Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Even Theresa, naive as she was, realized what was happening now.

Everything that evening was a setup!

Henri had come for her!

Biting her lip, Theresa struggled to contain the surge of panic within her.

Theresa still held the last glimmer of hope, hoping to stop Henri.

She said, “Henri, you’re a celebrated actor. Have you considered the impact this could have on your career if it got out?” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

A sinister smile appeared on Henri’s face. “A mutual affair is hardly scandalous. Oh, Rose, you’re so inexperienced. In our world, on–set romances are mundane. Even if you speak out, who will they believe? A renowned actor or a newcomer trying to seduce him? Go ahead and tell, but I assure you, you’ll end up worse off than me.”

Theresa’s eyes flickered with understanding.

Henri’s confidence suggested this wasn’t his first time doing this.

With his smooth demeanor, he must have preyed on many.

Yet, his reputation in the entertainment industry remained untarnished.

What did that imply?

No one had exposed him, or perhaps, no one dared to.

Feeling her strength ebbing away, Theresa slumped against the wall, her legs giving way.

Henri, though he had drunk, seemed to have taken some antidote beforehand. His actions were unhindered.

“Come now, don’t look so glum. I’m here to show you a good time, not to harm you,” Henri said with a twisted smile, approaching the powerless Theresa.

He eyed Theresa, a predator savoring his prize.

This was a conquest he had long craved, and now it was within his grasp.

Theresa, seeing the malice in his face, felt a glimmer of despair.

Was there no escape from this nightmare?

Henri eagerly advanced, grasping Theresa’s shoulder.

Theresa wanted to resist, but she was utterly drained.

As Henri’s face drew closer, Theresa closed her eyes in agony.

However, in the next moment.

Suddenly, a loud banging noise filled the room, followed by a muffled groan.

Dazed, Theresa opened her eyes to see Henri collapsing towards her.

She was about to scream when someone forcefully pushed Henri aside and looked at her anxiously, “Theresa, are you alright?”

Theresa stared at the man who had appeared out of nowhere.

Thomas.

It was Thomas.

How did he end up here?

And why was he calling her Theresa?

Theresa’s emotions were a complex mix. “You recognized me?”

Realizing his slip–up in the heat of the moment, Thomas pressed his lips together and said, “Even though your appearance and voice have changed, you’re still the same person. There are so many similarities, it would be hard to ignore them.”

Theresa forced a smile, “Is that so?”

Thomas, avoiding Theresa’s overly flushed face, quickly said, “I’ll deal with this guy first. Be careful.”

Thomas then dragged Henri, who he had knocked unconscious, out of the room.

Theresa watched his retreating back, silently battling the growing longing in her heart.

Thomas took Henri to an empty room.

He looked at Henri with disgust. He poured a bucket of cold water over the unconscious man.

“Who?” Henri jolted awake, yelling.

Seeing Thomas, his face changed. “It was you! You knocked me out!”

“Yes, it was me,” Thomas replied calmly.

“You, just a lowly stagehand, dare to do this to me? Do you believe that I can have you blacklisted in this industry with just one word?” Henri said arrogantly.

Thomas had been helping around the set, so Henri mistook him for a stagehand.

“Oh?” Thomas raised an eyebrow.

Mistaking Thomas’s reaction for fear, Henri smirked. “If you’re smart, you’ll take me back to Rose’s room now and keep quiet about this. Do that, and i won’t only spare you, but I’ll introduce you to some new productions. You’re good–looking; maybe you’ll get a few minor roles and won’t have to work as a stagehand anymore.”

Thomas gave him an emotionless glance and then threw a punch, hitting Henri in the face.

Henri was caught off guard and was punched in the face.

“Henri looked at him in shock and anger.

Silently, Thomas delivered punch after punch to Henri’s face, each blow fierce and precise.

As a doctor, Thomas knew the human body well.

Every single one of his strikes was ruthless and accurate.

Initially, Henri tried to resist.

But he soon ended up writhing on the floor.

After venting his anger, Thomas stripped Henri down to his underwear and tied him up with a rope.

Henri’s face tumed pale. “What… what are you going to do?”

Thomas didn’t answer. He pulled out his phone and snapped a bunch of photos of Henri.

Then showed them to Henri as a threat.

“Quit the play tomorrow, or these photos will be everywhere overnight. I’ve also found the waiter who spiked Rose’s drink. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll send you straight to jail.”

Henri’s complexion shifted slightly. “You can’t possibly have any evidence!”

“You can gamble your acting career on that,” Thomas said calmly.

Henri’s face darkened.

Today, Thomas came at the right time.

Could it be that he really had some evidence?

He had been unscrupulous before because the victim had no evidence, but if there was…

Biting his lip, Henri agreed, “Fine, I’ll quit. But you must delete those photos from your phone.”

Thomas simply pocketed his phone. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep them safe for you.”

After that, he left the room directly.

At first, Henri was relieved, but soon he screamed.

“Hey, untie my rope.”

“The heating in the room is off. Are you trying to freeze me to death?”

“Stop! Stop right there.”

What answered him was the sound of a heavy door closing.

“Thomas!” Henri’s voice pierced into the sky.

After leaving the room and ignoring Henri’s screams for release, Thomas hurried back to Theresa’s room, concerned about her condition.

Theresa was in a bad state.

She sat dazedly in the corner, her entire body unnaturally flushed.

Thomas’s heart tightened as he approached her. “Theresa…”

Before he could say more.

Theresa suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him without hesitation.

Thomas’s pupils dilated in shock.

He tried to push Theresa away. “Theresa, calm down. I’m going to get you a cold shower right now.”

But Theresa shook her head, her body entwining around him like a serpent.
