After Elisa and Mark leave, Williams invite Alex to his office so they could talk.

William leaned back in his chair, his mind wondering as he regarded Alex. "You know, Alex, I've been thinking about something," he said, his voice casual.

Alex raised an eyebrow, his expression curious. "What's that?"

William leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. "Why haven't you spoken up about your ownership of the company? You're the majority shareholder, Alex. You have the power to make or break us. So why the silence?"

Alex laughed, a low, husky sound. "Oh, William. You know me too well."

William's eyes narrowed. "I thought I did. But this...this is something else. You're not exactly known for your predictably, Alex. So I have no idea why you're doing thus"

Alex shrugged, his smile still playing on his lips. "I know. But this is different. I want it to be like this."

William's expression turned skeptical. "Why? You're not exactly the type to shy away from the spotlight."

"And what makes you think she's got what it takes?" he asked, his tone curious.Alex's face lit up with enthusiasm. "We've both seen her perform, William. She's got a spark that's hard to find. A talent that's raw and unbridled. And she's got the passion, the drive, to make it big in the music world. I want to see her at the top, William. I want to help her get there."William nodded thoughtfully, impressed by Alex's conviction. "I trust your judgment, Alex. Let's bring her."

They were finally going to start their journey as recording artists, and they couldn't wait to see what the future held.As they entered the building, they were greeted by William, who was beaming with pride. "Welcome, ladies!" he exclaimed. "I'm so glad you're here. We're going to do great things together."William led them to a small conference room, where the rest of the Whitemoon Records team was waiting. "We're going to have a small introductory party to welcome you both to the team," he explained.Dianna's eyes widened in surprise. "A party? That's so sweet of you!"Elisa grinned, looking pleased.

    Elisa stormed into her apartment, slamming the door behind her. She was still fuming from the party, her anger and frustration boiling over. Her boyfriend, Mark, was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He looked up as she entered, concern etched on his face."Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, getting up from the couch.Elisa flopped down on the couch, running her hands through her hair. "It's just... ugh," she said. "That party was a disaster."Mark sat down next to her, putting a hand on her knee. "What happened?" he asked.Elisa launched into a tirade, telling Mark all about the party and how Alex had shown up and how Dianna had stood up for him. She told him about how humiliated she had felt, how angry she still was.Mark listened attentively, his face growing more and more concerned. When Elisa finally ran out of steam, he spoke up."Elisa, you need to let this go," he said. "Whatever beef you have with Alex, it's not worth it. You're an amazing singer, and you have so much talent. Don'

    Dianna was hesitant when Williams announced the competition. She didn't want to compete against Elisa, didn't want to create any tension or conflict. She respected Elisa, despite their differences, and didn't want to make an enemy of her.Alex walked into the office, whistling a tune. He was in a good mood, But as he approached Dianna's desk, he noticed that something was off. She looked upset, her brow furrowed in concern. "Hey, Dianna, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice low and concerned.Dianna shook her head. "I don't know, Alex. I just don't want to compete against Elisa. I don't want to make things awkward between us."Alex nodded understandingly. "I get it," he said. "But Dianna, this is a huge opportunity. You can't pass it up just because you're afraid of hurting Elisa's feelings."Dianna sighed. "I know," she said. "But I just don't want to create any drama."Alex put a hand on her arm. "Dianna, you're an amazing singer," he said. "You have a gift. And this competition coul

Alex sat beside her, listening intently as she sang.As she finished, Dianna turned to Alex, seeking his opinion. "What do you think?" she asked, her eyes eager for feedback. "Am I good enough to win?"Alex smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Dianna, you're more than good enough," he said. "You're amazing. Your voice is incredible, and your song is catchy and memorable. I'm sure you'll win the competition hands down."Dianna's face lit up with a smile, her confidence boosted by Alex's words. "Really?" she asked, her voice filled with hope.Alex nodded. "Really," he said. "I'm not just saying that because I'm your friend, either. I'm saying it because it's true. You have a gift, Dianna. Don't waste it."Dianna felt a surge of gratitude towards Alex. He had always been her biggest supporter, and his encouragement meant the world to her."Thanks, Alex," she said, her voi

