My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace
Chapter 208

Chapter 208 

That day was the middle school dance competition, and he had signed Xan up for it. As the president of the entire student council, he was there on the judges‘ panel to cheer her on 

On stage, Xan wore a flowing white ballet dress, her movements graceful and lively, truly resembling an adorable little swan. 

Isabella saw the smile on his face and thought he remembered. She continued, “Back then, I barely knew the basics of dance and my performance was far from Xan’s. I only got second place. But after that, I practiced dance relentlessly and found my own style. If it were now…. 

“If it were now, you’d still lose. 

Samuel interrupted her bluntly, his dismissive tone dousing her like a cold shower, visibly changing her expression. 

At that middle school dance competition, she had indeed lost to Xanthea. However, she had dedicated the next ten years to rigorous practice and had become a highly acclaimed dancer in the industry. Even her detractors couldn’t find fault with her dancing. 

She had also appeared on numerous dance reality shows, showcasing her skills in hopes that he would notice her someday. 

But why? 

“I heard that Ms. Taylor has recently been competing with Xan for the lead role in ‘Realm of Illusions‘ and ended up losing just like before?” 

“If you keep comparing yourself to her and competing like you did in school, I’d advise you to give up early. Xan has gained millions of fans with just one song. Once the drama she’s filming airs, her popularity will be unimaginable.” 

‘She didn’t debut back then, it’s not that she had lost to you. If she had started her career alongside you, there likely wouldn’t be any place for an imitation like you.” 

Samuel finished, picking up his golf clubs and leaving without looking back. 

Isabella was still reeling from his brutal “imitation” taunt, tears welling up as she gripped her dress so tightly she nearly tore the fabric. 

On her first day at Crestwood Middle School, she had fallen for him–the handsome and charismatic senior student council president from the affluent Starlyn family. Surrounded by countless beautiful girls. even though she was a child star, she dared not harbor any fantasies and could only secretly admire him. 

One day, during a morning run, her period started unexpectedly, and she panicked at the thought of staining her pants and ruining her chances of stardom. She crouched on the ground, crying and hugging herself, ignoring the pointing and malicious speculation of her classmates until he showed up. 

He dispersed the crowd and, without asking why she was upset, took off his jacket and covered her with 

1. it. 

“Don’t be afraid, no one will see now. Hurry back to the dorm,” he said gently. 

Gratefully, she looked up at him and whispered thanks in a barely audible voice. 

“It’s okay, I have a cute little sister about your age at home.”

His voice was so gentle, and his smile was so deeply etched in her heart that she fell hopelessly in love with him from then on, just like the other girls who followed him around. Collecting every piece of information about him, just seeing him from a distance or hearing a few words from him would make e her so happy that she couldn’t sleep for days.
