CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE – THE SHOW

Nancy forced a smile.Fun?Unfortunately, he looked so unhappy.“It’s seemed like in this life he hated me the most. I promised to stay out of his life forever, but now I have broken the promise I made, and I have also forced him to candlelight dinner with me. He might just hate me to the core now.” Nancy felt that her eyes were getting sour again. She held back her tears quickly once again. She could not cry so as not to ruin her makeup. “I took so much time getting this makeup done. I can’t afford to ruin it now.” She said to herself. She looked up and stayed for a few seconds so the tears wouldn’t drop off her eyes.On the other hand, Priscilla knew something had happened to Nancy because she hadn’t said a word for a while which was unlike her. “Nancy, are you alright?” Priscilla asked.Nancy quickly replied.“I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m in the restroom.”“That’s great then, how are you getting along?” “Nothing much, you know how he can be quite cold while sitting for hours withou

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO – THE SHOW II

Fredrick was holding his coat and tie in one hand while looking at Priscilla who was still in shock.The man smirked and teased her with his eyes. He simply stared at her without moving an inch. Priscilla suddenly had a nudge to die due to the tension she was feeling. She immediately ended the video call and turned around to glare at Fredrick.Fredrick forced himself to hold back his laughter, as he placed his suit and tie on a nearby chair while approaching Priscilla. “Darling, I really didn’t know that you miss me this much whenever I am not at home.” He said. Priscilla pouted her lips and also pretended to cry because she was really mad at him.“Fredrick, why didn’t you knock on the door before opening it?” Priscilla asked. “This is my house and we are also married so there is nothing I cannot see. And why should I knock on the door?” Fredrick asked, raising his eyebrows. She was speechless yet so mad at him. But these words spoken by Fredrick seemed to have a point. ‘What s

CHAPTER FIFITY-THREE – SWEET TALK

Priscilla went upstairs, trying to explain to Wilma. However, the old lady Wilma didn’t believe what she said at all.On the contrary. She gave her a suggestive look, “I understand Madam. You don’t have to be shy about it. It’s a great thing for couples to share a good relationship. Soon, a little young master will be on his way, and all the hustle and bustle in the Mansion.”In short, she rambled on and refused to believe Priscilla that it was all a misunderstanding.Priscilla gave up when she found that Wilma was difficult to get through. Technically speaking, Fredrick and she were a legally married couple. So it was nothing out of the ordinary for them to be engaging in a little intimacy.It was quite awkward, to be caught red-handed by an elder, but it was not a big deal.Priscilla decided to abandon her plan to forgo the chance to restore her uppity image in Wilma’s mind. Instead, she poured herself a glass of milk and headed upstairs.When she passed by the study, she suddenl

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR – DETERMINED TO EMBARRASS HER

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

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE – SHE WAS JEALOUS

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

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX – THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE ARE BURNED

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.

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT – MEG’S CHARACTER

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

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE – I WILL PLAY THE MATRON

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

CHAPTER SIXTY – INTENTIONALLY WHIPPED

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
