Valentino's POV

I 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

    Sasha's POVValentino didn’t take me home but brought me to a very luxurious restaurant.“Don’t you go home for dinner?” I asked, surprised, as I got out of the car.“We’ll eat out and then go back. I’ll also show you the car,” he said as if it were obvious.“Oh,” I replied, pursing my lips as I looked at him. “Aren’t you going to be with Sandra?”I wondered why he was spending time with me if he was supposed to be getting back together with her.Valentino’s mood darkened when I mentioned Sandra. He frowned and didn’t say anything; he just took my hand and led me inside.I wondered if Valentino was angry about Sandra. Was it so bad to bring her up?Not wanting to make things worse, I stayed quiet and avoided saying anything more that might upset him.Lately, Valentino had been in a better mood, not torturing me like before.Once inside the restaurant, Valentino ordered a lot of delicious food that I liked. I was surprised and a bit stunned.I didn’t even know he knew my preferences so

    Sasha's POV“Talk to her?” I asked.“That’s right,” Valentino said as he sat down. He noticed some cream on my face from the dessert and couldn’t help but laugh. There was a hint of affection in his smile as he reached out to wipe it off. “You eat like a little cat. No one’s grabbing it from you; you can take your time.”“I wasn’t eating fast,” I said, frowning and wiping my cheek with my hand.Seeing me like this, Valentino’s heart softened instantly. Compared to Sandra, I must look like a child, but he seemed to find it endearing.“Have you had enough? Is there anything else you want to eat?” Valentino asked with a trace of affection that he probably didn’t even realize.“No, I’m full. Let’s go back,” I said.Valentino paid the bill, and as we left, he kept his eyes on me. My happiness seemed to make him inexplicably happy, too. But if I was upset, he was also noticeably down.“Let’s go check out the car,” Valentino said. “There’s an auto show nearby. You can choose one if you like.

    Sasha's POV“Boss, that’s different,” Rose said, frowning.“What’s different? Or do you want to be in charge here?” Valentino’s voice was sharp.Seeing Rose’s attitude, Valentino was frustrated, feeling like she was bullying me.I looked at Rose with satisfaction, raised my eyebrows, and gave a little victory gesture.Valentino noticed these small gestures. He thought I was cute but also wondered why I seemed to be targeting Rose. What had she done to me? Did she bully me when he wasn’t around?His face changed as he realized this possibility.When Rose went to get the mop, Valentino looked directly at me and asked, “Did she bully you?”“You mean Rose?” I nodded. “She’s very old and uses her seniority to not show me respect. She’s wronged me a lot. But you probably won’t believe it.”A hint of sadness crossed my face as I spoke.“I don’t believe it? How could I not believe you? Tell me what happened,” Valentino said, his voice cold.Thinking about how I might have been mistreated whil

    Sasha's POV“I’m sorry, Boss. I know I’m wrong. Please don’t fire me,” Rose begged, kneeling in front of Valentino.“Now you admit your mistake, but what about before?” Valentino’s cold, sharp eyes stared at Rose.Rose had worked in this villa for a long time. She used to be serious and responsible, but over time, she became arrogant and careless, thinking she was above everyone. I never expected she’d frame me like this.If it weren’t for me, Valentino wouldn’t have known Rose would lie and get the other maids to back her up.“You shouldn’t be asking me for forgiveness. You should be apologizing to whoever you hurt,” Valentino said coldly.Rose was stunned by his words. Beg me for forgiveness? Was that even possible? Would I listen to her?She gave me a hard look, but then stopped. She suddenly stood up and said, “I know you won’t forgive me no matter what, so I’m not going to beg.”I couldn’t help but feel confused by her reaction. It’s like she was saying she was in the right.“Whe

    Sasha's POVIn the past few days, Valentino has been picking me up almost every day.My crew colleagues have noticed him and even dared to ask for autographs and take photos with him. Some even chatted with him.They’ve found out that Valentino isn’t as scary as the rumors say. Despite being a powerful figure, he’s really good to me.Because of Valentino, I ended up on hot search again.On Instagram, there are comments everywhere about Valentino being handsome and overbearing, while people say I’m lucky to have such a husband.Some even suggest that I got the role of No. 3 in the cast because Valentino helped me get it, to fulfill my wish.Looking at these comments on Instagram, I find them both funny and annoying.They completely distort the facts.My relationship with Valentino is just contractual, OK? There’s no love involved. The role of female No. 3 is due to Director Hugo’s choice, not because of Valentino.But honestly, I don’t care about these online comments. As an actor, I c

    Sasha's POVWhen I heard Valentino call Fred a perv, I twitched my mouth. “What can Fred be? He’s a big star. Do you have a misunderstanding about him?”“Doesn’t he like men?” Valentino said coldly. “Isn’t that abnormal? What’s interesting about him?”“Even if he likes men, it’s not a perversion. Homosexuality isn’t a disease,” I said, feeling frustrated. “You shouldn’t say that about Fred. He’s a really nice person.”I kept defending Fred.Valentino was clearly cold and confused.“Maybe that’s why he gets close to people like you. He says he’s gay, then gets close to women, and then causes trouble for them. I see so many people like this. You’re foolish for getting close to him. You don’t even know who to turn to when it goes wrong.” Valentino said this with a cold tone.I laughed, “You care about me?”“What can I care about you? I just want to remind you that you’re my wife now. Do you think I’d be happy if my wife cheated on me?” Valentino said, looking annoyed.His face was dark,

    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
