Chapter 1
Maya Heald, a professional stand-in, fell for her employer.
But in the third year, Owen Kecith’s on-again-off-again girlfriend,
Jessica Basom, came back.
Their love-hate relationship got really twisted. To get back at each other, Owen gave Maya a necklace worth millions, while Jessica locked her in a cold storage for a whole day and night.
When Owen set off 99 fireworks for Maya, Jessica whipped her 99
times.
After Owen messed with Maya for days, Jessica made her take birth control pills with every meal and even shoved used condoms in her
mouth.
Thankfully, Maya only had a week left until her contract ended.
She called the agency and asked for a new employer.
A sigh came from the other end. “I’ve long heard that Owen is a cold- blooded tyrant-heartless and emotionless. He only has his sworn enemy Jessica in his heart, but refuses to admit it. Yet you just had to fall for him, knowing it’s impossible, but still taking this job.”
Maya gave a bitter smile. “I don’t like him anymore. Please find me someone else.”
The response came quickly. “It’s possible, but the new employer is a

sickly person. Can you accept that?”
“Fine. Anyone but Owen is okay.”
The moment she hung up, a pair of large hands wrapped around her slender waist, pinning her against the bathroom sink.
Maya startled, hurriedly tucking away her phone, then felt those hands probing deeper.
“Mr. Kecith, I’m not feeling well today.”
But Owen didn’t listen. It seemed like he was mad, and he got rougher with each move.
He covered Maya’s eyes-something he always did because her eyes didn’t look like Jessica’s.
“Jessica…”
In the heat of the moment, Owen couldn’t stop himself from moaning
her name.
Maya froze, and she bit her lower lip so hard.
She knew that Owen’s sudden bursts of desire were always because of
Jessica.
By the time Owen was done, Maya’s lips were cut and bleeding.
He pulled away and threw a pack of birth control pills at her.
“Take them.”

His voice was cold, totally different from the passionate guy he was just a minute ago.
Watching her swallow the pills, he added, “Don’t make a sound next time. Your voice isn’t like hers.”
Maya just nodded quietly. After Owen left, she scrolled to Jessica’s Instagram.
There was a photo of her kissing a new boyfriend, with a big ring on her finger.
No wonder Owen had been so intense today.
Her throat felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. She stumbled to the sink, bent over, and started throwing up really hard.
Sour bile came up, and through her blurry eyes, Maya couldn’t help but remember Owen from three years ago.
They met at a charity event. With just one look, Owen started pursuing her like crazy.
The guy who was rumored to be a cold-blooded tyrant seemed like a whole new person for her, giving her luxury stuff just to see her smile, cooking her hundreds of dishes even though he’d never been in a kitchen before, even risking his life in a race to get back her precious necklace.
Seeing him grinning while holding the necklace, Maya cried even harder, and her heart raced.
She thought she was the happiest woman in the world until the day

she saw Owen’s phone.
The chat history with Jessica was full of their power games.
Every time Jessica posted a photo with some other men, Owen would hook Maya up with some luxury gifts.
When Jessica whipped up meals for other dudes, Owen would dig up new recipes for Maya.
If Jessica cried over a breakup, Owen would go all out in some risky
race.
That’s when Maya got it. She was just a pawn in Owen and Jessica’s little game.
She finally figured out why, during their intimate moments, Owen only let her face away from him.
In the dimly lit room, Owen had sneaked up from behind, his eyes on her phone screen.
His face was a mix of feelings, but he didn’t say a word.
The next day, a professional stand-in company reached out to Maya on Owen’s behalf.
After a lot of thinking, Maya agreed to the three-year deal.
She wanted to stick around, to take Jessica’s place in his heart.
But for three whole years, no matter how hard she tried to get close to him, Owen kept his distance.

The night Jessica came back to the country, Owen went wild with Maya all night, holding her and moaning “Jessica” over and over again.
They used up a whole box of condoms that night.
Maya finally got it. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get to his
heart.
Leaning against the wall, she washed away all traces of Owen, and her eyes were a little red.
Once he was completely gone from her, Maya wiped away her tears.
It didn’t matter; she’d be leaving soon.
She was done playing this stand-in game.
As she stepped out downstairs, a sack was thrown over her head. Everything went black.
When she opened her eyes again, Jessica was sitting in front of her, and 99 bottles of alcohol lay out on the floor.
Jessica looked at the red marks all over Maya’s body and smirked.
“I just posted a photo, and he lost it on you. He really can’t stay calm.
“Since that’s how it is, drink all these. I want to see his reaction.”
After she spoke, she told the bodyguard next to her, “Make her drink.”
