Kiss me tender

The awful things made her family desperate and she didn't dare to tell her parents about her experience. She didn't dare to make
them worry about her. She was afraid that they would break down.
Facing many setbacks, she chose to ignore herself, her own bad news, and swallow all of her grievances. Later when there was
no medical fee to cure her father's feet, she ran around. Because she offended Colin, she was banned and could not make
money. She didn't know where to earn a great deal of money. In the end, desperately, she had to seek Colin for a help.
Melissa would never forget the day when she knelt in front of Colin, begging for his forgiveness and help. At that time, she would
sacrifice both her shame and self-esteem. She would beg him for help!
Colin insulted her. In order to cure her father, she had endured all kinds of humiliation. She didn't care about the so-called
innocence and dignity at all! In the end, she was even willing to answer Colin's request that she wanted to be his mistress.
At that time, she must be crazy. There was only one persistent belief in her heart. The belief was to cure her father's disease and
she would not care about anything else except for that. She was willing to surrender Colin and made him revenge on her for the
rest of her life. She knew that Colin wouldn't let her go, because she had offended him so much. And he was such a wicked and
insidious man. But there was nothing else she could do, only in this way could she save her father.
In this way, she signed a five-year contract as Colin's mistress and she wouldn't revolt him in the past five years. The only thing
Colin would do was that he would take good care of her family and protect them from being retaliated. Also, he must guarantee
all the medical expenses of her father.
Having endured there for five years, Melissa once couldn't stand the hardship. She tried to run away several times. But she was
caught by Colin. Besides, her parents were at home, so she couldn't leave them alone, or they would be forced to commit
murder by Colin. And she finally endured it.
She had changed a lot over the past five years. In short, she was no longer the innocent and shaky woman she used to be. She
had already changed into another woman! She liked smoking and drinking. Also, she was reduced to a mistress. In fact, she was
no different from other bitches. Melissa thought she was a degraded woman. There was no hope to live in this world. As long as
her parents were good, she could endure whatever she got!
Melissa was sure that if one day her parents died, she would die without hesitation. After all, there was nothing in the world that
worthy of her love!

Seeing that she hadn't answered him for a long time and kept smoking, Eric was so sad that deep despair and melancholy could
be seen in his eyes. The despair was so cold and mighty, as if it had been impossible to see any hope and it had been dead in
despair, or just a walking corpse. He felt both strange and heartbroken to see Melissa like this. He couldn't help asking, "What's
wrong with you?"
Melissa said with nonchalance, "Why does you care about me so much? Such a nobody like me is lucky enough to be
remembered by you. Thus, I won't expect any further concern from you! " These words from Melissa were polite and self-
abasement, but full of indifference and alienation. Anyway, she didn't want him to ask too much.
All of a sudden, Eric grabbed her hand and stared at her with his burning eyes, saying, "Tell me the truth, Melissa. Did something
happen during that period of time and did it make your life change abruptly? I heard something...... You became a mistress. Is
that true? "
Melissa shook off his hand and refused with a faint smile, saying, "This has nothing to do with you!"
Back then, she was kept as a mistress. In order to prevent her parents from knowing her dirty deal, she had to ask Colin to hide
it and he was very quick to promise her on this. From then on, he gave an order to keep the secret from being leaked.
Colin was the boss in the entertainment circle and had many powerful connections. Many people didn't dare to offend him, and of
course, they didn't dare to spread the news. Besides, Colin had kept some distance from her as well. Therefore, no one dared to
guess or gossip about the relationship between them, even if Melissa always stayed together with Colin. Even if they really knew
the truth, they wouldn't dare to say anything. Therefore, even though Melissa and Colin had been together for five years, few
people knew about them. So was Eric. He only heard a little bit of the news and speculated herself.
Hearing of Melissa's words, the corners of Eric's mouth twitched. He said coldly, "I want to help you, Melissa."
"You haven't the ability to help me!" Then Melissa continued with a smile, "Besides, I don't know why you want to help me. It
seems that I have nothing to do with you! What's your purpose by being so enthusiastic? " Melissa raised her eyebrows. She
was well aware that someone showed his kindness. She thought that no man in this circle would suddenly show his or her
affection for her out of no reason. And after all, Eric had been a veteran. If she trusted him and asked him for help, there would
be another trap. What was more, it was hard for Eric to fight against Colin. It was impossible, so she didn't want to have anything
to do with him.
All of a sudden, Eric said with a sigh, "Melissa, you've changed. You're more indifferent and heartless than before!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the distance. Melissa looked over and saw a figure running away. Eric immediately
frowned and said, "Shit, it's a paparazzo!" He seemed to be displeased.
On the contrary, Melissa was rather composed. After all, she was just nobody. It didn't matter if she was photographed and it
wouldn't have much impact on her. But Eric as movie king and most popular young actor needed to pay attention to gossip.
Melissa still smoked, "You'd better leave now." When she finished, she turned around, intending to leave. She didn't want to
tangle with him any longer.
But all of a sudden, Eric grabbed her hand and said, "Melissa!"
Melissa was shocked and turned around to look at him. No one had the guts to hold her hand except Colin. When Eric saw that
she was shocked, he quietly released her and said coldly, "If you still want to act and pursue your art dream, you can contact to
me. I don't know who your backer is, but I can help you!" Seeing she was surprised and confused, Eric explained, "After all, we
used to be good partners. I don't want to see you upset. You are a good talent, so you can't waste your talent like this!"
After saying that, Eric glanced at her and turned around with his hands in his pockets. With his head lowered, he walked into the
crowd.
Looking at him quietly, Melissa suddenly recalled the days when she and Eric were filming, she was so innocent that she was
often teased by him. For example, he often made fun of her, or came across an inexplicable hug or force kiss. In a word, she
was molested. She hated Eric at that time. He always flirted with woman. So she thought that such a person must be very fickle.
She didn't expect that after so many years, he had become more mature. Although he was indeed a womanizer from the time he
kissed with the female star just now, he was the only one who really cared about her. No one cared about her for so many years
since she was banished from the entertainment industry.
Little did Melissa know that her all actions with Eric were caught by Colin. Since she left the party, Colin also followed her. Sitting
in his own car, he looked at them silently with a gloomy face and calculating mind.
