第1章

My actor boyfriend and my stunt double had real sex in a large-scale action scene. He thought he had concealed it perfectly. Little did he know that I had already known everything and planned to leave. And on the day of his proposal, I also had to get married to his half-brother, who was his archenemy. "Yvette, will you marry me?" The sentence "I do" that Arnold expected did not come as expected. The diamond ring he held in his hand would never have the chance to be worn on my ring finger. "I don't want to." "Because the person I'm going to marry is Armand!" *** "Propose to me at the press conference next month." Hearing these words, the man stopped tidying up his sleeves and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He took a few steps and brought himself closer. "Are you crazy? Do you know what your relationship with me is?" I said as I calmly fixed my hair, "Of course, you are his brother, Armand." "So, do you agree or not?" Seeing my calm reaction, a faint light flickered in the bottom of his eyes and he responded, "What's in it for me?" "I know you and Arnold are competing for family property. If you marry me, you can not only slap him in the face, but also increase your popularity and expand your market share in the film and television industry. It's a win-win solution. How about it?" Hearing these benefits, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. "Deal." After reaching an agreement, he elegantly opened the door and made a gesture of invitation. "It's our turn to take the stage." "My partner." On the way from the backstage to the front stage of the show, the man beside me said with a hint of mockery in his voice, "It's quite exciting for me to snatch the girl on the tip of Arnold's heart right in front of him." I did not respond. Listening to a voice that was incredibly similar to Arnold's, my thoughts were brought back to the past. The first time I met Arnold was at a press conference. With just one glance, the man was moved. Then came the intense pursuit that lasted for two years. He went against all public opinion and invested huge sums of money in the movie I wanted to make. I was filming a travel variety show when the directing team threw me onto a foreign road. He came in a private jet to support me. After two years of companionship, we naturally came together. Our love and loyalty to each other were what I had always firmly believed in. Until a sudden invitation to the Cannes Film Festival. When I finished my work and returned to my home country, I found that everything had changed. Laurent Smith served as my stunt double and filmed a large-scale action scene with the male lead, Arnold Finch. Unexpectedly, during the filming, the two of them became so lustful that they actually turned their fake play into reality. Three months later, the news of Laurent's pregnancy was discovered by the Finch Family. Randolf Finch said that he wanted to have grandchildren next year. And when I first debuted, I lost the qualification to be a mother forever due to a filming accident. At that time, Arnold was in a critical period of competing for family property. He did not dare to go against the elders of the Finch Family, so he had to compromise, but he asked to leave the mother and keep the son. The Finch Family agreed. During the year when Laurent was pregnant, Arnold treated me twice better. First, I spent fourteen million dollars to invest in a female growth-themed movie that I had been looking forward to for a long time and was currently being filmed. Later, he made a big move at the auction. Light the sky lamp and buy the Star Diamond which was worth twenty-eight million dollars for me. He thought he had done it flawlessly and that these efforts could deepen my love for him. He even planned to propose to me at the wrap-up press conference of the movie.

