Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 55

He was one of them, too.

When had she changed?

Tyler lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

Maybe it all started with that upheaval in the Dennis family. Or perhaps…it was because of her mother.

As for making exceptions, Tyler pulled himself together. He had made countless exceptions over the course of his life; by now, such things barely registered with him.

…

The Voice of the Divine livestream was still in full swing.

Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar.

Everyone was talking about Vivienne's performance—her original song, "Faint Whispers," had just dropped, and it was everywhere. At the top of every discussion thread was a comment that read:

"I can't stop crying—Faint Whispers = Vivienne = stomach cancer. Vivienne's love for Tyler, and now she's dying of cancer. This song sums up her whole life!"

Other comments quickly piled on, the debate growing more and more heated—

"Right? Once I realized it, I was floored. This song was made for her!"

"Do you guys even know Vivienne wrote this herself?"

"Exactly! The most beautiful three-line poem—Singer: Vivienne. Lyrics: Vivienne. Composer: Vivienne."

"She's incredible! She's not even a professional singer, just wrote a song on her own, and it's better than anything most people could dream of."

"The last two singers were pros, and even they couldn't outshine her talent. Honestly, I doubt any act later in the show will top Vivienne's stage."

"Agreed!"

"You all don't know—the only person who can beat Vivienne is Vivienne herself! Go check the trending topics right now!"

"Rumor is, this was the very first version. Did you notice? The demo's file name isn't even ‘Faint Whispers,' it's ‘Glimmer.' Must've been a rough draft before the song was finalized."

"Still, I like this one best—it sounds like she's playing live, just messing around. Don't come for me, but I'd pick this over the polished version any day!"

"Honestly, same here. And it makes sense, right? You can hear how rough it is—she must've been caught up in the emotion. Vivienne's not a pro singer, so of course the rehearsal and formal versions feel different."

"Bottom line: Vivienne wrote this herself, so it's all her—every version. What else can I say? She's a genius."

"Absolutely, Vivienne is amazing!"

"The only person who can outdo Vivienne is Vivienne herself!"

The internet was ablaze with speculation, but Vivienne herself seemed too busy with the ongoing show to respond.

Almost immediately, someone sprang into action—reaching out to the producers, preparing to ask Vivienne live on air about the trending "studio demo" of Faint Whispers.
