Chapter 316 Epilogue: Kayla and Calvin V
Kayla lay in bed, Calvin’s furious face flashing through her mind as she took a deep breath.

The last time she saw him like that was during her second TV
drama.
When Kayla first arrived in the U.S., she signed with a relatively unknown talent agency.
The agency itself was small, so naturally, it couldn’t offer her any high–profile opportunities.
Back then, through a senior actor she met on her first project, she got introductions to various auditions.
When she first started dating Calvin, she refused to let him chauffeur her around, afraid it would feel like she was being kept.
She just wanted a simple relationship with Calvin. Her attraction was pure–she liked his looks, and he wasn’t bad in bed either.
She never wanted money to complicate things between them. 1/6

For her second TV drama, she finally landed a supporting female role. Before signing the contract, the producer invited the main and supporting cast to dinner.
It was Kayla’s first time dining with a producer, and she was unaware of the unspoken rules.
She hadn’t brought her agent–more accurately, her agent didn’t think she was worth the effort.
At first, the dinner was normal. But then, the producer’s hands grew bolder.
Just as his wandering fingers reached for her thigh, Kayla grabbed a glass of wine and poured it over his toupee.
“Kayla! Have you lost your mind?”
Kayla glared, holding her breath. “Sir, behave yourself!”
The producer, Carl Thomas, slammed his soaked wig onto the table. “Everyone, out!”
No one spoke up for Kayla. They all obediently filed out of the private room.
Kayla gripped her phone, about to call the police, when he snatched it and hurled it to the floor.

“You pretentious bitch! Did you really think you’d get the role without sleeping with me?”
A red handprint bloomed on her cheek, but she refused to back down, standing tall. “Carl, if you lay a finger on me, I’ll tear a chunk of flesh from you before I die!”
“Go ahead and scream. Let’s see who’ll help you. After I’m done, I’ll even call the police for you! Kayla, you’re so naive.”
Kayla retreated step by step, her eyes landing on a vase. Without hesitation, she grabbed it and smashed it over Carl’s head.
Dazed, blood streaming from his temple, Carl lunged at her, his grubby hands tearing at her clothes.
“You bitch! I’ll strip you naked, take photos, and post them online. Let’s see how you’ll survive in this industry after that!”
Just as Kayla was on the verge of despair, Calvin kicked the door open.
Like tonight, he pinned the creep to the ground and beat him. until his breath grew faint before others pulled him away.
From then on, Calvin marked Kayla as his.
3/6
And that was the moment Kayla truly fell for him.

When she woke the next morning, her mind was calm after a dreamless night.
It’s all in the past now.

“Kayla, I heard from Bruno’s father that you didn’t meet him yesterday?” Matilda probed cautiously.
The mere thought that Bruno was Calvin’s best friend made Kayla’s chest tighten.
“Mom, I don’t think we’re compatible. Let’s just drop it.”
“How would you know if you haven’t even met him? You used to chase after him all the time as a kid–don’t you remember?”
Kayla would rather forget.
She sighed helplessly, “Mom, that was ages ago, I was barely five.”
“And that’s exactly what makes it childhood sweethearts!”
Mark had already left for work, or Kayla would’ve begged him 476

to intervene.
“Fine, I’ve sent you the address. Go to this restaurant. Be good -don’t worry your grandfather.”
Kayla had no choice.
Why are they forcing me into this? Am I going to die if I don’t date someone?
*****
Bruno was equally frustrated.
“Grandpa, I’m begging you. I’m not interested in Kayla. Stop pushing me, alright?”
Even if I am, do I even have a choice?
Going on a date with Calvin’s ex? Do I have a death wish?
“I don’t care if you’re interested or not–you’re going! If you’re late again, all your cards get frozen tonight. See how you’ll
survive then!”
Grudgingly, Bruno arrived at the restaurant, fulfilling his grandfather’s orders.
5/6.
Kayla was already there when he arrived.

“Hey, Kayla.” Bruno greeted awkwardly.
Kayla smiled faintly, her tone polite but distant, “Hello.”
Bruno cleared his throat. “I know the situation, so let’s just go through the motions, yeah?”
Kayla nodded. “Of course. Don’t worry–I’ll tell my family I’m not interested.”
Bruno exhaled in relief. “Good. Sorry about last night. That guy’s barely alive now.”
Kayla frowned. “He couldn’t take a beating?”
Bruno pressed his lips together.
“Couldn’t take a beating” is an understatement.
