CORVIN

The moment I stepped through the front door, the smell of garlic and grilled steak hit me, but it wasn't the food that made my head spin. It was her.

Kayla was standing by the dining table, her hand gripping the back of a wooden chair like she needed it to stand straight. I felt the air leave my lungs. I had spent the last few days seeing her on billboards and thinking about her almost every time.

She's wearing a deep green silk dress that draped over her curves like it was made speci

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   47. Pregnancy Scare

    KAYLAMy back was against the door as my tears continued to fall. This day was just too overwhelming. It was supposed to be a chill day for me, but because of one photo, everything was ruined. My mood was ruined. My career was almost ruined.At this point, I don’t know how to explain it to Corvin. I’m afraid he’s already seen it, and I’m scared of how he might react. I know I said whatever is going on between us is just for fun, but I still care about his feelings. He’s a friend now, and he’s been so considerate of me.I picked up my phone, still sitting on the floor, and dialed Casey’s number. It rang for a long time, but she didn’t answer. She must be busy. Maybe she isn’t on her phone, or maybe she hasn’t seen the article yet.I was about to dial Corvin’s number when my mom’s name flashed on the screen. I closed my eyes tightly, inhaling and exhaling to prepare myself for whatever she was about to say.When I felt ready, I answered. The first words out of her mouth were, “Are you p

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   46. The Rumor and The Outburst

    KAYLA“What are you doing here?” I asked the moment I recovered from the shock. I wanted to ignore him and just go inside my apartment, but he was blocking my way, so I couldn’t even open the door.He looked at me, and there was something in his expression–curiosity, anger, shock… I couldn’t even distinguish it.“Are you pregnant?” he questioned, and my brows instantly knitted together.I tried walking past him, even bumping him a little in my quest to open my door. “What are you talking about?”I inserted my keys and pushed open the door, pausing before entering, contemplating whether I should invite him inside or not. Of course, I didn't want to, but I don't think we should be talking in the hallway.“People are talking about it online,” he replied.I went in anyway, and he followed.“What?!”I got my phone and turned on the Wi-Fi. The moment I did, notifications flooded in.“Oh God,” I murmured as I took my seat on the sofa.I tried to check each notification, but there were just t

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   45. Two Surprises

    KAYLAI’ve never been this excited to get up in the morning. Even though I had a very late night on set for a photo shoot and barely got any sleep, I feel strangely energetic. I feel as refreshed as if I had just woken up from a perfect, eight-hour sleep without any interruptions. I feel as satisfied as if I had just eaten the most delicious meal in the entire world. For the first time in a long time, it feels like I don’t have a single problem to deal with. I reached over to my bedside table, grabbed my phone, and saw a message from Corvin. It was just a simple "good morning," but it was enough to make a smile spread across my face instantly. My day was already off to a great start, and that message made it even better. I have to be honest: when I first met Corvin, I was intimidated. It’s hard not to be when you’re talking to the heir of a multi-billion dollar corporation. But as I’ve spent more time with him, I’ve realized that he is so much more than just a fancy title or a big b

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   44. Wandering Thoughts

    KAYLA“Someone looks happy,” I heard Alvin say from behind me.We were on set, and since I wasn’t needed for the current scene, I retreated to my tent to rest. I looked back to see him grabbing a stool. He set it down nearby and sat, facing me with a knowing grin. I couldn’t help but smile back, which only deepened the curious look on his face.“So,” he started, “what happened?”Lately, Corvin and I had started texting. It wasn't the kind of constant back-and-forth that left you glued to your phone, but we kept each other updated throughout the day. According to his last message, he was currently at his office, reviewing contracts and signing papers. His daily routine sounded exhausting to me, but he never seemed bored. It was as if he were tailor-made for that world. Thinking about it now, I realized the corporate life really did suit him.I glanced around to make sure we were truly alone before leaning in to tell Alvin about last night. I kept the details PG, even if Alvin’s express

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   43. How the Night Ended

    CORVINThe windows were foggy, and the air inside the car was warm and thick. I stayed close to Kayla for a minute, just listening to her breathe. Every time we’re together like this, it feels like the world stops.Finally, I moved back. The cool air from the AC hit us, and I saw her shiver. I grabbed her dress from the floor and handed it to her."We should get moving," I said, my voice a bit raspy. "As much as I’d love to stay here, this road isn't as private as I pretended it was."Kayla laughed softly and started getting dressed. "You’re the one who said no one would see us, Corvin.""Yeah,” I replied. “I lied because I wanted you," I teased, climbing back into the driver’s seat.Once she was buckled in, I started the car and pulled back onto the road. The headlights cut through the dark woods. For a while, we were quiet, just enjoying the peace. But soon, I started thinking about what happened on our last night in Thailand."I’m still annoyed about Derek," I muttered, shaking my

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   42. Car Fun

    KAYLAHis lips devoured mine in an instant, and my insides went wild. The air from the AC was cool, but it was nothing compared to the heat radiating between our bodies. I missed his lips. I missed his touch. I missed being intimate with him. More than anything, I just missed him."Corvin..." I breathed, the name hitching in my throat as his lips traveled to my neck. He began nibbling at the sensitive skin just below my jaw, his teeth grazing me in a way that would surely leave a mark. "Someone... someone might see us here."He paused, pulling back just enough to look me in the eyes. His gaze was dark, heavy with a hunger that made my knees weak even while sitting. "It’s a road rarely used, Kayla," he murmured. "No one will care if we’re parked here or what we're doing."I glanced out the window at the lonely, dark road. Not a single pair of headlights broke the darkness. It was just us and the quiet hum of the night."Okay," I whispered, the word barely audible as I reached out, thr

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   23. A Confrontation and a Lie

    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 wei

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   22. Eyes on Her

    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 th

    KAYLAThe food in front of me looks so tempting, with its colorful plating and delicious smell. Normally, I would already be halfway done with my meal, but right now, I barely have the energy to eat. I’ve completely lost my appetite. I can’t focus on anything else, not even the conversation around

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   20. Ocevara Resort

    KAYLAThe private jet made a soft, steady sound as it flew through the sky, the kind of quiet hum that reminded you just how expensive everything was. I leaned back in the wide cream leather seat and held a cold glass of sparkling water in my hand. For the first time in three years, no one was sit
