Was the photo meant to misguide?
So it was actually like this.
He should have seen it, but when those photos were laid out in front of him, raging jealousy completely burned away his reasoning. Seeing the man walk out of her room, tenderly stroking her hair, he was seized with the desire to tear him apart alive!
âXan.â
âIâm so sorry, Xan.â
Orion frowned, holding her tightly with waves of remorse flooded over him, drowning his entire heart.
Hearing him call her by âXan,â Xanthea knew he believed her now.
She had intended to let bygones be bygones, but recalling his frightening demeanor just moments ago, she couldnât help but pout, feigning tears.
âI had such a tough day at the drama set, struggling with the emotional scenes, getting scolded by the director, and then listening to lectures all night long. My headâs spinning, my bodyâs exhausted, and now I have to endure your baseless accusations. Why is this happening to me....â
âXan, Iâm sorry, so sorry.â
Orion cupped her distressed little face, mechanically repeating his apologies.
âI was wrong.â
âI must have been crazy to say those things. Can you forgive me? Iâll do whatever you ask. Could you? Xanâ
His deep, dark eyes shimmered with unmatched regret, as if heâd rip his heart out for her forgiveness.
Xanthea lowered her hands, captivated by the earnestness in his gaze, âReally?â
âReally.â
âWill you ever misunderstand me again?â
âNever again. From now on, Iâll only listen to Xan, only believe Xan.â
Is he really being so good?
A smile broke across Xantheaâs face, âWell, I might just find it within me to forgive you.â
âXan.â
Orion closed his eyes, hugging her deeply, longing to merge her into his essence.
His Xan, how she could be so wonderful.
âBy the way, where did these photos come from?â
âSomeone from your crew named April took them. Iâll make her regret it.â
His chilling, sinister voice made Xantheaâs skin crawl.
If it were anyone else, she might have dismissed it as an empty threat, but having witnessed him commit murder, she knew he was capable of making it a reality.
âDonât do that, sheâs playing Vivian in âRealm of Illusions,â and the shoot isnât even finished yet. We canât afford any mishaps.â
âFine, weâll wait until the shooting wraps up, all according to Xanâs wishes.â
âI didnât ask you to do anything bad! Just follow the legal procedure after a thorough investigation. Iâm just puzzled, I have no quarrel with her.â
As Xanthea was about to examine the photos again, she noticed she was still in Orionâs tight embrace, so close their chests almost blended.
â?!?â
Why was she still hugging him?
She recoiled and tried to push him away, but he was too strong.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Orion sensed her movement and looked down with a slight confusion.
Taking advantage of his loosened grip, she moved back, keeping a safe distance, âNo-nothing, just a bit hot, no, I mean, hungry.â
Strange, why was her face so hot, and her tongue tied in knots, utterly uncontrollable?
âIâll whip up some snacks.â

âOh, you donât have to, Iâve got snacks at home. Iâll just go back.â
Before Xanthea could object, he was already setting instructions on the smart screenââMaster instruction received: Child lock enabled.â
Her eyes widened as he finished setting it up and headed to the kitchen.
âWatch TV for a bit, Iâll be quick.â
Wait, what does that mean?
Did he think she was blind? So this so-called smart door lock feature was deliberately set by him?
And here he was, setting it right in front of her, outright ignoring her presence!
Although she hadnât planned on leaving anyway.
Xanthea grimaced towards the kitchen, then picking up the photos scattered on the floor.
From her first day on set giving Benjamin a gift, to todayâs ride with him to Sunset Hills Estates, every interaction had been captured. This April sure put a lot of effort into it.
They had no grievances, why did she do it?
Was she trying to sabotage her? Planning to release these photos to ruin her reputation once the show aired, then overshadow her with the role of the second female lead?
Well, thatâs pretty low. Fortunately, Orion had intercepted them.
