His Calculated Love

Chapter 1

Maggie unexpectedly gained a domineering CEO boyfriend on the same day she was cheated on by her previous one. He teased her playfully at every opportunity and loved her deeply. However, he always called her "Meg" in bed. Maggie thought it was just one of his peculiar habits.

Later, Maggie saw Megan's grave. Only then did she realize that his deep affection was not inexplicable, but rather perfectly calculated.

In the cramped backseat of the car, Maggie curled up near the door, ready to escape at any moment. However, the man beside her had no intention of letting her go. He shifted closer, pressing his body against hers, and locked the car door.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Miss, you think you can ruin my reputation and just leave?"

His breath on her ear made her shiver and feel a sudden heat. "I, um, I was impulsive just now. I'm sorry."

Today was the 100th concert of Brody's career, Maggie's idol since high school. She had spent a fortune buying three tickets from a ticket reseller to attend Brody's concert with her boyfriend Andrew and her best friend Rebecca.

Unexpectedly, when the camera panned to Andrew, he pulled a veil from his pocket and placed it on Rebecca's head. Ignoring Maggie's shocked gaze, he got down on one knee and proposed to Rebecca.

Furious, Maggie glanced at the man sitting next to her. He wasn't bad-looking, had no ring on his finger, and was accompanied by a male friend. In a fit of rage, she grabbed his collar and kissed him without hesitation.

Initially, Maggie only intended to brush her lips against his, but as she tried to pull away, the man cupped the back of her head. She felt his tongue slowly prying her lips open, exploring until it entwined with hers.

"Maggie, what are you doing!" Andrew yanked her away from the stranger.

Maggie found Andrew's anger amusing. He could propose to another woman in front of everyone, disregarding her feelings as his official girlfriend, but couldn't stand her making him a cuckold.

She glanced at Rebecca behind Andrew. Rebecca, perhaps intentionally, raised her hand to adjust her hair, revealing the diamond ring on her finger. Maggie kicked Andrew in the groin. "Do I need to report my actions to you? What relationship do we have? Take care of your fiancée!" With that, she pulled the stranger and left the concert.

Maggie dragged the man out of the stadium. Once outside, she couldn't hold it together any longer. She collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrollably. Between sobs, she apologized to the man, "I'm sorry for ruining your concert experience. Let's exchange messaging app contacts, and I'll reimburse you for the ticket."

She didn't get a response. Just as she was about to look up, she felt herself being lifted off the ground. The next moment, she was in the man's arms.

He carried her all the way to the parking lot and put her in the luxury car they were now sitting in.

The man continued to close in on Maggie. With no space left behind her, her back was pressed firmly against the car door. "So, tell me, how do you intend to make it up to me?"

He looked at her with interest, his body pressing against her chest. One hand caressed her slender waist, his cold yet handsome face inching closer. Maggie, nervous, closed her eyes. Seeing this, the man stopped teasing her and retreated to a safe distance. "You were quite bold when you kissed me earlier. Now you're scared? That's no fun."

He unlocked the car door. Hearing the sound, Maggie quickly opened the door and fled in a panic.

"Is this you?" The man lying on the treatment chair pointed at the woman passionately kissing on the phone screen and asked Maggie.

Maggie impatiently took off her gloves. This was already the fifth person today who had come to the clinic under the pretense of a dental appointment just to gossip.

Yesterday's concert incident had become a hot topic on social media, even overshadowing Brody's concert itself. As the focal point, Maggie's identity had been dug up by netizens last night. By the time the clinic opened this morning, a crowd of bloggers holding up their phones had already gathered outside, eager to catch a piece of the buzz.

Maggie ran to the break room, feeling both angry and wronged. Clearly, the culprits were that shameless couple, so why were these people bothering her?

Her partner, Milly, pushed the door open, holding her phone. "Maggie, you've really outdone yourself. Do you know who the man you kissed at the concert is?"

Maggie rolled her eyes at Milly. "Milly, even you are gossiping?"

"It's because you're so bold! Kissing a stranger after being cheated on-how sensational!"

Maggie rolled her eyes again. "Who did you say that man was?"

"Dominic, Brody's older brother."

Maggie's mind exploded. Fans knew Brody had an older brother named Dominic, but Brody had always protected his family's privacy well. No one had ever seen what his family looked like. Maggie hadn't expected that her impulsive act yesterday would involve her with her idol's brother.

"Dr. Maggie, there's another patient."

Maggie hadn't even had time to process her sadness when the nurse called her back out.

In the consultation room, a man wearing a mask was waiting to be seen. Maggie sat down across from him.

"What's wrong with your teeth?"

"It seems like my wisdom tooth is inflamed."

The man's voice sounded familiar to Maggie, but she couldn't place where she had heard it before.

"Lie down, let me take a look."

Maggie washed her hands and returned to find the nurse had already reclined the treatment chair. The man lay on it. Seeing he was still wearing a mask, Maggie said, "Please take off your mask."

The man obediently removed his mask. The moment Maggie saw his face, she felt like her world shattered. "Dominic!"

The nurse, who had already heard the gossip, considerately left the room, leaving Maggie and Dominic alone.

"Wow, it seems you're well-informed. You already know my name."

Maggie forced a smile. "We've been trending for so long, it's hard not to know."

Dominic sat up, and Maggie instinctively backed away. Her movement was so exaggerated that she accidentally fell off the chair.

Dominic quickly caught her and pulled her onto his lap. "What, do you want to kiss me again?"

Maggie's face burned with embarrassment. She tried to push Dominic away, but he held her tighter. She whispered, "So, is your wisdom tooth really inflamed?"

Dominic chuckled, leaning close to her ear. "My wisdom tooth isn't inflamed, but something else is burning."

Maggie's face turned even redder, her body going limp in Dominic's arms. "Then you should see a Chinese medicine doctor."

Maggie's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of coquettishness. Before he completely lost control, Dominic placed Maggie back on the chair and got down to business. "Since you know who I am, you should also know my relationship with Brody, right?"

Maggie nodded.

"Then you should also know that I am the owner of Oramery Entertainment, right?"

Maggie nodded again.

"Good, then I formally inform you that your actions yesterday have brought negative impacts to our company, causing our stock price to drop by nearly ten percent. How do you intend to make amends for that?"

Maggie had never been good with numbers, nor did she understand finance. She had no idea what ten percent meant. "How much money are we talking about? Tell me if I can afford it."

"120 million."

Maggie almost fainted. "How much?"

"120 million."

"I can't pay that."

Maggie said resolu
