“You can’t love me. We can’t be together. It will ruin my career. It will ruin my life!” That’s what Kayla Danes told Corvin Marlowe when their relationship started becoming real. As one of the country’s most beloved actresses, Kayla was bound by a strict contract–one that required her to maintain the illusion of romance with her loveteam partner who used to be her real boyfriend, Derek Boyles. Her fame was built on that loveteam, and her fans worshipped the fantasy they created. Loving someone else wasn’t just discouraged. It was forbidden. Corvin, a billionaire hotel tycoon, promises he’ll take care of her, even pay the penalty if she breaks the contract. But Kayla has worked hard for her career. It’s everything to her, and she refuses to lose it because of a love she isn’t supposed to have. But after that one night with Corvin and more unexpected meetings afterward, staying away becomes harder and harder. Things get even worse when Derek finds out about their secret relationship. Out of jealousy or spite, and wanting all the sympathy for himself, he reveals everything and turns it into a scandal that puts Kayla in an even tougher spot. Now, Kayla has to make a choice: Her career or the man she loves. But is she ready to let go of either one?

The Tycoon's Leading Lady 25. Unstoppable Desire
KAYLA“Corvin…” I called out, my voice coming out thin and breathless.Having him this close to me felt like being pulled into a different dimension. It was as if the world around us had blurred into salt air, leaving only the two of us behind. Being near him made me feel a thousand different things at once–fear, longing, and a desperate, aching reminder of the passionate night we had shared.I could feel my heart beating rapidly inside my chest. It felt like a trapped bird, fighting to get out of its ribcage, desperate to be set free. The closer he stepped, the wilder my pulse became. I could feel the radiating warmth of his body and catch the scent of his expensive perfume. It was intoxicating, making my head spin and my knees feel weak.“It can’t happen again,” I managed to say, though the words felt like a lie even as they left my lips.I wanted to turn and run. I wanted to be as far away from him as possible because being in this close proximity pushed me toward a cliff. He made

KAYLAThe breakfast ended with a tension so thick I could practically taste it. I managed to survive the meal by focusing entirely on my fruit plate, nodding like a doll whenever Corvin spoke about "brand identity" and "market reach." As soon as the last cup of coffee was drained, I bolted. I didn’t wait for him to stand. I simply muttered a quick "thank you" and ran toward the safety of my production crew.But the island was smaller than I thought, and Corvin Marlowe was everywhere.The second photoshoot of the campaign took place on the high cliffs overlooking the turquoise bay. I was draped in a flowing, emerald-green silk dress that caught the wind. It was a difficult shoot. The sun was bright and hot, and the rocks were sharp beneath my bare feet."Chin up, Kayla! Give me mystery!" the photographer shouted.I tilted my head back, closing my eyes, only to open them and find Corvin standing behind the camera crew. He wasn't talking to anyone. He was just standing there, arms folded

KAYLAMy feet felt as if they were glued to the floor, heavy and stubborn, refusing to take even a single step closer to the man sitting at the table. My body was at war with itself; my mind told me to run, but my insides ached for the very touch I was trying to forget. I hesitated, feeling the weight of the morning heat combined with the intensity of his gaze. I could feel his eyes boring into me, peeling away my layers until I felt completely exposed.“Oh my God! Is that the guy from the magazine?” Maddie’s voice broke through my trance, filled with excitement.I couldn’t bring myself to answer her. I was speechless, frozen, and completely lost. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. So, he’s really here? Is he here because of me? Is he the reason I was chosen as the brand ambassador for this resort?Suddenly, I had a desperate urge to cover his eyes or force him to look away. His stare was like a flame, making me melt where I stood. I didn't know what message he wa

CORVIN“I’ve already sent all the documents and contracts that need your attention to your email, Sir,” Michelle said, her eyes flicking down to her iPad one last time to confirm. I nodded in acknowledgment. I had instructed her to send everything to my inbox because I’d be working remotely for the next few days. My calendar was clear of other meetings. For the rest of the week, my focus would be centered entirely on one thing: establishing the brand identity for the Ocevara Resort.I looked at Michelle and gave her a brief, tight-lipped smile. “Thanks, Michelle. That will be all.”As she left the office, my mind was already miles away. I knew Kayla was likely already settled into her villa. I had received a message from Susan confirming that their flight had landed safely. Knowing she was finally there, within the boundaries of a resort I controlled, sent a spark of anticipation through my chest.My professional role is mainly on the operations side of the business. However, having
