Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 536

Hattie walked the red carpet by herself, eager to see if Firelight would receive any awards this year.

Once inside the venue, Violeta's seat was in the front row, with Hattie and Tracy seated behind her.

As Violeta made her way to her place, she cast a glance back at them. It felt strangely empty without seeing a familiar face in the crowd.

Zelena, meanwhile, was relegated to watching the event via live stream from Arlowand.

The ceremony began, and the awards were soon underway.

The excitement peaked when two seasoned actors took the stage to announce the major categories.

"And the award for Best Actress goes to ... "

Hattie and Tracy, nervously watching from their seats, turned their attention to Violeta in the front row.

"Violeta White for 'Nirvana and Rebirth'!"

The theme music from 'Nirvana and Rebirth' played as Violeta rose from her seat. She made a graceful bow before ascending the stage to collect her award.

For her role in 'Nirvana and Rebirth', Violeta won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the second time.

Given the show's success at awards ceremonies across Artea, it was no surprise she won again.

She accepted her trophy with poise and delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech.

The series had elevated many careers, including Brandon's, whose song won Best Music Award the previous year.

In the audience, Hattie clapped with a hint of sarcasm.

Not only did her own Firelight miss out on awards, but Tracy's 'The Rose' also went home empty-handed.

With two prestigious awards now to her name, Violeta's status as a leading actress was firmly established.

Before the ceremony ended, Violeta's second Best Actress Award became a trending topic.

Photos of Violeta holding her new trophy flooded social media.

In the car, Violeta, thrilled with her win, tweeted her celebration. Her fans were overjoyed.

Many of her followers had supported her since her debut in 'The Quiet Ode', and witnessing her rise to such heights was deeply moving. Supporting the right star felt like having a beacon guiding their way.

By the end of the month ...

Hayden had been transferred to the Ministry of Public Security, and Violeta was preparing to start filming.

The Golden Age' was set to be filmed in Jobus.

Violeta arrived in Jobus ahead of the shoot.

The script follows a group of thieves who arrive at a train station and check into a hotel, with scenes of their thefts and background story interwoven. The filming locations would extend beyond Jobus, and the production was expected to span two seasons.

Perhaps only a portion of the shots taken within two weeks would be used in the actual show.

Having never worked with Mason before, Violeta was unsure what kind of director he would be, but she was ready to collaborate as much as possible.

Two days after Violeta's arrival, Chad appeared in Jobus.

When Violeta saw Chad again, she thought she had mistaken him for someone else. Chad was a skinny man, but when shooting his last film, 'The Island', he had to buff up for the military character.

Unexpectedly, he had lost significant weight since his last film, with more pronounced cheekbones. His hair was shorter than it had been during 'The Island', and he even had a bald patch at the back of his head, which suited the character perfectly.
