Kylie and Cameron felt just as lost as everyone else. They had no idea who the superstar Elliot was talking about could be. Still, both of them had this strange, unshakable feeling. That person had to be Lydia.
It was always Lydia. She’d shocked them so many times before, always full of surprises, that hearing she was some music legend actually made sense. Lydia was just that extraordinary.
The fans finally snapped out of their daze. When they realized it wasn’t some newbie but an actual superstar, the energy in the room soared.
“Who is it? Who’s the queen of pop?”
“Is it Ivy?”
“Can’t be. I checked her socials, she’s out of the country.”
“Then who? No way… is it Lorelei?”
“Lorelei? No, seriously, is that even possible? If it’s really Lorelei, I’ll bow down to Elliot right here.”
“Come on, it won’t be Lorelei. She never does live shows and barely shows her face. Why would she come out for this?”
“Yeah, I don’t buy it either. Lorelei is the most talented and the laziest queen in the business. She’s basically a ghost. I can never find any fresh gossip on her.”
While the crowd buzzed with rumors and guesses, the lights suddenly faded. Music started to play, soft at first, then soaring. A voice, clear and ethereal, floated through the hall and wrapped around everyone like a spell.
The stadium instantly exploded in cheers.
“Oh my god, it’s Lorelei! It’s really her! My goddess!”
As Lydia sang and moved toward the audience, it felt like she was pulling everyone into a dark, enchanted dream. The moment hung in the air, almost unreal.
Then the crowd snapped out of it and the noise hit like a tidal wave—cheers, screams, applause, all crashing together. Glow sticks lit up everywhere, a sea of color rolling through the arena.
“Lorelei! Lorelei! She’s my secret goddess!”
“I can’t believe I’m so lucky! Two legends in one night!”
Kylie and the others could barely believe what they were seeing. They were so excited, they almost jumped up to wave at Lydia. Especially Kylie—Lorelei had always been her idol. Who could have guessed her favorite singer was actually her own daughter?
She grabbed Cameron’s arm, eyes wide with joy. “Did you see that? Lydia is Lorelei! Our baby girl is my favorite singer!”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
