Chloe’s POV:
With her face downcast, Raina told me every horrifying thing she went through in the Hill family’s
residence. I felt so sorry for her, and at the same time angry about what happened to her.
“Raina, I’ll come with you to the film set and terminate your contract with thern!" I took her hand and
walked towards the door.
"Thank you for all your help, Chloe,"Raina replied.
"You’re welcome. I’m your friend! It’s natural for me to want to help you." I waved my hand in dismissal
and gave her a smile.
Then, we hailed a cab to the film set.
"Raina, you finally showed up! Don’t you know how many losses you’ve caused to this set by being
absent from work for days?"
A man approached us, visibly infuriated.
Raina hid behind me and whispered, "He’s the one in charge here."
I stood in front of my friend and glared at the man in charge.
"We’re just here to terminate the contract.Take out Raina’s contract right now!"
"You want to terminate the contract? No freaking way! Mr.Hill called and said that you don’t even need
to wear a mask during the nude scenes, because your face would excite the audience even more," the
man replied.
"What? No!"
Raina shook her head; her eyes were filled with fear.
"The contract states that you must fully cooperate with our requirements!" the man in charge warned as
his face turned grim
"Are you intending to push Raina to a dead end?" I asked sternly.
He scoffed at me; his eyes, filled with mockery.
"Raina signed the contract herself.We didn’t force her or anything.If she wants to terminate the
contract, fine.However, she’ll have to pay a huge fine for the damages incurred."
When I locked eyes with him, I was at a loss for a moment.I wasn’t sure what to do.I tried my best to
stay level-headed, took Raina’s hand, and walked out.
"We’ll need to think about it first."
"Alright.I’ll only give you three days.I won’t wait any longer than that.Raina, if you don’t wanna get sued
by us, think about this carefully and do it fast!"
My heart sank upon hearing that, and I felt anxious.
"Raina, let’s go home and ask my mother for help," I suggested.
"No! Do you think the Moore family would be willing to accept a woman who just filmed an erotic
movie? Chloe, I’m begging you, don’t tell anyone else about this!"
Raina pleaded with red eyes.
The moment I saw the sky high price written on the contract, I frowned with worry.
"Sweetie, I get why you don’t want anyone to know, but face it, we can’t afford to pay for this just the
two of us!"
One hundred million dollars was not a small amount.
To make matters worse, we only had three days to gather the full amount somehow.
"Then what should we do? Chloe, please help me!"
Raina pleaded while holding my hand.
"I’ll figure something out," I said to comfort her.
Upon our return to the Moore mansion, my mother stopped us.
"Raina, are you okay? Are you feeling better?" she asked worriedly.
"She’s feeling better now.She has at least calmed down," I answered.
My mother breathed a sigh of relief and exhorted, "Good to know.What happened to Raina is truly
heartbreaking Chloe, make sure to spend more time with her these days and keep an eye on her.".
"I will." I nodded at her and smiled awkwardly.
"I..uh… I need to borrow some money to help Raina out."
"How much are you looking to borrow?"
After a moment of pondering, I replied, "Around fifty million dollars."
I stared into my mother’s eyes, feeling nervous of her answer.
Truthfully, I wanted to borrow one hundred million dollars from her, but she might doubt where I would
use the money.
If she asked me what I’d use the money for, I might accidentally expose Raina’s secret.
With regards to the remaining fifty million dollars, I figured I’d just think of another way to get the rest of
the money.
My mother gasped in disbelief.
"Chloe, are you crazy? Why do you want to borrow so much money?"
"Mom, Raina is in trouble.She’s in urgent need of money." I explained cautiously.
"I promise I’ll pay you back in the future, Mrs.Moore!" said Raina.
"Why do you want to borrow an insane amount of money" my mother asked, frowning at us.
"I’m in a bit of a bind," Raina replied vaguely.
"I’m sorry, but I gotta be honest with you, Raina.I can’t gather that kind of money in such a short time."
My mother shook her head and sighed.
Raina lowered her gaze and began to cry.
After we went to her room, I tried to comfort her.
"Don’t worry, Raina.My mom really loves me.We’ll figure this out somehow."
Samantha’s POV:
Upon my arrival at my office, I received a call.
The caller introduced herself as Elena, the bodyguard of the Wilson Group’s CEO.
"Dr.Hoffman, I’d like to schedule an appointment with you for Miss Caroline Wilson.She really needs
psychotherapy," Elena said in an anxious tone.
I pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is Miss Wilson exhibiting any specific symptoms?"
"She’s been having nightmares every night since the unfortunate incident.And every time she hears a
loud banging sound, she gets spooked."
"Bring the patient here at eight in the evening."
After the phone call, I said to my assistant, Doris, "Cancel all my appointments today and explain to the
clients that I have some urgent business to attend to tonight."
"What happened?" Doris asked in confusion.
"The fish has been hooked," I said, grinning from ear to ear.
A year ago, I had worked at a hospital as a therapist for a month.
The first time I met Charles Moore was in that very hospital.
His brain was damaged severely and he was in a coma.
At the time, I just thought he was really handsome, but I never took him seriously.
One day, a patient snapped and harassed me during our session.
That man’s heart had been broken by his ex and it resulted to him hating all women.
He almost ended up killing me.
As I waited for my impending doom, Charles appeared out of nowhere.
Without hesitation, he flew in to rescue me from the delusional patient.
In my eyes, he was like a superhero, descending from the sky and pulling me out of the abyss of
desperation.
Aside from the rapid beating of my heart, there wasn’t anything else that I could hear.
When I came to my senses, he had already left.I got obsessed with finding more out about him and
inquired about him everywhere.
Finally, I found out who he was.
It turned out that he was actually Charles Moore, the chairman and president of the Moore Group.
He got hospitalized at the time because his head was severely injured during a plane crash.I went to
his ward, feeling anxious and excited altogether.I really wanted to thank him for saving me.
Sadly, he had already left the hospital.
In order to get closer to him, I decided to open up a psychological clinic in LA.I had been secretly
paying attention to him, collecting every information and piece of news related to him.
And the more I got to know him, the deeper I fell in love with him.
Until gradually, I could no longer extricate myself from my feelings for him.I opened the drawer and took
out a photo album.It was filled with photos of Charles.
