As she snuggled under the cover, Fredrick’s eyes darkened. Without further explanation, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.With the splitter-splattering sound of water going on the other side, Priscila couldn’t fall asleep at all.Those flirting words she heard outside the study, kept echoing in her mind.It sounded so intimate, she wouldn’t believe it if she hadn’t heard it with her own ears.Then she recalled what Frederick said when he forced her to get the Marriage license and the scenes of the past few days. She felt bitter in her heart.Fortunately, they had only been together for a short time. Although they were merely husband and wife, they were more like business partners.Priscilla would try her best to play the role of a wife, while he fulfills his role as a husband when necessary. It was for the better.For someone who had been betrayed once, Priscilla no longer counted on meeting her true love.So all was good... Right?Priscilla kept trying to reassure herself
With a stiffened back, Priscilla dared not make any sudden movement.Amid the darkness, her eyes widened in the darkness.Was he… really asleep?He usually kept to his side of the bed. What was all the sprawling around the bed today? Was he pretending to be asleep?Priscilla waited a moment and Frederick stopped fidgeting too. The pin-drop silence with the man’s faint breathing in the background drew out a frame of tranquility and serenity.When she was sure that the man behind her was indeed asleep, she carefully lifted his arm, trying to move it away.However, the action immediately resulted in murmurs coming from behind her.And the arm rested on her waist tightened to wrap her.What’s more, Frederick’s whole body pressed on her, his handsome face buried in her long hair, as if she was a large-sized pillow. She was imprisoned by him now.Nestled in his embrace, Priscilla was left breathless from the suffocation while her body lay stiffened.The faint breathing spewing between her h
Smirking, Priscilla threw him a glance. “Leo works for you. Do you think I’m so stupid to ask him?”Fredrick choked on her words.But her retort sounded reasonable at a second thought.Well, she was indeed a hard nut to crack. At such a critical moment, even a man as brilliant as him could become a bad problem solver.Indeed, soothing the nerves of one’s wife was a lifesaving skill as he could not make a blunder in a pinch. How did he come up with such an idea?He changed his approach and comforted her, “Well, whatever you say makes sense, but I swear that I never had another woman other than you. If any of my words don’t ring true, I deserve a painful death.”Before Frederick could finish his words, Priscilla’s eyelids throbbed.For some reason, she had a sinking feeling in her stomach, and before she knew it, her hands were already over his mouth.Fredrick laughed.Priscilla glared at him.“I’m telling you, don’t bother fooling me with your tactics. The world wouldn’t have that many
The next day, Priscilla took Gwyneth Gonzalez to Paul’s office as promised.Regina and Terry were also at Paul’s office.Regina was taken by surprise to see Priscilla. She said, “Sister, why are you here too?”Priscilla faintly threw her a glance.Regina adored a proud princess look today, wearing a white dress matched with a jacket of the same color.Following behind her was another girl.Priscilla knew her. She was Regina’s distant cousin, named… Lyla Kelly?Lyla rose to Fame as an online celebrity and signed with Regina’s studio. Her relationship with Regina and their resemblance in appearance earned her the title of Regina’s little sister.Because of this title, she was doing well in the entertainment industry.Regina was also glad to cultivate her. After all, nothing could highlight her beauty and excellence more than a little sister.Priscilla sneered in her heart at the thought of it, and coldly blurted. “is this your office?”That meant, why couldn’t she be here?Regina’s face
Gwyneth may have a round face, but she was natural and adorable. At first, her bearing and face shape did not work in her favour against a strong and persevering character such as Meg Cuneta.It never crossed anyone’s mind that she would come out looking good after styling.She not only inspired Meg Cuneta’s forbearing temperament but also had a kind of natural indifference and conceit.This was a fairly complicated person.After all, she was once a princess of an empire, high above the masses.There was no one above her other than the emperor. Her arrogance was bred in the bone. Even with her country and family in ruins, she could not get rid of it, despite falling into the hands of the enemy.Hence, she had to hide.But she could not hide them all, so he made such a character with all kinds of temperament.After Gwyneth came out, Paul nodded approvingly.The first scene was played by Lyla.This was a flight play. A middle-aged actress would be running the lines with them. The captur
The actors she worked alongside were basically of the same level. She was not fond of learning and made no progress in acting.Moreover, she did not carry any passion for this drama. Costume drama needed hard work. The boundless war and fighting scenes in this drama were laborious.If it weren’t for the importance of the role and the production, she wouldn’t do it.Because of this, she didn’t take it seriously at all. She thought she could make it without much effort.Nonetheless, how was she to act without any supporting actors?The matron was already unto the next line.“I can’t lay a finger on you because you are the princess of the Empire, but they are merely enslaved prisoners. No one will say a word even if they die. Today, you will learn. They will live if you behave well. If not, don’t come blaming me then!”With these words, she gave the whip a violent blow in the air.The exploding crisp noise made Lyla jump.Due to her nervousness, she stuttered and forgot her lines.“If yo
