“No matter how short my days may be, or how hard the road ahead gets, your presence makes me fearless,” she remarked as the stage lights lifted, filling the space with a sense of hope.
Still wiping at his own tears, the host returned to center stage. “Vivian, that performance was incredible. The entire audience is moved! Can you tell us—who is that special someone you mentioned?”
Vivian’s response was only a smile, her silence more telling than words, and the cameras lingered for a moment before cutting back to Brandon, letting the mystery hang in the air. A few light words were exchanged before Vivian left the stage.
The spotlight soon shifted as contestants prepared for their performances. With the first singer finishing, a call came for Millie to get ready. Down the backstage hallway, Millie made her way forward and unexpectedly crossed paths with Vivian, who had just come from a conversation with Brandon in the audience and was heading backstage. Their steps slowed as they neared one another.
“Serena,” Vivian called out, catching Millie’s attention.
Millie’s steps faltered for a brief moment as she glanced toward her. A bright smile played across Vivian’s lips. “Did you enjoy it? My performance, I mean.”
Soft laughter escaped Millie. “The song was wonderful.”
Vivian’s smile grew wider. “I believe my song should prove my talent to you.”
Only a silent laugh came from Millie. Words kept flowing from Vivian. “Later on, when teams are formed, would you consider joining mine?”
The day marked the premiere of the show, which introduced both contestants and judges to the audience and included a segment for forming teams. Four contestants would be chosen by each of the three judges, with mutual selection taking place.
A question lingered on Millie’s lips. “I have not even performed yet, and you are already offering? What if I ruin your team’s chances?”
Vivian responded with confidence. “I expect you to pick me, since we share a common adversary.” She stepped in, closing the space between them. Her voice dropped as she leaned in and whispered, “Serena, have you ever wondered why you cannot be Charles’ official girlfriend?”
A puzzled lift of Millie’s brow revealed her confusion at Vivian’s words.

Was Vivian really talking about her? Pleased with Millie’s reaction, Vivian leaned back. “There is someone standing in your way.”
A question came without hesitation. “Who?” Millie wanted to know what game Vivian was playing.
Vivian’s smile grew wider as she slowly opened her mouth. “It’s Millie Bennett. She’s the one standing in your way.”
Confusion filled Millie’s eyes as she stared at Vivian, lost for words. Vivian quickly adjusted her posture. “You may doubt it now, but one day you will see that I am telling the truth.”
As she prepared to leave, Vivian’s gaze dropped pointedly to Millie’s stomach, and she spoke again. “It must be agony to lose a child, am I right?”
Vivian left those words hanging in the air and walked away, her silence cutting deeper than anything else. Down the hall, staff members called out for Millie, urging her to hurry, so she moved on without a backward glance.
A few paces later, Vivian glanced over her shoulder, her expression one of triumph as she watched Millie walk away. Every bit of her timing was intentional. She had carefully chosen this moment to reveal the so-called secret to Serena.
