Chapter 15
Mary was the real star of the celebration party.
At 10-30, she got a check–in call from Fenella and promised to video chat with her with Osric.
After excusing herself for a quick shower, she called for a ride and changed her outfit again while waiting for the car. Then, she rushed over to the
Hale villa
When she hopped out of the car, her makeup was gone, her glasses were on, and she’d traded her glamorous look for a comfy plaid shirt that hid her figure.
Mary, who was shining on stage, had transformed back into Osnic’s hancée, Amaris.
As she walked into the villa, she noticed that Osric was looking pretty tense and ready to go searching for her. They bumped into each other, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol- one spicy, one sweet,
Seeing her back so soon, he grabbed her wrist and snapped, “Oh, so you decided to come back? Amaris, you ditched the job I set up for you just to drink with a bunch of shady guys?”
Just because she smelled good didn’t mean he was going to let her slide on this
‘Drinking with a bunch of shady guys? Amaris was confused. But then she thought about how Liam and the other judges took turns and toasted her to curry favor her. Those guys were indeed shady.
But then again, it had nothing to do with Osric
“Drinking is my choice, and I’m not sold to you. I want some privacy in my lifer” she snapped back.
“You’re my fiancée now! While we’re under this arrangement, you need to cooperate and stay clean!”
“Excuse me? Excuse me? Who are you calling not clean? He had the nerve to accuse her when he was openly checking out Ismay on the show set “Quit that ridiculous job!”
Amaris was taken aback and pushed his hand away. “What job? I haven’t even found one yet!”
He knew it! He knew she was too silly to get a job.
“But I swear I’ll keep looking tomorrow. She brushed him off, headed upstairs, and jumped on the video chat.
“Fenella picked up the call in no time. As soon as she saw Amaris lounging on the big fluffy bed, she teased, “Hey, Amaris, done showering? But seriously, why are you still in that plaid shirt Let Oxric buy you some cute pajamas or dresses! You can totally rock the sexy look in private. Osric
will love it!”
Osric just walked in and felt a shiver run down his spine when he heard his grandmother praising Amaris for her beauty and suggesting she should seduce him.
“Grandma, you’re such a bad influence,” he teased, lazily sinking back into the oversized bed.
The fact that Amaris had offered to video chat with Fenella had really grown on him, so even though she was a bit tipsy, it didn’t bother him that much now.
As he got closer, Amaris quickly dodged to the side. Still, Ouric playfully pulled her back, almost sending her crashing into him
“Grandma, I’m still not married to Osric yet, Amaris said, trying to hide her embarrassment-
Over on the other end of the video call. Fenella’s face lit up with a smile as she watched the two of them. “Right I forgot you’re such a catch and way better than those vixens outside!”
Oric thought, “Grandma must be joking. If she knew Amaris just came back from a party with guys..
After chatting with Fenella for a bit longer, Amaris finally ended the call and let out a sigh of relief
She sank onto her big fluffy bed and watched as Osric casually sprawled out beside her. Her eyes widened, “You need to get out. She pointed toward the door, trying to sound serious.
Oric just smirked, his eyes half–closed as he started unbuttoning his shirt with one hand. One, two, three

The way he moved was almost teasing, and Amaris felt her throat go dry.
