Out Of League

Mariah also felt the oppressive atmosphere in the car and shifted restlessly, moving closer to Leonardo to create some distance from the manager.  The manager immediately frowned and sneered, “I didn’t expect Miss Hutchson to be this kind of person. Last time at the hospital, you promised me you would keep your distance from Leonardo. How is it that just a few days later, you can’t help yourself? Let me tell you, don’t think these tricks can fool everyone; I’ve seen many seduction tactics like yours.”  Mariah's expression instantly turned cold, and she was clearly displeased. However, due to the manager’s status, she suppressed her anger and tried to explain patiently, “You’ve really misunderstood; I absolutely don’t mean that.”  The manager curled his lip, not believing Mariah’s words.  Leonardo also became a bit unhappy; he had initiated this meeting, so why wa

Insecure

After Mariah left, she didn’t go straight home. Feeling unsettled, she wandered the empty streets alone, letting the evening breeze cool her frustration.Looking at the desolate street, Mariah felt an even deeper emptiness inside her. She had thought that Leonardo at least had some feelings for her, but now it seemed that, despite their mutual attraction, it wouldn’t lead anywhere. There were too many barriers between them, and just the unspoken rule that celebrities couldn’t date was enough to crush any tender hopes she held.Lost in thought, she didn’t notice a drunken man stumble out of a nearby alley, heading straight toward her.Without warning, he bumped into her, sending her crashing to the ground.Seeing this, he lunged at her. Luckily, Mariah had learned a few self-defense moves and managed to dodge him. But the drunk man was relentless and con

We Need To Talk

Seeing that it was getting dark, Vanessa glanced at William and suggested, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you go home and get some rest? I’ll stay here and take care of things.”William shook his head. “I’ll stay with Mariah. You both should go home and rest.”Vanessa hesitated, feeling the weight of the complex relationships between everyone involved, which only made her headache worse.Luca watched with a detached look and said to Vanessa, “Vanessa, maybe we should go. Isla’s still waiting at home, and with William here, I doubt there will be any problems.”Reluctantly, Vanessa nodded, especially after seeing Mariah’s silence, and decided to leave.Meanwhile, Leonardo was still filming a show and hadn’t checked his phone.When filming finally wrapped up, Leonardo grabbed his phone, only to have it immediately taken by his manager.“Leo, we have another gig lined up

A Stand-In

“What do you want to talk about?” Leonardo asked, watching William’s back.William abruptly turned around, grabbing Leonardo by the collar. “You’ve got some nerve asking that!” he growled.Before Leonardo could respond, a harsh slap landed across his face.Leonardo didn’t retaliate. He calmly touched his cheek where the slap had landed and said lightly, “My face is insured. If you want to hit me, aim somewhere else.”Seeing Leonardo’s nonchalant attitude, as if this had nothing to do with him, William became even angrier, throwing punch after punch, this time sparing Leonardo’s face and landing the blows on his body.Seething, William spat, “How dare you come here? What right do you have to see Mariah?”Originally standing there as if made of stone, Leonardo’s calm demeanor finally cracked. He responded with a sneer, “Oh? If I have no right, then what g

Is There Still A Chance?

Leonardo seemed to pick up on something and asked hesitantly, “Are you calling Cassandra?” “Do you know where she is?” William stood up in a rush, accidentally knocking the chair behind him, which screeched across the floor. “Yeah, she mentioned it before she left. She’s probably still abroad attending an award ceremony, but she should be back by tomorrow. You might want to contact her agent; she probably has Cassandra’s itinerary.” Hearing this, William didn’t hesitate and immediately hailed a taxi to the capital airport. Throughout the ride, he repeatedly called Cassandra and her agent, but neither answered. With no other options, William asked a friend to investigate Cassandra’s team’s itinerary while he went straight to the airport. He waited for hours but saw no sign of her. A while later,

Complicated

Cassandra turned away, not saying a word. William grasped her shoulders, looking on the verge of tears. "Cassandra, can we please talk? I don’t want to end things like this. I just don’t want to..." Cassandra felt conflicted and wasn’t sure how to handle the situation with William. Right now, she just wanted to be alone. After a moment, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence between them. It was Vanessa and Luca. "What are they doing here?" William wondered, puzzled. "William, so you really are here!" Vanessa said with relief, glad to have found him. But as soon as she spoke, she sensed something was off between William and Cassandra. "You two..." "Vanessa, you're just in time. Take him away," Cassandra interrupted, gesturing toward William with her chin. William was unwilling a

On Trip

"Oh right, didn't you say your daughter is quite capable? I wanted to ask how to resolve this situation," Grandpa Kensington said with a chuckle. "I’m not sure either, but my daughter should know how to handle it. I'll send you her company info; they often assist celebrities with these kinds of matters, so it shouldn't be a problem," Clint replied. "Great, with your word, I feel reassured." After that, Grandpa Kensington entrusted the matter directly to Clint’s daughter, letting a professional public relations company handle the planning. The official social media account of the K Group first issued a statement, firmly declaring that Luca and Cassandra Gray were only innocent friends. As soon as this statement was released, a wave of internet trolls flooded the comment section with insults. As expected. Once the buzz continued

Didn't Come Home

Watching the little girl dance with excitement, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had guessed correctly this time; the gift was a hit. But… "The gift can't be taken for free, okay? Can you help me with a little task?" Luca squatted down to look at the little one. Immediately, Isla became alert. "What do you want me to help with? I need to think about it." "Hehe," Luca couldn't help but chuckle. "Don’t worry; it won’t be too difficult. You just need to keep an eye on your mommy. If any other man tries to approach her, tell me right away, okay?" Isla hesitated at this. Wouldn’t that be a betrayal to Mommy? Seeing her uncertainty, Luca shook the toy Gundam in her hands. "If you agree to help me with this, I promise I’ll buy you the latest model when it comes out. How about that?" In the end, Isla couldn't resist the temp

A Bad Mother

 "Alright, I understand. Let’s not make this public for now." After hanging up the phone, Luca rubbed his temples. Isla, rubbing her eyes, came out of her room and saw Luca standing alone. She asked curiously, "Where’s Mommy? Why is she still in bed?" Luca wasn’t sure how to explain to Isla, so he vaguely said, "Isla, Mommy has something to take care of. Uncle will take you to kindergarten later, okay?" Isla pouted, a little unhappy, but didn’t refuse. After finishing breakfast, Luca first dropped Isla off at kindergarten before heading to the police station. Since it hadn’t been 24 hours yet, they couldn’t file a report. Luca could only describe Vanessa’s appearance to the police and ask them to keep an eye out for her. One of the officers on duty paused as he overheard their convers

Unsuccessful Scheme

Upon hearing this, Luca nodded, but he still had his doubts. After Beatriz left, he instructed his assistant to investigate the matter thoroughly. Meanwhile, Vanessa was starting to regain her senses as the effects of the drug wore off. She woke up to find everything around her pitch black. The sounds around her were chaotic. Vanessa strained to identify where she was and realized she was in a moving vehicle, swaying back and forth. "Ahem," Vanessa cleared her throat and tentatively tried to communicate with the driver. "Mr. Land, I don’t know who sent you or what promises were made to you, but if you let me go, I can give you what she can—no, I’ll give you double." "Shut up! If you keep yelling, I’ll gag you," one of the men beside him said, clearly irritated. Undeterred, Vanessa pressed on, "Or just tell me what you want." "Shut up,
