"Don't forget," Olivia said coldly, "I already have someone I love. And we've made up. We're getting married soon. Whatever was between us—it should end now."
Aiden let out a low, mocking laugh. "End? Olivia, when you got together with me, it was only to make yourself famous and crush Sophia under your heel. And now you're talking about ending things? You really think it's that simple?
"I do like you—a lot, actually—but if you're serious about cutting ties, fine. I only have one condition: sleep with me ten more times."
Olivia froze, disbelief flashing across her face. "What did you just say? Ten times?"
"Yeah," he said casually. "I invested money in you, didn't I? I pulled strings, made calls, got you all those connections. You think you can just walk away now, like none of that happened?
"Without me, you wouldn't have landed that variety show, let alone the new drama I just lined up for you. The role's perfect for you—it'll put you right back in the spotlight."
