Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

The excitement coursing through Tiffanie was like a jolt of electricity. As she scrolled through the messages, her head bowed, a sense of calm gradually settled within her. Mason had always been so kind, right up there with Maxie and Brielle. She really didn't want to hurt him. She wished he'd just take the hint and leave her world before things got messy.

With a sigh, she read the last message, then stepped into the villa's opulent embrace.

Surprisingly, the past few days had been calm. The online chatter still hummed, but neither Brielle nor Max paid it any mind. Right in the middle of this, Aubree and Ricardo's film hit the theaters.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Keiran took to Twitter to throw his weight behind the movie, and thanks to his support, the first wave of moviegoers packed the theaters.

Brielle hadn't been to Stellar Stage Entertainment since Ramey showed up at Premier Palace. It felt like she was constantly running into him.

Ramey was gentle, but Brielle couldn't shake this feeling of unease. Maybe it was the pregnancy, or Max's protectiveness that hinted he might not want the baby, making her see threats everywhere.

Still, Ramey hadn't done anything suspicious, just asked a few questions here and there. Gradually, her guard dropped, and now she barely noticed him, her focus glued to the computer screen, eager to see how their first movie was doing.

Dorsey International had played dirty, hiring trolls to bash the film before it even released. The internet was ruthless in its mockery. If the box office crashed, Stellar Stage Entertainment was in for a tough ride.

Brielle wasn't holding her breath-Aubree and Ricardo were newbies after all. But she had seen the movie and found it gripping and profound. By her standards, it was a solid contender for a blockbuster.

Her goal? Nine figures.

Brielle couldn't afford to relax, eyes fixed on the fluctuating numbers, occasionally calming an increasingly frantic Aubree.

With their debut film and the recent online ridicule, Aubree desperately wanted a box office hit to salvage the company's reputation. But more than that, she wanted to prove herself to Brielle. Brielle had promised to take her to greater heights-a promise Aubree held onto tightly.

At noon, the movie hit the trending charts thanks to a notoriously sharp-tongued critic who had a knack for trashing films. Even A-listers weren't safe from his biting reviews.

Everyone clicked in, expecting a thorough roast. But to their

the critic left just one line

"Nothing to say. Just go see it!"

Commenters, ready to join the mockery, were left puzzled.

"Blink twice if you're being held hostage."

"Did Stellar Stage Entertainment pay you off?"

"Careful, mate. The last guy who said that got sued."

"For the newbies-he's old money, never takes bribes, and doesn't do ads."

"I came here for the roast, and now you're telling us to boost their sales?"

The critic responded to the last one.

"Go. You won't regret it!"