But what he did not know was that I already knew everything. Once unfaithful, never to be trusted again. I could not accept Arnold's unfaithful love. I could not accept him treating me like a fool. I wanted to leave him, but I also wanted him to feel my pain. So I wanted to accept the proposal of his half-enemy brother in front of him. I walked elegantly and charmingly in a starry-sky dress. In the interview session. Arnold, as the largest investor, also attended the event. The reporters immediately swarmed around as soon as seeing him. "Mr. Finch, I heard that you took part in the leading role this time for your girlfriend?" "Yvette is usually too busy with her work, so I have to create time to spend together." "Mr. Finch, do you have any strategic plans for the new film that ForFinch Film and Television will invest twenty-eight million dollars in next year?" "Since Yvette wanted to make it, I invested." "Mr. Finch ...." Faced with numerous reporters' crazy questions. Arnold held my hand and answered with a happy expression on his face. The entry "The Charm of Rich Men" instantly dominated the hot search list. There were a lot of hot comments from netizens. [I thought one was money-loving and the other was just looking at appearance, but I didn't expect it was actually love!] [An influential business tycoon in is actually a love-brained person.] [He's too in love, I wouldn't even dare to dream of being like this.] After doing the interview, I was rubbing my sore and slightly swollen ankle with my head down. Then the man reached out to help me. "Yvette, don't move. I'll carry you to the car." I waved my hand slightly and said calmly, "It's okay, I can still walk." Arnold picked me up without giving me any time to explain. "No, with me here, I won't let you suffer." I did not refuse again. After he carried me into the car, a message notification appeared on my mobile phone screen. I asked a private detective to do the investigation. [Mr. Finch was not in the company this morning. He went to the confinement center.] Next, a 5-second high-definition video came below the message. In the video, Arnold was diligently and clumsily changing diapers for the baby. The nurse praised him. "I rarely see such a caring father ...." The in-car TV nearby was playing entertainment news about his love affair with a wealthy family. I stared at the screen of my mobile phone, quietly listening to the host praising our relationship and I just felt disconnected. 'Arnold, can you really hold two people in your heart?' After arriving home, he gently carried me into the house. On the dining table was the candlelight dinner he had already prepared. He thoughtfully put some dishes in my plate and asked me if I liked it. I nodded lightly and a smile instantly broke out on his face. "I love seeing you enjoying your dinner. I feel like I don't want to do anything and keep staring at you." I lowered my head and enjoyed my food without responding. After dinner, Arnold got up and went into the bathroom. When I heard the sound of water running in the bathroom, I picked up his mobile phone from the table, clicked on WhatsApp and found his chat box with Laurent. [Honey, the baby has been crying all day. Maybe he misses his daddy.] [I miss you too, Dear. I'm busy today. I'll come to see you tomorrow.] [Oh no, I think I want to see you now!] [Just wait for me!] His every word was gentle and caring. He patiently coaxed his wife, who had just given birth. Arnold once said that he hated the most delaying work because of relationships, but it turned out that Laurent was an exception.

第3章

No wonder he rushed over to the show today and almost arrived late. Using the company meeting as the excuse of delaying the show, it turned out that he went to accompany Laurent. In the more than ten years we had been together, Arnold had never lied to me. However, after having a relationship with that woman, it was his countless lie. I scrolled up the chat history only to find out that they were in contact every day. [Honey, I miss you so much.] [Body misses, or heart misses?] [Both miss you.] [This young pregnant woman is still restless, wait for me to go back and satisfy you.] The Arnold in front of me had always been a dignified and restrained person, but now his blatant flirting made me unfamiliar. It turned out that every time he excused himself for being busy with work and not contacting me, he was having a hot fight with Laurent. Scrolling it up again, the chat history stopped at the time when I got injured during the filming two months ago. [It's so boring to be a bedmate in the hospital. What are you doing?] [Trying on new clothes.] [Send it to me so I can see if it's good or not.] In the photo, it was a picture of Laurent wearing a nurse's uniform erotic lingerie. [You're seducing me again.] [You just said you seduced me ... 8-month-old pregnant woman, want to taste it~] The chat history came to an end abruptly. But I remembered that day, Arnold said that there was something going on at the company, so he left me, his girlfriend, who had a leg injury and could not get out of the bed alone in the hospital. It turned out that he was in a hurry to find Laurent to vent his sexual desire. I looked at Arnold's blurry figure in the bathroom and laughed at myself. That time on the set, I could barely convince myself based on my impulse, but what about this time? Arnold, in fact, every time, you were willing and proactive. Then I searched and clicked on Laurent's social media account. The top posts were all recent photos of Arnold and her. A passionate kiss on the beach, an intimate photo of the family of three and Arnold holding her sleeping side face. Seeing how deep and close their relationship was, I felt like I was suffocating. If he was forced to keep the child in the beginning, then what did his companionship and concern for Laurent mean now? The sound of water running in the bathroom stopped, so I put his mobile phone back in its original position. The movie was still being filmed and as the male and female protagonists, Arnold and I could not make any mistakes at this time. Now was not the time for a showdown. Ten minutes later, the hormonal scent of shower gel swept over my body. I turned around and pushed him away. "I'm tired today." "Okay, let's do it another day." I took a deep breath and tried my best to ignore the existence of the man beside me. I stared at the ceiling and could not sleep the whole night. 'Arnold Finch ... you really do not deserve my forgiveness.' 'Bear with it a little longer. Once this movie was finished, I can completely leave you.' The next day, Arnold and I went to the set together. Laurent, who had already changed her clothes, was waiting for the shooting to start. It was the scene where Laurent, as a stunt double, took the slap for me. "No, do it again." "How the fuck do you act? You have to be pitiful but a little stubborn. Do you fucking understand? Who are you staring at with those dead fish eyes, huh?" "Retake!" "Retake!" "Retake!" Listening to the director's scolding, Arnold held my hand tighter and tighter. When the assistant director shouted for the 7th retake, a hint of coldness flashed in Arnold's eyes and he finally could not help but strode over. "Filming is filming, you put your mouth cleaner, let me hear you curse again, pack up and get out before it's too late!"

