On the day of the flight, Aiden and Liliana stood in the airport, waiting to check in.
Dressed fashionably, the handsome pair drew more than a few glances, even with their faces partially obscured by sunglasses. Someone couldn't resist snapping a picture and posting it to Facebook with the caption: [Spotted at the airport! A real-life power couple! Ugh, so jealous. I wish I had a gorgeous young boyfriend like that.]
Someone who followed celebrity gossip saw the photo and replied with a puzzled comment.
[The woman in this picture looks familiar. Isn't that the princess of the Hart family of Crownport?]
Not everyone kept up with the scandals of Crownport's elite, and a curious user asked below, [Who's that? What Miss Hart?]
[It's Liliana Hart! Ah, never mind, you wouldn't get it. I'm probably mistaken anyway. Liliana is engaged to Mr. Cooper; she wouldn't have a boyfriend!]
The photo itself didn't cause much of a stir online. But soon after, whether by accident or design, a deluge of other pictures flooded the internet—images of Liliana and Liam looking intimate at a restaurant not long ago.
Tabloid sites, sensing a juicy story, went into a frenzy, publishing articles to stir up drama.

These headlines quietly ignited a firestorm of online speculation. Gossip-hungry netizens eagerly discussed the news, digging for every hidden detail of the high-society drama.
Meanwhile, the subjects of the scandal remained completely oblivious.
Liliana stood beside Aiden, her hand resting lazily on the handle of her suitcase as she checked the time.
"Why haven't they started boarding yet?"
