“Dad, I agree to move to Haven State for the arranged marriage. Let’s do it quickly before I change my mind.”
Her father, Joe Stone, replied instantly. “Good girl, I’ll have it sorted within a month at most!”
Tara Stone quietly wiped away her tears and put down her phone.
An hour earlier, she had been kissed so passionately by Leo that soft moans escaped her lips.
Inside the luxury car, the soundproof partition was raised, ensuring the driver couldn’t hear what was happening in the backseat.
Leo’s lips pressed against Tara’s, prying them open.
Tara loved him deeply, recklessly, to the point of losing herself completely.
They had been together for three years and had tried everything, everywhere. Doing it in the car had become routine.
Leo’s phone rang.
The interruption darkened his expression, but when he glanced at the caller ID, he still answered.
Tara caught a glimpse of the name on the screen. It was a foreign name in Genovian, a rare language that few people in the country understood.
Leo muttered coldly, “Calling at a time like this?”
The person on the other end laughed. “What’s up? Busy with something important?”
Leo gripped Tara’s slender waist, signaling her to stay still. His voice was calm and lazy. “If you already know, get to the point.”
The caller chuckled. “How much does she resemble Nina Lucas?”
Leo casually ran his fingers over Tara’s delicate face. “About seventy percent similar.”
The man laughed and swore. “You’ve got skills. What’s so good about her?”
Leo kissed Tara’s neck, his tone indifferent. “She’s pure, like an obedient little poodle. Her eyes are clear but she is naive.”
The man’s breathing grew heavier.
Leo frowned, annoyed. “Stop being a pervert. If you don’t get to the point, I’m hanging up.”
The man hurriedly said, “Nina’s flight is tomorrow. She’s coming back to restart her career!”
Leo froze, his breathing heavy. “Really?”
“Yeah, she wants to keep it low-key, but I thought I’d give you a heads-up. Nice of me, right? Your first love, your ‘one true love,’ is back. Think you’ll finally ditch the stand-in? What if she won’t leave you?”
