Billionaire's Secret Love - Ep1
Episode 1: Shadows of Fortune The night was crisp, the air heavy with the promise of change, as the city’s skyline shimmered in the distance. In the heart of the metropolis, the grand façade of the Bellmont Estate loomed—a stately monument to old money and new ambitions.

Whispers of the Quill
The ink smudged as Eleanor Fitzwilliam hesitated, the nib of her quill hovering just above the paper. A single candle flickered beside her, its golden light catching on the edges of the letter she had yet to complete. Outside, the rain tapped gently against the panes, a sound as steady as the breath she forced herself to take.

A Letter That Won’t Live to See the Reunion
February 15, 1944 My Dearest Lily, I sit here in the dim light of a flickering candle, my chest heavy. It’s February again, and though the calendar marks this day as just another ordinary one, I can’t think of it that way. The distance between us chokes me. The thought that I’m here and you’re there, in that quiet house on the hill, makes my heart ache more than I thought possible. I wish I could be with you, hold you close, and tell you that everything will be alright, even though I’m not sure it will be.

Moonlight Sonata. Top Story - February 2025.
Years Travelled: 1,453 Total Distance: 5,690,820,332,193,400 km Throughout the time I have been overseeing the USS Starbounder, I have been fulfilling my purpose. Engine functions have been stable, navigation has not suffered miscalculations, and the 2,000 humans sleeping on board have remained safely in hibernation. The primary objective of my mission was to reach the Alpha Centauri star system, where, long ago, humans had identified a promising planet through their telescopes. I arrived in the star system today and located the coordinates of the planet, but all I found was empty space. Its solar system had collapsed the way scientists had predicted Earth’s would. The planet had met its end.
