Sasha's POV

I went upstairs to my room, feeling a heavy ache in my heart and throat.

Valentino didn’t believe me at all.

I had never caused trouble for him, never planned anything against him, but he still didn’t trust me.

I felt cold inside, with a bitter smile on my lips.

If he doesn’t believe me, so be it. Anyway, I’ll be leaving sooner or later. It doesn’t really matter if he believes me or not.

Sandra is already moving into the house. I probably won’t be here for long. What I need to do now is to become stronger and earn more money as soon as possible. I can only rely on myself.

I took a bath to clear my mind, then read the script and went over the lines for the first day before going to bed.

The next morning, I got up early to catch a taxi or bus.

I couldn’t afford to be late on my first day at the cast. It’s a rare opportunity.

I skipped breakfast and got ready to leave.

Rose was also up. When she saw me, she said sarcastically, “You don’t believe what I said. Now you

    Sasha's POVIn the temporary tent, I changed into my costume. I had several beautiful outfits to choose from.At first, I wore light-colored clothes like goose yellow, light pink, and light blue. They looked very elegant.Later, I'd wear darker clothes for the role in the play.I found the costumes really interesting.It was my first time wearing ancient clothes, and I thought they looked great on me.The makeup artist did my makeup, and the hairdresser styled my hair. Soon, I looked like I’d stepped out of ancient times.In the mirror, I almost didn’t recognize myself. My long hair, pretty hairpins, and little decorations made me look so clean and polished."It's beautiful," the stylist said, clearly amazed. "You look like you belong in ancient times.""Really?" I smiled."I think you’re on par with Kourtney. Young and stunning," said a junior makeup artist."Shh, don’t say that! If Kourtney hears you, you’ll be in trouble!" the senior makeup artist warned."I’m just speaking the tru

    Sasha's POV"You tripped me!" Kourtney yelled."Kourtney, you must be joking. How could I trip you? Our feet were far apart. How could I trip you from that distance?" I said, my mouth twitching.I understood what Kourtney meant.She was looking for trouble with me."Kourtney, you spilled the wine yourself. Just because you're a top actress doesn't mean you can blame us newcomers. We are very careful when filming, especially since it's our first time. We wouldn't make such a small mistake." I looked at Kourtney seriously.Kourtney was taken aback, not expecting me to talk back.She was used to being the only one to speak, with no newcomers daring to blame her.But I didn't hold back. I directly said it wasn't my fault.People around me started pointing at Kourtney.Even though Kourtney's actions weren't that obvious, given the distance between us, there was no way our feet could have touched and caused her to almost fall."I said you tripped me, so you did," Kourtney said coldly. "Why

    Sasha's POVKourtney burst through the door with a group of people, covering her mouth in mock shock. "Sasha, what are you doing with these three men?""Nothing much. These guys ended up in the wrong room, so I beat them up." I dusted off my hands and kicked the man on the ground, glaring at Kourtney.Kourtney's face turned sour. She probably expected to catch me in a compromising situation, but instead, I handled her hired thugs easily."Get out!" I shouted at the men on the ground.They scrambled to their feet and ran out."So, everyone’s here? I thought I was in the wrong room," I said with a smile."No, this is the right room." Kourtney smiled back, but her eyes were cold.I smiled back at her, warning her silently. She couldn't mess with me easily.Kourtney was clearly frustrated.She probably hoped to embarrass me and get me kicked out of the cast, but now everyone saw how strong I was instead.Some people were already praising me."Sasha, have you trained? You're really strong,

    Sasha's POVI was chatting and singing with everyone in the private room. I was being myself, so I got along well with the group.Everyone seemed to like me a lot.After a while, I noticed Kourtney and Felicia coming back.Felicia looked at me and then picked up a wine glass. "Sasha, have a drink," she said.I laughed and refused. "I don't drink well, and I don't want it to affect filming tomorrow. So, no thanks.""Really? Kourtney is offering you a drink, and you're going to refuse?" Felicia frowned. "Are you really going to disrespect her?"She looked around at everyone.People started nodding. "Just have one drink, Sasha. You haven't had a single drink yet!""Come on, Sasha, you were the chairman of RexCorp. You must have had to drink at social events!""Yeah, just have one drink!""Have a drink! Have a drink!"Everyone was urging me to drink.It seemed like I couldn't say no."Okay, but just one drink," I said, looking at the crowd."Fine, just one drink!" Felicia smiled.I took t

    Valentino's POV I was with Sandra originally.She kept explaining her past, saying she could make up for everything and wanted to come back to me.Looking at Sandra, I felt moved.This is the woman I’ve always loved and couldn’t forget. Even when I close my eyes to sleep, I think of her.I’ve waited so long for her apology.So when Sandra admitted her mistakes and apologized, my heart wavered."I'm sorry. Whether you forgive me or not, I need to apologize. I’ll do anything you want. I know I hurt you, but I’ve been more hurt than you. I came back for you," Sandra said, looking at me with deep emotion.Then my phone rang.I picked it up and saw it was Sasha calling. I hesitated but decided to answer.There was no sound on the other end."Hello? Sasha?" I asked. "Why aren’t you talking?"The call connected, but there was no response from Sasha. Just as I thought she might have dialed by accident, I heard several screams.My face changed. I shouted into the phone, "Where are you?"My f