    Dianna's eyes blazed with fury as she stepped forward, her hands clenched into fists. "How dare you," she spat at Elisa, her voice trembling with rage. "You think you can just insult Alex and get away with it?"Elisa sneered, her eyes flashing with malice. "Oh, I'm just telling the truth," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "He's nothing but a poor boy from the wrong side of the tracks. You're slumming it, Dianna." Dianna's heart went out to him, and she felt her anger surge."You're just jealous," Dianna snapped at Elisa. "You're jealous that Alex has talent and heart, and you have nothing but your daddy's money and a bad attitude."Elisa's face turned red with rage, and she took a step closer to Dianna. "You think you're better than me?" she snarled. "You think you're some kind of princess?"Dianna stood her ground, her eyes locked on Elisa's. "I don't need to be a princess to be better than you," she said, her voice cold and steady. "I have talent, and I have heart. And I hav

    That evening, Mark stood outside Elisa's apartment, his heart racing with anxiety. He had been thinking about their fight all day, and he knew he needed to make things right.He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Elisa answered, looking hesitant."Hey," Mark said, trying to sound casual. "Can I come in?"Elisa stepped aside, letting him in. Mark could see the tension in her body, and he knew he had to tread carefully."Listen, Elisa, I'm sorry," Mark said, getting straight to the point. "I was wrong to talk to you like that. I know I can be demanding, but it's only because I want the best for you."Elisa looked at him warily, but Mark could see the faintest glimmer of hope in her eyes."I know you do," she said. "But sometimes I feel like you're more interested in winning than in me."Mark felt a pang of guilt. He knew Elisa was right. He had been so focused on the company's success that he had neglected their relationship."That's not true," Mark said, taking Elisa's hand. "Y

    Mark rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He was getting tired of Elisa's constant drama and complaining. Every time he tried to talk to her about her music, she would vent about William and the tasks he was giving her."Can't she just focus on her craft for once?" Mark thought to himself.Mark decided to go the the bank and get a loan since Elisa didn't seem to be giving him any hope.As he approached the loan officer's desk, a sense of trepidation settled in the pit of his stomach. He had tired before but had been rejected, but he had hoped that his own creditworthiness would be enough to secure a small loan."Sorry, Mark," the loan officer said with a sympathetic smile. "We can't approve a loan for you right now. Your company's stock has been...unstable, to say the least."Mark felt a surge of frustration. Unstable was one way to put it – the stock had been in freefall for months, and his father was on edge."What does that have to do with me?" Mark asked, trying to kee

    Alex stepped forward, his eyes locked on Williams'. "Please, Williams, don't involve the police. Elisa's already lost everything."Williams' expression remained stern, but a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. "You're defending her after what she did?"Alex nodded. "I know she made a mistake, but she's still part of your company. Think of the scandal, the damage to your reputation."Williams' gaze lingered on Elisa's crumbling form before returning to Alex. "You're right. But she can't go unpunished.""I agree," Alex said. "But let's handle this internally. You could take away her privileges or something."Williams' brow furrowed, weighing the options. "Very well. I'll revoke my decision to help Mark contact the Gladiator group."Mark's eyes widened in surprise. "That's severe."Williams' voice turned cold. "Be lucky I didn't do worse. And as for you Mark, you've been blinded by his your ambition. You needs to learn wealth isn't just about power."Williams' gaze hardened. "You're

    Mark's face twisted in disdain."Diana, I'm shocked. Truly disappointed."Diana's eyes narrowed.Mark's voice dripped with condescension."Your association with...that... Alex."He gestured towards Alex."A lowlife, a degenerate, a bottom-feeder."Alex's face burned with humiliation.Mark continued, his words cutting deep."Someone as affluent as you, Diana, shouldn't be seen with trash like him."Diana's anger flared but she remained silent.But Mark wouldn't relent."Look at him, Diana.

