The Rich Musician

The days stretched on, each one heavier than the last.

Olivia threw herself into work, convincing herself that distance was the best option. That stepping away from Adrian was necessary.

She avoided his calls. Ignored his texts. When she saw his name trending in the media—spotted paparazzi shots of him leaving a studio, attending an event—she forced herself to look away.

But the more she tried to shut him out, the more he occupied her thoughts.

And it didn't help that everywhere she went, people whispered about them.

"She hasn't been seen with him in days."

"I bet it was all fake from the start."

The rumors were relentless, but the worst part?

She had no idea what Adrian was thinking.

Would he even want her back if she changed her mind?

One evening, she sat at her desk, staring at the blank screen of her laptop.

She was supposed to be working on a new feature, but all she could think about was him.

The way he had looked at her that night—hurt, disappointed, waiting for her to make a choice.

But maybe she had wasted too much of it.

With shaking hands, she clicked the article.

And what she saw made her breath catch.

Their heads tilted close, their smiles easy.

A headline that suggested she was already forgotten.

Because suddenly, waiting didn't feel like an option anymore.
