All Chapters of The Tycoon's Leading Lady: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

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

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

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

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

KAYLA“Gorgeous!” Belinda exclaimed, admiring her own work. She just finished doing my makeup, and it was beautiful as always.I looked at myself through the mirror and couldn’t help but admire her work on me too. She really knew how to enhance my features without making me look like someone else. My makeup was soft but glamorous, with my eyes standing out and my lips painted in a shade that perfectly matched the look.“And with the dress I chose, you will be a goddess!” Melanie mumbled.“Thank you, my fairy godmothers,” I said with a smile.I tried to cheer up and be my usual self, or at least the Kayla they had always known. I could see that they were also trying their best to cheer me up, so I decided to return the favor and show them that I was feeling better now.Even they knew about the recent scandal. While it had died down a bit, our PR team was still working hard, and even I was working my butt off to help with the PR, even if it meant attending Derek’s events as his date.I
