Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 63: Wrapping Up ’Immortal Demon Tribulation

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Wrapping Up ’Immortal Demon Tribulation

The moment the director yelled "Cut!", Samuel Hughes immediately pushed the woman out of his arms and stood up, as if Riley Perry were some kind of plague he didn’t want to touch in the slightest.

The crew was already used to it. Top Actor Hughes acted the same way even with Best Actress Sherman. His supposed misogyny was a well-known secret.

However, only the people involved knew what was really going on.

In the entire series of *Immortal Demon Tribulation*, the only scene where Immortal Lord Caelus had physical contact with the second female lead was when Jonah Ingram, under the alias Jade Sullivan, died taking a sword for him. It was because she died in Immortal Lord Caelus’s arms that Jonah Ingram delivered her final line: "I... have no regrets."

To love someone so deeply that your only wish is to die for them, and in their arms... the Princess of the Demon Realm was just a woman hopelessly in love.

According to the script, the two were supposed to hold each other and gaze into each other’s eyes for several seconds. During that time, Samuel Hughes got hard. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He couldn’t control himself. The woman in his arms was too fragrant, too soft. He just couldn’t hold back.

He was mortified when he felt his body’s reaction. But everyone was watching, and he was afraid the same thing would happen if they had to do another take. So, he could only grit his teeth and get through the scene.

That was why he’d helped her up so quickly after the director called cut.

He didn’t want Riley Perry to laugh at him.

After all, they’d already had one rather unpleasant encounter where Riley Perry had seen him completely naked.

Samuel Hughes hurried back to his private dressing room. Meanwhile, a few people gathered around Riley Perry. Director Miles handed her a big red envelope. "Excellent performance! Keep up the great work. When our show airs, you’re definitely going to be even more famous!"

Director Miles spoke with great certainty, and many people nearby heard him. Riley Perry happily accepted the red envelope and thanked him. "That’s only because you’re such a great teacher, Director. I’ve learned so much on this set. I hope I’ll have the chance to work with you again in the future, Director Miles."

Director Miles smiled. "I hope so, too."

But his hopes didn’t matter. He had originally wanted to recommend Riley Perry to Old Chenning’s production. The girl genuinely had talent, and her action scenes were even better. Most importantly, she was low-maintenance. She hadn’t been late once during her entire time on set and was always serious and eager to learn while working. A kid like that deserved a little extra help.

But someone had already put in a word to have her blacklisted. *Sigh.* He was just an ordinary guy trying to make a living; he didn’t have the power to go up against the money.

Fortunately, she was signed with Stardust. If this show became a hit, then no one would be able to blacklist her, even if they tried.

Director Miles had wanted to throw Riley Perry a wrap party, but the entire show was scheduled to finish filming in a few more days. After that, it had to be edited, submitted for review, and rushed to meet the release schedule. The timeline was tight and the workload was heavy, so he just gave her a large red envelope and skipped everything else.

That afternoon, Riley Perry went over to the set of *Starfire* to reshoot the scenes she had previously filmed with Raymond Warren.

Luckily, there were only a few scenes in total. She was a pro at memorizing her lines, and the actor replacing Raymond Warren was also quite skilled. They managed to finish reshooting everything in half a day and part of the evening.

The next morning, Riley Perry went to the mall, bought some gifts for her family, and had them shipped home. At noon, she boarded a flight to Dragonspire.

At 6:40 in the evening, Cole Sinclair was still working overtime at the office. Riley Perry had Samson Sinclair call him while she listened in.

Samson Sinclair was obedient and made the call right away.

Lately, President Sinclair and Samson Sinclair had been in contact much more frequently, so he picked up immediately when he saw who was calling.

"Young Master, Miss Perry sent a special gift to the apartment today. It requires your personal signature to receive. Are you able to come back now?"

Cole Sinclair: "Understood."

He still had some work to finish, but Cole Sinclair stood up without hesitation, packed up his documents and laptop, grabbed his coat, and headed out. On his way down, his mind was completely occupied with what Riley Perry could have sent him this time.

He didn’t notice how soft the expression on his usually cold face had become, nor did he realize how urgently he wanted to get home.

「The Imperial Crest Apartments.」

After getting out of the car, Cole Sinclair took the elevator upstairs, used his fingerprint to enter the apartment, and shut the door behind him. He then pressed the light switch by the entrance, but the lights didn’t turn on.

Just then, the door to Riley Perry’s room opened, spilling a sliver of light into the darkness. A figure appeared in the doorway, silhouetted against it.

She was wearing a two-piece, crimson-red sleepwear set. The outer layer was a long, flowing robe of sheer gauze, while the inner layer was a knee-length slip dress. The fabric was so transparent that her shadow was cast upon the wall. A gentle breeze lifted the gossamer of her robe, revealing her stunning figure in a way that was both hazy and dreamlike.

One glance was all it took for Cole Sinclair to feel a rush of heat to his head. She wasn’t wearing a bra!

Riley Perry leaned against the doorframe, one leg bent back with the sole of her foot resting on the wall. Her alluring eyes sparkled as she shot a flirtatious look in Cole Sinclair’s direction. "Mr. Sinclair, why are you still standing over there? Aren’t you going to come and unwrap your exclusive gift?"

In the dim space, Cole Sinclair’s gaze darkened, and within that darkness, a spark of fire ignited—the fire of desire!

’So, his gift for today was this little temptress before him!’

’This was the best gift he had ever received! Because she was giving herself to him!’

’As for why she was here, or when she’d gotten back? None of that mattered!’

’Right now, he was going to unwrap his gift!’

Without even changing his shoes, the cool and distant man roughly yanked at his tie. He tossed his briefcase onto the shoe cabinet and then strode toward the little temptress who had completely bewitched him!

...

That night, the cold man completely shed his disguise. They hadn’t seen each other in over a month, and he had a lot of pent-up energy to release. The two of them went at it all night long, trying out every corner of the apartment.

At six in the morning, he finally carried Riley Perry from the bathroom back to the large bed.

"Mr. Sinclair, my back is so sore~"

Cole Sinclair’s eyes darkened. ’She was being coy again.’ He knew she was fully aware that he couldn’t resist her when she acted like this. However, he really couldn’t touch her again today. He had checked on her down there when they were in the shower... and had already applied some ointment for her.

’Such a delicate personality, and her body was just as delicate. She really couldn’t take much...’

Despite his thoughts, he reached out, turned her over, and began massaging her lower back with his large hands.

Riley Perry buried her head in the pillow, her voice muffled. "That feels so good~ Just like that, don’t stop..." A moment later, she was asleep!

Cole Sinclair let out an exasperated laugh. ’This woman is so used to ordering me around. It’s one thing to order me around, but to fall asleep while I’m taking care of her? She actually fell asleep!’

’But, seeing as he was quite satisfied with his gift, he decided he wouldn’t hold it against her.’

He massaged her for a little longer. Once he was sure she was sound asleep, he carefully lifted her, turned her onto her side, and pulled her into his arms before drifting off to sleep himself.

...

Riley Perry was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She was alone in the bed. Groping for her phone on the nightstand, she glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered. "Nana~"
