Does that mean he won't be shooting anymore?""Poor hubby! A stomach bleed sounds so painful!""What's going on with the Autumn's Whispering Fan crew? Both leads have had issues. Are they going to replace someone now?""I don't care, if there's no Zane, I'm not watching!""I solemnly request the crew to wait for my Zane to recover before resuming filming!""Make that two requests!"Given Zane's notoriety and skyrocketing status in the entertainment industry, especially among young female fans attracted to his looks, the news of his hospitalization and potential withdrawal from Autumn's Whispering Fan deeply saddened his fanbase. Many declared they wouldn't watch the drama without Zane playing Gavin.Aurora immediately called the production

The next day, the production team of Autumn's Whispering Fan officially announced that the lead roles would remain unchanged, starring Cheryl and Zane.However, they retained Yvonne's character, given that Evelyn Media had invested heavily in the project. After all, it's not every day that someone brings funding to a production.Aurora didn't mind. She believed Cheryl could outshine Yvonne. As long as Cheryl returned, this was her home turf!When Zane returned to the set, he spent a few days shooting scenes with the supporting cast. A week later, after the doctors confirmed Cheryl was well, she was discharged from the hospital and joined the filming.The casting controversy had finally settled, and the production proceeded smoothly.Aurora returned home to find both Evelyn and Maxwell there.She smirked, "Oh? Big sister, not filming today?"Evelyn glared at her. "Aurora! Stop gloating over my misfortune!"Aurora raised an eyebrow. "Gloating? Oh, right! I forgot. Cheryl's still the fem

"Mr. President, Miss Aurora returned home this afternoon, and not long after, she was pulled into a car by his brother Maxwell," Kieran reported."Maxwell? Where did he take her?" Heath asked, puzzled."I don't know. The car hit the highway and seemed to be heading towards Silverbay Island," Kieran responded.He was perplexed. Why would Maxwell take Aurora to Silverbay Island for no apparent reason?Heath redialed Aurora's phone, still finding it switched off. He grabbed his coat and headed out, commanding, "Let's follow them. Have someone intercept Maxwell at Silverbay Island's shore!"Kieran hurriedly asked, "The shore? How do you know Maxwell will take Aurora there?"Heath didn't answer. Striding towards the elevator, he instinctively felt that Maxwell's impromptu trip to Silverbay Island must be because of the sunrise he watched with Aurora at the beach.The highway was clear, allowing Maxwell's high-performance car to speed along.Aurora struggled several times to no avail and re

The car smoothly entered the parking lot. Kieran opened the door, and Heath carried the sleeping Aurora back home.After placing Aurora on the bed, he bent down and gently kissed her forehead, then quietly closed the bedroom door and left the room.He walked to the study, opened the safe, and took out a thick stack of files along with a laptop, moving them to the living room.Kieran hesitated before asking, "Sir, are you really going to tell Miss Aurora?"Heath nodded, "If I've decided on her, she'll have to know sooner or later.""But what about Eamon..." Kieran was concerned about Eamon's reaction."For now, don't tell him," Heath instructed.Kieran nodded and helped Heath organize the documents in the living room.When Aurora woke up, it was already eleven o'clock. Hunger roused her, and she realized she was in Heath's bedroom, undoubtedly brought back by him.In her past life as an assassin, she would wake up if someone approached, but now, sleeping next to Heath, she slept like a
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Accidental Plunge
The next day, Aurora went to school.Her course load was light, as her grades were outstanding, and her professors were lenient about her frequent absences.Moreover, since Aurora had become a sensation at a recent press conference, the entire Imperial University knew about her. She owned a studio, and the hot new stars were all under her banner. Aurora had become a celebrated figure at the school.As she entered the campus, numerous eyes followed her. With a resigned smile, Aurora mused, "Will I be watched like a celebrity every day from now on?"Vespera patted her shoulder and said, "You'll get used to it."Aurora and Vespera headed to the classroom. Several girls, after much hesitancy, approached and asked, "Aurora... could you do us a favor?"Aurora, chatting with Vespera, turned around and asked, "What can I help you with?"One girl nervously said, "We are all fans of Zane... could you please get us his autograph?"Aurora was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Of course, I'll bri
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Was It An Accident?
Zane and Soraya rushed out of the grand hall immediately. They were supposed to have lines, but upon seeing the scene, they immediately dashed forward to try and catch them.Soraya only had time to clear the obstacles on the ground. Cheryl and the male actor, Morrow, who played Cassian, brushed past her and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.Morrow, a moderately successful but talented actor from Skyline Entertainment, had instinctively protected Cheryl in his arms, cushioning her fall with his body.An ambulance had already been called. Zane, trembling, picked up the unconscious Cheryl and carried her outside, murmuring, "Cheryl, Cheryl, hang in there…"Blood stained Cheryl's body. It was unclear if it was from the blood packets used in the scene or from injuries due to the fall, presenting a frightening sight.Others carried Morrow and assisted Soraya into the ambulance to the hospital.Yvonne looked petrified. Aurora, without a moment's delay, followed to the hospital.Who co

