Sophia had been an actress for two years, but she had been playing villains. What was worse, there were a lot of scandals about her. To get an important role in a play, she gave in and went into the investor's hotel room. However, she walked into the wrong room and encountered him. The gear of their fate started. He was a cold CEO, but his baby boy was cute and sweet. From the first sight the little boy saw her, he wanted her to be his mommy.
Sophia Ye came to a standstill in the corridor of Platinum Hotel when she heard her phone ring.
Her silhouette was beautiful and lips bright red. She ran one of her hands through her gorgeous curly hair as the other dug deep in her bag to find the ringing phone. After fumbling a bit, she finally found her phone. It was Alberta Yue, her agent. Her eyes flashed with ice like coldness. She received the call.
"Sophia, for the final time I am telling this. You must not miss today. If you fail to make it today, you won't be able to secure the role in the TV drama series. The supporting role is crucial! The investor this time is very important. He is really handsome. Make the best of it, alright?"
Sophia smiled maliciously and replied, "Noted!"
Truth be told, Sophia Ye wasn't yet famous. She had been in the industry for two long years, but she had only bagged roles of villains. Her career was extremely rocky and she had been part of many scandals already. There was a rumor that she had dated so many men in the past that they could easily form a human chain all around the earth. People also believed that whatever role she played was because she made dirty deals with producers.
"I am requesting you! Do not mess up this time. You might not give a damn about this gig but I do very much..." Sophia Ye knew that Alberta Yue was again trying to lecture her.
She did not have that patience anymore so she cut her in between and asked, "Which room, please?"
"It is room number 909... Listen to me carefully..."
Alberta began again but before she could even finish the line went dead after a beep. Sophia had already disconnected.
She quickly opened the front camera of her phone and reapplied her lipstick. Then confidently she walked towards room 909 with her hips swaying gracefully.
When she reached the door she tapped on it. But no one responded. So Sophia pulled out a packet of cigarettes and walked in.
The moment she entered she saw the most unwelcoming face in front of her.
But Sophia ignored the man completely. She did not even give him a chance to speak. She sat down on the sofa placed opposite the man and put a cigarette between her lips. As she looked around for a lighter she observed the man in front of her.
The man was extremely handsome. He had sharp and beautiful features which were rare in even those young actors. But his face was cold as ice. The look on his face made him absolutely unapproachable and most people would be scared to be around him. However, everyone would be drawn towards him.
Sophia Ye was really confused as she did not understand why a handsome man like him would have to make deals with actresses just to get laid. He could easily get any girl if he wished to. Girls would flock around him without even asking.
As the man noticed that Sophia started smoking his eyes expressed annoyance and his face contorted with utter disgust. He quickly tapped on the table to let Sophia Ye know that he hated it.
Sophia smiled politely and stood up gradually. She told herself, 'I really do not care if he is the most handsome man. I will teach him a nice lesson today.'
Sophia completely ignored the man's disgust and with the cigarette still in her mouth she walked up to him.
She carried on with her actions even though the man was not happy. She placed her delicate, slender hand on the man's shoulder and softly puffed out a bit of smoke in his ear from her juicy red lips. Then she sat down on the man's lap with his hands around her.
It looked as if a seductive and beautiful woman fell in the arms of a reluctant priest. The scene was like poetry. Sophia Ye pulled the man by his tie and pressed the recorder pen tied to her leg. Then suddenly she stopped smiling.
"I've heard that... You have made some investments in the TV drama, Dance of the Phoenix. Is that true? Sophia pulled the man closer as she tightened her grip a little more.
The man looked down and in a stable, cold voice said, "Yes you are correct. I am interested."
"Oh, I see." Sophia's tone quickly changed. She became equally serious like the man. Then she said, "Then you must listen to me very carefully. I am not interested in any kind of play. You found the wrong person to play by your hidden rules. Is it clear to you?"
The man's face remained stoic like before. His eyes flashed for a moment but he remained silent.
But the door of the room suddenly opened at the moment. Both Sophia Ye and the man were caught off guard. They were not at all expecting someone to intervene at that point of time.
Sophia quickly turned her head to see who came in and her hands stiffened almost immediately at the sight.
"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.
