So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster together!

Xavier’s words hung in the air like a challenge. Leia’s mind raced, refusing to believe his audacity. He had the nerve to claim they weren’t actually broken up? After everything? She had just told him she wanted nothing to do with him—that she remembered nothing of their past, as if that might make it easier to move forward. But Xavier, with all his arrogance and confidence, simply refused to let her go.
“Couples only break up if they stop loving each other,” he said with infuriating certainty. “But you and I care so much about each other. This is just a small argument, we haven’t broken up yet.”
Leia’s eyes blazed with anger. How dare he twist their pain into something so trivial? She shot up from her seat, her heart pounding somewhere between fury and something she refused to acknowledge. “Egomaniac!” she spat. “I’m not in love with you anymore. You’re just a disloyal scumbag, and I have no respect for you at all. You’d better go back to your beloved Shirley. Bye!”
She stopped herself from splashing coffee in his face—barely. Her pride demanded she walk away with some dignity. So she turned, stormed out of that café, and left Xavier behind with nothing but her ultimatum and the bitter taste of unresolved history.
But as much as Leia tried to convince herself she was over him, the truth was far messier. She had been spending time with Santiago Dalton—the popular yet reclusive top actor who had quietly captured her attention. And today, coincidentally, she was on her way to finalize her contract with him at an entertainment company.
Santiago was a rare bird in the entertainment world. He never showed up on variety shows, especially not fluffy ones without substance. So it was shocking news that he had agreed to star in a love reality show. But there was a catch—one single condition. He would only join if Leia was his partner.
Leia’s heart fluttered just thinking about it. But she couldn’t understand why such a reserved star would choose her. Still, there was something gentle in his gaze that made her forget all her worries—at least for a moment.
After leaving the café, she pulled out her phone and called him. “Hi, Mr. Dalton. Where are you? I’ve just left the hospital.”
“Turn around, Miss Osborne,” came Santiago’s warm voice through the speaker.
Leia’s breath caught. She turned slowly and found him standing beneath a canopy of lush green leaves. He was wearing a simple mask, but his sharp, soulful eyes were fixed on her, intense and tender. The sight of him sent her heart galloping, and she felt a blush creep across her cheeks.
“Mr. Dalton!” She called out, her eyes sparkling as she trotted over, suddenly forgetting all her troubles. Beneath that tree, hidden mostly by the shadows, Santiago looked even more handsome than any screen idol. It was as if the world had stopped just to spotlight him—and Leia was mesmerized.
But her focus came at a cost. She completely failed to notice the motorbike racing toward her.
Santiago’s eyes widened as he shouted, “Be careful!” In one fluid motion, he lunged forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her away from danger. The two of them tumbled to the ground, wrapped in each other’s arms in a clumsy yet intimate heap.
Time seemed to pause. The world blurred. For a few long, breathless seconds, Leia and Santiago stared into each other’s eyes, lost in the singular gravity of the moment. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears as he hovered above her, his gaze locked on hers. The air between them crackled with unspoken emotion.
Then reality rushed back, and they broke apart awkwardly, scrambling to their feet.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Dalton. I wasn’t being careful and made you fall,” Leia stammered, her cheeks flushed crimson. She smoothed her messy hair, unable to meet his eyes.
“No, it was my fault for not going to you immediately,” Santiago said softly, his voice laced with regret. He wore a simple blue denim shirt and khaki pants, but his mysterious, magnetic aura made him stand out no matter where he went. He wasn’t even showing his face, yet he still attracted the attention of everyone nearby—which was precisely why that female motorcyclist had been too distracted to notice Leia in her path.
“Haha! Don’t mention it. After all, we’re going to be a couple in a show.” Leia laughed nervously, trying to cut the awkwardness with humor.
Santiago smiled teasingly, his gaze warm. “That’s true… my future girlfriend.”
Leia’s entire body went still. Her pulse raced. “Ahem, w-we should go to the company now, or Mr. Jiminez will get worried.” She spun around, pressed a hand to her racing heart, and took a deep breath. She was so good at flirting—until someone flirted back and turned her into a complete mess.
