Chapter 1386
But for money and gain, she chose to sell her body and soul. Whenever her thoughts started to drift, Steven would
wrap her tightly in his strong arms, his deep and powerful voice whispering in her ear, “Daniela.”
Daniela? Who was that?
She didn’t get it. But his words pulled her back to reality.
She wasn’t sure if he was calling someone else’s name, or saying something else. She opened her eyes, trying to
find answers from him.
But he put his hand over her eyes. Her sight blocked, all she could sense was his movements becoming more
intense, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

When she woke up again, it was already the next afternoon. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the man sitting
neatly on the sofa by the window, not looking back, just saying, “Check this contract, sign it if there’s no problem.”
She withdrew her gaze, only then noticing a contract on the bedside table. The title of the contract was, Marriage
Agreement.
The document was very thick, and when she glanced at it, she believed that it was about thirty pages long. It would
take quite a while to read it all.
The man spoke again, “Just look at the key points on the first two pages, no need to read the rest.”
She opened the document and saw the key points he was talking about.
A contract marriage, for a period of five years, he would pay her a sum of money, help her break into the
entertainment industry, etc., and she couldn’t reveal their relationship to the public.
For the sake of money and a chance to establish herself in the entertainment industry, she picked up the pen and
signed her name, also pressing her fingerprint onto the document.
“I’ve deposited the money into your bank account. As for the resources you want, someone will contact you.” He
got up and walked towards her, his gaze coldly sweeping over her. “I don’t care what your private life was like
before, but when you’re with me, you need to keep it clean. I don’t want to touch anything dirty.”
With that he left.
After he left, the man with the black-framed glasses who had brought her the night before appeared again. The
man was more polite this time, and he introduced himself, “Ms. Hannah, I’m President Dixon’s assistant, Rick. I’ll
take you to collect your marriage certificate with President Dixon first, then take you to your new residence.”
That day, she met Steven’s assistant, Rick, and amidst the chaos, she and Steven obtained a marriage certificate,
officially becoming his wife.

That day, she moved into the house where she would later live with Steven.
Also that day, she learned from Rick that Steven had called her the night before because his childhood sweetheart
had abandoned him and run off abroad with another man. Steven had accidentally seen her on a film set and
thought she looked a lot like his sweetheart, so he had Rick bring her to his room.
On the second day they met, when Steven probably didn’t even know her name, she knew that his heart was with
another girl. She knew she was just a stand-in. But still, without hesitation, she carved him deep into her heart.
She liked his focus when he was working, his passion when he desired her, and the fresh scent of him. She believed
that they were already a married couple, and as long as she put in a little more effort, she could make him forget
his old love and fall in love with her. And they could live happily ever after.
But after the passion, a single sentence from him brought her crashing back to reality, “Hannah, your name is
Hannah, right?”
