The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 166

Initially opposed to the idea, Tara thinks it over and realizes it is actually a brilliant move. Having their heavyweight investor step in to play a supporting role will generate astronomical hype. Plus, she had been secretly nervous about filming intimate scenes with a male co-star for the first time. If that co-star is Danny, she suddenly feels incredibly grounded and safe.

"Alright, you're the boss. But if you want the role, you still have to run it by Director Preston. We'll see what he says," Tara finally agrees, to which Danny confidently nods.

Once home, Tara immediately relays the news to Director Preston, and they set up a formal meeting. She had worried the notoriously strict director would reject Danny outright, considering the billionaire isn't even a formally trained actor.

Instead, after a brief audition, Director Preston is absolutely floored.

He raves about how Danny's aura, temperament, and sheer presence align perfectly with the character. Even more shockingly, the legendary, ruthless CEO possesses incredible natural acting instincts. During his action sequences, Danny moves with lethal precision, completely eliminating the need for a stunt double. The man is a natural-born actor.

With that settled, Tara leaves the casting of the main leads to Tricia and Director Preston, trusting them to find actors with stellar reputations, solid acting chops, and strong market appeal.

Thrilled to have secured his spot as Tara's on-screen lover, Danny is in fantastic spirits and immediately invites her out to dinner. Tara hesitates for a moment, but figuring it would be a good opportunity to discuss the script with her new scene partner, she accepts.
