Revenge In A Contract Marriage

"Are you starting to love me?" Liz asked suddenly which made Devan speechless.

"Yes, I think I'm starting to love you. Maybe so..."

The atmosphere between the two was silent. They are both silent. Devan was only able to lean on that shoulder.

Is this the time? Is it time for me to throw this guy out? Aren't you?

Liz turned her head, she was already preparing to throw Devan away, but when her eyes and Devan's eyes suddenly met. There was a strange sense that Liz felt, that sincerity-filled gaze, could it possibly shake the girl's heart?

"If so, can I still be your wife, and keep working?" Liz held Devan's cheeks softly with both hands, those unmoved eyes looking as if hypnotic to Devan.

"But I'm not willing to share you with others, even if it's just acting though. I don't know, seeing you join hands with someone else, I feel like I'm going crazy. So, stop being an artist." Devan did not take his eyes off. He was still staring at the meaning of the girl.

Devan brought his face closer until the heads of the two touched each other. "I'm not gonna throw you out of my life, so you don't have to work. Or you just have to sit on the couch at work, you're free to shop when I'm in a meeting. But stop-"

"You're being selfish, aren't you?"

Yep... Maybe you're not gonna throw me out, 'cause I'm the one who's gonna throw you out, Dev.

"Yes, I'm selfish. You know that, right? CEO Devan Arkasa can do anything."

"My husband, ak-"

"Stop, don't beg. Just follow what my words are, that hard?"

"How about this, I'm going to shoot, but as a maid role, whose character doesn't have a match. Will there be no romantic scenes? Yea?"

Devan raised his head. "Hem."

"But there's a problem."

Devan scrunched his forehead in wonder. "What?"

"I think I should pay considerable compensation for that. But this is a loss the name is indeed, ka-"

"No problem, I'll take responsibility for the compensation. So don't worry."

"If so, I could be your wife, and also work because I love acting. Acting is my life."

"Yes yes, do as you please. Pay whatever they ask."

Liz smiled.

Now there's a story to Anna, and ask her for her opinion on when I'm gonna dump Devan.

"All of you, please come out now! Now too!!" Said Ken who was directly followed by all of them. Naturally, Ken is a top artist whose even name has spread to several countries around.

"What's?  Why is senior Ken screaming and calling my name so rudely?" Liz was a bit confused.

"What does this surrogate mean?! Why aren't you the main character anymore!! It should be you and me!! Why even Maya, and you're just being a figurehead?! I need Firlizy's explanation!" Ken threw in a new contract that Liz had signed this morning, paying huge compensation.

"I'm sorry before, I don't know if senior Ken's objecting to all that. But I also have my own reasons for doing so." Liz tried to calm down, even from her deepest heart, she did feel bad. It had been a long time filming but instead failed to produce and reshoot because he asked for a change of role.

"In addition, Mr. Ken has received a large and appropriate compensation fee, please do not press my lady like this." Nana added, her heart was hurt to see Liz treated so harshly.

Brakk!!

"That too, where did you get that much compensation money from? How could you possibly earn that kind of money?!" Ken's voice was getting louder. But Ken was calmer when Gerry touched his shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Liz, don't misunderstand me either. As an acting partner, Ken just wanted to know why you canceled the role? And even choose the path of loss by paying compensation that is not kidding the amount. Even far more than your acting salary. Ken just felt the money was so dear at such a waste." Gerry also took part.

Ha~ Honestly doesn't care anyway, that's Devan's money anyway. Money is the same as Devan...

"Udah? just that? Kirain how many until you tremble. Don't think about it, today you asked for 10 times as much as I gave."

That's what Devan says, which makes Liz really not concerned about money.

"Liz... Return to the lead role, I'll tell the producer. Oh yeah, is this because of that scene from last night? If you really mind, we're not gonna do anything more than hold hands, okay? So come back as the main role."

"First, I'm sorry senior Ken, I've fussed and ngerepotin. Second, whatever happens to me, my reasons, and where I get the compensation money from, I don't think I need to tell you everything, do I?" Liz was tired as a listener, it was time for her to speak up.

Ken flinched, he wouldn't have expected to get an answer like this from his Liz.

"But we're friends? You said we were friends, right? As a friend, can't you share your problems with me? I'm sure I'll help, whatever the case, I'll make sure to help you, risking anything." Ken's gaze looked very sincere.

Yes, this can be made in soain tool, perfect, he has treasures, acquaintances of many people, and he is famous. What a very good chess piece, and a loss if I take it off.

Liz looked at Ken's eyes intently, yet she smiled. "I'm sorry Ken, I can't solve my problem. So as a friend, please, understand? Can you?"

Ha, but can't be a pawn, he's too sincere about it. The pain of a betrayal and utilization, it can only be felt Devan, and not others, let alone people as sincere as Ken. I'm sorry, I just don't want any benefits...

Ken took a long breath. "I know, this must be a big, big deal. If you don't tell me now, I'll still have time for you. If you need anything, come to me. I'll always be there."

"Thank you, if I need anything, I'll call senior Ken. Just calm down." Liz reassured with her sweet smile, her face was also radiantly happy.

"Then promise me, you'll call me when you're hard?" Ken extended his hand to Liz.

"Yes, I promise!" Liz received the helping hand.
