KAYLA

The camera lights finally dimmed, signaling the end of another long day on set. As the crew began the familiar ritual of packing up cables and reflectors, I found my thoughts drifting back to Corvin again.

How was he? What was he doing at this exact moment? I found myself craving his company, not just his presence, but the way he made me feel. He had unlocked parts of me I didn’t know existed, leaving behind a void that no amount of work could seem to fill.

“So… I heard Derek and his team

  • 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   53. Heartbreaks and Goodbyes

    KAYLAI couldn’t say a word. It was like my mind had forgotten how to function. Like my tongue had frozen.I could only look at Corvin. From looking brave and determined just moments ago, his face slowly started showing how scared he is of what I might say.I’m scared too.God, I felt like all of my fears had decided to come at me tonight.I leaned my back against the backrest of the couch. We had moved from the dining area to the living room to make ourselves more comfortable.We did become too comfortable.Comfortable enough for Corvin to blurt out something he probably shouldn’t have.“You can’t say that.”I didn’t even think. My thoughts came out of my mouth before I could stop them.I couldn’t stop myself.Everything was coming at me at once. Fear. Panic. Overwhelm. Name it.He didn’t say a word right away, like he was shocked by my response. Or maybe he was calculating what he wanted to say next.I just wanted to disappear into thin air at that very instant. I wanted to run away

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   52. The Confession

    KAYLA“Pizza delivery,” Corvin said with a huge smile the moment I opened the door. My mood was already good, but it instantly got better when I saw his handsome face.“Come in, my sir,” I replied playfully, even bowing like a lady. I laughed at our silliness. He really brings out the fun side of me.He got inside my apartment, and I quickly locked the door behind us. Him coming here tonight is a risk, especially since I know some people’s eyes are still on me. But God, it was a thrilling risk I’m willing to take.“How was your shoot?” he asked as he settled the pizza box on my dining table. It felt light and cozy to see him do it. I mean, he’s a billionaire and an heir to a multi-million business empire, and here I am, having him bring pizza to me! I felt special, and it warmed my heart.I shook my head a little, willing those thoughts to go away. I feel like I’ve been overthinking and pondering too much about our supposed fun friendship.“The director’s a bit tough on us today, but

  • 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
