Mia Smith was born in a common family. Her father passed away when she was young. Later, her mother raised her alone with great effort. She was a considerate and diligent girl. Dylan Powell was the powerful man in the country. He is cold and decent. He met Mia once and had a deep impression of Mia's acting ability. Besides, he was also touched by Mia's kindness and her optimistic attitude. Therefore, he tried a lot of ways to pursue Mia and gave her much help in her career. In a word, it's a funny story about a cold boss and a popular actress.

To Be a Popular Actress Chapter 1 Take the Money and Get Lost

A pack of banknotes was smashed into Mia Smith's face. However, although Mia's face hurt sharply, it was the pain in her heart that was killing her.

A well-dressed, middle-aged woman sat opposite Mia, wearing delicate makeup and looking at the latter like a proud queen.

The expression in the woman's eyes was contemptuous. It seemed that she felt an intense loathing for the young woman and did not want to say much to Mia as it would damage her nobility.

Still, the middle-aged woman could not help but curse the young lady.

"Collect the money and get lost. It should be enough for you to squander for a while. I'm telling you the last time. Stop seducing my son. He is getting married. I don't mind if you want to be an underground lover of his. But with your status, you're absolutely not allowed to marry him!"

An underground lover? Getting married?

Mia felt like her head was about to explode. Her classmates chattered around her, but Mia could not hear what they were saying. She only knew that her heart hurt badly.

The man she loved for three years was getting married.

The mother of the man she loved for three years hit Mia with a pack of money to humiliate her in public and force her to stay away from the man.

Where was Luke Powell, the man Mia loved for three years?

Was he holding his fiancée in his arms? Did he know that his mother came to humiliate Mia but deliberately ignore it?

Mia laughed at herself. Wherever Luke was, he would marry a young lady from a powerful family.

Mia should know about this long ago, did not she?

Only it happened slightly earlier than she expected.

"Don't worry. I won't bother him!"

Mia sneered. No one knew whether that sneer was for herself or the woman across from her.

In fact, Mia thought that the other woman was quite pathetic and that there was nothing else but money in the latter's mind.

Mia bypassed the middle-aged woman, stepped on the banknotes, and left without looking back. From beginning to end, she did not spare a glance at the bills on the floor.

After the farce, Mia knew she had to stay away from campus for a short period.

Unexpectedly, that was just the beginning.

Mia initially thought she would be left in peace once she was home. However, before entering her place, she found that nudie photos covered the familiar alleyway walls.

And it was Mia in those photos.

Mia widened her eyes open in shock. She knew well that the body in those photos was not hers, but it was indeed her face matching that body.

Mia ignored the photos and rushed home. A vehicle was parked in front of the door.

Mia instantly recognized that it was the same car before the school entrance a while ago.

"Tell your daughter to stop seducing my son. Even if she doesn't mind being a mistress, I care about the Powell Family's reputation! Take the money on behalf of her as compensation for her youth spent on my son. If she continues pestering him, I'll let her pay the price in addition to those nudie photos."

Mia realized that it was Luke's mother speaking.

The arrogant, domineering woman behaved like a queen and humiliated Mia's mother contemptuously.

Seeing the aged features on Mia's mother's face, the woman intuitively touched her own and mocked, "Look at you. You should be in your forties, but you horribly look like in your fifties or even sixties. Oh my gosh!"

The woman waved her handkerchief and wanted to say something else. However, the other woman with a slightly older looking suddenly rolled her eyes and fell in a faint.

"Mom, what happened?"

Mia hurried to hold her mother. But no matter how she cried, her mother did not wake up.

"Mom, wait. I'll call an ambulance. I'm calling an ambulance."

Mia took out her mobile phone nervously, her finger trembling. The young woman tried hard. However, she could not stop her hand from shaking.

Her Mom was a patient with hypertension and coronary disease. For years, Mia kept Mom in peace and from irritation.

She was worried that Mom would never wake up.

And Mom was the only family member Mia had.

With tears blurring her eyes, Mia eventually called the hospital and anxiously stated their address. Just then, a wedding invitation was thrown upon her head.

"Don't forget to come to the wedding. Then you'll get a clearer idea of the huge status gap between you and Luke."

With that, the haughty woman wiggled away in high heels.

The freezing look in her eyes said that she did not give a damn about Mia's mother's life or death.

An ambulance soon arrived. Mia followed the ambulance to the hospital and waited outside the operating room, feeling like a nightmare.

The lights in the operating room stayed on.

One hour, two hours, three hours... For ten hours, Mom did not come out.

With her tears dried up, Mia sat on a bench as if she had lost consciousness.

When Mia had lost track of time, the door to the operating room was finally opened. The young woman rushed over to tug at the doctor's sleeve.

The doctor, however, shook his head apologetically at her.

In an instant, Mia felt the whole world collapsed. She sat back on the bench and stayed motionless like a corpse.

She did not even blink her eyes.

She could not believe or accept Mom's death. Mom said that she wanted to see Mia get married and give birth to a lovely child.

Mom also said that they would go on a trip when Mia entered the work world and made some money.

Mom once promised that she would witness Mia make dreams come true.

"Mom, how could you leave me alone?" Mia asked helplessly.

Mia broke down and cried hysterically. For that moment, the entire whole was a wasteland to her.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
