My Extraordinary Wife

To no one’s surprise, the first contestant in the International Piano Competition finals gained a decent score from the judging committee.

More contestants took to the stage for their turns, and while some flourished, others floundered.

As a special guest judge for the competition, Caleb naturally scored the contestants as objectively as he could.

One of the contestants got a very low score, yet she muttered through sobs, “I have no regrets left in my life after meeting Mr. Powell in person. My heart is full even though I’ve lost.”

Soon enough, it was Hera’s turn to compete.

She took a deep breath before exiting backstage, her heels clicking across the floor.

Hera was confident of winning the competition because of her recent hard work.

She did not disappoint Sisley as her fingers traveled nimbly across the black and white keys and brought a beautiful piece to life.

Hera’s piece of choice was technically challenging and would have stayed off the list of options of most contestants, yet she did not shy away from the complex composition.
