Ross Oakley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment they started filming, he had been an enigma—one moment the picture of professionalism, the next, a walking temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried himself with effortless confidence, his every movement calculated yet natural. He knew how to work a camera, how to control a scene, and, more dangerously, how to control people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breakup scene! Take one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera rolled, and Nicole took a deep breath, willing herself into character. She was supposed to be devastated, heartbroken, pushing away the man she once loved. But Ross made it difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, dark and intense, locked onto hers, and his voice, deep and dripping with emotion, sent an involuntary shiver down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His touch was featherlight yet deliberate, his fingertips grazing her arm as he pleaded for her to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicole's breath hitched—not because of the script, but because of the very real, undeniable pull between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see it in the way her pupils dilated, in the way her chest rose and fell just a little too quickly. He could smell it, that intoxicating scent of her body reacting to his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was subtle, but he had spent enough time around women to know when one was losing herself in him. And Nicole was losing herself, whether she realized it or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all part of his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sooner or later, she would be in his bed, moaning his name, clinging to him in a way no script could ever dictate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought alone sent a surge of satisfaction through him, and though he kept his expression controlled, a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The days bled into weeks, then months. With each passing scene, the shift in Nicole became more evident—not just to Ross, but to everyone around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was subtle. She lingered after takes, laughing a little too much at his jokes, finding excuses to be near him even when the cameras weren't rolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it became more obvious—small gestures that didn't go unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought him coffee without being asked, fussed over his appearance before scenes, and looked at him with an admiration that bordered on worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk. Another goddess about to fall for Ross Oakley,\" one of the crew members muttered under their breath, watching from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I don't get it,\" another chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She was all about professionalism at first, and now? She's practically fawning over him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't see the appeal,\" someone scoffed. \"What do women even see in him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's rich, tall, ridiculously charismatic,\" came the inevitable response. \"And a damn good actor. Oh, and did I mention he's rich? Like, billionaire rich?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned their heads just in time to see Nicole handing Ross a bottle of water and a protein bar during a break. He accepted it with a lazy smile, murmuring something in that low, husky voice of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he said made her blush, a soft giggle slipping from her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her eyes could take shape, they would've been glowing hearts by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross barely had to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was already his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the best part? She didn't even realize it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One month later, the final scene of the movie was finally filmed. It was a grand celebration, a wedding finale that required over a hundred extras to fill the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter, music, and the joyful hum of the crowd created an almost magical atmosphere. It felt real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may now kiss the bride,\" the officiant, dressed in ceremonial robes, declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross and Nicole turned to each other, their roles slipping into place effortlessly. He cupped her face gently, his eyes searching hers for just a moment before their lips met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kiss was tender yet passionate, carrying the weight of every emotion their characters had endured throughout the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience within the scene erupted into cheers and adoring sighs, their applause echoing through the grand set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nicole barely heard them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in that moment, she wasn't sure where the acting ended and reality began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross's lips were warm, familiar, and intoxicating. The way he held her, the way he deepened the kiss just slightly before pulling away, left her breathless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at him, her heart hammering in her chest, and for the briefest moment, she swore she saw something in his eyes—something unspoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut! That's a wrap! Great job, everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director's voice shattered the spell, and the set instantly erupted into celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers and applause filled the space as the cast and crew embraced one another, relieved and exhilarated to have completed such a demanding project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter rang out as drinks were passed around, and the once-fictional wedding quickly transformed into a genuine party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicole tried to join in, tried to smile as everyone clinked their glasses and toasted to their success, but she couldn't shake the feeling in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never felt this way before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it terrified her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the party swirled around her, she found herself drawn to Ross. He stood in the midst of a small group, effortlessly charming everyone with his usual confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when his gaze met hers across the room, something in his expression changed—just for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated, then walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could even say a word, the tears welled up, unbidden and unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nicole felt so much emotions right now and mixed ones that she did not know how to handle them all at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, what's wrong?\" Ross asked, his brow furrowing in confusion as she stood there, tears streaming down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-09T06:18:57.662Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d663f3959d1d3bf91cfe0d9e5b662833cb78efaf37747083c0ae4f3d185b330","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-577","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-575",1212,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevil-mc-s-ntr-harem-cover.jpg"]