He's a liability, a burden, a millstone around your neck."Elisa chimed in."Diana, don't be blind. Mark's right."Diana's gaze turned icy.Mark's expression turned ugly."You're tarnishing your

I'm the victim."Williams turned to her."Elisa, you're not the law. We can't just search someone without evidence."Mark intervened."We have reason to believe Alex is involved."Williams' skepticism was palpable."Reason to believe? That's not enough."Alex spoke up."I didn't take the ring. I swear."Williams' gaze lingered on Alex before returning to Mark."I won't let you railroad an innocent man."Elisa's fa

    Mark's mind wandered back to the humiliating encounter with William, his stomach churning with resentment."Apologize to Alex?" Mark thought, replaying the conversation in his head. "For what? For him showing up where he wasn't wanted?"The memory of Alex's smug expression and condescending tone still grated on Mark's nerves."Why did I let him push me around like that?" Mark wondered, feeling a surge of anger.He recalled Alex's smirk, the kid's knowing glint that said, "I've got the upper hand." Mark's frustration boiled over."What did I do to deserve this?" Mark asked himself, feeling victimized.The apology still lingered in his mind, a bitter taste he couldn't shake."I shouldn't have done it," Mark thought, regret gnawing at him. "I should have stood my ground."Mark's thoughts swirled with "what ifs" and "maybes," but one thing was certain: he wouldn't let William or Alex walk all over him again.The pain of that apology still lingered, but Mark vowed to transform it into fuel

    James's expression turned stern, his voice firm. "Mark, Mark, Mark... You're so dumb. Storming out like that? What were you thinking?"Mark's face reddened, defensive. "They questioned my integrity, Dad. Called me a scammer."Mr sanders shook his head, disgust etched on his face. "That's exactly what I mean. You let your emotions control you. A business owner has to take risks, absorb insults, and keep moving forward."Mark's anger resurfaced. "You don't understand, Dad. They were disrespecting me."James's voice rose. "Disrespect? Ha! You think that's disrespect? Wait till you're really tested. Wait till someone tries to sabotage your business or steal your ideas."Mark's eyes widened, taken aback by his father's ferocity.Mr Sanders continued, "You need to toughen up, Mark. Develop a backbone. No one owes you success. You have to fight for it."Mark's defensiveness began to fade, replaced by a hint of understanding.James's expression hardened. "Look, son.

    Mark stormed out of his house, still fuming from his encounter with Alex. He couldn't believe he'd apologized to that...that...slum kid.As he walked to William's house, his anger simmered.William answered the door, a look of concern etched on his face. "Mark, what's wrong?"Mark brushed past him. "You said you knew someone who could help me with the Gladiators Group. When are you going to give me their contact?"William ushered Mark into the living room. "Let me check on that."Mark paced around the room, his impatience growing.William excused himself, disappearing into his study.Behind the closed door, William dialed a number, a sly grin spreading across his face."Hey, Sam," he said, using a fake name. "I need a favor."The person on the other end, actually William's old friend, Tom, played along. "What's up, Will?"William explained the situation.

    The next day, Dianna walked into the recording studio, feeling energized after a productive morning. She finished laying down the vocals for her new song and was packing up her things when Alex approached her."Hey, Dianna," Alex said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "You sounded amazing in there."Dianna smiled, feeling a flush rise to her cheeks. "Thanks, Alex."Alex hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you like to grab dinner with me after work? Maybe I can show you a different side of town."Dianna's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Alex to ask her out."Sure," she said, trying to sound casual.Alex grinned. "Great. I'll pick you up at 5."As the day drew to a close, Dianna found herself counting down the minutes until their dinner date.At 5 sharp, Alex arrived at her doorstep, looking handsome in a simple white shirt and jeans."Ready?" he asked, opening the car door for her.Dianna nodded, feeling a thrill of excitement.As they drove through the city, the
