My Movie Star Ex-Girlfriend

As Hardy had already said goodbye, Simon dropped the call immediately and went to Google to do what his brother told him to. The moment he searched for it, his phone’s screen was immediately flooded with Caroline’s shot for CR Jewelry.

One of the images was an extreme close-up shot where Caroline was wearing a wedding dress and a wedding ring. With that shot, her exquisite facial features and alluring eyes were highlighted by her heavy makeup, intensifying her visual impact.

Somehow, Simon found the temperature rising, so he loosened his collar irritably to cool himself down. But then he felt his member jolted, so his eyes were automatically drawn into it.

He was much absorbed with Caroline’s images. Simon didn’t notice that they had already arrived at their residence.

Melvin, who was engrossed with his phone, also noticed that the car had stopped. Raising his head to face Simon, he asked, “Are we here? The gate...”

However, he froze right away the moment he saw Simon looking odd.

Simon, on the other hand, quickly pulled his act together and locked his phone screen, preventing Melvin from having a glimpse of what he was admiring.

Even so, Melvin still caught sight of his phone screen, and it was an image of a pretty woman, but it was not enough to recognize who it was.

“Just drop me here. I’ll get in myself,” Simon said, but the hoarseness of his voice was too evident for Melvin and even the driver not to know what was going on with him. The driver did as was instructed and pulled over just in front of Simon’s place. But before Simon got off the car, Melvin remarked, “Just get yourself a girlfriend already. Women’s pictures online won’t help you. You’re already thirty years old and have a strong desire...”

Simon didn’t let Melvin finish his sentence and roared, “Back off.” He then slammed the door shut, making Melvin chuckle.

As Simon stepped out of the car, he slid his phone into his pocket and strode to his apartment, taking deep breaths one after the other to try to cool himself down.

As soon as he entered, he put on slippers and directly headed to the bathroom.

He spent nearly 40 minutes inside to get rid of the heat in his body before wrapping himself in his bathrobe. He then stood in front of the mirror, his hands on the sink, and stared at himself in the mirror. His hair was drenched, water trickling down his chin and dropping to the floor. His eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was partially open, gasping for air.

He remained in that position for a long time, contemplating his feelings for Caroline. Soon after, he punched the mirror, cracking it and causing his fist to bleed.

He lost control of himself and cursed loudly in the bathroom as he couldn’t fathom what was wrong with his body and mind.

In the end, the five years had been in vain because his desire for her had not faded even a bit.

Meanwhile, Jana was watching Caroline lying in her car, having a nightmare while sleep-talking. Carolina kept murmuring something in her sleep and contorting her face as if she was tormented in her dreams.

“Don’t touch him... I won’t let you off the hook… I hate you… Go to hell!” Carolina muttered, her head turning sideways and tears streaming down her cheeks.

Seeing Caroline crying while dreaming, Jana shook the latter’s shoulders to awake her.

“Caroline, Caroline? Wake up,” Jana called out, waking Caroline up.

Caroline got up a minute later, but her deep eyes were filled with confusion, which rarely appeared.

Her eyes also welled up with tears, making Jana worried.

She had just started being Caroline’s agent, but ever since, Caroline’s gorgeous face had never failed to amaze her. That was also why the media labeled the rising star “an incredible beauty,” because even Jana, who was also a woman, couldn’t resist Caroline’s charm.

Caroline only came to when she saw her agent and wiped the tears from her face when she felt something cold on her face.

Jana handed her a tissue before explaining, “You had a bad dream. You kept saying things like, ‘do not touch him,’ ‘I hate you,’ ‘go to hell,’ and so on. You were also crying earlier, so I woke you up.”

“I see,” Caroline only replied, looking down.

Worried, Jana tried to look Caroline in the eyes and asked, “What did you dream about? Have you recently been stressed?”

Refusing to discuss her dream, Caroline shook her head and replied, “No, nothing.”

Then she turned around and gazed out the window, taking in the scenery while ruminating on her dream.

‘Nightmares indeed not only appear in dreams; they also hunt one even after one wakes up,’ Caroline realized.

These past few years, she had frequently been hunted by past memories when pressure overwhelmed her. But she hadn’t had one in the previous six months, so she assumed she’d gotten over it. Unexpectedly, that nightmare reoccurred again, bringing back her anxiety.

‘Did Simon trigger it?’ she wondered, as she could only think of him as its cause.

Thinking of Simon, a picture of him looking at her earlier flashed through her mind. Recalling it, an ironic chuckle escaped from her mouth.

He used to be very gentle when he spoke to her. But now, he looked at her with dagger-like eyes, ready to stab her to death. He must have hated her so much after the event that even five years couldn’t wash it away.
