Rebrofa Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 32: Who Is the Person on Stage?

The ethereal female voice seemed to drift like a chant from hell. A soft, haunting note sent chills down everyone’s spine. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the soul.

Snap! A dim spotlight illuminated the scene! Beneath withered vines and an old tree, amidst swirling smoke, a young woman in a black gown sat elegantly at a pure white piano, her face concealed beneath a black veil. The eerie stage created an unsettling feeling for everyone in the audience.

In the seats, Isabella stared at Olivia on stage. Though she had been prepared, she couldn’t help but marvel when she saw the scene unfold before her. Almost instinctively, Isabella bit her lip, a mix of surprise and worry swirling in her heart.

Did Livi really plan to sing a cappella throughout the entire performance? But just as she thought that, Isabella saw… Olivia’s ten fingers, gloved in black lace, gently rest on the piano keys. A suppressed melody began, and the ethereal, despairing female voice filled the air. Isabella’s heart skipped a beat! The song began.

“I’m tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface…”

The electrifying sensation caused everyone to freeze. The young woman on stage, draped in black gauze, seemed to bring hell itself before them, as if there were a magical force preventing their eyes from looking away. The song in their ears was like a curse.

“What is this song? I’ve never heard it before.”

“This song is so suffocating… I feel like I can’t breathe…”

“Who’s playing the piano? Isn’t this Olivia and Isabella’s performance slot?”

“In that… mon Olivia on Inshalla?”

No one believed that the girl weaving a spell with music on stage could possibly be one of those two unknown, ordinary students. An unprecedented sensation gripped everyone’s heart, and with the girl’s voice, it felt as if their souls were being dragged into an abyss by chains. His murmurs quickly faded. No one wanted to miss out on this soul-cleansing experience. At this moment, they felt as if they were in the temple of their souls, their spirits wandering in the dim, hellish swamps with the melody.

The middle-aged man sitting beside Sebastian gasped when he heard the song, his eyes wide open, fixated on the rare treasure on stage. “Sebastian, is this your apprentice?” The middle-aged man listened to the perfect performance of the piece. Sebastian had truly found a gem this time! The level of this performance was nearly on par with Sebastian’s own!

“Na…” Sebastian’s eyes were filled with astonishment. He was too familiar with Isabella’s playing style, and he had heard her perform this piece countless times. But never had it reached him like this, so deeply and soulfully. Isabella was incredibly talented, but the girl on stage truly brought the soul of this piece to life. This was not just a performance. It was a musical feast!

Meanwhile, Lily, along with a few of her friends, arrived at the waiting area, and when they heard the song from the stage, they were all stunned. “Who… who is that person on stage?” Lily asked, her eyes wide, staring at the graceful young woman. The black veil obscured her face, making it impossible to identify her. Lily’s friends had also learned piano, and although their skills were nowhere near Lily’s, their early exposure to music meant they could immediately tell… the young woman’s skill far surpassed Lily’s by several times!
