Trouble Came Without Warning


    I saw the set piece copsing toward Harmony. I yelled and rushed to pull her away, but she pushed


    my hand away stubbornly. The structure came crashing down, and we both got caught in it.


    Thankfully, I stood a bit to the side, so I avoided being crushed. However, Harmony was a bit dyed


    in her struggle, and the board fell on her leg when she fell.


    On the rooftop, the scattered guests were shouting from a distance, too scared toe closer.


    Someone

    I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. However, I was afraid of more pieces falling, so I gritted my teeth and


    tried to get up. At the same time, I tried to help Harmony.

    Then, a crowd rushed onto the rooftop. Harmony was still crying. ‘My leg hurts… As…”


    A strong figure came toward us. I meant to step aside for them to check on Harmony first, but I moved,


    and a sharp pain made me fall to the ground.


    As I looked up, I saw his deep, icy eyes staring at me. After a while, he crouched and asked Harmony,


    “Are


    you okay?”


    “It hurts! My leg…” Harmony instinctively pointed to her trapped leg.


    He swiftly moved the debris and gently touched her leg. Harmony whimpered, “As… it hurts so


    much.”


    As scooped Harmony up and carried her away without even ncing at me, who was still on the


    ground. He didn’t even ask if I was okay.


    My heart ached, and the pain felt deep. I tried to get up, but Ryan was there and lifted me up. “Chlo,

    cried it out and your foot heals! We’ll start a new journey!”


    Yeah. Everything hade to an end. As had given me a chance, helped me protect my interests,


    and then abruptly ended the game without warning.


    He decided everything, including the right for me to know what was happening. He may have thought I


    was just a pawn. It seemed my role was no longer serving its purpose.


    The next day, the headlines read, “Injured at the party, CEO of ATL Empire’s girlfriend rushed to the


    hospital, suspected revenge by the envious female boss of a rivalpany.


    The headline continued with a more sensational twist, ‘Envious female boss strikes, injures celebrity

    The news spread like wildfire, with pictures and evidence, including one of me sitting disheveled on the
