Billionaire's Baby

In a poorly lit hotel room, Jane Austen wriggled restlessly on the oversized bed, her body aching and her head pounding from the excessive alcohol she had consumed earlier.

As she took a deep breath, she noticed two figures standing near the bed, one of whom was actress Ciara Tyla and her manager, Salem Blue.

Realizing it was getting late, Jane attempted to get up, but was stopped by Ciara’s impatient voice.

“She looks ready to go,” Ciara remarked.

Confused, Jane wondered what Ciara meant by her comment.

Earlier that night, Jane had received a call from Salem to pick them up at the hotel, but upon arrival, Ciara had taken her to meet the producer and director and had given her alcohol until she became dizzy and disoriented.

Salem looked at Jane with sympathy and sighed, “It’s a shame that such a beautiful girl is going to be used by Director Rebel.”

Ciara, however, was dismissive and snide. “Don’t sympathize with her. She’s just a stuntwoman, it’s her job.”

Ciara then went on to explain how she had been offered a role by Director Rebel in exchange for sleeping with him, and how she was planning to do the same with Jane.

Jane was shocked and appalled by Ciara’s plan, and wondered why she would be treated this way after all her hard work over the past six months.

Even though she was still feeling the effects of the alcohol, Jane knew she had to stand up for herself and refuse to be used in this way.

Just as she was about to rise and reveal their identities, Salem suddenly spoke up.

“Ciara, I’ve always been curious, you have no relation or connection with her, so why did you pay for her brother’s medical treatment?”

Jane’s heart sank slightly. Could there be something more to this?

“Help her? You’re mistaken,” Ciara chuckled. “I only spent 4 dollars to hire a rising star to give up her stardom and work as a stand-in actor for me for half a year without even paying her a cent. It was she who helped me.”

Salem was taken aback. “You mean...”

“When I first heard the rumor that Director Kurt was interested in her pure looks and wanted to cast her as the lead, I took notice of her.”

Salem knew which movie Ciara was referring to. It was said that the lead actress had not yet been confirmed, but it was only a matter of time before it was in Ciara’s grasp.

“So, you designed her to be your substitute to conceal her identity?”

Ciara checked the time on her phone and hurriedly said, “Oh, it’s almost time. I have to go. It wouldn’t be good if I ran into Director Rebel.”

Ciara nodded and turned to leave.

She thought about Salem’s question, looked at Jane on the bed, and said nonchalantly, “Of course, it’s not as simple as that. It’s all because she offended someone she shouldn’t have.”