Gwyneth was on her knees and although her hands were tied, her head was held high.She distinctly enunciated each word. “I am a princess of the Empire. Why should I acquire the lowly expertise of a performer? Kill me as you please, but you can never break my spirit!”“Snap!”The whip was wielded.Following a grunt, she quivered out of pain.In the audience, Priscilla suddenly changed her face.When Lyla was auditioning earlier, although the matron waved a whip the whip was skillfully lashed to an empty spot beside her.Although the sound was alarming, the whip never touched her.Yet, Regina whipped Gwyneth intentionally?Caught off guard by her, Gwyneth gawked at Regina but the latter was already running through her next lines.The searing pang on her arm distorted her face, but she quickly snapped back and resumed her acting.Gritting her teeth, she glared at the matron on high and spat.“I can’t teach you a lesson, but I can do so to others. Bring them to me!”It was the same action
Regina’s face stiffened slightly.If she refused, she would be considered mean.Fortunately, she had been acting for so many years, while Priscilla had never engaged in acting, so it was conceivable that she knew anything about acting at all.If she wanted to be humiliated, let her be.Thinking like this, Regina smiled with confidence.“Sure!” Seeing this, Director Romans agreed.He sat back down behind the monitor with a vague sense of manipulation.After all, although he chose Regina to act as Stefanie Marion, to be honest, she was not the perfect candidate in mind.However, without a better candidate on deck, he had to put up with such an arrangement for now.As for Priscilla, he was amazed at first sight.She had a calm and indifferent temperament, which was similar to the character of Stefanie Marion in his mind.That calm yet distant demeanor and the chilling presence presented by the slight furrow between the brows was a similar resemblance to the Stefanie Marion in his mind.B
Fredrick finally could not hold back his laughter when he heard her innocent words. He said blandly, “Could you possibly carry me?”“Of course. I might look tiny, my strength is huge.”“Alright, I’ll let you carry me in the future.”“Deal.”Priscilla was brimming with happiness and she felt that it was the happiest thing in the world.To continue walking with her loved one until they grew old, even without extreme excitements and luxuries, as long as they were both healthy and could stay with each other for the rest of their life, it would be enough.They only reached the foot of the hill when it was noon. They were both starving and thirsty.There were several local-looking restaurants at the foot of the hill, they randomly picked one and entered.After having lunch, they took a taxi on their way back. Proscilla did not sleep well last night. She felt exhausted and sleepy the moment she got into the car, and she fell deeply asleep shortly.It was already evening when she woke up.She
Priscilla glanced at the padlock and seeing his serious and neat writing, her eyelashes trembled a little.Fredrick noticed some romantic words were written on other padlocks after he finished writing the names. He then asked Priscilla for her opinion, “Shall we write something on it?”She asked him in return, “What do you think we should write?”Fredrick felt troubled. He was not the mushy type and he would only say something heart-warming and sappy when he faced her and was brimming with emotions.Yet he truly could not think of any romantic words when they were in the middle of nowhere.Since he had said that, he did not want to give up. After pondering for a while, he took the pen and wrote swiftly on the padlock.Priscilla approached him to take a look, and the words written on top were – “I want to sleep with her forever!”She was speechless.‘Are you kidding me, Mister Lincoln?’Fredrick hung the padlock on the bridge with great satisfaction.Priscilla still had a descendant’s
“Oh, everything is sold out. We’ll have to get some fresh ingredients tomorrow morning. But I got some bread and yogurt this afternoon. You can have them if you want!”Hannah went to the refrigerator, pulled out the bread and yogurt, and presented it to them.Priscilla immediately waved her hand. “It’s okay, you’re running a business here. How could we take it for free?”Fredrick quickly pulled three notes from his wallet and handed them to her.“What are you doing? These are just bread and yogurt. We are all from the same country before, and we are now in a foreign land. I can certainly afford to treat you this.” Hannah said.Priscilla blushed and felt embarrassed.“No, we didn’t mean it that way.”“In any case, take this! There are no stores or restaurants along the way you’re taking, so this will be your final chance to get food.”“Oh, I see,” Priscilla murmured.“Yes, and don’t stay out too late at night since the tourist attractions are packed with all sorts of people. The weathe
