My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Was It Derek?
After a few days, the filming for Selene’s next movie started.

Selene arrived at the set with Kace. She couldn’t believe she was acting in her next movie so soon.

After meeting with the directors and producers, Selene walked into her makeup room. Instantly, she was surprised to see Allison and Natalie.

“Good day, Ms. Selene,” The girls greeted.

“I never thought I would see the both of you again,” Selene commented with a smile on her lips.

Selene had once informed Kace that she wanted Allison and Natalie to be her makeup artist and stylist again, confident in their exceptional skills. The girls knew their job perfectly well, and Selene trusted them completel.

However, she never expected Kace to actually succeed in reaching out to them, as she had assumed they were already committed to working for another actress.

After exchanging further pleasantries, the girls got to work, making Selene look dazzling as always.

Selene came out of the makeup room, and just like the first time in The Sinner set, everyone stared at her as if she was a goddess.

Since Shadows Of Deception; the name of the movie, was set in modern times, Selene was wearing black a pair of denim black jeans, with a black top. The collar was curled around her neck. She paired it off with a business suit, making her look like a business woman which she would be portraying in the movie.

Selene sighted Kael from afar. She hadn’t seen him after the night of their meeting, when he glared at her as if she had offended him one time.

When Kael saw her, he revealed a small smile on his lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

Selene frowned a little before returning the smile, finally concluding she was seeing things that night since she was extremely exhausted.

Then, she went to meet the director to discuss the movie further.

Kace made eye contact with Kael, and instantly, it felt as if the temperature around them had dropped. As the two glared at each other, their fists were tightly clenched as they gritted their teeth silently.

This would be the first time after two decades a member of the two families were crossing paths again.

If not for the people around, an argument would have already risen, with a pinch of a few punches here and there.

Kace tore his eyes from Kael, deciding to focus on other things.

When he thought of Allison, he went to the makeup room, only to find her alone—he didn’t find Natalie anywhere. He didn’t bother to ask about her whereabouts since he already found whom he was looking for.

“I’m glad you didn’t reject my offer this time around,” he said, sitting beside Allison who was arranging her makeup kit.

For the past two months, Kace had offered Allison several job opportunities, such as being an intern in the Wallace company or being a part-time staff in some of their family’s other businesses, but she always refused.

There even came a time when he nearly offered her a job as a janitor, but he turned down the idea since there was a 90% chance she would pick that over the other opportunities.

When Selene told him about the new movie, he concluded she would need a makeup artist. Turns out Selene wanted Allison and her friend back.

Immediately, Kace grabbed the opportunity and contacted Allison. In a blink of an eyelash, she accepted it.

“Thank you,” she responded. This was the third time she was appreciating him for his generosity.

Kace stared at her. Since he entered the room, she hadn’t looked up at him or given him a snark reply.

His eyes fell on the clothes she was wearing. It was a long turtle neck that covered her arms and her neck completely. Her hair was kept in a ponytail as always.

“Why are you silent today?” He blurted out.

“What do you want me to do? Bark like a dog or meow like a cat?” she responded.

Kace was almost convinced her snarky attitude had returned, but he noticed something was lacking in her tone.

“Allison, look at me,” Kace ordered with so much authority it made her shoulders go stiff and her hands that were cleaning the makeup mirror paused. “Look at me,” he repeated. When she didn’t move, he grabbed her hand and made her face him.

Allison looked alright, there were no injuries on her face but the turtle neck she was wearing restricted him from staring at her neck and hand.

“Are you hurt anywhere?” He asked her, concern laced in his tone. His own voice slightly stunned him but he didn’t show it.

“Why do you care?” Allison questioned back. She yanked her wrist off his grip and took two steps back to create distance between them. He was too close and she could feel the heat emitting from him.

Without hesitating, Kace closed the distance with just one long stride.

He placed his hands on her shoulders, making her flinch. Immediately, his gaze hardened.

Without asking for her permission, he pulled the turtle’s neck down from her neck to her shoulders with so much force it ripped.

“What are you doing?” Allison questioned, high on alert.

Kace glared at the several red spots on her neck. It hadn’t turned back yet which only means she just got them—someone had hurt her.

“Who did this to you?” He demanded, his tone firm.

Allison was a little shocked at how his demeanor had changed in just a few seconds. Her saliva got stuck in her throat and she nearly got choked on it.

“It’s none of your business.” She tried to yank her wrist off him but his grip was too tight; it wasn’t painful but was too tight for her to break free. “Let me go.”

Kace’s black eyes tore from the red spots on her skin and bore into her frightened blue ones.

“Was it Derek?” He questioned.
