Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany

Just as Milly stepped inside, she heard a low, guttural growl from the shadows beneath a nearby tree.

It sounded like an animal, but something was unsettling about it. It was a mix of threat and hostility. On this eerie, quiet night, the sound was terrifying.

Horrified, Milly clutched her chest, trying to calm herself. ‘It’s probably just a cat or a dog,’ she thought.

Since the iron gate opened, that meant Richard welcomed her, so surely no harm would come her way. With her nerves slightly settled, she took another step forward.

Suddenly, two glowing eyes opened from the shadows. The massive figure of a beast emerged, revealing itself bit by bit.

It had razor-sharp fangs, claws capable of tearing through flesh, and a menacing gaze. This was no ordinary animal. It had distinct marks, carrying an overwhelming presence while it walked at a leisurely pace.

Milly’s expression changed drastically after seeing it.

It was a tiger. A living, breathing tiger, roaming free with no chains or cages to contain it.

Milly’s face turned ashen. Her mind screamed in horror. Her legs gave out, and any thought of running or screaming vanished. She could only tremble uncontrollably.

The tiger slowly closed in on her, its hot breath grazing her skin.

‘Is it going to eat me?’ she thought as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She fell to the ground, helpless and terrified. “Help… please… someone… help me…” But no one answered.

The tiger, towering over her, glanced down at her pathetic state before casually lifting one of its massive paws. In an effortless motion, it swatted Milly like a ball, sending her flying out of the gate.

She tumbled through the air before crashing to the ground. The iron gate silently closed behind her.

Inside the estate, the tiger shook its head and strutted back with the air of a king. Its gaze held a hint of disdain.

It seemed it was despised of Milly intruding on its master’s domain. Everything here, including the man who struck fear into the hearts of all, belonged to its master. And its master was none other than Tiffany.

Milly, lying outside the gate, ignored the pain in her body. Instead, she was overwhelmed with relief at having narrowly escaped death.

After a long while, once she could move again, she crawled back to her car and scrambled inside.

Her body was shaking as she started the engine and sped away. The car swerved erratically down the road as if she was drunk.

Inside Royal Bay, Garry watched the whole scene unfold on the security cameras and burst out laughing.

It was he who had opened the gate remotely, knowing Richard had no time to deal with the likes of Milly.

Perfect solution!’ he thought. This way, she’d never dare return.

“Nicely done,” Garry couldn’t help but praise himself.

In the past two days, public opinion continued to escalate with the situation spiraling out of control.

After being forced into a corner, Freddie tried to maintain his composure. However, it lasted only a day before he waited outside A***e’s apartment. He was wrapped tightly in layers of clothing.

It was late when A**e returned from a long day of filming. She was searching her bag for her keys as she stepped out of the

elevator.

To her surprise, someone was standing by her door.

The figure was bundled up, making it hard to see his face and hair. But even from behind, she recognized Freddie immediately.

Seeing her, Freddie became visibly emotional. “A**e… How have you been?” he asked nervously.

He was playing the sympathy card now, but A**ie wasn’t fooled. She sneered.

She remembered how indifferent he’d been three days ago when they crossed paths outside that restaurant. His disdain for her back then had been palpable.

Abbie let out a cold laugh and said, “Leave.”

He didn’t even deserve to stand in front of her.

Desperate, Freddie reached out and grabbed her hand, just like he had two years ago when he made promises he never kept. “***e, give me another chance! Everything that happened before was my fault.”

He added, “I was heartless, I was ungrateful! But I swear I’ve always cared about you. I still love you. Please, for the sake of what we had, help me one last time.”

A**e listened and was surprised to find herself feeling no anger or resentment. She had suffered enough in the last two years to see him for who he really was.

She said calmly, “I figured you’d come looking for me eventually. But I didn’t expect you to still be this shameless.”

She yanked her hand away, her expression mocking. “Freddie, have some dignity. And while you’re at it, leave me mine too. Every time I see you, I remember how blind I was back then. Your presence is a reminder of my greatest humiliation.”

The best outcome would be for them to never see each other again.

Freddie, not expecting her to be so blunt, was stunned. His eyes were full of sorrow. “You really can’t give me one more chance?”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Leave,” she repeated, unlocking her door and shutting it behind her without a second thought.

With that, a door stood between them, cutting him off from her world. A***ie took a deep breath. Just as Tiffany had once told her, what was in the past was truly over.

*****

The next day, a piece of news spread like wildfire, dominating headlines. Freddie had turned himself in.

Before his surrender, he held a press conference, admitting to his wrongdoings from years ago. He bowed in apology and exited with as much dignity as he could muster.

When Tiffany saw the news, she raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Freddie had shown more guts than she had expected.

He was already backed into a corner, with companies cutting ties, endorsements dropping him, and multiple unreleased films facing costly repercussions due to his downfall.

If he had continued to resist, he would never have been able to make a comeback. Turning himself in was his only way out. Perhaps it might even win him a shred of public sympathy.

Once the storm had passed, though his return to the spotlight would be difficult, he might still salvage some of his reputation.

Besides, the fortune he’d am***ed over the past few years was more than enough to sustain him, even if he switched to another industry.

After Freddie’s confession, the authorities reopened the investigation into the events of the past.

Everything came to light. Though A**e had her reasons for taking the fall for someone else, doing so was still a crime.

Following legal procedures, A***ie cooperated, paid the fine, and issued a sincere public apology.

With that, the darkness that had loomed over her for two years finally dissipated. But there was still Milly to deal with next.
