KAYLA

“So how do we start?” I asked as I walked away from the window. I need a little space between us because if I stayed close, I'm afraid I’d be the first one to fall.

My hand brushed along the soft sofa as I passed it. The fabric felt smooth under my fingers, almost silky. I finally sat down, letting my legs cross naturally. The moment I leaned back, my muscles loosened, the tension in my shoulders melting at the softness of the cushions. It was a kind of comfort I rarely felt, the kind t

  • 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

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   49. An Unforgettable Evening

    KAYLA Corvin took me to a fancy restaurant. I'm usually very conscious whenever I go out, especially when I'm with someone who isn't Derek. Most people still don't know about our breakup, so there's always a part of me that worries about being seen. But Corvin assured me that no word about tonight would get out. Apparently, the restaurant belonged to one of his friends. He told me he was one of the investors, and the owner gladly agreed to his request to close the restaurant for the evening. That gesture alone sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach. No one had ever done something like that for me before. Derek was never the grand type when it came to surprises. He was thoughtful in his own way, but he never went all out. Corvin was different. Closing an entire restaurant just so we could have privacy and enjoy the night without interruptions felt unreal. It reminded me that maybe I shouldn't settle for the bare minimum. Because somewhere out there, there is someone willing t

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   48. His Thoughts

    CORVINI watched her back disappear into the bathroom. For a second, I just sat there on her sofa, my hands resting on my knees, staring at the door. The silence of Kayla’s apartment felt heavy, a sharp contrast to the ringing in my ears that had been there for the last hour.I let out a breath I felt like I’d been holding since I left my office. My heart was still thumping against my ribs–not with the panic from before, but with a strange ache I couldn't quite name."Not pregnant," I whispered to the empty living room.I should have felt like I’d just dodged a bullet. I should have been jumping for joy, ready to celebrate my freedom and the fact that my life wasn't about to change. But as I leaned back into the cushions, I felt... weird. Disappointed? No, that was a crazy thought. Why would I be disappointed?My mind drifted back to how this chaos started.I had been at my office, scrolling through my feed while waiting for the time when I had to leave, when I saw the headline and a

  • 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   3. Shining Star

    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. I reached for another glass of champagne as I felt the sting of tears threatening to fall again. I can’t cry now. Not in fro

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   2. Best Man

    KAYLA “We’re here!” Maddie exclaimed. I must have been spacing out, because I didn't even realize we've already arrived at the church where my sister is about to get married. A sea of people gathered outside at the entrance, all dressed in shades of champagne and gold. The women wore long dresses

  • The Tycoon's Leading Lady   1. The Wedding

    KAYLAEverybody looked my way the moment the church doors opened. A soft hush fell over the room, followed by warm smiles that bloomed across their faces. I stepped forward slowly, my movements graceful and careful at the same time.A delicate violin rendition of ‘A Thousand Years’ started playing,
