Chapter 443
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 443 Chapter 443 Clips of all the nominated actors played one by one on the big screen. Nyx tilted her head up, watching intently. When it got to her part, she felt too shy to look, but the two guys beside her stared without blinking âWhy are you guys watching so seriously?â Nyx asked, reaching out to cover their eyes and tugging at their clothes.
Seafarion deliberately leaned into her pull, getting closer. His voice was soft as he whispered in her ear, âNyx, you look good,â
The warm breath brushed her ear, making Nyx shiver. Then Kaiâs voice came from her other side. âI could recite this scene by heart.â
While they were whispering, the music suddenly swelled, and the spotlight landed on Nyx, illuminating the two guys clinging to her as well.
Nyx looked up, startled, just as the presenter loudly called her name, âBest Supporting ActressâNyx!â
If it were anyone else winning, theyâd have already acted surprised or touched, then stood up to hug everyone around them before strutting onstage to accept the award.
But Nyx was still caught up in the panic of being caught whispering. Like a startled bunny, she lost control of her expression for a moment. A wave of friendly laughter rippled through the crowd.
This closeâup moment made it back home online, turning the internet into a sea of laughter. Some overâtheâtop fans even screenshot Nyxâs wideâeyed look, turning it into a meme with the caption: [Caught in the Act], [I laughed so hardâhahaha!]
[So cute, so cute!]
[What were they chatting about? Could they let me in on it?]
[Nyxâs ears turned red.]
[Did anyone notice Seafarion and Kaiâs looks? Really worth savoring.]
[Of course! It was so obvious! They were staring at Nyx the whole time!]
[That host sure knew how to stir things up!]
Nyx had just regained her composure and smoothly delivered her acceptance speech when the host suddenly asked, âYour gown today is stunning. Did you have it customâmade with someone special?â
As he spoke, he glanced toward Seafarion and Kai, his gossipâhungry expression plain as day.
Nyx didnât hide anything, but she also didnât want to announce her relationship status in such a grand, formal setting. She brushed it off vaguely. âMmâhmm, it was specially made for this awards ceremony.â
Truth was, she hadnât known beforehand. It wasnât until right before the event that she realized those two had sneakily coordinated matching outfits with her.
The host flashed a subtle, satisfied smile, like heâd just gotten the tea he wanted. In this industry, not denying something was as good as admitting it.
The gossipâhungry crowd left feeling fully satisfied.
[Perfectâitâs official now.]

Chapter 443 [I approve of this match!]
[The three of them just need to live happilyâthat matters more than anythingâ]
After the ceremony, a few backstage photos leaked. One minute Nyx was wearing Seafarionâs suit jacket, the next it was Kaiâs, sealing the romance rumors for good.
The upper crust always got the juiciest scoops firstâtheyâd been munching on this gossip for ages.
Employees at Tanis Group had been in on it for a while too. As long as Seafarion wasnât in the group chat, they fangirled freely, shipping whoever they wanted. Some had even openly shipped Nyx and Kai before, though now theyâd all jumped on the âall togetherâ bandwagon.
Meanwhile, in the Nyx demon clan fan club group chat, the demons felt a mix of emotions. For once, the chat went quiet Theyâd always avoided talking about this topic.
But no matter how much they dodged it, they couldnât change the fact that Kai and Nyx were in a hotâandâheavy romance. Now, they couldnât keep fooling themselves anymore.
[Ahhh.]
[When did they get back together?]
[Why would they get back together? How could Nyx go back to an ex?]
[This hurts, ugh.]
[Nyx is perfect in every way except for dating Lord Kai.]
[@NyxâsLittleAssistant, how do you do your job? Youâre right there with Nyxâwhy didnât you talk her out of it?]
Helly got dragged into the mess and felt wronged. She replied: [I didnât dare.]
Helly: [Lord Kaiâs busy vying for her attention every day. If I got in his way, heâd definitely tear me apart, sob sob sob!]
Helly: [And itâs not a reunion. Lord Kai said they never broke up.]
To think he was that lovesick. Seeing Kai so far gone, the demon clan felt hopeless. They knew deep down how inseparable he and Nyx wereâno amount of persuasion could change that.
Helly: [Honestly, I think itâs fine now. Itâs not as bad as it seems.]
Helly: [Theyâve been together this long, and Lord Kaiâs still doing greatânot weakened at all.]
Helly: [And heâs living so happily nowâhavenât you noticed?]
Anyone who knew Kai even a little could tell his energy was livelier than before, his emotions richer too. Thatâs because he was with someone he liked.
With just a few words, Helly convinced most of the fans. The worried demon clan members mostly backed off.
[The little fox is right.]
[I hate villains who break up couples in tv shows, but now Iâve become that villain myself.]
[No more persuasionâtheyâre in the honeymoon phase. Forcing them apart would just make them pine for each other more. Letâs wait it outâmaybe theyâll break up on their own someday.]
[Since Lord Kaiâs fine for now, let them keep dating.]

[Nyxâs black dress today was gorgeousâso flattering, drool.]
[Have you noticed Nyx put on a little weight? I love itâshe looks soft, makes me wanna cuddle her.]

[Seems like the entertainment industryâs been into healthy beauty since last year. Those stickâthin stars are all bulking up.]
[Thatâs a good thing! Otherwise, Nyx starving herself for the camera would break my heart!]
The chat returned to its usual vibe, buzzing with life again after the silence.
Nyx came back home with her award, and everyone in the crew envied her while genuinely congratulating her.
The director teased her, âYour value just shot up even more. Lucky I snagged you early.â
âYouâve got way more awards than me,â Nyx replied with a grin, shaking her head. âWho knows, maybe this show will win something too. Weâre all riding your coattails to the top.â
The director loved hearing that, and so did the actors. It lit a fire under everyone, filling them with ambition. They threw themselves into filming with extra effort.
With the whole team united like that, plus Marilynâs sharp eye picking the crew, itâd be hard for the show not to blow up.
At the celebration party, after a few rounds of drinks, the directorâs face glowed red as he kept praising Nyx. âNyx is really the industryâs lucky charm!â
Since sheâd started, every project she touchedâmovies, shows, lead roles, or supporting onesâturned into a hit. That wasnât something money could buy. Plenty of stars got pushed hard but never made it big.
Nyx was differentâshe was blessed. Their show, thanks to her blessing, soared from the start. Ratings topped the charts, reviews across platforms were stellar, and at this rate, awards were a sure thing.
The director called out, and the actors chimed in, toasting their lucky goddess one glass after another. Even though she was just drinking soda, Nyx couldnât keep up. She slipped away to the bathroom during a break, letting out a long breath.
The window was open, and from the mirror, she caught a glimpse of something. When she glanced up, her peripheral vision seemed to spot a small black shadow crouched there.
