Billionaire substitute bride Cold shoulder
The next day, when Maria arrived at the set, the assistant director led her straight to the martial arts adviser. "Matthew Turner, I'll leave Mia in your hands. She has a lot of fighting scenes, try to teach her as much as you can, but if it's too complex, just use a stunt double."Maria couldn't help but smile. She was already Mia’s stunt double, and now they were considering getting another one. Just how incapable was Mia?With a modest smile, she reassured the assistant director, "Don't worry, I'll work hard to learn. I would prefer not to use a stunt double if possible."The assistant director looked at Mia with a hint of disbelief.Just yesterday, at the film's kick-off ceremony and banquet, Mia was so aloof, treating everyone except the director, the producer, and the investors with disdain. Yet today, she was so humble?Even though he was puzzled, he could only respond to Mia’s beaming face with a smile of his own. "Alright, do your best but there's no need to rush. You don't
Billionaire substitute bride Damaged manhood
"Huh?"Maria stared at the man in front of her, momentarily taken aback.This man's eyes brimming with flirtatious mischief.His attire, a white suit paired with a bright yellow shirt, didn't scream respectable gentleman.Yet, judging by his tone, he seemed to know Mia, and their relationship appeared to be quite intimate.Maria eyebrows furrowed in caution, "My apologies, but my husband is waiting for me..""Tsk..."Alexander clicked his tongue, a teasing smile spreading across his face, "Are you afraid? Your husband was also there last night, and yet you still accompanied me in the restroom... hmmm.."Even though Alexander didn't explicitly mention what transpired in the restroom, his suggestive hums were telling enough.Maria blinked in shock, but quickly suppressed her surprise. Her hands by her sides clenched into fists.So this was why Mia wanted her to marry Charles on her behalf, she had been playing around...At that moment, Maria couldn't help but feel sorry for Charles.The
Billionaire substitute bride Worried
"Maria, don't get upset. Mia has always been like that."Luna stirred her coffee slowly, a mocking smile hidden beneath her lowered gaze."Mia is the youngest pianist in the country, and she has the Miller Family backing her up. Naturally, she can do whatever she pleases. As for Charles, he just happens to be the unfortunate party in all this."Maria closed her eyes tightly, her heart shaking… How was she supposed to face Charles after all this?After hanging up the phone, she walked back, her mind filled with Charles handsome face.What had Charles done to deserve this?Why did he have to marry a woman like Mia?"Mimi?"Seeing her approach, Charles rose from his seat. Seeing the distressed look on her face, he walked over to her and gently pulled her into his arms, "What's wrong?"Maria bit her lip hard, but couldn't find the words to say.How was she supposed to tell Charles that Mia had been unfaithful?Most men would struggle with such a revelation, not to mention a proud and sel
Billionaire substitute bride Did you cheat on me?
At seven in the evening, Charles noticed that Maria was still lying on the sofa. Shaking his head gently, he picked up the phone to order dinner.Half an hour later, the waiter brought their meals. Charles approached Maria, gently nudged her arm and said, "Ria..."Maria initially ignored him, but a grumble from her stomach betrayed her. Charles chuckled softly, grabbed her arm, and forcibly pulled her up from the sofa."No matter what's on your mind, you can't skip meals."He led her to the dining table and gently sat her down, "I ordered your favorites, let's eat.""Thanks."Maria picked up her fork and placed a piece of her favorite salmon into her mouth. As she chewed her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, bringing a delighted smile to Charles face."Regardless of what's making you unhappy, eating is a priority in life. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow, and I'll have it delivered to the set."Maria looked up at him, blinking, "Aren't you going home?""Why would I go home?"
Billionaire substitute bride Mistress
"Ouch."Maria winced, her hand flying to her forehead, but her watery eyes never left Charles.She had played a part in this mess. If she hadn't agreed to Mia’s plan to take her place in the marriage, Mia would have had no choice but to go through with it herself.Maria was the instigator of this whole affair, and she felt obliged to take responsibility for Charles."You are indeed quite handsome," she admitted. A smile broke out on her tear-streaked face. Once she had come to terms with the situation, her spirit had lifted."Come on, sit down and eat. You didn't eat much earlier."She picked up her fork, grabbed a piece of salmon, and put it on Charles' plate.A low chuckle escaped from Charles . It seemed that his gentle persuasion had paid off, and Maria had come around.His plan had worked.Mia deserved some thanks for this.As Maria ate, she kept adding food to Charles' plate, her amber eyes curling up in delight.After dinner, Maria stretched, wiggled her fingers, and hopped ont
Billionaire substitute bride Business alliance or Love
The next day, Maria was on time at the set, learning martial arts moves from Matthew. She even asked him to teach her some grappling techniques.Just thinking of Alexander made her feel sick. If he continued to mistake her for Mia, he would definitely pester her when they were alone.She could use him as practice then.Soon, the set was bustling again. Maria turned her head and saw Charles surrounded by Director Grant and the team.For some reason, ever since she'd come to terms with her feelings, she couldn't help but smile whenever she saw Charles.It was a kind of uncontrollable joy, a smile that she couldn't suppress.At that moment, Charles looked over at her. Seeing her smile, he smiled back."Oh, my God..."Matthew rubbed his arms dramatically and even shuddered for effect."Mimi, you and Young Master Smith are really inseparable, aren't you? Is he living on the set now? He's here every day."Maria bit her lip and smiled sweetly, "I don't know, maybe.""Of course he is!"Matth
Billionaire substitute bride Reporter
A reporter standing by, speechless, cast a glance at the one who had just asked the question.Such an audacious query! Charles had jetted off to Europe on the day of their wedding and hadn't returned in two years. It was clearly a business alliance, devoid of love.Everyone knew the truth, yet she insisted on voicing it. Was she so desperate for a headline that she would risk her career?The staff members around darted anxious glances at Charles, fearful that the executive, who rarely gave interviews, might lose his temper.Charles lifted his gaze, casting an indifferent glance at the reporter, and then shifted his attention to Maria, who was practicing her martial arts moves."Mimi."His voice wasn't loud, but Maria heard him. Seeing Charles surrounded by reporters, she excused herself from Matthew and approached him."Honey, what's the matter?"He gently reached out, taking Maria’s hand. Seeing the fine sweat on her forehead, he furrowed his brow and asked softly, "Tired?"At his
Billionaire substitute bride Was it just an act?
Mia hid in Luna's room, her neck and chest covered in hickeys. She was afraid to go out, and just as afraid to stay alone in her own room.She was scared and felt wronged when she thought about Alexander, but Luna had no patience for her emotional turmoil. Mia had to deal with it alone.As she was playing a game on her phone, a news alert popped up. She was planning to ignore it, but then she saw her own name.Was it about her and Alexander?She stopped playing the game and clicking the trending news. As she braced herself for what she might see, she was greeted with several photos.The photos showed the backs of two people - unmistakably, Maria and Charles.In one of them, Charles had his arm around Maria’s shoulder, and they were smiling at each other, looking incredibly... happy.In a fit of rage, Mia threw her phone onto thefloor."Why do I have to hide like a rat while that wretched Maria takes my place and trends with Charles?"Thinking about Alexander's sleazy grin, she felt h
