My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: She’s Better Than You
At Xavier’s mansion,

Anastasia stared at the screen of her phone, shock written all over her face when she saw her name was written under the character, Queen Jammiah.

She didn’t think she would be able to pass the audition since Michelle was also auditioning for the same character.

Anastasia jumped up from her bed and screamed excitedly. When she realized that her voice was too loud, she covered her mouth instantly.

“I wonder how she must be feeling right now but I want to call her,” Anastasia mumbled her breath as she dialed Michelle’s phone number. She was curious to know how the latter was taking the news.

Michelle saw her phone ringing but she was too angry to pick it up. The phone wouldn’t stop ringing either to give her space to think.

Furiously, she snatched the phone from the table. When her eyes landed on the phone flashing on her screen, she gritted her teeth in anger and intended to smash her phone on the hard ground but paused mid-air.

She checked the screen again when she saw that it wasn’t ringing anymore. She dropped the phone back on the table.

Immediately, the phone rang again, as if testing Michelle’s patience. She grabbed the phone and glared at the caller’s name.

It still showed Selene Jones.

“Why won’t she stop calling me?” She questioned herself.

Taking a deep breath, Michelle decided to calm herself down before she picked up the call.

“Hi, Selene. How are you doing?” She asked with the sweetest voice ever.

If someone had seen the way she acted, they would have concluded that she had two personalities.

Selene grimaced when she heard Michelle’s voice over the phone, goosebumps popping on her skin.

“Hi Michelle, I’m doing fine. How are you too?” She asked back. Of course, she knew that Michelle wasn’t doing well. She could hear the latter breathing heavily in rage from the other side even though she tried her best to conceal it.

‘Looks like someone is breaking their character,’ Selene thought to herself as a grin graced her lips.

“I’m doing fine as well,” Michelle replied.

“That’s good. I was calling to ask you if you’ve seen the list of the roles we auditioned for. I got the female lead role, Queen Jammiah,” said Selene, sounding so excited about the news that she wished Michelle would have nightmares about it later.

Michelle clenched her fist in anger as she gritted her teeth. She internally wished she could punch Selene across the face, over the phone.

She took another deep breath, trying to quench the rage that was flooding her system, but was unable to. She could only try her best to mask it but that option was failing her too.

“Really? Why didn’t you tell me you auditioned for the female lead role, Selene? I was also auditioning for that role as well?” She asked, curious to know Selene’s reply.

“You never asked, Michelle. I was waiting for you to ask but you didn’t seem to be interested in what role I was auditioning for,” Selene replied without holding back. There was nothing Michelle could do to her other than curse at her. “I’m sorry you didn’t get the role you wanted though, but hope isn’t entirely lost. You got the role of the concubine, Laila Gunta,” Selene added, her grin widening on her lips.

Now she wished she could see Michelle’s expressions at the moment.

Michelle frowned at first. She didn’t bother to check if she got a substitute role due to her rage. But still, she had wanted the role which Selene had stolen from her.

She was an A-list celebrity, an actress, and a model who was known all over Radiantia and was starting to get internationally famous too. She couldn’t believe Selene, who was a rookie and hadn’t acted in her movie yet had stolen her role right under her nose if she didn’t do something behind her back.

‘She must have slept with one of the judges for benefits,’ Michelle concluded in her thoughts.

Since director Jeunes was the one in charge of the production of the movie, she believed that it was director Jeunes, Selene who must have slept with.

“Michelle, are you still there?” Selene asked when she noticed that the other side of the line was too quiet.

Michelle came out of her thoughts and replied immediately, “Hmm, yes, I saw.”

“Great then! It’s a good thing they decided to add you in the movie still. Alright then, I will be going back to my script reading. Take care of yourself, Michelle,” Selene smooched over the phone before she hung up the call.

When she heard the beeping sound, she jumped up again in excitement as she screamed out loudly, loving every moment she used to play with Michelle.

“YAHOOOOOO!”

On the other side, Michelle kicked her chair away, not caring if any of the Wallace members saw her actions.

“That bitch!!” She cursed, walking back to her room.

Richard was in the room, playing with his video games as usual when he saw Michelle storm into the room like a bull chasing a red flag.

“Why do you look so upset? Who annoyed you this time around?” He asked her, his attention still on his screen as he continued to play his game.

Selene snorted before she replied, “Can you believe that the role I went to audition for two days ago, I lost it? And guess who got the role?”

Richard frowned, suddenly regretting asking her what was the cause of her soured mood.

“Who was it?”

“It was Selene.”

Richard immediately paused his game as he turned to look at her.

“Which Selene?” He asked her, eyes widened in shock.

Michelle gritted her teeth in anger since it seemed that Richard intended to add fuel to her anger.

“How many Selene do you know? I’m talking about Selene Jones, you deadbeat. Selene Jones, who looks like Anastasia!” She barked at him.

A smile graced Richard’s lips as he asked, “Wow! If she got the role instead of you, that could only mean that she’s better than you, doesn’t it?”
