Snow's return to the entertainment industry was no longer just gossip—it had exploded into a full-blown phenomenon. Social media was flooded with posts, theories, and debates. "The Monstrous Rookie is Back!" trended across multiple platforms. Fan forums buzzed with speculation, old clips of his past performances resurfaced, and news outlets rushed to cover his return.
"Where has he been for ten years?""How did he vanish at the peak of his career?""Will he dominate the industry again?"
The anticipation was unlike anything seen before.
Amidst the storm, Snow received a call—an invitation for his first official interview since his comeback.
At first, he refused. He never liked interviews. He didn't want to sit under bright lights and answer probing questions from people who only cared about his popularity. But after some thought, he realized… this was necessary.
If his enemies were watching, he had to send them a message.
He wasn't just returning—he was reclaiming his place.
The Interview Begins
The dimly lit studio was buzzing with quiet excitement. The camera lights flickered on, illuminating the grand stage. Snow sat on a black leather chair, his posture relaxed but commanding. Across from him sat the interviewer, Daniel Park, a veteran journalist known for asking sharp, unfiltered questions.
The audience was silent, waiting.
Daniel smiled warmly, but his eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Welcome back, Snow. It's been a long time."
Snow nodded, a small, polite smile on his lips. "It has."
Daniel leaned forward. "You were once the nation's most beloved child actor. At just fifteen, you dominated the industry. But then, one day… you vanished. No explanations, no goodbyes. Can I ask—why did you leave?"
Snow's fingers lightly tapped against his knee. The question was expected. He had already prepared an answer.
"I left because I had to." His voice was calm, measured. "There were personal reasons that made it impossible for me to continue acting."
Daniel didn't back down. "Rumors say that after your parents' passing, you lost your passion for acting. That you blamed yourself. Is that true?"
A heavy silence filled the studio. Snow's expression didn't change, but the atmosphere shifted.
"…I did blame myself." His voice was softer now, distant. "It took me a long time to accept that some things are beyond our control."
The audience held their breath.
Daniel, sensing the tension, smoothly transitioned. "And now, ten years later, you're back. What changed?"
Snow exhaled. "I realized that running away doesn't change anything. No matter how far I went, the past never left me. So instead of running, I decided to face it."
Daniel nodded. "That's a powerful mindset." He glanced at his notes before smirking. "But tell me, Snow—do you still have it? That monstrous talent?"
Snow raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you watch my next film and find out?"
The audience chuckled, but Daniel wasn't done. "Last question." He leaned forward, lowering his voice. "You were betrayed once, weren't you? By the industry, by those close to you. Do you trust the people around you now?"
Snow's jaw tightened, but his lips curled into a smirk.
"Trust?" He tilted his head slightly. "Let's just say… I've learned to be careful."
The studio fell silent.
The camera zoomed in on his unreadable expression before fading to black.
After the Interview
Back on set the next day, Liam clapped him on the back, grinning. "Damn, you're already taking over the industry again. The fans are insane."
Aria, who had tried to maintain her composure, sighed. "Your presence… it's overwhelming."
Snow chuckled. "Is that a compliment?"
Meanwhile, from the shadows, Ryan watched him closely. His fingers clenched into a fist.
Snow's rise was happening too fast. And that was a problem.
