Chapter 2

I remembered the small wooden box I had inadvertently rummaged through in his house that day, which contained some small objects belonging to a woman, necklaces and hairpins.

There was also a photo of a woman who looked somewhat like me, or rather, I looked somewhat like her.

Her name was written on the back of the photo: Vicky.

This meant not only did we look somewhat similar, but we even had the same nickname.

Then when I thought about he never called me Victoria like everyone else but Vic instead, I felt as if a huge stone was pressing on my heart and I couldn't catch my breath.

How in the world could there be such a coincidence?

How could I have ever imagined that Daniel treating me so well was only because he thought of me as a stand-in for that woman called Vicky?

Fiona was surprised to hear that, "So that Vicky is Mr. Joseph's ex-girlfriend? He couldn't get her out of his mind, that's why he found a woman like her as a substitute?"

"I don't know, maybe." Whatever, it didn’t matter to me whether she was his ex-girlfriend or his dream lover.

"So you didn't even ask him?"

"Did I need to ask? He kept all those worthless little items in an exquisite wooden box, so that woman must be very important to him." Even if I liked him, I still had my self-respect, and it would be embarrassing for me to reveal it all.

My words choked Fiona, because she had to admit that if she were in my shoes, she would think the same way.

"If that was really the case, then he was really good at pretending, fooling all of us."

The more Fiona thought about it, the angrier she became. "I can't believe he's this kind of person. Maybe we shouldn't call him the Best Actor anymore, the Best Scumbag suits him better!'

The next morning, Fiona and I made a good disguise to the private hospital. After a series of examinations, it was already noon.

The doctor said I was six weeks pregnant and the baby was healthy.

I went straight home after leaving the hospital, while Fiona was called to the company by May, saying that there were some matters to discuss before the shooting.

I didn’t sleep well last night with something on my mind. So after I got home, I went straight into bed and was ready to have a good sleep before reading the script.

I had a dream, in which I talked to Daniel for the first time.

At that time, I was just a newly signed actress who was unknown, while Daniel was already very popular.

I played a small role with few scenes in the movie he starred in. I had no scenes with him at all, so it was even difficult to see him.

One day filming a scene with the female lead and second female lead, we, the supporting cast, were required to stand on the sidelines. I accidentally blocked the second female lead, Vera Buck, and she pushed me hard without any warning, causing me to fall heavily to the ground.

I was in a mess.

I wanted to get up and fight back, but my butt was so painful, and both of my palms were scraped by the ground, making it difficult for me to stand up.

Vera had a strong background, and the crew usually avoided messing with her. They dared not show any dissatisfaction with her dominance, let alone standing up for me.

So everyone acted as if they hadn't seen anything and dispersed to do their work.

However, my fall didn’t satisfy Vera. She walked up to me and raised her right leg, ready to kick me again.

I instinctively turned to the side to avoid it, but the imagined pain didn't come. Instead, Vera let out a soft cry, "Ouch!"