Soon, they arrived at Star Entertainment, the company that Adam worked for. Despite being relatively new, the company had risen quickly to prominence, producing hit shows and promoting young stars. Within five years, it had clawed its way into the top five entertainment companies in the industry—a legend in its own right. They had signed the prestigious Adam to raise their standards. Adam had seen better days as a movie director, but after a career slump, he found his second life in variety shows. His latest hit, *Happy Days*, had been a massive success.
Now, Star Entertainment had poured enormous resources into producing a new love reality show called *The Choice of Love*. And with Santiago—that mysterious, brooding enigma—agreeing to join, the show was already breaking the internet. The news had topped search rankings for days, and media outlets were starving for details. Security was tight today because it was the official contract signing for both Santiago and Leia. Almost every single member of the management department was waiting in eager anticipation.
The moment Leia and Santiago stepped through the doors, a storm of party poppers exploded around them—as if they were welcoming a newlywed couple. Everyone was cheering, smiling, overwhelmed with excitement.
“I’m so glad to see you, Santi, Lei… Let’s go to the conference room so you both can sign the contract,” Adam said, his nervousness barely hidden as he led them down the hall.
Inside the conference room sat five people—two men and three women—all signed guests for the upcoming show. Some were celebrities; others were elites or ordinary people with extraordinary looks. But one thing was clear: everyone in that room was breathtakingly attractive.
A young celebrity named Megan Flores practically bounced out of her seat the moment she saw Santiago. “Wow, you’re so handsome, Mr. Dalton. I’ve heard so much about you!” she gushed enthusiastically.
One of the other women was Luna Carter, a senior from a prestigious college, and another was Angel Baker, an interior designer. They were more reserved than Megan, but they couldn’t help stealing glances at Santiago either.
Meanwhile, two male guests watched the scene unfold. One, a former World Games swimming champion named Skylar Rivera, nudged the man next to him and sighed dramatically. “Hey, look at these two! We haven’t even started the show, but their feelings for each other are already clear. Buddy, we’re definitely going to be the side characters.”
The other man, Hugh Mitchell, a famous actuary, just shook his head with a quiet smile.
But Adam stepped in, trying to smooth things over. “Why do you say that, Sky? You’re certainly not a side character, and nothing is certain until the show starts. It all comes down to one’s character. Plus, the crew picked everyone based on their METI personalities. You’ll find the person most suitable for you, and all of you will be in the limelight!” His confident words seemed to ease the tension, and the room relaxed.
Leia, still flustered from the moment she and Santiago shared, could already feel the weight of these new connections pressing on her. She didn’t know if she was ready to open her heart again. But one thing was certain: Her life was about to become a lot more complicated—and a lot more interesting.

### Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating
What a deliciously tension-filled chapter! I absolutely loved the push-and-pull between Leia and Xavier—he may be arrogant, but you can tell his feelings for her haven't faded. Yet at the same time, Santiago is so charming and gentle that you cannot help but root for this new possibility. The near-accident scene under the tree was so cinematic, perfectly capturing that rush of warmth and confusion when two people are on the verge of falling for each other. Also, the introduction of the cast of the love show teases so much future drama—Megan already seems like trouble! This chapter leaves us breathless, wondering whether Leia will truly cut the cord with Xavier or take a leap into the unknown with Santiago.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.9 / 5 Stars)
### Next Chapter Prediction
Now that the contracts are signed, the real drama is bound to begin! The show hasn't even started filming, but sparks are flying off-screen already. We can expect Xavier’s jealousy to flare up once he learns that Leia is officially participating in a love reality show—especially with Santiago as her assigned partner! The media will likely catch wind of their chemistry, and Megan Flores may try to stir up trouble between them. Will Santiago reveal why he insisted on being with Leia? And will Xavier do something reckless to win her back? Buckle up—this love triangle is about to explode in the most dramatic way!
