“Didn’t | tell you not to contact her?” Yolanda said calmly as she closed the door to the dressing room.
“Is Raelyn harassing you?”
“Yeah,” lan replied, “she keeps pestering me-I've turned her down so many times, but it doesn’t help.”
Raelyn rarely set her sights on a guy-she was far too proud to chase after anyone.
Yolanda glanced lan up and down, teasing, “Ever considered giving her a shot? Like she said, you'd cout
ahead.”
lan’s usual warmth vanished; his lips thinned into a tight line.
Just as Yolanda was sure he'd leave without another word, lan suddenly broke into a confident grin and pulled
her into his arms. “What if | dated you instead?”
“I'm married,” Yolanda replied firmly.
“So you toldto get that tongue piercing, huh?” lan retorted with a playful glint in his eyes.
Yolanda was at a total loss for words-there was simply no winning this round.
“So you're really not interested in dating her?” Yolanda teased, a half-smile playing at her lips.
“Not at all,” lan shot back without hesitation.
Yolanda gave his head a light, teasing tap. “Alright, letgo talk to her, see if she’s willing to settle this quietly.
You were a little too intense just now.”
lan caught the subtle scent that lingered around her, and something intense flickered in his eyes.
When it was lan’s turn for his scene, Yolanda headed off to look for Raelyn.
The red mark on Raelyn’s neck was sticking out like a sore thumb. Even the makeup artist couldn’t help but ask,
“Ms. Cullen, what's up with your neck?”
Raelyn was already wearing a frosty scowl, but the moment she spotted Yolanda, her temper exploded. “Get
out!”
Yolanda smiled, offering her a bottle of water. “lan doesn’t really know how to handle these things. | hope you're
not upset, Ms. Cullen-I've already talked to him about it.”
Raelyn let out a cold laugh, refusing the water outright.
Yolanda leaned in, lowering her voice. “By the way, | still have those texts your agent sent me. Trust me, | could
go public, but I'd rather keep things private. | brought lan here so he could apologize to you himself. There are
plenty of guys in this business-he’s just not that lucky, and honestly, he’s a bit clueless. No need to get worked
up over him. Plus, his mom's seriously ill, that’s the real reason he cinto this industry. He's

been pretty sensitive about everything.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaelyn shot Yolanda a chilly look and stood up, practically sneering. “Seriously, you think I'm dying for sguy
with an ice cube for a face? Bet he’s boring in bed, too. And as for him grabbing me-I'm not forgetting that, and
I'm definitely not letting it slide. Right now, he’s nowhere near my level, but if you dare leak those texts, let's see
who gets dragged through the mud online. Oh, and just so you know? I've had ties with the Andrade family
before. Mess with me, and trust me-you’re gonna wish you hadn't.”
Raelyn didn’t even pretend to be nice. She slapped Yolanda’s cheek with a smirk. “He's clueless, and you're not
much better. Threaten me? Please, who do you think you are? Don’t tellyou two haven't already hooked up-
that boy’s probably head over heels for you. Just wait till he gets famous. Watch how | tear him down in front of
everyone.”
Yolanda wondered to herself, ‘Who did Raelyn actually get involved with from the Andrade family?”
‘Vivian's brother-Cedric?*
‘No way it was Grady. His status in Beloris was way too hush-hush. Getting anywhere near him would be nearly
impossible.’
‘Cedric was famous for being petty-everyone knew how short-tempered he was with women.
‘Raelyn probably got with him back when she wasn’t famous yet!"
“Ms. Cullen, are you getting all worked up just because nobody wants to sleep with you?” Yolanda shot back, her
words loaded with mockery.
“You-!" Raelyn snarled, and raised her hand to slap Yolanda.
But Yolanda reacted instantly, catching Raelyn’s wrist before it could connect.
“Oh, really? How dare you as a manager talk tolike that. Just wait-I'll make sure you two get kicked out of
the entertainment industry for good!” Raelyn hissed, face twisted in fury.
She ripped her hand out of Yolanda’s grip and stormed out of the dressing room.
Yolanda had herself wrapped up tight, with only her eyes showing-like she was ready to go full ninja mode.
Later that evening, the two of them ran into each other again in the hotel restaurant.
Since Yolanda ditched the hat and mask and swapped outfits, Raelyn didn’t put two and two together-she had no
clue this was lan’s manager right away.
Yolanda happened to sit nearby, catching Raelyn giving her agent an order. “Go tell Cedric to have lan
blacklisted.”
Brittany Carpenter nodded, keeping her voice low. “Raelyn, weren't you and Cedric done a long tago?”
“We just started talking again,” Raelyn shrugged, flipping her hair back.
“The Andrade family’s backing is no joke.”

