“See? I told you you’d nail it!” Alvin said, his voice bright and full of energy. He sounded so genuinely happy for me that I couldn't help but smile. After all the drama and stress from earlier in the day, his cheerful mood was exactly what I needed.

We stepped back onto the set to try the scene one more time. This time, the magic was there. We finished the shot in just one take, and the scenes that followed went perfectly. It felt like the weight on my shoulders had finally lifted.

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   59. A Miserable Mess

    KAYLAI looked at the photos Casey sent me. They were currently having friends over at their house, courtesy of Jordan. He wanted to cheer her up, so he organized it for her. Once again, I felt a longing and a little jealousy over the relationship they have.I smiled while looking at their faces, but that smile quickly faded when I saw the face of the person I was trying to avoid.I was also invited to this dinner, but because of the current scandal I was going through and because of what happened between Corvin and me, I decided to lie low. I just though it was better this way.Casey wanted me to be there, and I so wanted to be there as well. But I just couldn’t, and I only wished she understood.Our shoots continued, with everyone being extra cautious around us. All the staff on the set were also briefed not to leak anything to the media, especially anything they heard or witnessed while we’re filming. That was something my management have initiated.Our personal lives wouldn’t be s

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   58. Her Absence

    CORVINI stared at the screen in front of me, Kayla’s face displayed right in the middle, with her co-star Alvin on her left and that asshole Derek on her right. The headline was about how she was allegedly having an affair with her co-star, accusing her of cheating on her partner, Derek.When I first heard about the article, I immediately felt nervous, afraid that somehow, it involved me. For a second, my mind ran through every possibility.But it turned out to be about Alvin.They’re currently filming a project together, which means they’re practically around each other all the time. So, I guess, from the outside, the headline sounded believable enough.But after reading the article, I couldn’t even believe the words written across the screen. The whole thing was ridiculous. Every paragraph was filled with assumptions, twisted details, and complete bullshit.Right then, I knew it wasn’t true at all.If they only knew the truth, that it was the other way around, they’d lose their min

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   57. PR Nightmare

    KAYLAMy hands were shaking while I scrolled through the article, reading it with an already chaotic mind. My brows were knitted together, and I couldn’t stop making faces because of how ridiculous the article was.Rowanda had already ended our call, but my phone rang again. When I looked at the caller ID, it showed Alvin.“So we’re really doomed, huh?” was his welcome message when I answered.“Oh my God, Alvin! Did the makeup artist rat us out?” I answered, almost screaming.I was already pacing back and forth in my bedroom, the article still running through my mind. I couldn’t believe what I was reading.The gist of the article was that I was currently having an affair with Alvin and that I was cheating on Derek with him. Which was absolutely absurd because, as far as I knew, it was the other way around!And I knew only the makeup artist heard our conversation last time. She was the only person who could have known about the things written in that article.“There’s nothing to rat ou

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   56. Yet Another Scandal

    KAYLAI feel like an iced bucket of water was poured all over me. The shock ran through my entire body, leaving me frozen in my seat. I couldn’t even do anything about it right away because I was too stunned to move.I felt Alvin’s hand on the small of my back, warm and steady, like he was encouraging me that everything was going to be okay. That this was just nothing. But I couldn’t seem to shrug it off. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.I’m suddenly so scared of everything right now.“I’m sorry,” the makeup artist murmured. She quickly got down and picked up her things, her movements rushed and slightly nervous.I stood up from my seat and went towards her to help pick up her stuff. My hands felt a little shaky too, but I tried not to let it show.“It’s okay.” It was Alvin who said it as he also went to help her.We were able to get all her things in just seconds, so we all stood up almost simultaneously.“We were just chatting about the movie,” Alvin said.I qu

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   55. Secrets Spilled?

    KAYLA“Cut!”The director’s angry voice echoed across the set when I messed up for the nth time today. I wanted to slap myself for being so distracted, for being so completely out of it.“Did you sleep at all?” he added, frustration clear in his voice.I felt so ashamed that I just wanted to hide myself from everyone who had witnessed that awful moment.“I’m so sorry,” I said again, for what felt like the hundredth time today.I had no excuse for my lack of concentration. I was a professional. I knew how to set aside my personal problems when I was working. I had done it countless times before.But right now, it was proving to be so hard.“Let’s take five. And please, Kayla, get yourself together!” he said before storming off the set.I let out another deep sigh as I walked back to my tent. My shoulders felt heavy, and my head was filled with too many thoughts. I was so frustrated with myself. I wanted to pinch myself just to wake up and force my mind back into reality.Instead, I wal

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   54. What Heartbreak Feels Like

    CORVINI haven’t experienced heartbreak in my life before.All the girls I liked, I got them. I was used to getting the women I wanted. I never really had to wonder what rejection felt like because, somehow, things always worked out in my favor. Even when Kayla agreed to our arrangement in the beginning, I was happy. But I didn’t know she didn’t want anything more than that.I didn’t know that while I was slowly falling for her, she was already keeping herself from falling for me.The moment I closed the door to Kayla’s apartment, I finally took off my mask. The one I always wore whenever I was around other people. The confident Corvin. The man who always knew what to say. The man who always seemed like he had everything under control.The moment that door closed behind me, all of it disappeared. All the pain and disappointment I felt when she told me I couldn’t love her came pouring out at once.So this is what heartbreak felt like...It felt like something inside my chest had been

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   29. Stolen Moments

    CORVINThe following morning, Kayla had to sneak out of my room at dawn to return to her own. I struggled to let her go. I wanted nothing more than to keep her beside me, tangled in the sheets, her skin warm against mine.I know now that what I feel for her isn’t just a simple attraction. Kayla is

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   6. The Presidential Suite

    KAYLA I never slept around. I was too young when my career in show business began. At age thirteen, a talent scout discovered me, and I started modeling, posing for advertisements and magazines. Before my breakthrough, I went to countless auditions, taking on extras roles in various TV shows–parts

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   5. An Offer

    KAYLA “We do,” Corvin replied. It left me speechless for a while. I'm familiar with Marlowe International and how powerful and wealthy they were. I have read their feature in the magazine, and now I'm surprised I'm actually standing in front of someone so influential. When I recovered, I took h

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   4. The Hotel Tycoon

    KAYLA “Sorry,” I quickly said the moment I realized I had been in his arms for what felt like forever. I tried to stand up properly, but it was nearly impossible as my other sandal had lost its heel. I had to grab it, and for a moment, I wanted to scold it for causing my fall, which was absurd. I