Arnold's sudden outburst of anger left the director's team puzzled. They did not understand why the dignified and restrained man, who always had only Yvette Cuthberth in his eyes, would get so angry at him for a little stunt double. The assistant director had no choice but to apologize for his mistake. The entire crew was in an uproar and everyone was whispering. "What's wrong with him today? He got angry because of a stunt double." "Yes, he never cares about such things." "That's strange." I was in front of the car, listening to the crew's comments, but my gaze had always been fixed on Arnold. He seemed to have completely ignored my presence and coldly pulled Laurent's arm. Then he suddenly stopped and his expression became even darker in an instant. "The logistics team and the props team leaders, come over here!" "Is this the costume you prepared for the actress? It's minus 12 degrees Celsius and it's so thin, how are you going to let her wear it?" "Didn't you see that her hands were all blue from the cold? Everyone in the logistics and props teams clearly embezzled the crew's funds, so please pack your bags and get out!" As soon as the words fell, most of the crew members changed their expressions. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her with heartache. Laurent, who was tightly held in his arms, turned her head and looked at me provocatively. Arnold turned around and left with her, but suddenly he met my gaze and his angry face froze in an instant. Without waiting for him to explain, I walked straight onto the RV and instructed the driver to go home. Anyway, judging from the situation, we could not shoot this scene today. The RV was stopped by Arnold halfway. He quickly got into the car, hugged me and explained with a soft and a bit worried voice. "Yvette, don't misunderstand. She's your stunt double and I feel sorry for you wearing thin clothes in such a cold weather to film. Don't think too much ...." Listening to his clumsy lies, I sneered in my heart. I resisted the urge to push him away and said patiently, "So you were standing up for me. I misunderstood." The man then breathed a sigh of relief, closed the car door and leaned over to kiss me lightly. At this moment, the assistant called, "Mr. Finch, would you like to attend the birthday party of the CEO of Mango Pictures tomorrow evening?" "Go ahead. Prepare a set of man's suit and two sets of women's dresses!" "By the way, bring the Chanel haute couture dinner dress I prepared specifically for Yvette." "Two sets?" The assistant on the other end of the phone could not help but ask one more question. "What nonsense, just hurry up and do it." Looking at my calm gaze, he spoke up, "Today, the assistant director bullied her because she was a small actress. Bring her to the birthday party to brush up her face and no one will dare to bully her in the future." Uncontrollable concern in front of me, false lies and poor acting skills. Everything showed me that he cared about Laurent, very much. The dress was quickly brought by the assistant and Laurent also came with it. As soon as I walked in, she smiled at me sweetly and called out. "Yvette." She was very familiar with the movement of changing shoes and it seemed that this was not her first time. Trying on the dress, Laurent clearly liked the haute couture set Arnold prepared for me. "Yvette, this outfit looks great on you. I wonder how it would look on me." Arnold's heart moved and said, "Yvette, just give this dress to her. You have a better figure anyway, so you look good in anything." I did not argue and nodded in agreement. I did even want him anymore, why bother arguing about a dress?

