Benjamin is a big shot in the business world, and many interviews can't even get a slot with him. But he suddenly appeared on a little-known variety show and made a bold statement on air. "I came here specifically for one person." The ambiguous response from the new young actress Margo sent the internet into a frenzy. "The domineering CEO straightforwardly pursues love! I'm all for it." "There's mutual affection here; I sense something unusual." "They've confessed their feelings; this couple is definitely shipping hard!" What they don't know is that he begged me to be on this show.
Jasper Welch was a big shot in the business world, and many interviews couldn't even get him scheduled.
But he suddenly appeared on a little-known variety show and even called out during the program.
"I came here specifically for one person."
The ambiguous response from rising star Eleanor Smith sent the entire internet into a frenzy.
"The domineering CEO goes straight for love. I'm all for it."
"There's mutual affection here. I sense something unusual."
"The couple seemed to have confirmed it. Let's ship them."
What they didn't know was that this variety show was something Jasper begged me to join.
"Mr. Welch, we all know that you are relatively low-key. Could you share with the audience your reason for coming on the show?"
Having seen it all, Jasper relaxed on the show as if he were at home, even propping his leg up.
"Well, I came specifically for one person."
The show was live-streamed, and I caught a glimpse of the barrage of comments going wild with excitement.
"The domineering CEO goes straight for love. I'm all for it."
"Isn't Eleanor quite popular lately? She's also on this show. Could it be for her?"
"The cold and serious guy is earnestly chasing love. Let's ship them."
It was clear that Eleanor also saw these comments. She shyly glanced at Jasper.
Then she said, "Everyone, please don't speculate. We are a serious travel program, not a matchmaking show."
The audience got excited again.
"There's mutual affection here. I sense something unusual."
"The couple seemed to have confirmed it. Let's ship them."
"A rising star paired with a cool, distant CEO. It's so interesting!"
Suddenly, Jasper turned his head to look at me. I panicked and fanned myself, avoiding his gaze.
Last time, I got criticized for posting a photo with my brother and ended up trending for riding on the toptier star's coattails.
I couldn't let them accuse me of seducing Jasper again this time. Otherwise, I'd probably be rumored to be his sugar baby.
Then, Jasper's gaze settled back on Eleanor.
"It's fine. I'm not here for you."
I couldn't help but laugh, but the next moment I froze.
There were only two female guests present. How much clearer could he be?
We had clearly agreed at home to pretend we didn't know each other, but Jasper went back on his word.
While playing games, I was always in the same team with Jasper.
I asked him how it could be so coincidental.
He looked at me like I was an idiot and casually replied, "Because I sponsored the show."
When he wore casual clothes, I always subconsciously forgot that he was the big player in the business world.
For such a small show, he was treated like royalty.
That evening, Jasper went home. He only signed on for one episode.
As soon as Jasper stepped out the door, he sent me a message.
"I'm staying at the Hyatt Hotel tonight, 23rd floor."
I quickly replied, "Oh, I'm not going."
"Alright, then I'll just create a Twitter account and say you're my girlfriend."
Huh? Capitalists had their tricks down to a science.
Fully geared up, I sneaked over and knocked on Jasper's hotel room door.
The door opened from the inside, and Jasper appeared, freshly showered with droplets still in his hair.
"You're pretty punctual. Not bad."
I had also showered, and when I came out, he was on a video conference.
As soon as I approached, he closed his laptop and started to dry my hair.
The sound of the hairdryer buzzed in my ears, lulling me into a sleepy state, but I heard Jasper's sigh.
"I'm going to be gone for half a month to discuss the acquisition."
I had a bad feeling. He usually wouldn't share such things with me.
Sure enough, the next second, he began to play tricks.
Linsey was stood up by her groom to run off with another woman. Furious, she grabbed a random stranger and declared, "Let's get married!" She had acted on impulse, realizing too late that her new husband was the notorious rascal, Collin. The public laughed at her, and even her runaway ex offered to reconcile. But Linsey scoffed at him. "My husband and I are very much in love!" Everyone thought she was delusional. Then Collin was revealed to be the richest man in the world. In front of everyone, he got down on one knee and held up a stunning diamond ring. "I look forward to our forever, honey."
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

The day Joelle went into labor, Adrian was traveling with his mistress on his private jet. "I don't care whom you love. My debt is paid. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Not long after Joelle left, Adrian found himself begging on his knees. "Please come back to me."

"Release my arm, Mr. Carrington, before I force you to." She says, seeming to smile at me. I give her a sly smile. Squeezing my wrist with her other hand, she twists it uncomfortably. I gave a painful hiss. "Don't underestimate me, Mr. Carrington." "This is the only time I will allow you to walk away from me, Miss Carter." She glared at me as she turned. "Mr. Carrington, I am no possession of yours." I was left standing there when she opened the classroom door and left.
