Chapter 4- Ryder is jealous about her being with another men

A sleek black luxury car pulled up in front of one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. The moment it stopped, flashes from cameras lit up the surroundings.

Reporters, photographers, and media outlets were all waiting eagerly, ready to capture the return of the youngest and most talented fashion designer in the industry—Queen SM.

As soon as the car door opened, the cameras clicked rapidly. Silver Moe stepped out, looking stunning in her stylish outfit, her confidence shining brighter than ever.

Noah Centineo and Abraham Voles flanked her on both sides, acting like her personal bodyguards.

"Queen SM is back!" one reporter shouted.

"Silver Moe returns to the fashion world!" another one announced excitedly.

More pictures were taken as Silver walked gracefully into the restaurant, ignoring the chaos outside.

Inside the restaurant, a loud cheer erupted.

Silver's old friends—the top designers and influencers of the industry—were waiting for her.

She looked around and saw Lucas Gray, Ethan Rivera, Adrian Scott, Daniel Frost, Leo Carter, Marcus Ray, Hunter Blake, Vincent Cole, and more.

"SILVER!!!" they all screamed in excitement.

Silver screamed back, running toward them like an excited child.

For a moment, it felt like they were all back in university again.

They pulled her into a group hug, laughing loudly.

"You're still the youngest among us, so we'll continue treating you like a baby!" Lucas teased.

Silver pouted. "I'm not a baby!"

Abraham laughed. "Oh yes, you are. And you always will be."

Leo ruffled her hair. "It's so good to have you back, Silver."

Silver felt a warmth in her heart. These were the people who truly loved and cared for her.

The news of Silver's return spread like wildfire across the internet.

'QUEEN SM RETURNS! HER FRIENDS THROW A GRAND PARTY TO WELCOME HER BACK!'

Each of her friends posted pictures of her on their social media pages.

Their fan pages had over 15 billion followers combined, and in just minutes, Silver Moe's face was everywhere.

In the comic, Silver had the largest following in the industry, but she had deleted her account because of Ryder.

Now, sitting inside the restaurant with her friends, Silver picked up her phone and smiled.

"Time to take back what was mine," she whispered.

She quickly created a new social media account under her original name—Queen SM.

Then, she took a beautiful group selfie with all her friends and posted it.

The caption read: #WelcomeBackToTheIndustry

Within two minutes, the post hit 1 million likes and 200,000 comments.

People were going crazy.

"Where have you been all these years?!"

"We missed you, Queen SM!"

"Fashion isn't the same without you!"

"Are you making a comeback?"

Silver leaned back in her chair, watching the numbers climb.

She was back.

And this time, she wouldn't let anyone take her down.

Ryder was in his office, reviewing documents, when his assistant suddenly rushed in.

"Sir! You need to see this!" the assistant said, panting.

He handed Ryder a tablet, showing a video of Silver and her friends at the restaurant.

Ryder's eyes darkened as he watched.

In the video, Silver was laughing and jumping around with her male friends. Daniel Frost was even feeding her like a baby.

The comment section was on fire.

"Ryder is an idiot! He chose Cici over this goddess?"

"Silver Moe is Queen SM?! No wonder she was too good for him!"

"Ryder must be crying right now."

"Cici has nothing to offer him. Silver was the real treasure."

Ryder's jaw clenched.

He had always thought Silver was just a gold digger.

He never knew she was the Queen SM—the very designer he had been desperately searching for to cooperate with.

His hands tightened into fists as he stared at the screen.

Seeing Silver surrounded by all these men, smiling and enjoying herself, made him jealous.

He had never felt this way before.

If this had been before, Silver would have been standing outside the company, begging him to come and eat the food she had cooked for him.

But now?

She was out there, being pampered by the most powerful men in the fashion world.

His assistant cleared his throat. "Sir, should I—"

"Leave," Ryder said coldly.

The assistant quickly left, closing the door behind him.

Ryder opened his laptop and searched for 'Queen SM'.

Immediately, her social media page popped up.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw she was LIVE.

Silver was sitting comfortably on a sofa, holding her phone and laughing.

"I'm really so happy!" she said.

"Why?" someone off-screen asked.

Silver smiled. "Because all my male friends still treat me like a baby."

The men in the background cheered.

"We will always spoil you, Queen!" Noah laughed.

Abraham smirked. "Once our little princess, always our little princess."

Ryder gritted his teeth.

Then, suddenly, a woman walked into the live stream.

She was the only female designer in the industry since Queen SM disappeared four years ago.

Her name was Natalie Evans.

The moment she saw Silver, she ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Silver! Oh my God! I missed you so much!" Natalie cried.

Silver hugged her back and laughed. "Did you miss me, or did you miss your competition?"

Natalie pouted. "Both! The fashion world is boring without you! I kept calling for you to return, but you never listened!"

Ryder froze.

He remembered now. Natalie Evans had mentioned Queen SM in almost every interview over the past four years.

She would always say:

"Queen SM, if you're watching this, please come back. The fashion world needs you."

But no one ever knew where Queen SM was.

And all this time, she was right beside him.

His phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the screen.

Cici.

For some reason, he felt irritated.

Ryder ended the call and tossed his phone to the side, feeling irritated.

A second later, he picked it up again and called Silver.

She ended the call immediately.

His eyes darkened.

He kept watching her live stream.

He called again.

This time, all the men around her noticed and looked angry.

"Who is that?" Noah asked, frowning.

Silver glanced at her phone and rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, it's Ryder again."

Abraham scoffed. "Ignore him. We're having fun."

Silver smirked and ended the call again.

Then she stretched her arms. "I'm thirsty."

Immediately, Leo Carter handed her a bottle of water.

Silver took a sip and smiled. "Thanks, Leo!"

Hunter stood up quickly. "Wait! Water is boring. Here, have some fresh orange juice."

He placed the juice in front of her like a gentleman.

Silver laughed and took the orange juice. "You guys spoil me too much!"

The comments section exploded.

"QUEEN SM DESERVES A KING, NOT A CHEATER!"

"DIVORCE RYDER AND MARRY ONE OF THEM!"

"Ryder is useless. Any of these men are better!"

"She is living her best life without Ryder!"

Silver chuckled at the comments and said, "I would love to divorce Ryder, but guess what? He refuses to sign the papers!"

More insults flooded the chat.

"RYDER IS A LOSER!"

"He doesn't deserve you!"

"He's a fool for choosing Cici over you!"

Ryder cursed under his breath, gripping his phone tightly.

His face turned dark as he read the comments.

His blood boiled seeing how happy Silver was—with other men.
