Chapter 2My Sexually Indifferent Husband Claims Me Hard In My Dreams

Amelia's POV

Daniel and I were strangers, having only met once on our wedding day.

He was forced into marriage by his family, and he wore a scowl the entire time. After the wedding, he continued to live in the small apartment provided by his company.

We had no emotional connection to begin with and agreed not to interfere with each other's lives.

I, of course, approved.

I just never imagined that the man who relentlessly pursued me in my dreams every night would be the usually expressionless Daniel!

Could it be that I'd lusted after him for too long, which led to me shamelessly seeking him out in my dreams?

His toned physique, those chiseled abs-so fit and strong. If only in real life...

I slapped myself to snap out of it.

Damn it!

Why was my mind filled with Daniel!

Brenda walked in just as I slapped myself, excitedly shaking my shoulders. "Amelia, you're going to be huge! 'Star Talk' has invited you!"

"Star Talk" was the prime-time talk show, a spot reserved for A-listers. For a small-time actress like me to land an invitation, it felt like a cosmic stroke of luck.

But when I got to the set, I found out the show had also invited Celeste.

No one online knew my true identity; in the media's eyes, I was just Celeste's little protégé.

Celeste was doing much better than me.

She was famous, had a good personality, and great looks.

She was already a household name in the industry and was willing to lower her status to help me out on various variety shows and TV dramas.

In her fans' eyes, she was humble and kind, while I was seen as malicious and jealous.

As expected, as soon as the show started, the comment section was flooded.

"Celeste is so beautiful!"

"Amelia is pretending to be Daniel's wife and still dares to appear at the same event as Celeste! What thick skin!"

"The commenter above is right, Amelia's fame is built on riding coattails anyway. Her fans just don't bother to argue with her!"

"Shameless bitch! Get out of the entertainment industry!"

Seeing the comment section ablaze, the host smiled, pleased, and took charge. "I'm sure everyone has seen the trending topics. Today, we've invited the people behind the trending topic to respond to everyone."

Celeste, like a young girl experiencing first love, shyly said, "Daniel is so annoying, he wore my clothes for a photo and posted it online."

That line instantly sent netizens into a frenzy.

"So Daniel was wearing Celeste's clothes! Oh my God! They truly are a married couple!"

Although Daniel wasn't a major celebrity, with his striking features and perfect physique, he stood out among other CEOs, becoming the dream man for countless women.

Celeste smiled, looking at me.

Celeste had been present at the wedding, and she knew I wouldn't go public with my relationship with Daniel.

"Amelia, some netizens are questioning whether the previous reports about Daniel's wife were self-orchestrated by you. Now Daniel's wife, Celeste, is here. What's your response?"

The host and Celeste exchanged knowing glances; it was clear they had set a trap for me.

Actually, I hadn't planned on hiding my marriage.

The day after Daniel and I registered our marriage, I posted about being married online.

But Daniel's grandfather, fearing extreme fan backlash and concerned for my safety if my identity was exposed, had the post taken down.

To netizens, posting then deleting, without any clarification, became irrefutable proof that I was faking it, buying trending topics, and deliberately riding Daniel's coattails for fame.

After the host finished, Celeste set another trap for me.

"Amelia, since everyone wants to know, why don't you call Daniel and explain it to everyone?"

Comments below followed suit, mocking me. "Amelia probably doesn't even have Mr. Hayes's contact info!"

But to my surprise, Daniel called me at that exact moment.

I calmly showed the incoming call on the screen to the camera, then pressed accept.

"Daniel, what is it?"

Seeing Celeste's frozen smile and the screen full of question marks in the livestream, I finally felt a sense of satisfaction.

On the other end, Daniel paused for a moment, his voice sounding unnatural.

"To talk about divorce."
