Felicity observed Jonah as he limped onto the set with crutches, his body wrapped in bandages. There were heavy bags under his eyes, suggesting he hadn’t slept all night. His face was pale, and his eyes looked defeated.
This was surprising because when Felicity had encountered him the previous night, he had seemed perfectly fine.
Did he get hit by a car?
When their eyes met, Jonah flinched and quickly looked away, fueling Felicity’s curiosity even more.
“I wonder what trouble he’s gotten himself into now. Serves him right,” Rita muttered beside Felicity.
“What do you mean by that?” Felicity inquired, intrigued by Rita’s statement.
Rita hesitated before lowering her voice to a whisper. “I saw him trying to cosy up to you. Friendly advice: don’t let his innocent face deceive you. Stay away from him, he’s no good,” she warned before swiftly departing.
People like Rita, who had navigated through the challenges and schemes of the entertainment industry to reach their currant status, were privy to much gossip. They knew both the dark and light sides of the industry and had heard all the rumours. Rita had heard the whispers surrounding Jonah and knew he was trouble.
Meanwhile, the crew gathered around Jonah, expressing concern for his well-being.
gor jumped by some robbers on my way home, but I’m fine,” Jonah explained to everyone with a forced smile. “But don’t worry, I can still continue filming. My character is going to die off soon anyway.”
“How can you film in this condition? It’s highly inappropriate. You should focus on healing for now.” The director expressed concern. He worried that if word got out, it could reflect poorly on him. Wasn’t this a form of abuse?
Jonah, who was eager to finish the filming as soon as possible, insisted, ‘No, my character was seriously injured in the last scene and his injuries match mine. So, the bandages wouldn’t be out of place. I can do it but only that the pain would be real, not acting.” He laughed but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.
“If you’re sure, but don’t overexert yourself,” The director eventually conceded, returning to his post with a sigh.
Jonah was assisted to a chair where he watched Felicity and Rita perform their scene. However, Noah’s face kept haunting
him
After their brutal encounter the previous night, Jonah had been left unconscious outside his manager’s house, where he was eventually found and rushed to the hospital.
Waking up in the hospital hours after receiving several stitches, Jonah realised the extent of his injuries: sixty-four cigarette burns, sixty-four broken bones, and twenty-five cuts-each representing a girl he had violated and those that had ended
their life.
He couldn’t comprehend how they had managed to break exactly sixty-four bones in his body, but the pain served as a stark
reminder of his sins.
The sight of Felicity’s face now filled him with paralysing fear. Who was Felicity Orion? And how had she managed to connect with powerful people like that?
He had learned everything the hard way, and now he had to pay for his transgressions.
Meanwhile, Felicity completed her scenes with Rita without further incident. She and Lilian briefly discussed the modelling

Approaching the exit, she was suddenly blocked by Jonah. A wave of unease washed over her, causing her to instinctively step back
“What do you want?” She asked, her voice was cold..
Relax, I’m not here to cause trouble. I just wanted to apologise for how I treated you last night,” Jonah said, his expression filled with remorse. But Felicity remained unmoved by his words. Her heart had already hardened towards him. He was beyond forgiveness.
“Is that all? I’ll be taking my leave now,” she stated flatly, sidestepping him without a second glance.
Jonah briefly considered stopping her, but he ultimately decided against it. Her gaze was merciless when she looked at him. No matter what he did, his fate was already sealed.
As Felicity reached her car, she realised that both of her tires were flat. It was odd because her car had been fine that morning. Lilian had already left, and she was hesitant to rely on Rita for help, if Rita would even assist her.
With a sigh. Felicity resigned herself to hailing a cab along the road.
Suddenly, a dark Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Caster’s face.
“Do you need a ride?” he offered.
Felicity’s fists clenched in rage. This conniving ba**rd. There was no doubt in her mind that he was the one behind her flat tires, orchestrating this ‘coincidental’ encounter.
She wondered what he wanted to discuss that would drive him to such lengths.
“Thanks, but I’ll take a cab,” she replied, turning to walk away.
However, Caster refused to take no for an answer. Slowly, he followed her with his car. “Don’t be like this. We’re not enemies. Just come in. We need to talk.”
Felicity sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “We have nothing to discuss. Do you want to drag me into another scandal? What will people say when they see us together? You might be untouchable, but I’m not. So,
scram!
Caster frowned, still not accustomed to Felicity’s harsh treatment. Had their years of relationship truly meant nothing to her? How could all her feelings vanish so easily?
“Felicity, I really have something important to speak with you about!” He yelled.
Felicity noticed that the exchange was starting to draw attention from people on the street. In order not to get photographed, she reluctantly got into the car with him.
Fifteen minutes later, they found themselves seated in a private room at a restaurant. Caster had ordered an array of dishes, of which happened to be Felicity’s favourites. She couldn’t help but smirk; it seemed someone had done their
many homework this time.
Not one to turn down free food, especially when famished from filming, Felicity eagerly picked up her chopsticks and selected a sushi roll. “So, what do you want to talk about?” she inquired.
“I’ve heard some concerning news about you, and I’ve come to ask about your well-being,” Caster responded.
Felicity arched an eyebrow. “And what exactly have you heard?” she asked, simultaneously texting Noah her location in case

she needed backup.
Caster’s expression turned serious. “That’s what I wanted to discuss,” he began, “You’ve been sleeping around for money. Felicity, if you needed financial aid, why didn’t you come to me?
“I’ve been sleeping around? Who told you that?” Felicity asked casually, crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair.

Caster’s expression hardened. “Don’t play innocent. You left the Orion mansion and suddenly landed this big role, plus you. have a black card. It’s not difficult to put two and two together,” he stated, his tone softening. “We may no longer be together, but I still care about you. How about this? I’ll give you some money, you can end whatever arrangement you have made with your sponsor, and leave the entertainment industry,” He suggested earnestly.
