured. "Thank you so much for what you're doing for Mrs. Kiara," she added. Liam nodded with a smile. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how quickly do you think she is going to recover?" Brindle asked. "8.5, ma'am," Liam responded. "Oh, I see," Brindle said, nervously smiling as she scratched the back of her head. "I just hope it's quicker," Brindle added, with a bittersweet smile as she turned to Richard and placed her hands on his. "I hope you don't make it," Brindle uttered in her head as she looked at Richard, still wearing a smile. "Are you going to stay here for a long time?" Brindle asked as she turned to Liam. "I can't tell for now. Mrs. Kiara's recovery will determine that," Liam said. "Oh, she's almost here," Liam said as a message popped up on his phone. "There she is," Liam said as
They hurriedly rushed out from the car and formed a line in front of the house, their weapons drawn and ready, some lifted in the air, ready to give a warning shot. The commanding officer walked a bit closer to the front, raising his radio to his mouth, his voice firm and commanding as he spoke. "This is the police! Come out with your hands up! We have the house surrounded. Do not attempt to flee or resist arrest," he said, then immediately went back to join his colleagues. The officers stood poised and alert, their eyes scanning the windows and doors of the house for any sign of movement. "Madam, I repeat, come out peacefully and surrender yourself to the authorities," the commanding officer repeated, his voice heavy with authority. After no one came out, the police commander looked furious as he instructed his boys. "Prepare to breach! Stack at the door and be ready to move by my command." "Get ready!" the police commander shouted out. Moveee!!! "Go! Go! Go!" he ordered, wit
"Why are you not bringing her to the house? What if I don’t like her?" Grandma Leta said as she followed Liam around his room while he got ready for work. "You are going to like her, don’t worry. Trust me," Liam said as he paused to put on his shirt. "Is she a pretty girl, Grandma Leta?" "She is a goddess," Liam said with a smile. "Well, can she cook?" Grandma Leta asked, frustration in her voice. "She's a professional chef," Liam replied, still smiling. "Can she cook more than I can do?" she asked as she followed Liam out of his room. "Slow down, na," Grandma Leta said, but Liam hastened his pace trying to escape from her. "Oh my, oh my, you are going to give me a heart attack one day," Grandma Leta said. "I won't let that happen," Liam said loudly, still not slowing his pace. "We need to talk, my love," Grandma Leta said "Not now," Liam said with a grin. "Here, I made breakfast for you," Aditi said as she stretched out a lunchbox to him. Liam looked at her and then at th
"Ms, Janet Jackson, the court acknowledges the hardship you have endured and the strength you've shown in seeking peace for yourself and your children. Everyone's gaze is fixed on the judge as he speaks. After careful consideration of the evidence and testimony presented in court today, I hereby grant you the final rights and set you free from the bonds of matrimony that once bound you to Mr. Johnson. May this decision bring you the peace and closure you seek. You are free to move forward with your life, knowing that justice has been served. As his final order echoed through the courtroom, Aditi stood there with a mixture of joy and disbelief. She glanced back as her eyes searched the crowd until her gaze landed on Grandma Leta, who was waving excitedly at her." "He kept cheating on me over and over again, and he would pretend while hiding it from me until it became a habit. He didn't hide it anymore; he would beat me if I entered our bedroom and caught him sleeping with another l
Her eyes locked with his, and as the torch she held in her hands slowly dropped to the floor, her gaze remained unbroken, her heart beating slowly but surely in her chest. "Natalie," Richard said, a slight smile gracing his lips as his eyes lit up with joy. He removed his hands from his pockets and took a step closer. Their eyes remained locked, with Richard standing just twenty meters away from her. In that fleeting moment, everything else faded away, leaving just the two of them standing in the midst of a world blanketed in snow. "Natalie," Richard whispered, his voice barely above a breath, a teardrop glistening in his eye as he ran towards her, his hair swaying behind him. With each step, his heart raced, while Natalie's hands remained stiffly at her sides, unmoving. As he drew closer, Richard's pace slowed, his breath catching in his throat. Their tear-filled eyes met. "Natalie," Richard whispered again with a smile, his heart pounding as he looked at her standing right in fr