    Valentino's POVI pushed Sasha away and pulled her into the bathroom. She reached for me, but I avoided her and threw her into the bathtub filled with cold water.The sudden shock of the cold water snapped Sasha out of her daze. The icy sensation made her tears nearly spill.She’d been feeling so hot before. The cold water was like she’d fallen into an ice mountain.Her dizzy head cleared up a lot. She noticed she was only in her underwear and clutched her body tightly, looking up at me.I asked her, “Sober now?”She quickly nodded. “Did you save me?”I just looked at her.“Thank you,” she said hurriedly. “You should go out first.”I replied, “I don’t know. Sorry? Sorry, I didn’t see you when you took off your clothes. Are you stupid? Every time you get drugged, do you enjoy it?” I was really frustrated.It wasn’t that the drugs were enjoyable; she hadn’t expected to be drugged. She thought Felicia and Kourtney just wanted to drink with her, not that the drink was spiked.I turned and

    Sasha's POVThe car horn beeped twice more.I was startled again. I was about to turn around and yell when I noticed the car looked familiar. A second glance told me it was Valentino driving.He pulled up beside me, rolled down the window, and said, “Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride.”I was momentarily stunned. “Valentino?”“Get in. I’ll take you to the filming location,” he explained patiently.I hesitated for a moment, then got in the front passenger seat.“Why are you up so early? You usually don’t leave this early,” I asked as I fastened my seatbelt.“I just woke up,” Valentino said, frowning. He wasn’t going to admit that he got up early just to see me off.“Alright,” I said, shrugging and giving him the address.As he drove, he said, “It’s inconvenient to drive here. You can take any car from the garage.”“I’m not comfortable driving your car. I’m planning to rent a place closer to the set so I can sleep in a bit and have more convenience,” I explained.“Rent a place?” His f

    Sasha's POVI noticed a trace of coldness in Kourtney’s eyes. She didn’t say anything about what happened last night, but I could tell she had it on her mind.“Good morning, Kourtney,” I said, smiling at Kourtney in front of me.Kourtney looked at me coldly, clearly surprised that I could keep acting like nothing was wrong. I could see she really wanted to get me off the show. I was causing too much trouble for her.When the director started shooting, I got into character right away. I performed well against Kourtney’s opponent, and since Kourtney was trying to undermine my performance, it actually made me perform even better.For the first time, Kourtney seemed to be overshadowed. After one scene, she had a cold sweat on her forehead.“Kourtney, what’s going on with you? Your acting skills have dropped recently. I always thought you were great, which is why I cast you as the lead. You need to pull it together,” the director said angrily when he saw Kourtney’s poor performance.“I’m n

    Valentino’s POV I promised if I found Sasha, I was going to make her my wife. This time for real and no longer would she be a placeholder. “Arrgh,” I screamed as Jared let me in on Sasha being kidnapped by that fool, Dave Martin. I had beaten him to a bulb and had him leave her alone. After all these years, all these moments, he had been lurking, laying siege to Sasha, and I..I foolishly let her leave into harm’s way. Sasha was a beautiful bird and a lot of predators were circling her, trying to take advantage of her. “Get me Dave on the line, Jared,” my voice hurried as I threw my fists in the air. “Dave Partner boss?” Jared questioned. I didn’t know if to smack his face or to laugh this over with but there were no jokes tonight. Only thing on my mind was getting Sasha back, here with me, whole and as my real wife. “Fuck it Jared, I’m talking about Dave Martin, get him on the line now. Didn’t you just tell me he’s the one who’s got Sasha and you're talking some gibberish.”

    Sasha’s POV “Let me go…please..let..me..g…” I had a wood plank on my head and I lost consciousness. It was at this moment I wished I had not run away from Valentino. Problems seemed to follow me each time I was away from him. He was a refuge and a strong fortress for me and this time, more than ever, I hoped he’d found me. I felt a weight over my body as I slowly gained consciousness. Studying the environment, I opened my right eye slowly, as it hurt so much, and my head hurt so much to open even my very own eyes. I was tied up in a chair and I couldn’t tell where exactly I was but it didn’t seem like a warehouse. I could tell this was someone’s house but couldn’t tell who exactly it was. “I am blindfolded so how do I even know where this is,” I uttered under my breath. Maybe I should scream and some passer-by could come to my rescue or call the police and I could get out of here. I didn’t want any of those men who must have brought me here to find me here. They were damn mea

    Sasha’s POV “What was that?” I yelled, my voice shaking with frustration. I couldn’t believe Emilia had let me down like this. She was the only one I had trusted with my secret, the only person who knew exactly where I was. I had begged her not to tell anyone until I was far away, safe in Spain. And now, it felt like everything was crashing down around me. I felt this deep pain in my chest like someone was pressing down on me with the weight of a thousand boulders. Everything I loved had been ripped away from me. My family was gone, my company had been stolen from me, and even Valentino—my Valentino—was no longer by my side. There was nothing left for me here. Nothing. But when I heard Valentino’s voice over the phone, it did something to me. It was like a tiny spark in a room full of darkness. My heart, which had felt so cold and broken, suddenly stirred with the smallest flicker of life. “I can’t do this anymore,” I whispered, talking to no one but myself. “I can’t stay here.

