From Nobody to Star: Her Love with CEO

Lyra woke up alone in a hospital bed, feeling an unbearable pain. Yesterday was a rainy day,she had a date with Daniel.A drunk driver rushed towards them in a car. Without a second thought, Lyra pushed Daniel out of the way and ended up being knocked down on the ground herself. The driver fled. Panicked,Daniel called an ambulance for her and then fled out, "I can't be seen with you by the press. Hang in there, Lyra!" And then he disappeared. Her phone buzzed. Lyra's right leg was broken, but fortunately, her hands were okay. She struggled to unlock her phone. The first message was from Chloe Taylor, her best friend： "Lyra, are you awake? Don't look at your phone!!!" But it was too late.Those darn pop-ups had already started popping up on her phone screen,unstoppable. #Daniel's Original New Song# #"Shape of You" Is Great# #Genius Singer Evelyn# #Daniel Confesses to Evelyn# With trembling hands, Lyra clicked on the first one. Music producer Daniel: "I'm so excited to share my original new song 'Shape of You' with everyone. This song is inspired by my Muse, the new generation of female singer - Evelyn Grayson, she will also sing this song, I hope she likes it. Just three hours after the new song was released, there were already thousands of replies under this tweet. Famous music critic Mila： Daniel, this well-known music producer, had been questioned about losing his touch in recent years , but I think the three songs he released this year have strongly proved that – he's still the darling of the God of Music! There were also fans focusing on exploring the relationship between Daniel and Evelyn: Daniel confessed to Evelyn! I knew it! The two of them were photographed having dinner together last month! Of course, there were also compliments like "It sounds great", "The voice of a siren", "Unbelievable" flooding under the post where Evelyn released the song she sang. And she also retweeted Daniel' post at the first time and added a few casual words: "I like this song ❤️, and……" That's not enough of a response for fans and busybodies. "And" what? "And I like this man, too", right? Evelyn didn't respond again, but she just let everyone excitedly guess. Meanwhile, Chloe's messages kept coming in. "Are you okay, Lyra? Just forget about Daniel. I always knew he was a jerk!" It took Lyra a full five minutes to stop her body from trembling, but her fingers were still a bit out of control. After countless attempts of typing, deleting, Lyra finally managed to send Chloe a message saying, "I'm okay". And just then, the phone rang. It was Daniel. "Hi, Lyra. Are you okay?" The man's voice was gentle, warm, and magnetic. Just like the impression he gave people, refined and pleasant. Daniel used to be a well-known original music producer. But recent years, he hardly released any new works. The two songs he put out were also criticized as "boring" and "monotonous melodies". Lyra got to know the down-and-out Daniel in the restaurant where she worked part-time. Daniel was interested in this waitress who had a dream of music and was full of talent. And Lyra admired Daniel' musical talent in the past. They became lovers. But now. Countless thoughts exploded in Lyra‘s mind. I got hit by a car for you. Why did you run away and left me in the rain? Why did you have the time to release a new song? What's your relationship with Evelyn? The patient in the bed next to hers was still coughing violently, and all her thoughts condensed into one sentence. Yes, that's what she wanted to ask the most – "You can't..." Lyra said. "Oh, baby. I'm sorry. I've been so busy. But you know, I'm a famous music producer. Making our relationship public isn't good for either of us. " Lyra dug her nails into her palm, and blood flowed down from her palm all the way to the ground. "Oh, I guess you've already seen the trending topics. The news is all fake. The media and the public like boring gossip. I have nothing to do with Evelyn – well, although she is really charming indeed." "You can't..." Lyra just stubbornly and helpless repeated those words. "I can't visit you in the hospital at this time – after all, there are so many eyes on me. But you can still count on yourself." "You can't steal my music, Daniel." Lyra finally succeeded. That's what Lyra wanted to ask the most. Her music, her works were like her children. When she was lying unconscious in the hospital, not knowing whether she would live or die, Daniel released a new song that was clearly hers and claimed that was for another woman! It was a dead silence from Daniel. "'Shape of You' is a song I wrote for you. How could you shamelessly steal it and claim that your inspiration came from another woman?” "I thought we already had a deal." That sweet voice of Daniel suddenly turned cold. "What?" Lyra thought she must have misheard. Stop fooling around, Lyra. I've already paid for those songs. They're mine now. " "Trade?" Lyra paused for a moment. "Ten songs in exchange for a bouquet of flowers, a few meals, oh, and a $20 supermarket gift card. I thought we were partners and couple. Do you really think that was a trade?" The patient in the bed next to hers had already stopped coughing and looked over at Lyra in surprise., but Lyra couldn't care less anymore. "Oh, I see. it is about money, right? How about $200, or $2000?" Daniel's voice became even colder. "I should have stopped you using my songs." Lyra murmured. Lyra was driven out of her family. She knew that many family members hated her and wouldn't let her to be a star. And