Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny

She hadn’t changed her name or gone under the knife. The incidents from her past weren’t a secret, and she knew that once she stepped into the limelight, those skeletons would tumble out of the closet and be used against her. She had to brace herself for the inevitable.

As the filming of “Shadows of the Past” was wrapping up, it was time to start the buzz. Quintessa realized that hiding was no longer an option, And it was about time for the Youngs to know that she was back in

town.

Reuben Laurier leaned in and caught a glimpse of Quintessa’s phone screen, where she was scrolling through Snow’s Twitter feed.

“Quinn, you’re into Great Snow Jackson too?” he asked.

She nodded, “Yeah, I really enjoy his music.”

“Me too. The social media’s been buzzing about him having a girlfriend lately.”

“Yeah, I saw that.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Hey, this photo. Why does it look so familiar?”

Director Cooper called out from a distance, “Quinn, Reuben, get ready for a re–shoot!”

With their conversation cut short, they both stood up and hurried over.

Quinn was looking for the right moment to tell the Youngs and everyone else that she was back. And that moment presented itself just two days later at the grand launch of the movie “Whispers in the

Wind.” It was a live–streamed event with a massive setup, involving the director, producer, and all the lead actors.

Originally, Marian Higgins was set to be the female lead, but after Tyrone intervened, Quinn took her place. She was now the star actress, and Violet had made sure she was prepared.

Quinn had usurped Marian’s role, but she didn’t feel guilty. That’s just how the industry worked. If you had the chops, you’d take back what was yours.

“Whispers in the Wind” was a period epic focusing on the turmoil of a nation and family feuds–a film with a positive moral compass. Female roles were scarce, and though Quinn’s screen time was limited, she was still the leading lady–the single vibrant bloom in a field of green. At the press conference, she was the highlight.

Besides, the event was a significant promotional push. The male actors, representing different generations, were the hottest names in showbiz: box–office stars, acting powerhouses, and heartthrobs, each with a massive fan following that could circle the globe twice over.

Quinn and Violet agreed that this was the best chance to reintroduce Quintessa to the public eye.

For this, Violet pulled out all the stops to craft a stunning dress for Quintessa to make a spectacular impression.

Tyrone seemed genuinely vexed these past few days and hadn’t contacted Quinn. It’s not like she had the time to bother with him; she was too busy with filming and preparing for the launch.

Tyrone’s life had been painfully mundane lately: work, drinks at the Luxe Haven Club, rinse and repeat. Utterly bored, he was the epitome of ennui.

No one knew what he was plotting, but James sensed his secretive aura, and got curious about what he

was up to.

Outside, spring was in full bloom. Tyrone, listening to James‘ voice, was lost in thought; his mind was a whirl of ideas, all revolving around one name–Quintessa.

Suddenly, Tyrone let out a sardonic laugh, which startled James into silence.

With a wicked smirk, Tyrone muttered to himself, “I’ll let you enjoy a few more days of peace.”
