The Night I Won an Award, My Lover Sold Me OutChapter 1

The night I won the Best Actress award, Luca sent me to an investor's bed.

"It's just one night. It’s fine, Zara. Please, help me."

I was drugged and disoriented, so my body felt heavy and powerless. I could not even summon the strength to say no.

After it was over, Luca gently cleaned the traces from my body.

He held me tenderly and whispered, "Don’t be afraid, Zara. I’ll marry you, I promise."

I clung to those words, telling myself they were enough.

But later, a rising starlet asked him, "You’ve been with Zara for ten years. Were you really willing to hand her over to someone else? That Grant Yates, who’s even rumored to have a pregnant wife? Just the thought makes me sick."

Luca chuckled playfully, "What are you saying? Are you trying to trap me? I don’t care if she sleeps with a hundred Grants. As long as it brings me resources for you, you’re the one I can’t bear to lose. Are you happy now, my jealous little girl?"

So that was it. I was nothing more than a bargaining chip exchanged for his lover’s career.

Devastated, I chose to withdraw from the industry. When the news about this reached Luca York, he came straight to my door.
