Chapter 1068
“Cole, could I borrow Elliana for a moment?” Taylor asked, his smile never wavering.
Cole studied Taylor for a while before he finally relented. “Go ahead.”
Without another word, Cole slipped away, melting into the background for Taylor and Elliana to enjoy the spotlights.
As the chorus swelled, Taylor caught Elliana’s hand and pulled her in. He brought the microphone up and unleashed a raw, powerful verse—his voice ringing with passion that gripped the entire room.
Elliana jumped in without hesitation, her voice rising to meet his, the two of them creating something electric in perfect harmony.
Together, they sent the music soaring, whipping the audience into a frenzy.
Despite having never performed together before and with absolutely no time to rehearse, Elliana and Taylor created magic on stage. Their natural chemistry was undeniable, and the audience was completely entranced by their unexpected collaboration.
After four and a half intense hours, the concert finally came to an end.
The crowd was still buzzing with energy, their voices rising in desperate chants for one more song, but the evening had reached its natural conclusion.
After their final number and heartfelt closing words to the audience, Elliana and Taylor made their way off the stage.
Cole, who had been watching protectively from the wings throughout the entire performance, immediately followed them.
Meanwhile, Jason took charge of coordinating with the security team to ensure the twenty thousand excited fans could exit the venue safely and in an orderly fashion.
What had started as a potential disaster had transformed into an incredibly successful concert.

Once backstage, Elliana allowed herself a quiet moment of relief. She had made a split-second decision to reveal her identity as Stellara to prevent what could have developed into a stampede, and her gamble had paid off beautifully. As the adrenaline from the performance began to fade, Elliana turned her attention to Taylor, who was looking at her with an expression of pure joy. He spoke. “You have no idea what this means to me. You made my biggest dream come true tonight.”
Ever since he’d first entered that singing competition years ago and launched his career in the entertainment industry, meeting Stellara had been his ultimate goal. Actually sharing a stage with her, singing together in front of thousands of people—that had been a fantasy so impossible that he’d barely dared to imagine it.

Tonight had not only made that dream real, but it had been even more incredible than anything he could have pictured. He felt a deep sense of fulfillment, as if a missing piece of his soul had finally been found.
Elliana studied his expression for a moment before her own face broke into a warm, genuine smile. “You’re Cole’s cousin. You don’t need to thank me for anything. And just so”
“You know—whenever you have a concert in the future, all you have to do is ask. I’ll always be happy to be your guest performer.”
Taylor’s eyes went wide with surprise. “You really mean that? You’d actually do this again?”
