Chapter 65
“Just an ordinary shareholder?” Callum’s voice broke through my thoughts. “Is that what he told you?”
I nodded, clearly remembering Dean’s words.
A faint smile tugged at Callum’s lips as his eyes shifted toward Dean. “He left out a word before it. The most important one, I would say-Largest.”
I blinked.
Then again, as my thoughts stalled.
Largest? As in the largest shareholder?
Was he trying to say Dean was essentially the biggest stakeholder in Raven Entertainment?
For a full moment, all I could do was stare.
What the fudge?
LILITH
Now I understood why he could strut around Callum’s office as if it were his own backyard.
Well, technically, it was.
I shot him a deadly glare.
‘You sure have been hiding deeply enough, Mr. Callahan.”
I couldn’t believe I had lived an entire lifetime and still missed a secret of this scale.
Although, to be fair, I was pretty sure the Scotts hadn’t known either, because in my past life, whenever they mentioned Dean, it was always in a superior, dismissive tone-as if he was nowhere near their level.
But if he was truly the largest shareholder of Raven Entertainment, an international conglomerate, then he was absolutely on par with them.

“1
So the only explanation was that the Scotts themselves had no idea
Dean met my glare, honest innocence plastered across his face.
But you never asked, and I saw no reason to bring it up…”
As if Keep pretending
Callum looked like he was enjoying the drama.
“That’s not all,” he continued leisurely. “He also has another identity. Do you want me to tell you?”
“Cal.” Dean’s voice dropped low, sharp with warning. “Don’t you dare.
Callum ignored him completely and repeated the question, eyes gleaming with mischief. “Do you want to know?”
I nodded immediately, my curiosity piqued despite myself. “Yes.”
“Have you heard of Astral Studios before? A game company?”
Astral Studios? The name struck something familiar in my memory.
And then it hit me.
Astral Studios was the company behind that action RPG-the one that took the world by storm before Raven adapted it into an equally popular TV series.
“Of course, I’ve heard of them,” I replied, glancing at Dean, who seemed completely unbothered now. “But what does that have to do with him?”
A slow smirk tugged at Callum’s lips as he dropped the bombshell. “Dean is the founder and CEO of Astral Studios.”
“…What?” My voice came out as a strangled croak.
If my brain had merely malfunctioned when I learned he was Raven’s largest shareholder, then this time it shut down entirely.
Dean. Astral Studios. Founder. CEO.
I understood the words individually, but when put together, they felt incomprehensible.

And Callum wasn’t finished.
“And since we’re laying all the cards on the table…” He shot Dean a teasing look. “…he’s also been eyeing something else.
My hands curled into fists.
Honestly. I wanted to tell him I’d had enough revelations for one day-but Callum didn’t wait, making me think that he might just be hiding his love for drama underneath his cold
exterior
“The exclusive gaming rights to your comic. He’s interested in it.”
My throat tightened as my gaze slowly shifted to the man seated beside me, a man who suddenly seemed unfamiliar.
Dean-the founder of Astral Studios-wanted the gaming rights to my work?
How was Callum so good at stringing words into combinations my brain found hard to process?
Then I thought back to yesterday in Freya’s office.
