"She and I met before this?" Thomas furrowed his brows and flipped through the folder. "Why don't I remember her at all?
"Perhaps Ms. Yannie is so plain-looking that you never gave her much notice." Xander sighed and continued, "According to my research, Ms. Yannie grew up here in Merchant City and never once left, except for the time she flew to a small village in Europa last year to attend someone's funeral in her mother’s place.
"Coincidentally, you were shooting a movie in that same village, and you even stayed a night in the church due to the heavy rain."
Thomas narrowed his eyes. "I'll never forget that night."
That night, someone from the film crew had spiked his tea with a poison of some sort that enhanced his libido.
To counter the drug's effects, he needed to sleep with someone, and there were plenty of women of his choosing among the film crew.
However, Thomas knew that the person who had spiked his tea was undoubtedly a woman from the film crew who had intended to sleep with him, so he refused to do so.
Even after the drug began to take effect and caused him to become increasingly disoriented, he insisted to his assistants and Father Samuel that no one was to be allowed in his room.
That night, more than ten women were forced to stare at his room door, waiting for
it to open.
Everyone knew that international superstar Thomas Howard was on the other side of the door, and if they were to sleep with him, they would ascend to rising fame.
If they were lucky, they might be able to win over his heart and become a celebrity wife.
Despite this, no one was allowed to enter the room under the assistants' careful watch.
All but one.
However, at that time, the poison had finally taken hold of his mind,
was.
Not even Thomas could recall what the woman had looked like; all he remembered was that her eyes were big and bright, framing her face beautifully.
He could not help narrowing his eyes when he recalled the woman.
After what happened that night, he had put substantial effort and money into tracking her down, but it was as though she had disappeared into thin air.
No matter how hard he tried to persuade Father Samuel, he refused to give him any information regarding the woman who had broken into his room.
Therefore, Thomas had no choice but to embark on this search alone, but how could he achieve that on his own?
