“Since we’re all on board, let’s move the stuff outside.”
Without further hesitation, they started hauling everything outside. Evie, trailing at the back, shot Watkins a knowing wink and a smile.
“You came up with a brilliant idea—making sure Milly doesn’t do all the cooking by herself.”
Cooking alone on a reality show was a thankless, exhausting task.
Milly had a massive fan following, and if they saw their idol burned out on screen, they’d certainly be upset. The other participants didn’t want to be criticized by them.
Watkins grinned.
“Milly helped me earlier, so it’s only right I return the favor.”
Evie looked at him with a mix of surprise and admiration. But as her thoughts turned to her own reasons for joining the show, she pulled him aside, away from the cameras.
“Even though you’re a nice guy, listen to me—do not, under any circumstances, get too close to Milly again. The number of fans who ship you two as a couple is already too high.”
Watkins frowned.
“It’s normal for fans to ship us after the drama.
Milly’s a wonderful person, so what’s the problem with me being close to her?”
He looked at Evie with a hint of confusion.
“I know you and Milly are good friends, but don’t you think it’s important to respect her freedom to make her own friends?”
“I hope you won’t say things like that again, Evie.”
Watkins stepped out from the shadows, setting the platter in his hands down on the lawn table. As his gaze lifted, he caught sight of Milly emerging from the villa, carrying more ingredients.
A rush of memories flooded his mind, and he couldn’t help but recall the first time he had seen Milly. Amidst a noisy crowd, she had walked straight toward him, catching his eye.
His emotions flickered but quickly vanished, and he made his way over to her.
“Milly, is there anything else I can help with?”
Milly shook her head, a small smile on her lips.
“Everything’s out. Once they’re marinated, we can start barbecuing.”
The production crew, aware that Milly and Watkins were the heart of the show’s appeal, had already ensured the scene was captured.
“Make sure this shot is perfect. That moment when they walk toward each other at sunset—it has to be stunning.”
At the director’s command, the post-production crew jumped into action, eager to work their magic.
The filming week seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and online, rumors about Milly and Watkins grew with each passing day. Fans were convinced they had undeniable proof of a romance.
The “Milly and Watkins” Twitter account pinned a particular video to the top of their feed.
In the video, Milly and Watkins, along with the other participants of the show, gathered around a crackling campfire, chatting, eating barbecue, and drinking. While chatting, Jerome led the conversation toward Milly and Watkins.
Jerome glanced at Milly, offering her a freshly grilled sausage. With a mischievous grin, he asked, “Milly, your drama with Watkins just wrapped up, and it’s been a hit with so many viewers. I’m curious—do you think the character you played is anything like you?”
Milly had never been one to speak much on the show, but her calm demeanor, the coolness in her expressions, and her dependable nature had earned her a devoted following. Jerome’s question brought all eyes to her.
The warmth of the bonfire illuminated Milly’s face, and for a moment, she seemed distant, lost in thought.
When she was still an assassin, she had never imagined a day would come when she would escape the darkness and find the one for her. She was nothing like the female lead in the drama, who pined for her lost love across countless lifetimes.
“Not at all.”
A soft smile touched Milly’s lips as the firelight danced across her face. She turned the sausage skewer in her hand gently, as if savoring the moment.
“When I find someone I like, even if it’s complicated, I’ll do everything I can to be with him. I wouldn’t let him slip away. I would recognize him in any crowd right away.”
She took a playful bite from the sausage, her eyes gleaming.
Evie, sitting beside her, watched her with a knowing look. She could tell Milly wasn’t just talking about the character in her drama.
Milly’s words sparked a million thoughts in Evie’s mind about her love story with Howard, a tale rich in drama and deep feelings. Evie was desperate to learn more about how Milly and Howard had ended up together.
Though Milly’s words held a sense of mystery, everyone around her felt the weight of something unspoken.
Jerome glanced at Watkins, who sat across from Milly, his eyes fixed on her.
Knowing the conversation couldn’t stay on that topic, Jerome quickly changed the subject. But the scene was already captured, and the fans couldn’t help but speculate. The rumors of a relationship between Milly and Watkins took on a life of their own.
The “shippers” flooded social media, urging them to make their romance official. Yet, despite the growing buzz, neither Milly nor Watkins spoke a word about it. The paparazzi caught wind of the drama and began to dig for the truth behind the rumored romance.
At Global Entertainment, Tatiana was making moves of her own. She was preparing to produce a game-themed drama, with Austen as the male lead. He was handsome and talented, and more importantly, he was far more affordable than any of the actors in her own company.

She was determined to create a hit, even on a tight budget. Just as Isabella had done before her, she believed she could turn an unknown talent into a star.
Her resolve was clear. She even personally coached Austen in his acting, but just then, Jedidiah walked in.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Tatiana told Austen, “You can go practice now.”
“Okay.”
Once Austen was gone, Tatiana turned to Jedidiah.
“What’s going on?”
Jedidiah lowered his voice.
“The paparazzo working with us contacted me. He has some information he wants to share with you. Should I set up a meeting, Miss Fernandez?”
Tatiana considered it for a moment before nodding.
“Let’s see what he has.”
Jedidiah arranged the meeting, and soon the paparazzo arrived to meet her.
Tatiana looked at him expectantly.
“What’s the news?”
The paparazzo smirked, pulling a photo from his bag.
“I have something interesting to show you about Milly, the top actress at Edge Entertainment.”
Tatiana straightened up, narrowing her eyes as she examined the photo.
It showed Milly standing close to a man, both bundled up for the weather, their posture unmistakably intimate.
“This doesn’t prove a thing.”
The paparazzo, unfazed, reclaimed the photo with a knowing smirk. He quickly pulled out his phone, navigating to a video in his gallery.
“If the picture isn’t enough for you, Miss Fernandez, perhaps this will.”
In the video, Milly had removed her mask and stood on tiptoes to kiss the man. Though his back was to the camera, it was evident he wasn’t Watkins. The clip then showed the pair entering a high-end menswear boutique, where Milly purchased several items for the man before they left together, with the man slipping into the passenger seat of her car.
Tatiana squinted at the footage. Though the man’s face wasn’t visible, something about him struck her as oddly familiar.
