The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 523

Vivian suddenly felt a bit intimidated. Even when lying down, this man possessed an aura of absolute authority that made it clear he was never truly at a disadvantage. It was as if everything remained entirely in his control.

When he remained silent, Vivian couldn't handle the intense scrutiny anymore. Feigning casualness, she prepared to climb off.

But the moment she moved her leg, the man surged upward with sudden force—

In the blink of an eye, their positions were completely reversed.

Silas's heavy breathing brushed against her ear. The electric, tingling sensation traveled through her veins, amplified by his husky, seductive voice.

"Then you'd better remember that you have a label on you too. Aside from me, no one else can ever take it off."

"..."

Before the words even settled, she felt a sharp nip on her neck.

It didn't hurt much, but she immediately knew it would leave a mark.

Sure enough, when she dragged herself out of bed to wash up, she saw the distinct red ring in the mirror.

"Are you secretly a dog, Silas? I..." Vivian started to curse, but when her eyes flicked to the man casually brushing his teeth, she met his dark, unyielding stare. Forcing a painfully fake smile, she gritted her teeth. "Babe, look at this mess you made. I can't even go outside looking like this."

"Then don't go out."

Silas rinsed his mouth with absolute calm. "You can finish your work from home."

"..." That sounded perfectly reasonable in theory, but she actually had things to do today.

As if reading her mind, he added smoothly, "If you really must go out, it's not a big deal. You didn't break any laws, so what are you afraid of?"

Vivian puffed her cheeks, deciding to stay quiet.

She could never win an argument with him anyway.

Silas, on the other hand, seemed to be in a fantastic mood. He even pinched her chin and planted a kiss on her lips. "Come down when you're done washing up. I'll make breakfast."

"Oh."

Vivian watched him walk away and let out a long sigh.

After brushing her teeth, she rummaged through her closet but couldn't find a single top that fully covered the mark. She had to settle for sweeping her hair down to hide it. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too obvious.