第5章

When Laurent changed into my dress and walked into the waiting room, a glimmer of light flashed in Arnold's eyes. "It's good on you," he said in a slightly hoarse voice. Laurent lightly tied up her hair and curled her lips with an imperceptible provocation. "Then what if I am compare to Yvette?" Hearing this, Arnold gave her a deep glare. Then he took my hand and said gently, "Of course my Yvette is the most beautiful." As if dissatisfied with his complimenting me on my beautiful looks, she stomped her feet, turned around and snorted at him. During the party, she was throwing tantrums because he said that I was the most beautiful. Arnold did not coax her either and spent the whole night socializing. Until she was approached by someone. Laurent deliberately drank a glass of wine with the big-bellied man, Denzel Lohan. Glancing sideways, I saw Arnold, who was talking to someone, suddenly had a dark face. A tall figure stood in front of Laurent, his tone was cold. "This is the person I brought with me. What do you want to do, Mr. Lohan?" When he saw that the person coming was Arnold, he sobered up instantly and left after apologizing repeatedly. Arnold frowned and was about to scold the girl, but she ran away in tears. Ignoring me standing aside, he hurriedly followed up. The garden was quiet, so quiet that I could hear Laurent choking sobs. "Why are you chasing after me? You love Yvette more anyway. So what if I drink with other men!" Looking at the girl in front of him who was still in a bad mood, Arnold gritted his teeth. "You are my girl, who allowed you to drink with other men?" Hearing these words, I found myself amused, but my hands could not help but tremble. "Then I want you to have only me as your girl! Tomorrow, you're going to break up with Yvette and marry me!" she said coquettishly? His tone suddenly turned cold. "Don't be silly! I told you before, it's impossible to break up with her." Hearing what he said, Laurent pushed him away forcefully. But Arnold grabbed her and leaned over to kiss her. I watched this scene, tears streaming down my face. I thought I had already accepted it. 'Why have you decided to give up?' Seeing it with my own eyes, I still felt heartbroken. I turned around and left the party. Half an hour later, he hurried back. Seeing me at home, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yvette, you scared me to death. You didn't even answer the phone." It took more than an hour to get home from the hall, but he only took half an hour. Looking at the sweat on his forehead due to anxiety, I felt more and more dazed. I knew Arnold loved me very much, but at the same time, he also fell in love with Laurent. However, I just wanted to be firmly chosen. Arnold's cheating was a selective issue that I would never forgive! Noticing that something was wrong with me, he explained guiltily. "Laurent was bullied and she was crying so hard, so I went to the garden to comfort her for a while. After all, I was the one who brought her there." "Are you angry?" Having heard enough of his clumsy lies, I impatiently closed my eyes. "No, I'm tired." That night, Arnold took the initiative to sleep in a separate room. There was a cold war for seven days in a row. Before the final scene of the movie, he took the initiative to pick me up and take me to the production team. "Yvette, are you still angry with me? Believe me, there's really nothing between Laurent and me!" "I swear to God, my Little Princess, please don't be angry, okay?"

