“That’s not fair! You didn’t come, but you sent a gift for the baby. Even Emily has come to see me, she’s heavily pregnant!” Mia complained over the phone, her voice filled with playful frustration. Adam, on the other end, couldn’t help but smile at her words. 

“Mia, you know I’m a little busy with the movie promotions right now. I can’t come to Florence, but I’ll definitely see you and your little angel once the movie is out and I have some time for myself,” Adam replied, his voice soft yet apologetic. 

Mia and Alessandro had been blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and while Adam had sent gifts, his hectic schedule prevented him from visiting them. His upcoming movie was about to hit theaters, and promotional events had him buried in work. The old Adam, carefree and spontaneous, seemed like a distant memory. This version of Adam was all business, as if he was trying to bury himself in work to escape from everything else. 

“Okay, I forgive you this time,” Mia said, her tone softening. “But don’t forget to take care of yourself,” she added, a hint of concern in her voice. 

“Okay, ma’am,” Adam chuckled lightly. “Alright, Mia. I’ve arrived at the hotel where the event is about to start. I’ll talk to you later,” he said, ending the call. 

He was in New York City for promotional events and was scheduled to appear at the Seven–Star Hotel. As he looked out of his car window, he saw the media and fans gathered outside, waiting for him. But Adam didn’t share their excitement. He had no interest in engaging with anyone at that moment. Yet, he knew it was part of his profession to maintain a humble public image. 

Taking a deep breath, he opened the car door, stepping out with his usual undeniable charm and aura, the image of a movie star who knew how to navigate the spotlight even when his heart wasn’t fully in it. 

His bodyguard surrounded him and guided him inside. The hosts welcomed Adam Whitmore as the event kicked off. Adam remained focused and calm as he interacted with the media and fans, answering questions about his upcoming movie and letting them take pictures and selfies with him. Despite being surrounded by so many people, he didn’t really want any of it. Success, fame, wealth, and fortune all seemed insignificant to him now. He didn’t even know what he truly wanted from his life. All his achievements felt hollow, like lies, and he longed to forget everything–just to be himself, just to be happy for once. 

Suddenly, a wave of unease hit him, and his eyes scanned the crowd frantically. They froze when they landed on a familiar face in the corner. His heart skipped a beat. It was her. 

His wife. His Claire. 

“Please, Benjamin, can I take the day off? I’m not feeling well today,” Claire asked, her voice tinged with exhaustion as she leaned against the doorframe of his office. 

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a sly smile. 

“How can you ask for a day off when we’ve got such a big event at the hotel?” he said, his tone dripping 

with condescension.