“There are so many lovely places! If you go east from here, you will see the Smoking Sea. It is close and offers the finest view. The sea is misty, giving it the appearance of a paradise. If you walk north, you’ll notice a mysterious temple on top of Mount Praia. Make a wish, and it will be granted. Nine out of ten visitors will visit the temple, and many couples like going on dates there as well. If you’re interested, you could go tomorrow because it’s a little late today. Climbing to the peak takes at least half a day.” Hannah explain.“Oh, I heard there’ll be a meteor shower here tomorrow, right?” Priscilla inquired, her eyes wide with curiosity. She looked up tourist attractions and weather forecasts before coming, and it’s been predicted that there would be a meteor shower tomorrow.“Meteor shower?” Hannah shook her head and frowned, “I’ve never heard of that, but you may have a look. Even without the meteor shower, there are plenty of places to visit around the mountain.”Prisc
“I’m not always free, and don’t you want to go on vacation?” Fredrick said sternly.Priscilla’s eyes twinkled, “Of course I do.”She quickly started going over the material and deciding where she wanted to go.As she looked over the documents, she asked if there was any place he wanted to go to. Fredrick was fine with everything because he knew she would start shooting soon and he wouldn’t be able to visit her every day as he was busy, so they would be apart for a short time.So he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her now that he was free.Priscilla was fast to choose a location. After all, she had travelled to numerous locations in the last several years.She chose a few less popular spots and showed him her choice.“These are the locations I had wanted to go when I was alone. They are perfect for this season.Priscilla swiped on the tablet. These were all spots with gorgeous landscapes, ideal for a couple on vacation. He felt satisfied and chose a spot after thinking fo
Her fans did not know what was going on, but they’ve noticed that her Twitter account had not been updated much lately.It also seemed that she had not appeared in many activities recently, let alone dramas.The president of Mika’s fans club had access to her schedule, but at this time, when she went to ask for it, the answer she got was that she had no schedule lately.Everyone was confused.Immediately afterwards, the official account of Anderson International released a statement. The gist of the statement was that Mika’s activities had been suspended for an indefinite period as she had broken her contract.As soon as this statement was posted, there was an uproar on the internet.Anderson International did not give much detail as to what she did. Some media had tried to poke around, but they could not find anything.As a result, speculation grew.As soon as the speculation started, some people got her into more trouble.As a result, all the shameful things that Mika had done in t
“Enough!” Andrei spoke out to interrupt him. “I know that it’s not easy for you either. Things have already happened, and the damage caused cannot be undone, I don’t blame you for that, but...” He paused for a while and looked at him with a stern gaze, “You should be able to investigate something like reporting a false crime thoroughly, right!”The officer was shocked.Logically, it could not be considered as a false report as they indeed found the drugs at the scene. It was just that they still needed to find out the real owner of the drugs they had found. As he was thinking, Andrei’s voice came out again.“The drugs do not belong to Gwyneth, so they must belong to someone else. The drugs appear out of nowhere, so you must find out their source.”The officer hurriedly nodded, “Yes, please don’t worry about it, we will find out the truth.”Only then did Andrei nod in satisfaction, “So, can she go now?”“Of course. Mr. Nixon, this way.”Only then did Gwyneth leave with Andrei.As expec
“Yes! If you still don’t believe me, you can give me a urine test and check if I have a history of drug use. If I don’t have a history of drug use, why do I bring it here? I know how important this occasion is. Isn’t it that I’m asking for trouble bringing such things in? I don’t take drugs as well! It’s obvious that someone had framed me and wants to ruin my future.”The officer thought for a moment.Then, he lifted his eyes and looked at her.“So, who do you think would have framed you?”“Naturally, the one who had reported it should also be the one who had framed me!”The officer sneered. He suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, “Nonsense!”Another officer next to him also sneered, “The one who reported you was an ordinary waiter. Why did he frame you? If you want to clear yourself, you better find a better excuse first!”Gwyneth was stunned.Before she could do anything, she saw the officer waving his big hand.“Alright, don’t talk nonsense with her, bring the stuff and cuf
“That’s right, she dares to insult you so unruly and openly now. If she gets famous one day, won’t she bully you?”“Right, you are her senior by years. She is being disrespectful to you by behaving like this.”Mika looked over at them, “Do you guys mean that you want me to deal with her?”The crowd hurriedly nodded unanimously.She sneered suddenly, “You guys think that I’m stupid? She’s now under Mr. Nixon’s protection, but you guys want me to mess around with her? Do you guys want me to completely offend him, or do you want me to be forced out of the circle?”At the moment these words came out, the women’s faces instantly changed.“Mika, we didn’t mean that.”“You guys know exactly what you mean!” Mika sneered, “I’ve been in this circle longer than you, so don’t expect to tackle me using that kind of provocation. Trying to make me a gun? You’re still a bit too young!”After saying that, she gave a heavy cold snort and turned around to leave.Priscilla and Gwyneth were pulled by Andr
