My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 28

That Was Not Part Of The Scene
Selene stared at the person who was going to be acting as King Ardine with her mouth wide open. He was so tall, almost the same height as Xavier, but he held a stoic expression that made him look like someone had just offended him.

He was already wearing his royal outfit of a king and each part of the attire suited him perfectly well. His muscles popped.

But the strangest thing was that Selene hadn’t seen the man in a movie before. He was unrecognizable. And the way his eyes stared at her, she thought she had offended him.

“It’s a good thing that you are ready, Liam. We can go ahead and start shooting the first scene of The Sinner,” said director Jeunes, clapping his hands so that the crew and cast could get ready for ACTION.

Liam stared at Selene and she stared back at him. The silence stretched on while the people behind them ran helter-skelter before the director got annoyed.

Selene stretched out her hand for a handshake. “Hi, I’m Selene,” she introduced herself with a small smile on her lips.

“I know,” said Liam. His gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before he stretched out his hand and shook hers. “I hope to have a good working relationship with you,” he repeated her words from earlier when director Jeunes had introduced her to her colleagues.

Selene’s eyes widened as she realized that he had been watching her.

‘Creepy,’ she thought to herself.

A camera shutter cut her from her thoughts as she tore her eyes from Liam to stare at Kace who had just taken a picture of her.

“You look like a mannequin in that dress,” Kace teased her as he stared at the picture displayed on his phone’s screen.

“You…” Selene bit her tongue before she would curse at Kace at that moment. “You’d better delete that picture,” she added.

Turning back to Liam whose eyes were still on her, completely unreadable, she sighed.

“Let’s go,” she said and walked away while Liam followed behind her.

The Sinner was an Eastern historical movie about a kingdom called the Evergreen Kingdom, due to its riches in soil and agricultural products. Other kingdoms had tried to overthrow the Evergreen kingdom since it was warm and their lands provided them with everything they would ever need. It had seasons like spring, autumn, summer, and winter which not all other kingdoms had.

Some kingdoms were either too cold or too hot or they lacked land that had rich soil to grow their crops.

Everything was perfect for the Evergreen kingdom with their king ruling them nicely. Until the day he decided to bring in a concubine. It was the day Evergreen met their doom. Queen Jammiah caught King Ardine, on the bed with Concubine Laila and her heart shattered. With her heart tight with so much anger and betrayal, she cursed the Evergreen kingdom to never see the sun and never see peace until she was satisfied.

The location of the first scene was in the bedroom, where Queen Jammiah catches King Ardine on the bed with concubine Laila Gunta.

“Action!” Director Jeunes screamed loudly over the microphone in his hand that it hurt the ears of the people who were standing beside him, as he was seated in his director’s seat.

Queen Jammiah looked around the rooms as she searched for her husband, King Ardine.

She found a maid who carried a tray in her hands, and quickly asked her, “Have you seen the king?”

The maid lowered her head respectfully as she replied with a 90 degree bow, “Your majesty, I’m sorry but I haven’t seen His Highness a-anyway.”

The maid tried to keep her voice stable but it betrayed her at the end of her sentence.

Queen Jammiah’s eyes narrowed at the maid, knowing fully well that the maid was lying to her.

“Raise your head and look at her,” she ordered, her tone holding so much command that the maid instinctively did as she was told to, else she would have her head rolling. “Where is my husband?” Queen Jammiah questioned the maid again, her eyes glaring at the maid.

“His Highness is in the concubine’s room, your Majesty,” the maid replied as streams of tears poured from her eyes. She waited for the queen to give her punishment for lying to her the first time.

Luckily for her, the queen didn’t have her time at that moment.

Queen Jammiah didn’t completely lose her cool as she headed to Laila Gunta’s room. The king had promised her he had thrown her out of the palace but she was still around.

Once Queen Jammiah’s feet graced the room of the concubine, her heart shattered. Her eyes caught King Ardine lying on top of Laila. A single tear dropped from her eyes but she immediately wiped it away.

Kind Ardine sensed his queen’s presence in the chamber and with a bat of an eyelash, he was already on the ground pleading for her to forgive him.

He was more than shocked to find her in the concubine’s chamber.

“Please, my queen. I promise to never do it again,” King Ardine pleaded as he tried to cover his nakedness while he still kneeled on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

Laila Gunta covered her body with the quilt as she glared at the queen who hadn’t said a word yet.

“Excuse me, your majesty. But as the daughter of a royal family, and the queen of this kingdom, did your parents perhaps forget to teach you some manners? For example, to never interrupt the king when he is making love to me,” Laila Gunta questioned the queen as she glared at her. In return, the king glared at the concubine he was regretting sleeping with, only because he was caught in the act.

Queen Jammiah maintained her cool as she took steps towards the concubine.

Lifting her hands, without warning, the queen struck Laila Gunta across the cheek.

“CUT!!!”
