His cold fingertips traced behind her ear before pressing against the corner of her lips. "Is this really the best plan you could come up with?"

"Do you see any other options?" she laughed bitterly.

His dry thumb traced the shape of her lips. "Did it ever cross your mind that we might actually have a child together?"

"Ha." Her fragile throat bobbed as a raspy sound escaped. "Hassan, if I still entertained thoughts like that, I'd be hopelessly naive."

A faint, chilling smile touched his lips. "Let's try it. Let's see what kind of world waits for you when I'm gone."

His warmth left her, replaced by the freezing air of the room.

He nonchalantly unbuttoned his cuffs and walked toward the bathroom as if absolutely nothing had happened.

Natalie lay frozen on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

It didn't take long for Hassan's thinly veiled threat to materialize.

The dance troupe she had co-founded with Quinn was suddenly reported for illegally bribing Tomorrow TV for their collaboration.

Internet fame could build you up in seconds, but it could tear you down just as fast.
