My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Wendy was flabbergasted. “You’ve got your schedule packed for the next few days, and besides, the guest list for the next episode of Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night is already released. You’re not on it, but Olivia, your arch–nemesis, is on the list.”

“With Xanthea’s being invited, how can I even bother about her?” Isabella replied coldly. “Just do as I say. I’d appear on Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night for free, if that’s what it takes!”

“Well then.”

Wendy shook her head helplessly, realizing there was a brewing storm between Isabella and Xanthea.

She couldn’t understand it. Xanthea never really acknowledged Isabella, so why was Isabella constantly picking fights with her? Despite her years in the industry and her fierce reputation, Isabella never usually sought out conflicts–except when it came to Xanthea.

Wendy was worried. If Isabella the top–tier star, were to be overshadowed by Xanthea, a newcomer, it would be a double loss. But her premonitions were only growing stronger.

‘Cut!”

“Xan, that’s a wrap for today!”

“Thanks, Director, see you!”

As Xanthea shed her costume, getting ready to head to her dressing room, Kevin approached her with a grin.

“Xan, how are you finding the shoot so far?”

“Great”

“And how’s Director Smith treating you?”

“Really well.”

“That’s good to hear!” Kevin’s smile widened. Just make sure you put in a good word for me with Mr. Lockwood when you can.” “Huh?” Xanthea paused, recalling what happened in the dressing room earlier Director, please don’t get us wrong, Orion and I are not…”

“I get it, I get it,” Kevin interjected before she could finish “you’re just starting out, and going public with a relationship might affect your popularity. Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me

“It’s not that.”

“But remember, love shouldn’t distract you from work. You’ve got some intense action scenes coming up, so better stay fit.”

Xanthea massaged her forehead, feeling like she couldn’t clear her name even if she jumped into the Mississippi River.

At Room 3001 of the Sunset Hills Estates

Standing at the doorstep with her script, Xanthea took several deep breaths, muttering to herself, “Stay calm, it’s just acting. Don’t let his charm sway you again….”

Bracing herself, she was about to ring the doorbell when the door swung open.

“Xan, you’re back?”

Qrion appeared freshly showered, his body emitting a faint pine scent Droplets trickled from his wet, black hair down his chiseled face, pooling into his slightly open athletic shirt that barely concealed his impeccable physique. Even in a simple black robe, his perfect V–shaped torso was unmistakably striking.

Those deep, obsidian eyes fixed on her his voice soft and warm, and his words “Xan, you’re back?” sounded much like… Honey, you’re home?

Xanthea swallowed hard, fighting the thoughts in her mind.

It was strange. He’s always been handsome, but now he seemed irresistible.

That was bad‘ Despite her reluctance to admit it, she had to admit that her thoughts about Orion had become improper, and she was starting to feel those lustful desires.

you coming in?”

reality, Xanthea stammered “Yes, yes, of course.”
