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
Meanwhile, Priscilla and Frederick got into the car together. “Where are we heading to?”Fredrick looked at Priscilla’s face, frowning, “Let’s go to the hospital first.” He said to David. “Yes, Mr. Lincoln,” David replied. Priscilla took a breath and said, “No, I’m all right. There’s no need to go to the hospital.”“No talking.” Frederick ignored her and Priscila could only shut her mouth at this insistence. The man held her face in his hands and looked at it closely. The face, once delicate and fair, was now slightly swollen, and there were clear marks of the five fingers of Lindsay. His eyes grew cold again. “You did a good job today, but the next time you meet one of those crazy dogs, don’t beat it yourself, call me, okay?”Priscilla looked at him and curled her lips, “Lindsay has always been like that. When she was in high school, she liked to bully other girls in school. I did not expect to meet her here. Hiss—”The wound on her face was touched by Fredrick’s finger and s
“What do you mean by How can it be? Apologize to Mr. Lincoln and Miss Waals now!” Calix ordered. Lindsay came back to her senses. Although she did not want to, and her hatred towards Priscilla had run down to her bones, she knew that she could not afford to cross Frederick Lincoln. So, she said reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lincoln.” Fredrick raised his eyebrows. He said, “I could not feel the sincerity of your apology.” Lindsay clenched her fingers. She was humiliated the first time she had a chance to meet this extraordinary man. But it was still okay if that was just it. But Priscilla was also here. Intense unwillingness and resentment surged in her heart, but after she met the cold gaze of Frederick, they were all pressed down. She took a deep breath and repeated, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lincoln I was wrong.”“Sorry for what?” Frederick asked. “For what I have done…” Before she finished, Lindsay understood what he meant and took a glance at Priscilla, “To Miss Waals…”Priscilla t
“I was just returning what you gave, normally when you get bitten by a crazy dog, you certainly should not just bite it back, but I always feel that some animals shouldn’t be spoiled or else they will forget who they are.”“AHHHH... You bitch!”Lindsay charged at her like a mad bull, the clerk in the store was also stunned. They did not know whether to call the police or to stop her first.Priscilla’s eyes were cold. She took a step back and snapped, “Mr Calix, so you are just going to let your girl make a scene here?”Calix came back to his senses and hurriedly came forward to pull Lindsay, “That’s enough!”“Don’t pull me, this b*tch hit me! I won’t let you get away with it today.”Lindsay broke free from Calix and continued to rush toward Priscilla.Priscilla’s face changed drastically.She was wearing a dress today, which was not suitable for a fight. Now Lindsay was a crazy dog, anyone with sanity would be afraid.Priscilla retreated towards the door.Having lost her mind, Lindsay
She and Lindsay Campbell went to the same high school, they were in the same grade but different classes. However, Priscilla did know her.When she had just met Ryan, Lindsay also liked him.But Ryan gave her a cold shoulder and did everything he could to pursue Priscilla. After they were together, Lindsay held a grudge against her for a long time. It still surprised Priscilla that after six years, she could still not let it go. She stared at her coldly and then showed a sarcastic smile. “I’m sorry but I pretended I could not see you because I really don’t think it is a good thing to know you. Are you satisfied with this answer?”Lindsay's face changed instantly. “You!”The man she was with came up instantly and asked her, “Your friend?”However, Lindsay was so angry, she pulled his arms and said in an aggrieved tone, “We are not friends! Calix, you don’t know her, right? She is the abandoned daughter of the Waals family, she stole my boyfriend and also stole her sister’s artwork jus
A few days ago, Frederick went back to Spark Land City. He had wanted to go back with Priscilla, but she rejected him.Priscilla hadn’t decided whether to go back with him to meet his family or not. She always felt that it would be somewhat awkward for her to go to Spark Land City, considering their relationship.Fredrick did not force her, because he knew what she was thinking and he also knew her that if he forced her, it might just backfire. So he could only give her time to think.Fortunately, she was always by his side, and she was not going anywhere, so there was nothing to worry about. It was all about time.He had got all the patience in the world.It was five in the afternoon when Priscilla received the call.Priscila cast a glance at the screen and a gleam of surprise flashed across her eyes. She picked it up in a hurry and heard a familiar voice. “Have you arrived?”Fredrick coughed before he added, “Darling, I just got off the plane, but I need to go to the company to deal
Priscilla frowned, she hated everything with a pungent taste and smell all her life.She sneaked a glimpse at the man on the sofa with the corner of her eyes. He did not raise his head but said slightly, “I don’t mind feeding you personally.”Priscilla was stunned.She picked it up, pinched her nose, and drank it all. After drinking the soup, she also took the medicine.Fredrick was finally satisfied.After sending the bowl downstairs, he came back, put her on the bed, and covered her up with the quilt. “Sleep well and tomorrow you will be fine.”Feeling out of it, without the energy to say anything more herself, Priscilla fell asleep very quickly.When she woke up the next day, she did feel better.Fredrick had already gotten up and was waiting for her downstairs in the dining room.Priscilla got downstairs and greeted Wilma who was already serving breakfast, “Thank you for the ginger soup last night, I feel much better now.”Wilma answered with a smile, “You are welcome ma’am.”But
Priscilla was stunned, she looked up and saw the handsome face of Fredrick.With a slight start, she wanted to sit up and wanted to leave.However, the space in the car was quite limited and the man was taking enough when she straightened up from his lap. Her head hit the roof of the car.“Look out!” Fredrick shouted.Fortunately, Frederick had a quick reaction and put his hand between her head and the roof of the car.Priscilla bumped into his hand. Fredrick held her on his lap and said seriously.“Don’t move, we will be home soon.”She had no choice but to stay still and then she asked in confusion. “I fell asleep?” “Yes, you have caught a cold. When we reach home I will ask Wilma to prepare some ginger soup for you.”Priscilla frowned and touched her forehead.Indeed, it seemed to be a bit hot.After the car arrived home, they got off. Fredrick ordered Wilma to make ginger soup and ordered her to go to the room to take a hot bath.The heater was on in the room, and the hot bath w
In his office, he was still engaged in a meeting.As the chairman of Lincoln Group of course he would be busy since he would have to take care of everything in the company.Moreover, the overseas branches had recently made some progress in the digital technology they were developing. Fredrick had paid most of his attention to their work and felt it was necessary to know everything about it before he could even feel at ease. As a result, he had a lot of meetings with the overseas branches recently. When Priscilla got there, she could see the office on the other side from the giant screen in the office.She was stunned for a moment when she realized what just happened, she had been seen. She just walked in quietly without making a sound.Fredrick saw her and almost immediately ended the meeting as he stood up.“Is it raining?” He asked her knitting his eyebrows, seeing her clothes were kind of wet.Priscilla smiled and wiped off the water on her hair casually. Then placed the takeout o
The next day Priscilla went to Anderson International directly.After a series of contracts were signed, Big Hit Entertainment was now officially a partner of Anderson International.As the order was given by Frederick directly, though the managers in the company were all surprised, they dared not say much.After signing the contracts, David took Priscilla to the Public Relations department and announced her role as the manager of the department.In the past two years, Priscilla has already made herself quite famous in Famous Entertainment.Though she has tried to keep a low profile, most of the people in the business have known her and recognized her capability.Now that their boss had invited her over, they all felt pleased.Of course, there were still some people who had been in the company for many years and felt so happy when there was finally a vacancy in such a position thinking they might have a chance. But now someone from nowhere came and took the position from them.They fe
