From Divorce To Dominance novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113
[Natalie, I love you. I believe in you.]
[Let’s go, Natalie & Leon. Show them what you’ve got.]
[Guys, get ready to vote for Natalie. Natalie must be number one]
[Natalie, stop dancing. She has been slacking off these past few days. What can she even perform? You are incredible, thinking everything she does is great.]
[You audacious fool. Just wait, Natalie will smash your face.]
Natalie’s show hadn’t even started yet, but the comment section was already buzzing with excitement. Suddenly, the entire stage went dark. Everyone fell silent. In an instant, a beam of light illuminated the stage. Through the bright white light, a man and a woman gracefully walked down from the lift hand in hand.
The man’s hair was a bit long, covering his sad eyes. He walked slowly, carefully lifting the dress of the woman beside him. He looked both gentlemanly and charming.
The woman had a graceful figure with a slim waist and a full chest. She wore a fitted black strappy dress that showed off her curves. Her exposed skin looked even more radiant and tender.
Her face carried a confident and flirtatious smile. Her long, wavy hair hung down her back, with some playful curls that framed her face, highlighting her delicate features and captivating eyes. When she smiled, it was enchanting. She was truly a looker.
In the VIP seats, Darren’s Adam’s apple moved up and down uncontrollably.
The chaotic comments quickly turned into unanimous admiration and amazement.
[You can always trust in Natalie’s beauty.]
[You can criticize Natalie for anything, but her face, her aura, and her figure are absolutely stunning, something I’ll never say a bad word about in my life.]
[It’s like the creator was biased when making her.]
[Natalie is beautiful without a doubt, but what is she going to perform? This isn’t a beauty pageant.]
Leon guided Natalie to the center of the stage. Suddenly, the single beam of light split into two, and the two of them separated, each taking a different direction, followed by individual spotlights.
Leon lowered his head to tune his saxophone, while Natalie sat by the piano.
[Natalie is going to play the piano? Wow! Is there anything Natalie can’t do? I’m so excited.]
[That made me laugh. Everyone’s showing off. Who would dare to play the piano without practicing for at least ten years? Natalie, you are really brave.]
[Natalie is a true high-class lady. Is it weird for her to know how to play the piano?]
[Natalie’s performance is a piano and saxophone duet. I’m excited about it. Leon’s sax is amazing. If Natalie’s piano skills aren’t good enough, it might be a letdown.]
[I don’t care. Natalie is multi-talented. No objections.]
The viewers and audience were all on the edge of their seats.

Because they heard it was Natalie’s turn to perform, a huge number of viewers flooded into the live stream, and the number of online users instantly broke through the one hundred million mark.
Various guesses, doubts, mockeries, and words of encouragement came up one after another. However, all these different voices were silenced when the first note played.
The piece began with a piano solo, starting as swiftly as flowing water, which tested the pianist’s skills greatly. But Natalie played it perfectly.
Her fingers danced over the keys, easily drawing everyone into the world she created.
The joyful tune carried hints of awkwardness and innocence, encapsulating the thrill and excitement of a young girl’s first love. A touch of unstoppable bravery vividly appeared before their eyes.
It almost brought everyone back to their own youth and the person who still lingered in those memories.
Just as everyone was reminiscing about their first love, a deep saxophone tune blended in, immediately followed by a lively piano melody.
Darkness, confusion, helplessness, and uneasiness, all of these emotions burst forth through the increasingly frantic piano notes. The rapid and intense pace, combined with Natalie’s brilliant and wild performance, left people almost breathless. It was like a woman who couldn’t get her beloved man, silent on the outside but screaming with all her might on the inside. Everyone could feel her despair and agony, but they were powerless, forced to watch her suffer alone.
Some people couldn’t hold back their tears in front of the screen.
Suddenly, a sharp note came to an abrupt halt, sending shivers through countless hearts. But soon, Natalie resumed playing slowly.
The complexity of the technique, combined with a sense of enlightenment, was evident in the soft yet unbreakable force of the melody. The woman’s surging emotions quietly grew and then faded.
With the piano stopping, the deep, calm sax, tinged with gentle sorrow, gently brushed over everyone’s hearts.
At that moment, Natalie slowly stood up and took an elegant bow with the last note. The big screen behind her lit up. [Title: A Fragment.]
[I’m rooting for Natalie with all my might. Natalie, you rock.]
[Oh my gosh. Natalie is really something. Even though there are no lyrics, I totally understood it. Let me cry for a while longer.]
[Women tend to fall deeply in love, often getting trapped by their feelings, sinking deeper and deeper. Love is their soul.] [What has Natalie gone through to create such a piece? My heart aches for her.]
[Natalie’s piano skills are incredible, all those techniques yet filled with emotion. It’s amazing. She’s a legend.]
[The best performance of the show. It has to be Natalie.]
Natalie and Leon’s performance had a powerful impact. Everyone felt like they experienced the whole journey of a woman’s first love, heartbreak, and ultimate rebirth.
After Wendy announced the start of the voting, many cast their votes while in tears.
Five minutes later, the screen showed Natalie’s total votes were 6,838,271. That was six times more than the second place, Alice. Undoubtedly, Natalie was the first place. Thus, the Sweet Love performance ended.

Darren only had eyes for Natalie. Her long hair and red lips contrasted beautifully with her sun-kissed skin. He watched her under the spotlight, her smile dazzling and captivating, a wave of bittersweet emotions swelling in his heart.
Darren wondered, ‘Did that song she just played express all her emotions from the past three years? Has she really let go now? Have I truly become just a fragment of her life?”
Darren clenched his fingers, half of his face hidden in the shadows, making him look even more gloomy and serious.
A minute later, he took out his phone and sent a message. [Lift Weights for an Hour Every Day: Your performance today is great. Is there a story behind that music piece?]