Daniel, he was suffering from a lack of inspiration and indulged himself in alcohol. He took Lyra's songs and regained his popularity. Daniel begged Lyra not to expose this scandal. And Lyra, she knew that she can't publish any song under family pressure. So, she might as well give these songs to her boyfriend and support him. Thus, Daniel coaxed Lyra into handing over more songs. But she could have sold those songs too. There were people who had made offers. An online friend she met three years ago, a girl named Dulce Bunny.She was even willing to offer an extremely high price to buy the copyright of Lyra's songs. Lyra was willing to give her songs to Daniel because she loved him. "Your songs are boring and mediocre, and I changed them 10%, and that's why they're popular." said from Daniel. "Dan, what's going on?" Just then, the coquettish female voice from the phone almost froze Lyra's blood. "Oh, it's nothing, baby. I'll be done in a minute." After comforting that girl, Daniel continued talking to Lyra. "Where was I? Oh, right. How about $2000 to buy out these ten songs? Lyra, I'm willing to continue our 'cooperation'." "Who was that talking just now?" Lyra asked. "Just an assistant." Daniel coughed unnaturally. "Anyway, I'll give you a week to consider it. But remember, the source files of those songs are on my computer. You can't prove that they're your works. Take your time to think about it." The phone was hung up before Lyra could say anything. She dragged Daniel's number into the blacklist. Then she finally had time to listen to the the new voice messages from her w******p. Evelyn:My dearest sister, I heard you were in the hospital. Poor sister！ How can you pay the medical bill? After all, you are not like my dog. It has health insurance, but you don't, my poor waitress. Evelyn: Speaking of which, that man you used to be so crazy about, Daniel, he wrote a super touching love song for me called "Shape of You". He's such a passionate guy. No wonder you liked him. Evelyn:Oh, I know you might feel a bit sour in your heart, but when it comes to feelings, no one can stop them when they come, right, dear sister? Lyra numbly turned off the voice messages. That "assistant" indeed is Evelyn. Evelyn Grayson was also Lyra's half-sister. Lyra could never forget her voice even if she turned to ashes. After all, Lyra took her mother's surname "Lowell". After the fire, Lyra was driven out of the Grayson family. No one can ever think that Lyra Lowell, a restaurant waitress, would be related to the popular Evelyn Grayson. "You don't need to worry about me. Since I left home, I never thought of getting another dime from the Graysons'." "And I'm glad you like the song. After all, you always said that the songs I wrote were terrible, sister. I forgot to tell you that 'Shape of You' is my work." She had calmed down, so she typed quickly. "I've already broken up with Daniel. You can only pick up the men I dumped – just like your mother did to my mother. But since we're sisters, I still wish that your taste in men could be as good as your taste in music." Evelyn didn't reply for a long time, but the "the other person is typing" prompt on the chat box didn't disappear for a long time. Evelyn must be furious by now. Lyra smiled bitterly and reopened her phone. Among the overwhelming trending topics about that damn Daniel and Evelyn, she skillfully found that link. "The third season of 'Rising Music Stars' is now in full swing for auditions. Love music? Dream of shining? Come and sign up to chase your dream. The champion prize is as high as $500,000, and the semifinalists who don't make it to the top three can also share the $100,000 prize pool." This was currently the hottest music talent show for amateurs. It had made countless singers famous. She wanted to fulfill her music dream, and she needed this money even more. When she was driven out of the family, she was not allowed to take almost anything. She spent all her waitress money on that bastard Daniel.Now she couldn't afford her lunch. Her networth is less than $20. Lyra stared at the website for a while and then closed it.It's impossible, she told herself.All the original songs she had accumulated over the years were in Daniel' hands. Besides... Her phone kept ringing. Lyra glanced at it and saw that it was all Evelyn's hysterical curses. The Grayson family had such influence. That was also the reason why she couldn't participate in this music talent show– the Grayson family was one of the investors of this show. And just then, she was surprised to find a kind-looking man in a white coat standing in front of her. "Miss. Lyra Lowell, are you okay? You're lucky. Besides the fracture in your right leg, most of the wounds on your body are just abrasions. I'm glad to see that you're in such good spirits." It was her doctor. The man smiled and showed his concern with kind words. A warm feeling flowed through Lyra's heart. "I'm okay, doctor. Thank you very much." "Oh, that's good." The doctor always had a kind smile on his face. "Would you like to check your medical bill now?" It was a question, but Lyra didn't really have a choice. The bill had already been handed to her. Lyra's eyes stopped on the number on the last line that said "Total". She almost thought she had seen it wrong. $97,429. "The hospital has limited beds, Miss. I'm sorry to say that if you can't pay in time, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here." The doctor's tone was very polite, but there was an unmistakable firmness in it that left no room for negotiation
