“Soren? They’ve had reporters blowing up his agent’s phone all morning. It might be hard to get through right now.” The assistant said.

“So many people are reaching out?” Eliza asked.

“Yes.”

Clearly, this had turned into a much bigger mess than expected.

“Alright. That’s all for now. Let me know as soon as you get a hold of Soren.” She said.

“Understood, Ms. Rivers.”

Just as Eliza ended the call, her phone lit up with a call from an unknown number.

She hesitated but answered.

“Who is this?”

There was a long pause on the other end before Nolan’s low voice came through.

“Eliza.”

The moment she realized it was Nolan, she hung up without a second thought.

But before she could even put the phone down, it rang again.

Eliza took a deep breath and answered sharply, “If you’ve got something to say, say it.”

“I want to talk to you. In person.”

“I’ve got nothing to say to you.”

Her tone was ice–cold.

It wasn’t like I hadn’t given him a chance.

I’d waited all day yesterday–no word from Nolan. Nothing.

I had even looked for him when I left the Royal Hotel in Solara.

But he wasn’t there.

He had already sent Elaine away.

Sure, our time together had been short–just a few days. But the moment I agreed to be with him, he never once mentioned Elaine.

Like she didn’t even exist.

“Eliza, I didn’t mean to lie to you.”

“So you do know why I’m mad. You knew hiding it was wrong.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be calling her now.

“Give me some time. I swear I’ll make it right.”

“I don’t have time for this. And in case you don’t know, I’m engaged now. Don’t call me again.”

With that, Eliza hung up and immediately blocked his number.

Starting today, this number would never reach her again.

Then, just as she was about to put the phone down, another call came through.

She frowned and declined it instantly.

As she moved to block the number, it rang again.

Frustrated, she picked up and snapped, “I told you not to call me again!”

There was a beat of silence, then a familiar voice responded.”

“Wow, do I really sound that annoying?”

Eliza froze.

“Soren?”

“Who else did you think it was?”

“Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”

She added quickly, “I was just about to have my assistant contact you. Did you see the news?”

“I did.”

“What now?”

“They tried to blackmail me for money. I said no.”

“How much did they ask for?”

“14 thousand.“–

“You’re telling me you don’t have 14 thousand?”

Eliza sounded genuinely surprised.

A top–tier celebrity like Soren probably had millions in the bank.

“I do. I just don’t want to pay.”

“…I really don’t want your rabid fans dragging me into this.”

I had kept my connection to Missy a secret from everyone–including Nolan.

Soren chuckled softly on the other end.
