early was hosted at an upscale club called Dark Ivy, a location synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. Initially,

Director Young had selected a different venue for the celebration. However, a call from one of the film's largest

investors prompted a change.

This investor was none other than Ethan, who had specifically requested the party be held at Dark Ivy. The club,

owned by Collin Corp, held special significance for Ethan as it was the very place he had first met Lily in person.

While Director Young was slightly puzzled by the insistence, he knew better than to question or offend someone

of Ethan's stature. Besides, who could refuse the opportunity to host a private event in such a prestigious

location?

All arrangements for the party were meticulously handled by Ethan's team. Since it was an intimate gathering,

only the cast, crew, producers, and key investors were invited. A soothing melody played softly in the

background as the guests began to arrive, each marveling at the elegance of the venue.

As the evening progressed, most of the attendees had arrived, with only the lead actresses and Ethan still

missing. Then, a wave of hushed gasps swept through the crowd. Heads turned as Rose made her grand

entrance, her hand resting delicately on the arm of her fiancé, Ryan.

“They look stunning together,” someone murmured in admiration.

“Yes, Rose truly has the grace of a goddess, and her smile-it's angelic,” another guest remarked.

Such comments were echoed throughout the room as all eyes remained fixated on the couple. Rose's off- white

dress, adorned with intricate blue floral patterns, perfectly complemented Ryan's tailored white shirt and blue

blazer. Her angelic smile, paired with her graceful demeanor, captivated everyone in attendance.

While others sang her praises, Mia stood in a corner sipping her wine. She let out a mocking chuckle. “An angelic

smile, maybe, but with a heart as dark as midnight,” she quipped.

Mira, standing beside her, nodded in agreement. “Sister Mia, where's Lily?”

Mia glanced at the door. “She should be here any moment now,” she replied confidently.

As if on cue, the room fell silent, followed by a collective intake of breath. Lily entered the club. commanding

attention with every step.

Draped in a striking red dress, she exuded an aura of elegance and power. Her porcelain-white skin shimmered

under the soft lighting, making her appear like a mesmerizing enchantress. The dress hugged her figure

perfectly, highlighting her natural beauty while maintaining an air of sophistication.

Lily moved with a grace that left everyone spellbound, her presence like that of a delicate yet intoxicating rose in

full bloom. Even the most seasoned socialites couldn't help but admire her radiance, many whispering about

how effortlessly she outshone everyone else in the room.

Mia smirked, her earlier irritation replaced with pride. “Now that’s what you call making an entrance,” she

murmured.

Mira, equally entranced, whispered, “She’s stolen the spotlight without even trying.”

As Lily glided into the room, it becclear to everyone present that she was a force to be reckoned with— not

just as an actress, but as someone who could effortlessly command a room.

Lily's face glowed with a natural radiance, adorned only with a touch of red lipstick. Despite the absence of

If hearts had raced for Rose’s earlier entrance, Lily's presence pushed them to the brink. Her beauty wasn’t just

captivating-it was otherworldly

“She’s stunning-absolutely breathtaking, someone murmured in awe.

“My pulse is out of control. How can anyone look this perfect?” another voice added, barely above a whisper.

“She’s far more enchanting than her younger sister,” one guest observed, sparking murmurs of agreement.

“Rose’s charm pales in comparison. Lily is in an entirely different league,” someone else concluded.

These whispered praises echoed through the room, each one a dagger to Rose's pride. Envy twisted inside her

like a living thing. She had always hated being outshone, but the idea of Lily surpassing her was unbearable. She

could tolerate others being better than her-more beautiful, more talented-but never Lily. That was a line she

refused to cross.

Standing beside her fiancé, Ryan, Rose tried to mask her emotions.

“Where's her husband?” Ryan asked, his gaze fixed on Lily.

A flicker of regret passed through his eyes as he recalled their brief, staged relationship. He had never realized

her true beauty back then, and now, knowing she belonged to another, he couldn't help but feel the sting of

missed opportunity.

“She said he would be here tonight,” Rose replied,

lling her hand from Ryan's arm. A thought formed in her mind, and with a forced smile, she added, “Wait here for

As Rose approached, Lily was already surrounded by Mia and Mira, both of whom greeted her warmly.

“Lily, you look absolutely stunning!” Mia exclaimed.

“You're glowing! That dress suits you perfectly,” Mira chimed in, her admiration evident.

“Thank you both. You two look amazing as well,” Lily replied graciously, her smile genuine.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice broke through the conversation. “Elder Sister!”

Lily turned, her expression immediately cooling. “Do you need something, Rose?” she asked, her tone indifferent.

Feigning sweetness, Rose leaned closer. “I was just wondering-where is your husband? You mentioned he'd be

here tonight. Why isn’t he with you?” She chuckled softly, her smirk barely concealed. “I'm starting think | was

right. Your husband must be an old man if you're so reluctant to show him off.”

Lily’s lips curved into a small smile, her composure unshaken. “Oh, Rose, you seem quite eager to meet my

husband. Don’t worry, he'll be here soon enough. But letwarn you-I doubt you'll believewhen I introduce

“And why wouldn't 1?” Rose challenged, her curiosity piqued.

Leaning in slightly, Lily lowered her voice and smirked. “Because my husband is-"

The voice of Director Young interrupted her mid-sentence, pulling her attention away. She straightened and

glanced back at Rose.

“Well, Rose, talking to you seems rather pointless. You'll meet my husband soon enough. Whether or not you

accept who he is, that’s entirely up to you,” Lily said with a calm confidence.

Without another word, she turned to join Director Young, motioning for Mia to accompany her. Rose stood frozen,

left alone with her swirling thoughts, trying to decipher what Lily had just implied.
