My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

“I fell for Xan at first sight. Spending time with her on set only deepened my attraction to her genuine, straight–talking, sunny personality. Too bad I was a step too late. She’s already taken. But it’s okay.” 

He said, turning to look at the man surrounded by a chilly aura in the VVIP seats, his smile slightly provocative, as if challenging him, ready to avenge the fatal blow in the dressing room that day. 

*I can wait. Should there be a rift between them, or if Xan starts feeling bored…ll make my move. Just don’t give me the chance.” 

No, no, no! There wouldn’t be any problems, and she wouldn’t get bored! 

Xanthea looked at the man below, his face stem, his eyes sharp as knives, and shook her head vigorously. It wasn’t clear if she was explaining to him or to the audience. 

“Benjamin’s just joking, folks! Don’t take it seriously!“. 

Benjamin said, “I’m serious.” 

[LOL, Benjamin openly challenging his rival, what a scene, so thrilling!] 

[Movie King, you’re so bold, big respect for you, but seeing Mr. Lockwood jealous is just too funny LOL, that look could kill!) 

[Xan’s backing down, trying to explain to her hubby she’s not been flirting around!] 

[Too late, looks like Xan can’t dodge the upcoming punishment at home] 

[What punishment? Are we talking about the heavy–duty kind?] 

[Movie King’s really great too, too bad Xan’s with Mr. Lockwood, otherwise, I’d matchmake her with him! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Just a little interlude! As Benjamin left the stage, the host laughed, trying to smooth things over, “Beauty attracts gallantry, just shows how charming our Celestial Goddess is!” 

Xanthea was like, “?” Was he fanning the flames? Judging by Orion’s look, she was already feeling pain. 

Female Host went on, “Next, let’s invite Xanthea to give her acceptance speech!” 

The lights in the venue dimmed again, leaving only a bright spotlight on her, the center of everyone’s attention. 

Xanthea silently wiped imaginary sweat from her forehead, adjusted her emotions, and picked up the Celestial Goddess trophy. 

“First off, I’m incredibly grateful to the awards committee and my fans for this honor, especially seeing everyone online staying up late to vote, it truly touches me, and I feel so fortunate to have such a loving fanbase. 

Secondly, I want to thank the Realm of Illusions team, Director Smith, Elijah, and all the crew for their patience, dedication, and selflessness. Without them, there would be no Phoenix, and no Celestial Goddess award for me today. 

Lastly, my family, my parents, Ethan, Samuel and Uncle, for their constant, silent support and for always backing my decisions!” 

Samuel, not hearing Orion’s name yet, grinned, almost ready to show all his teeth. Clearly, he was the most important person in Xan’s heart! 

“Playing Phoenix was special to me; she not only taught me a lot but also led me to the most important person in my life. Il always cherish that.” 

As she spoke, her expression turned serious, “Next, I have two announcements to make.
