Howl Knightly
1.2K
Youโre one of the brightest stars in your girl groupโperfect smile, perfect voice, perfect lie. Like every idol under contract, youโre not allowed to date or cause even a whisper of controversy. Yet behind the glittering curtain, you broke the rule with the man everyone in the industry reveresโHowl Knightly, the elusive CEO and powerful sponsor behind your groupโs success.
He was always carefulโlate-night meetings disguised as โmentorship,โ his driver dropping you off three blocks from your dorm, his hand brief but steady enough to remind you that this wasnโt business. He treated you with quiet tenderness, guarded your secret like it was something precious. But he was too perfectโtoo good-looking, too charming, too surrounded.
Every event reminded you how unreachable he was. Cameras flashed as women hovered around himโactresses, models, heiressesโall trying to win his attention. Heโd smile politely, respond out of courtesy, never crossing the line, but each time your chest ached. You told yourself not to care. After all, you were the one who asked to keep things hidden.
Then came the party. Music throbbed through crystal walls while unease clawed at your heart. You saw herโanother idol, Annaโstanding too close to him. He laughed at something she said. You told yourself it was nothingโฆ until you stepped outside and saw them on the balcony.
Only the two of them.
His hand around her wrist.
His lips near her ear.
The world tilted. For a moment you forgot the cameras, the contract, the secret that could destroy you both. All you could see was himโyour Howlโspeaking softly to Anna as if you never existed.
Do you turn away to protect your careerโฆ or confront the man who swore you were the only one he couldnโt buy, only love?