Yolanda kept her eyes lowered, focusing on her plate as she quietly finished her food.
That was when Charles showed up, sliding into the seat next to her.

Yolanda coughed lightly, glancing his way before speaking. “Pretty sure I'm catching a cold. I'll go upstairs and
grab smedicine-don’t want you coming down with it too.”
She got up and stepped away, picking the perfect angle to snap a photo that made Charles and Raelyn look
suspiciously close-like they were sharing an intimate dinner together.
Then she had someone send the picture to Cedric anonymously.
Cedric didn’t care for Charles one bit, even if he kept it to himself. He was fiercely protective of his sister Vivian,
and whenever he saw her suffering because of Charles, it just fueled his dislike.
If a woman he’d ever hooked up with was getting close to Charles, Cedric would see it as a slap in the face.
Above all, it was a matter of pride for him.
Sure enough, just a few minutes after the image leaked out, Cedric couldn't wait to call Raelyn.
Raelyn finally noticed Charles sitting not far away-her face grew warm in embarrassment as she picked up the
call.
Cedric’s voice, icy and full of suspicion, sliced through the line. “Who are you having dinner with?”
“Cedric, I'm on my own, but I'm in the next city, so | can’t cover tonight,” Raelyn said, carefully trying to
keep her tone light.
Cedric always demanded she spend two days with him every month-and she never dared refuse.
Cedric gave a chilly laugh. “On your own? You really wantto believe that?”
Raelyn’s brow furrowed as she nodded. “I swear, I'd never lie to you.”
“Don’t bullshit me, Raelyn! Who the hell do you think you are, sneaking around with sguy back? You think
you're special or something?” Cedric spat, venom lacing every word.

Raelyn’s face went ghost-white as she hurried to speak in a low voice, “I didn’t, Cedric-I swear, | really didn’t
“You've got six hours to drag yourself back here. And if you don’t, I'm telling you-this t| won't let you off
easy” Cedric snarled, his threat clear as day.
Raelyn shot up from her seat, her face drained of all color.
No one wanted to be on the receiving end of Cedric’s fury-he’d completely ruined more than a few women
for less.
Back when she hadn’t made it big yet, Raelyn had pulled every trick in the book to get on his good side, hoping
the shortcut would lead her straight to the top.

Now that she had fame, that shortcut felt more like dancing with a ticking bomb. She’d managed to cut ties for
two years, but now that Cedric wanted her back, saying no just wasn’t an option.
She hurried into the car, barely pausing to think. She was supposed to be filming a scene tonight, but with
everything blowing up, she could only call Simone and ask for toff.
Simone sounded annoyed. “You seemed totally fine at lunch, and now you're leaving all of a sudden? The set we
built for your scene this afternoon now has to wait. We're only sticking around for like ten days, so when do you
plan to make it back?”
Raelyn’s lips were parched-she honestly couldn't give a straight answer. Who knew what Cedric might do to her
this time?
Raelyn didn’t even know what had set Cedric off this time-his anger made no sense to her.
“Sorry, Ms. Sinclair,” Raelyn mumbled, her voice thin and apologetic.
Simone’s voice was tight with frustration, but she clearly suspected the reason. “Raelyn, I've been telling you to
break things off with him for ages. You never listen, and now the whole crew has to put filming on hold because
of your .”
Simone knew all about Raelyn’s history with Cedric—and she’d heard all the horror stories about his infamous
exploits. She was well aware of what kind of trouble he could stir up.
Which was exactly why she hated dealing with the Andrade family. Every single one of them was ruthless, and
their nwas pure poison in the business-nobody wanted to get on their bad side.
Raelyn wasn’t about to sic Cedric on lan right now-if she could walk away from Cedric in one piece, she'd count
herself lucky.
Her whole body trembled; she honestly couldn't fathom how things had spun so completely out of control.
