With introductions done, the crew steered them to a fleet of vehicles destined for a grand farmhouse.
This would be their set for the coming days.
Ariana’s gaze swept over the farmhouse. It was a marvel, with age-old structures stacked like a
pyramid. At the pinnacle stood a majestic villa, a relic from the previous century, whispered to be the
landowner’s prized possession.
Melon, awestruck yet a tad jittery, clung to Ariana as they walked around.
Suddenly, a mysterious character resembling a wizened old man sprang up and theatrically greeted
them, “Hey folks! I’m your estate keeper, and I’ve got a juicy tidbit for y’all. This villa contains many

Melon, unsettled by the story, sought refuge behind Ariana. Ariana soothingly whispered, “Don’t worry.
There are plenty of rooms here.
We don’t have to stay in that villa.”
As she spoke, the host beckoned everyone for the room draw.
Given Melon’s tender age, they were given the honor of drawing first.
Hand in hand, Ariana and Melon approached the container, drawing a slip each and presenting them to
the host.
A dramatic pause later, the host proclaimed, “Well, isn’t this a turn of events? You two have landed the
mountaintop villa!” Handing the key to a slightly overwhelmed Melon, the host added with a playful
smirk, “Remember, tread carefully, and steer clear of the third floor!”

and mild concern.
Upon entering the venue, Ariana and her son followed the show’s itinerary without comment.
The celebrity contestants were diverse, although fathers slightly outnumbered the mothers. Many
challenges set up by the production team were designed to test physical prowess, such as fish-
catching races. According to the rules, the individual who achieved the objective first would gain priority

Thanks to her fitness routine as a single mother managing a Lively child, she found the challenges
relatively easy, consistently securing first place.
One contestant, actor Remy Dixon, grew increasingly frustrated. He was a tall figure with a physique
that often typecast him as a menacing antagonist. Some of the younger contestants were even hesitant
around him.
Upon witnessing Ariana’s consistent lead, he snapped, “She’s got to have better equipment! How else
can she keep beating everyone?”
Ariana, maintaining her composure, merely chuckled. Handing over her tools, she offered, “Let’s swap
and see if that’s truly the case.”
Though he scoffed, Remy agreed. But as the subsequent challenge kicked off, Ariana once again
surpassed everyone effortlessly.