The drama's funding had been suspended for three days, leading to a crisis. In response, they scrutinized all surveillance and casual videos shot by the crew, eventually identifying the employee who tampered with the wire rig.Aurora asked Jay to conduct a "friendly" conversation with this employee. Under pressure, the worker confessed that Yvonne had paid him twenty thousand to loosen the wire rig, not intending to kill Cheryl, but merely to scare her.However, the issue of the twenty thousand was not significant enough for Aurora to take drastic actions against Yvonne. Moreover, after speaking with Jay, the employee, fearful of repercussions, refused to acknowledge the incident again.Aurora then called Winters from Harmony. Yvonne, having recently joined Evelyn Media, had caused considerable harm to Harmony, and Winters was eager for retribution.Coincidentally, Winters revealed that the authorities were investigating Yvonne's finances. They suspected she had signed duplicate contr
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife How Did You Win Over Aurora
Descending the stairs, Zane headed straight to Fairview Studio in his car. Bursting into Aurora's office, he exclaimed, "When is Cheryl getting discharged from the hospital? Are we going to continue filming or not?"Aurora looked at him, puzzled. "Cheryl is injured. Didn't you say she should rest for a few more days?"Caught off guard, Zane retorted, "Then she should rest at home! Why stay in the hospital? Hospital beds are in high demand! Can't she stop occupying medical resources?"Aurora, still baffled, asked, "Zane, what’s going on?"Leaning back on the sofa, legs propped up, Zane grumbled, "I just want to get back to filming! Are we working or not?"Aurora, in disbelief, remarked, "What's gotten into you? Since when are you so eager to work?"Zane, agitated, fidgeted with his car keys and asked, "That Morrow, the guy playing Cassian, is he about to die in the script? Is the shooting almost over? Can we just finish and move on?"Realization dawned on Aurora. Was Zane upset because

