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,
Sasha's POVSitting next to me, Valentino looked a bit nervous.We usually drive ourselves or have a driver who doesn’t drive this fast. But I seemed to have no fear and drove like a madwoman. I was overtaking the cars in front of me in no time.Soon, I was in second place.Valentino was surprised. He didn’t expect me to be such a skilled driver. I might look soft and weak, but I was fearless behind the wheel.Eventually, I caught up to the first car.The driver of the other car shouted through the open window, “Want to race?”“Yes!” I called back with a smile. “I’m going to beat you! Is the prize mine?”“Of course,” the driver replied with a grin. “But you have to win first. If I lose, there’ll be no prize.”“Alright, let’s go!” I said, laughing.I made a sharp turn, the car nearly floating as I quickly caught up with the leader.With the finish line ahead, I pushed the car to its limits.Before long, I passed the car in front of me, finishing just ahead.I stopped the car and jumped
Sasha's POV “What are you laughing at?” Valentino frowned.“No, it just looks like you’re out of place here,” I said with a smile. I think I look pretty good when I smile, with my eyes curving up and my thick eyelashes. It probably makes me look cute.There are two dimples that make my smile really sweet.It’s different from Sandra.Sandra’s smile isn’t as simple as mine.I noticed Valentino was comparing me to Sandra, and it seemed ridiculous to me. After all, we’re two different people.Shaking off those thoughts, Valentino looked around. Everyone here seemed so happy. Even though they were all students, they looked way more carefree and joyful than he seemed to be.Even though the place wasn’t the cleanest, seeing the happy students around made the mood feel relaxed.I had ordered a lot of food, and soon it all arrived—spicy hot chicken barbecue, and various snacks.The table was piled with food.Valentino looked at all the food and said, “Why did you order so much? I can’t eat th
