Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 77

At 7:30 sharp, the show began.

The theater lights dimmed, and a single spotlight illuminated the stage.

Olivia appeared amidst great anticipation from the audience.

The stage design, music, costumes, makeup, props, and choreography were all flawless.

Olivia took her career seriously. Outside the Clark family, it was the only thing she could truly call her own.

She was talented, but there was always someone more gifted. The closer she got to the top, the heavier the

pressure became.

To keep up with that handful of elites, she poured even more tand effort into her training than most people

could imagine, just barely holding onto her title as a prodigy.

Even when things were at their worst between her and Olivia, Natasha had never once denied

how hard Olivia worked.

Maybe that was exactly why Natahsa knew what truly mattered to Olivia.

The Clark family and Lucas were nothing. Their real battle had always been on the stage.

Natasha got it, and so did Olivia.

To truly send someone to hell, it was not about losing the people they loved or being cast out by everyone.

It was about crushing their dignity and pride, and the one thing they were most proud of.

Family and love were things people could fight for, snatch away, or win through careful scheming,

But talent and ability never lied.

Back then, after Natasha had her heart shattered, she poured all her emotions into dance.

She was like a flower blooming against all odds, so dazzling that even Olivia, who seemed to have it all, couldn't

help but feel a stab of envy.

Outside the Clark family, Natasha seemed to be given a chance to start her life over again on the dancing stage,

She was no longer that poor, oppressed girl weighed down by guilt.

She left all that behind, and both the audience and masters were completely mesmerized by

her.

In moments like that, the favoritism from family or childhood friends faded into the background-it was just her

and the stage, and nothing else mattered.

Olivia realized that Natasha, once trapped in the cocoon spun from favors and the weight of lives owed, was

finally about to break free.

Rhea, who was idol Olivia had worshipped for so long, the one she could never get close to, eventually reached

out to Natasha.

Olivia had to beg her parents to pull strings just to get a fair shot at an audition with Rhea, all because she was

Natasha's sister.

She finally got her shot, but Olivia just couldn’t bring herself to step up.

Competing with a prodigy like Natasha on the sstage was a nightmare. For Olivia, it was like chasing that

elusive 0.01 second in an Olympic sprint.

So Olivia made her move.

Olivia wasn't like Natasha, weighed down by all those chains. She was free to act.

When Emilia died, Natasha was still too young to understand.

Everyone kept telling her, “Your aunt died because of you. Olivia lost her mother because of your selfishness.”

With that kind of guilt hanging over her, Natasha always felt like she was a step below Olivia.

Even though she’d had her identity, her parents, and so much more taken away from her, they all called it

atonement.

Natasha had no choice but to work even harder. If she could officially becRhea’s disciple, she'd finally be

able to leave the Clark family with her head held high.

Natasha felt so timid, and a wave of guilt washed over her as she was surprised by her thought of excaping the

Clark family.

However, if she didn’t get out, she felt that she was going to lose it.

At seventeen, Natasha was trying to save herself.

Good kids like her always thought the answer was to make themselves stronger, to bectruly unbreakable.

But Olivia, who understood the rules of the adult world, was ruthless and calculating.

So, she won.

When the doctor announced that Natasha was no longer fit to be a professional dancer, every last hope she had

was crushed in a single moment.

Olivia had never seen Natasha so completely devastated before.

Not even when her parents misunderstood her and shut her away in that dark room had she ever felt this

heartbroken.

In the middle of the night, Olivia stood outside Natasha's door, listening to the agonized, muffled sobs coming

from within.

Those heartbreaking cries intertwined with the memories of a little girl once beaten down by her father, weaving

together into the most hauntingly beautiful music Olivia had ever heard.

She smiled silently in the hallway, dancing lightly and quietly back to her room. That night, Olivia had the best

sleep of her life.

Natasha sat in the lounge that Naomi had set up just for them, her eyes fixed on the screen where Olivia spun

and bent gracefully.

Natasha had fallen before. She knew all too well how painful it was to say goodbye to the

stage.

After all these years, Olivia had thrown herself into dance even more than Natasha ever did.

Natasha had becthe very villain everyone whispered about.

Natasha thought, ‘So, Olivia, can you rise again this time?’

With so many heavyweight guests in attendance, Olivia was nervous, but she also pushed herself to perform at

her absolute best.

Several of the masters sitting in the front row kept nodding in approval.

But right in the center, Rhea and Sophia kept their faces blank, showing no reaction at all.

During the intermission, people around kept showering Olivia with praise. “Miss Sutton

“I heard she choreographed most of tonight's pieces herself or worked with others on them. Honestly, it’s really

impressive.

“Even if there are a few flaws, the overall performance totally makes up

for it.”

But Rhea just frowned. “These dances might look similar at first glance, but each one has a different vibe

underneath.

“She's trying to show off too much at once. For a themed show, it all feels a bit messy.”

If it weren't for Michelle insisting she cand even telling her to bring a few colleagues along, Rhea wouldn't

have bothered showing up.

Michelle had crossed paths with Olivia before, and she knew that Olivia had too much

ambition.

Michelle thought to herself, ‘I really need to give Michelle a good talking-to later.

‘She shouldn't just recommend anyone to me!

Sophia's critique was even more blunt. “She’s got the technique, but she’s missing that artistry.”

She and Rhea were old friends, so she spoke her mind without sugarcoating it. “Honestly, | think Naomi from the

stroupe has more talent.

“I just don’t get why Miss Sutton is the one who's more famous.”

After a pause, Sophia added, “Honestly, for my new piece, I'd rather collaborate with Naomi.”

Now that she thought about it, Sophia was only here today because Naomi had invited her.

After watching Naomi perform a few days ago, they'd exchanged contact info and hit it off.

But today, even though all the invited guests had shown up, Naomi was nowhere to be found.

Sophia and Rhea exchanged a knowing smile.

Both of them thought, ‘Young people are honestly...‘

At least it gave them a chance to catch up. They felt that they could grab a drink together

Backstage, Olivia kept a close eye on the guests, always paying attention to their movements. Naturally, she

overheard sof their comments.

Normally, that would have made her anxious.

But now, she didn’t feel the slightest bit flustered, she thought.

‘But too bad. A substitute is still just a substitute.”

Olivia was determined to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to her.