The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife The End
The next morning, Vespera was woken up at dawn, barely getting a few hours of sleep. Known as a dedicated designer, she was usually the first one awake, but today she could barely keep her eyes open. As the stylist worked on her hair and makeup, Vespera sat half-dazed, drifting in and out, completely unaware of the hands tugging her in all directions.Two hours later, with her hair and makeup done, Vespera finally slipped into her wedding dress. The reality hit her, and for the first time, she fully realized she was about to get married.Memories flooded back, particularly that first encounter with Alaric. He’d been sprawled on the steps outside, a bit too tipsy, looking up with half-closed eyes, asking, “What’s wrong with me?” Vespera, surprising even herself, had replied, “Nothing at all.”Back then, he was just a bright, headstrong young man, carrying so many dreams and frustrations. Somewhere along the way, he’d grown into this strong, grounded man. And somehow, after everything,
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Ready to Be Married
It wasn’t until a few days after their engagement that it even crossed Vespera’s mind to ask about the villa.Alaric confirmed he’d bought it, explaining that he’d thought she might like it and decided to go for it. As for renovations, he wanted to wait until she officially agreed to everything; after all, they’d eventually need their own place—living with Zane forever wasn’t exactly an option.By now, the news of Alaric and Vespera’s engagement had spread everywhere. Alaric was practically ready to announce it to the world on social media, but thankfully, Aurora stepped in, suggesting he keep things low-key since he was the company CEO. Plus, Vespera wasn’t exactly a fan of the public spotlight.Alaric reluctantly held back but couldn’t resist dropping hints in his friend group chat every other day. Heath and the rest were used to it by now—except Lysander, who constantly complained that he was drowning in a sea of "lovey-dovey vibes," being the lone single guy among them.When Auror
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife I'm Impressed
The next morning, Alaric woke up, remembering last night’s events. He pinched himself—no, it wasn’t a dream. Vespera had actually said yes.He jumped out of bed, showered, changed, and even straightened his tie before driving to her studio. There she was, focused on work, wearing a stylish dress and light makeup, looking absolutely radiant.When he walked in, Vespera looked up, surprised. “Finally awake?” she asked with a smirk.Alaric simply nodded, taking her hand without a word and leading her downstairs. She stumbled after him, asking, “Where are we going?”Alaric gently nudged her into his car, driving her toward a villa. Vespera was clueless and a bit shocked, glancing around, unsure of what was happening.They finally arrived at a beautiful villa. Alaric opened the door, and she asked, “Did you just buy this?”&n
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Alaric Proposed
The next morning, Alaric was finally over his fever. When Vespera woke up, he was already waiting in the living room. After breakfast, they both headed to their respective offices.Aurora’s team reported they’d successfully returned to the Whitmore family’s estate. For her, that had been a fierce battle. For Vespera, however, the real challenge lay ahead: the design competition.Ever since her last conversation with Yvonne, where Yvonne had hinted that everything she had was due to Aurora and Alaric’s support, Vespera had been determined to prove herself. She wanted to be worthy of Alaric and was pouring all her energy into this competition.After submitting her designs, Vespera anxiously waited at home for results. When the winners were finally announced online, she saw her name in second place. The relief and pride were overwhelming. She had finally achieved something worth sharing with Alaric. Now, with the award ceremony in the UK, she had no choice but to let him know.Expecting
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife She Misses Him
Vespera had reclaimed her brand, and Alaric seemed to be maturing by the day, treating her like she was his entire world. Everything seemed to be falling into place.After that showdown in Alaric’s office with Elowen, she hadn’t shown her face again. Vespera figured it was over, that Elowen had finally given up. Everyone else thought the same.But on the day they took graduation photos, Aurora disappeared. Heath and Alaric eventually tracked her down — Elowen had taken her. Vespera was frantic, blaming herself for not protecting Aurora better.Heath and Alaric couldn’t stop Aurora’s flight at the airport, so they booked tickets to the UK to get her back. Vespera had too much to handle here to join them, so she only saw Alaric off at the airport.He held her close, whispering, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon, and Aurora will be safe.”Vespera hugged him back tightly. She trusted him. Alaric and Heath would get this done — Elowen had crossed a line that couldn’t be ignored, and she knew
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife One Last Time
This past week, Aurora had been tirelessly setting up to counter Evelyn and her allies, Yvonne and Elowen. Meanwhile, Alaric, working alongside Aurora to reclaim Elowen’s brand.A week later, the press conference went ahead as planned. Alaric helped Vespera pick an outfit, stayed until she’d finished her makeup, and then drove her to the venue himself.The conference, led by Evelyn, was a disaster for her team. They failed to take over Aurora’s company, couldn’t drive her out of the Pendleton family, and made no progress in placing Yvonne and Elowen as CEO and head designer. Their plans had backfired entirely.Leaving the venue, Yvonne, clearly shaken, stepped in front of a car without looking and was hit, blood pooling around her. Vespera, stunned and dizzy at the sight, would have collapsed if Alaric hadn’t steadied her.Frantically, Vespera fumbled with her phone to call home, stammering, “It’s Yvonne… she’s bleeding so much…”As someone unaccustomed to such violence, Vespera was t
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife We’ll Get Everything Back
Alaric looked at Vespera with an innocent expression and said, “It’s not what you think. I’m not a creep.”“Not a creep?” Vespera glared at him. “Then what were you doing in my room?”Alaric almost groaned. “If I told you I was here to give you a massage, would you believe me?”“Total creep!” she shouted. “Sneaking into my bed while I was asleep!”Alaric shot back, “I did not! When I woke up, you were the one curled up on me!”Vespera paused, recalling the moment she woke up. Okay, maybe she had been cozying up to him. Wait a second—was he implying she was the one acting out of line?Seeing her hesitation, Alaric grinned smugly. “See? You were just as comfortable with it!”“Get out!” Vespera yelled.Alaric left the room, trying not to smile too much. Sure, nothing happened, but just getting to hold her felt amazing. Although… his shoulder was sore from her leaning on him all night, so he headed back to his room to grab a few more hours of sleep.Vespera, alone in her room, listened as
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Close Your Eyes
Vespera walked ahead, casual and carefree in a T-shirt and shorts, no makeup, and even bare of high heels, while Alaric trailed close behind with a jacket in hand, grinning like a fool. Everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but notice—their usually composed CEO was tagging along, practically beaming.Catching up to her, Alaric draped his jacket over her shoulders. “How could you leave without dressing warmer? You’ll end up with a stomach ache tonight,” he said, his voice soft with affection.Vespera felt a warm flutter in her chest but stayed quiet, letting his jacket settle around her as they walked out. Alaric was thrilled she hadn’t brushed him off; emboldened, he slipped his hand into hers, wrapping her cold fingers in his.For a moment, she stiffened, then relaxed, letting her hand nestle securely in his. Together, they headed to the parking lot, Alaric practically floating with joy. This felt better than winning the lottery!Bringing her home, Alaric felt out of his depth—things h
The Billionaire's Deadly Doting Wife Do You Love Me
Alaric stood in his office, with Elowen right in front of him, her hand tugging at his tie, a faint smirk hidden beneath her slightly indignant expression.Seeing the scene, Vespera nearly turned around and left right then and there. But she reminded herself of her purpose for coming today. She was done hiding from Elowen. Even if Alaric wasn’t hers in the end, she’d be damned if he ended up with someone like Elowen.So Vespera strode into the office, fixed her gaze on them, and asked, “What’s going on here?”At the sound of her voice, Alaric spun around, fumbling to free his tie from Elowen’s grip. But Elowen held tight, glancing over at Vespera with a slight smile. “Miss Thornfield? You’re here?”Vespera closed the door behind her, gave a slight nod, and asked again, “What exactly is this about?”Elowen smirked. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask Alaric if I could borrow a few people to help promote my new fashion line. Not sure if he’s on board with it, though.”“Not a chance,
