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?"

"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
Billionaire substitute bride Honey, you’re here
The next morning, Mia woke up early. This time, she didn't go to Luna's room. Instead, she covered her neck with a scarf, donned a mask and a baseball cap, and slipped out the door.On set.As soon as Director Grant saw Maria, he called her over. "Mia, your scenes will mainly take place in the billiard room today. We finally get to witness your incredible performance."Maria gave an embarrassed smile. "Director Grant, I'm so flattered..."Director Grant let out a hearty laugh. "Alright, Mia, no need to be modest. The script calls for it, so give us a good show, alright? Try to make your moves look as smooth as possible, got it?"The glamor of movie magic doesn't quite align with the ordinary routine of a billiard game.The focus is on striking a pose, not on whether the balls pocket or not.Maria, with a smile, acknowledged this and headed for the changing room.While she switched outfits, Director Grant had his crew prepare the set, awaiting her return.When she stepped out dressed i
Billionaire substitute bride So what?
Silently, Charles pulled his suit jacket collar around Maria, enveloping her in its folds.Without a word, he abruptly turned to face Director Grant. "Did you have her dress like this just to play pool?"Caught off guard, Director Grant smiled nervously, "Young Master Smith, it's for the plot...""What plot?"Charles snatched the cue stick from Maria’s hand and tossed it to the floor. The loud clatter startled everyone in the room.Young Master Smith's anger was truly terrifying. With his dark eyes filled with icy rage, he stared at Director Grant, his face frosted with anger. "Director Grant, as a top-tier director, do you depend on exploiting your actresses to build your reputation?"Director Grant was left speechless, his face flushing red then pale.Of course, his fame wasn't built on exploiting actresses; he had genuine talent.But he couldn't explain this to Charles, so he just chuckled awkwardly, "Young Master Smith, Mia is playing a cold-blooded assassin who disguises herself.
Billionaire substitute bride I admit my mistake
At this moment, Maria sat in Charles' car, her heart pounding in her chest.She was not blind to the anger that Director Grant had displayed earlier. His rage was only held back because of Charles' presence."Charles..." she began, biting her lower lip softly. "Do you think Director Grant will be upset and replace Mia’s role?"After all, no director would like a disobedient actress, let alone tolerate a trouble maker on set.Charles glanced at her, as she was still dressed in the outfit from the set, and he frowned deeply. "Ria, you're a girl. Should you really give in when they ask you to dress like this? Don't you have any say in it?""No," Maria shook her head, trying to explain. "As an actress, shouldn't we follow the director's guidance?""Huh..." Charles laughed in spite of his irritation. "So, if he told you to undress, would you?""Absolutely not!" Maria instinctively covered herself. "I have my own limits. There are things I will never do."Suddenly, her phone beeped twice.
