KAYLA

I couldn’t remember the last time I felt this utterly spent in the most delicious way possible. There was a lingering ache in my muscles, a physical testament to the passion we had just shared.

Between the passion and the deep conversation, Corvin was a breath of fresh air. Derek and I never had this. As I lay there, tucked into the crook of Corvin’s arm on a bed that felt like a cloud, I realized I hadn't just been lonely; I had been starving for this kind of connection.

  • 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   51. Just Friends

    KAYLAI was so tired from today’s shoot that I instantly lay down on my bed the moment I got home.I'm still wearing my outside clothes, makeup probably smudged from the long day, and my hair is a complete mess. But I don't care right now. I was due to change my sheets anyway.I lay face down on my bed, my eyes closed, ready to let my entire body be swallowed by sleep. Every part of me felt heavy. My legs were sore, my shoulders hurt, and even my brain felt like it had worked overtime.I was just about to drift off when a thought suddenly came to mind.My eyes immediately opened.“Are you in love with Corvin?”It had been hours since Alvin asked me that question, but I felt like I could still hear his voice.It echoed inside my head whenever I had a free moment and nothing else to focus on.I groaned and turned over before sitting up on my bed.Seriously?Of all the things Alvin could have asked me, why did it have to be that?I reached toward my nightstand, blindly searching for my p

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   50. Unsure Feelings

    KAYLAThe rumor caused so much chaos for me, my family, and even my team. After Casey confirmed that she had already told the truth to Jordan, my team quickly released a statement explaining the photo before things got even worse.Thankfully, most people believed it.Corvin and I still had dinner that night. It went better than I expected. He was quieter than usual, though. I could tell the news surprised him. Maybe it even scared him a little. I wasn't really sure.I wanted to ask him what he was thinking, but I decided not to.We both needed a normal night after everything that had happened.So instead, we talked about random things, laughed over dinner, and pretended the internet wasn't trying to create another story about us.Now I was back on set, and almost everyone looked at me the moment I arrived. Some tried to hide it, while others didn't even bother. I knew exactly what they were thinking.The rumor.Even the director called me over before filming started."No more scandals

    KAYLA It was the most beautiful ceremony I've ever witnessed. The priest’s message was heartfelt and sincere, and the couple’s vows definitely caused another batch of tears.

    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

    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