    Valentino's POV I grab Emilia’s phone and frantically try to call Sasha, but I can’t get through. Frustrated, I look at Emilia coldly and ask, "Do you know where she is? What do you know about her?" "I... I don’t know," Emilia says, frowning. "Sasha is being super careful this time. She didn’t tell me where she’s staying. She said you might come looking for her through me, so she didn’t want to risk it because she thinks I can't keep a secret." Emilia pouts, looking all upset. "But it's late. Maybe she's already asleep, so not picking up isn’t that weird." Jared turns to me. "What about tomorrow?" I frown, thinking it over for a second. "Track her number. Find out where Sasha is," I say, determined. "Alright, I’ll get someone to track her phone and find her," Jared replies, nodding. Emilia just watches us, looking a little confused. She pouts again, like she’s thinking something over, but doesn’t say anything after a while. Finally, she shrugs. "You guys do your thing. I’m

    Valentino's POV Sasha disappeared, and for two days, I, Valentino, searched for her, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.Jared was looking everywhere too. He tried all kinds of things, but it felt like someone was always getting in the way. Many surveillance cameras had been hacked, and some videos were missing, so he couldn’t find Sasha directly.I was left with no choice but to use the simplest method: sending a lot of people to ask about Sasha’s whereabouts.All over the city, people were taking photos of Sasha, trying to find out where she was.But no one knew where she had gone.It was like she had vanished completely.I was losing my mind. I couldn’t believe Sasha had disappeared from my life, and I just couldn’t accept it.“It’s time for you to eat, sir,” one of the maids said, sounding worried about me. I had lost a lot of weight in just two days. “Even if you don’t eat, your wife might not show up. You should have a good meal. I don’t think she would want to see you like this.

    Sasha's POV I looked at Gabriel like he was an idiot. "If I went to be a cook with this kind of skill, I'd probably get myself killed..."Seriously, who doesn’t know how to make hot pot? It’s just tossing everything into a pot to cook. When I was studying abroad and craved hot pot, I used to make it in my dorm all the time."Really? It all looks so delicious. You seem pretty talented. How could you get yourself killed? If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll take care of them first," Gabriel said, grabbing his chopsticks to sneak a taste.Once I finished setting the table, I told him, "Sit down and eat.""Alright," he replied.But just as Gabriel was about to sit, the doorbell rang."Who is it?" I asked, looking at him."I'll go check. Maybe it's some big star!" Gabriel joked as he ran to the door, chatting briefly with whoever was outside.From the sound of it, it seemed like more than one person had shown up. A little curious, I peeked out and saw a familiar face.Why is he here?I

    Sasha's POV The maid stopped me as I was leaving and asked, "Where are you going, ma'am?"It seemed like she was confused about why I was leaving. Everyone always thought my husband and I were close, so this sudden departure must've seemed strange. Maybe they thought Sandra had some evil plan to push me out.The maids didn’t trust Sandra. They knew she wasn’t a good person, and it seemed like they wanted me to stay.I smiled at the maid and said, "I'm leaving. I'll see you later."I tried to walk out with my head held high, pretending everything was okay. But inside, I was breaking. I was sad, hurt, and didn’t want to leave at all.As I walked out, I could feel Sandra’s eyes on me. I knew she was smiling, satisfied with herself. With me gone, she probably thought she could hide better and make Valentino forget about me.The maids were glaring at Sandra, clearly not happy with her. But she didn’t care. She knew she would be the lady of the house soon and could treat them however she l

    Valentino's POV I came back home, but I couldn’t sleep all night.Early the next morning, my phone rang. It was my grandfather telling me to come back to the old house.“I got it. I’ll be there soon,” I replied before hanging up.After changing into a fresh set of clothes, I went to Sasha’s room. She drank too much last night and stayed up late, so she was still fast asleep. Her sleeping posture was a bit messy, almost childlike, but she looked so cute.I tucked her in before heading downstairs.“My wife is still sleeping. When she wakes up, make sure to prepare some breakfast and soup to help with the hangover. If she’s not feeling well, call a doctor to check on her. I’m heading out.”“Yes, sir.”I drove off, leaving the maids to continue their work. I overheard them talking about yesterday and how drunk my wife had gotten.But one thing was clear—they knew I cared about her. They’d make sure she was well taken care of.I pulled up in front of the old house in my car. As I stepped