I nodded perfunctorily to show that I was no longer angry and had forgiven him. Anyway, after filming this scene, a press conference would be held in about a week. I knew, Arnold was planning to propose to me at the press conference. By then, the planned departure could soon be realized. Get ready for the shoot after getting my makeup done. The last scene was the female lead sinking into the lake. In order to ensure the authenticity of the effect, the crew decided to shoot on location. Unfortunately, on this day, I was on my period. I endured the discomfort and sank into the lake twice. The director was still not satisfied. The third time, under the influence of the cold water of the lake, my lower abdomen suddenly suffered severe pain. After getting out of the water, my face was pale and my lips were blue. The director suggested that the stunt double Laurent to act out the last three seconds of the scene where the character fell into the water. Everyone knew that Arnold loved his girlfriend. He would definitely agree to this proposal. Strangely, he thought about it for a long time. He turned around and said to the director, "Let Yvette do it. Just three seconds." There was an uproar at the scene and everyone's face was filled with surprise. I was in so much pain that my face turned pale. Hearing what he said, I lifted my head and gave him a deep glance. He hurriedly pulled me aside to explain. "Yvette, Laurent, she's still in her period, she can't leave the roots of her illness, so ...." I ignored his words, took off the coat wrapped around my body and shouted at the director. "It's okay, keep filming ...." Before I could finish my words, a coat with the scent of agarwood was wrapped around me. "Why are you forcing yourself to keep filming? Go find a stand-in." The sudden appearance of Armand Finch made everyone at the scene look sideways. Armand, who wrapped me up, casually raised his eyes and looked at Arnold with a playful expression. "Sorry, I can't see a beautiful woman falling into the water." Seeing him, Arnold became more and more upset and walked straight to my side to protect me. "This is my girlfriend, so I don't need you, an outsider, to worry about it. Also, I'm warning you, it's best not to meddle in other people's affairs." "Your girlfriend? I'm an outsider?" Armand's mouth curved into an inexplicable smile and he said, "My dear brother, you are still living in a dream." Arnold could not understand the meaning of his words. But I understood. The last scene was over. The press conference was coming up in a week. I finally did not have to fall into the quagmire of Arnold's love triangle anymore. On the day of the press conference. Arnold appeared very nervous before going on stage. He held my hand and said, "Yvette, I am really nervous and excited when I think about proposing to you soon. This is not a dream, right?" I patted the back of his hand gently without saying a word. I could not respond to him, because today was the day we parted ways. On the location of the press conference. The host pretended to be mysterious and said that there was still one big event today. A glimmer of expectation appeared in Arnold's eyes and his whole heart was about to jump out of his chest. The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived and he felt like he was about to float up. "Love Story" song was played at the right time. A romantic spotlight fell on me and petals fell at the right time. Arnold looked at me with deep affection, his voice trembling with excitement. "Yvette, you said this movie is your lifelong dream. I want to say that marrying you is also my lifelong dream. Would you be willing to help me fulfill my dream?" These words caused a burst of cheers from the stage and the atmosphere was instantly pushed to a climax.

Arnold knelt on one knee and raised the diamond ring. "Yvette, marry me!" I stared at him quietly, but never said the "I do" that everyone was expecting. The diamond ring he held high in his right hand never reached my hand. Everyone looked at me in confusion and whispered to each other. Arnold's heart suddenly sank and he quickly raised his head and looked at me. But he found that my figure was stepping back step by step. He was a little flustered. He cleared his throat to repeat his proposal. "Yvette, are you willing to ...." "She's not willing!" Arnold's words were interrupted forcefully by the man in the audience. The sudden sound made everyone at the scene look around for the source. Just when everyone was confused, I took the microphone and my voice echoed throughout the venue. "I'm not willing." "Because the person I'm going to marry is his brother, Armand Finch!" A stone could cause a thousand ripples. This sentence caused an uproar among the audience. "What's going on?" "Damn! This trip was worth it!" All kinds of doubtful and banter voices echoed one after another and the whole venue was in chaos. Under Arnold's panicked gaze, I walked down the stairs and handed my hand to Armand who had been waiting with his hand reached out. The song "Love Story" was reaching its climax at the scene. But the proposed partner had changed. Armand knelt down on one knee and put on the diamond ring he had prepared for me. Proposal successful! By the time everyone at the scene reacted, I had already followed Armand out. There was a moment of silence in the air, followed by the sound of the crowd boiling. "Oh my God! Shocking news! Wasn't it Arnold who's going to propose? Why did his brother suddenly show up?" "Take a picture, take a picture quickly!" Arnold, who had been standing there in a daze, finally reacted. Anger broke through his fear and he instantly lost his mind and chased after me like a mad dog. I watched helplessly as I threw away the bouquet in my hand without any reluctance. At the entrance of the hall, I could hear my hearty laughter. He could not believe it and almost collapsed as he questioned me loudly. "Yvette, what do you want! Why are you doing this to me!" I turned around and looked at Arnold who was extremely hurt and spoke with a chuckle. "Arnold, you should go back and take care of your son instead of proposing to me here." Upon hearing these words, his face was instantly devastated. His legs and feet seemed to be nailed in place and he could not move forward even a single step. "Y-Yvette, you already know?"
