My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 29

Messed Up
“That was awesome,” the director complimented Selene. “I loved the change in your expression and the shock on Michelle’s face when you slapped her just made it better. It added a touch to the scene,” director Jeunes added.

Selene bowed gratefully at the director for giving her a chance and for complimenting her acting.

Kace clapped loudly for her from the sideline. Normally, no one except the crew and cast were permitted to enter the set of the movie. But he was Kace Wallace.

On the other hand, Michelle grabbed her burning cheeks as she glared at Selene’s retreating back. The slap was never part of the script. She had studied the script for a whole week and for sure, she knew that the slap wasn’t part of the script. Selene had just slapped her when the director didn’t instruct her to.

Instead of the director reprimanding her for slapping an A-list celebrity like her, he complimented her instead because it added a touch to the scene.

“A touch my foot,” Michelle spat out as she continued to glare at Selene.

Her cheeks hurt due to the hard slap, it seemed to have hit her brain and it left her cheeks swollen.

“Mia, get me some ice,” she ordered Mia who had been quiet since the scene ended. She could feel Michelle’s blood boiling even though she maintained a three feet distance from her.

Without waiting for Michelle to repeat her words and vent her anger on her, she immediately excused herself to get her the pack of ice while Michelle continued to glare at Selene.

Selene noticed Michelle glaring hard at her back. If only stares could kill, she was sure she would be six feet under already.

Not minding Michelle’s glare, Selene went to change her clothes. She wasn’t going to be part of the next scene and she needed to feel lighter.

She was sure that the dress weighed at least half her weight.

The slap she had just landed hard on Michelle’s cheeks wasn’t planned but her hands had been itching to slap her in the face. And she grabbed the opportunity immediately.

After changing her clothes, Michelle was already acting in her second scene where she pleaded with King Ardine not to send her out of the palace, so she lies that she is pregnant.

Michelle seemed to be in a trance since she made a few mistakes with her line a few times, messing the whole thing up.

“I think the slap has loosened her screws even more,” Selene whispered to Kace and the latter snickered.

The director became quite annoyed with Michelle making the mistakes repeatedly. He was starting to run out of patience.

“Michelle!” He screamed over the microphone. Instantly, the people near him covered their ears. “When he pushes you down, you need to fall hard. This is the fifth take already, Michelle, what is wrong with you?” He questioned her, his eyes glaring at her.

Michelle hissed under her breath. This was the first time she was getting humiliated and the director was only making the whole thing worse by yelling at her. She tried to fall as hard as possible, but the director wasn’t satisfied.

“Michelle!!” Director Jeunes warned.

Michelle’s eyes landed on Selene who was surprisingly giving her an encouraging smile. But in the eyes of Michelle, Selene was simply mocking her.

Michelle stood up. Both she and Liam repeated the scene one last time, and she fell the way the director wanted her to. But she ended up getting her elbow bruised.

“And that’s a wrap for today’s shoot,” the director yelled over the microphone, again, nearly deafening the people near him.

Selene walked towards Michelle. The latter was placing an ice pack on her bleeding elbow, she felt she was being mistreated in the set.

“Michelle,” Selene called with a smile on her lips. Mia saw Selene and instantly hissed.

“Anastasia, Michelle is not in the mood to see you right now. Can you just leave?” Mia glared at Selene which shocked the latter, her eyes went to Michelle with a questioning eyebrow.

Michelle facepalmed herself when she heard Mia speak. The latter was going to spoil her plans.

“You haven’t told your assistant that I’m not your sister, Anastasia?” Selene asked.

Michelle gritted her teeth as she cursed Mia under her breath.

“You suddenly disappeared then reappeared with a new name and you think everyone won’t know that you are Anastasia. You need to—”

“I would advise you to watch your tongue as you talk with Selene,” Kace warned from behind Selene as he glared at Mia who suddenly felt like she couldn’t breathe anymore. “She doesn’t have to prove anything to you and if you don’t believe she is who she says she is, the least you can do is zip your mouth,” he added.

Instinctively, Mia clamped her mouth shut as she lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact with Kace.

Kace always looked like someone everyone could get along with. But when he wasn’t smiling anymore, he looked like a predator.

“Mia, get out,” Michelle ordered her assistant. The latter opened and closed her mouth to protest before she left when no words came out.

Turning to Selene, Michelle apologized to her, “I’m sorry for what my assistant said to you earlier. I don’t know why she doesn’t want to believe that you are not Anastasia. I’ve told her multiple times.”

“Honestly, Michelle. In my opinion, your assistant is only saying what you are feeding her,” said Kace, his smile on his lips again but it didn’t reach his eyes as he continued to speak to Michelle. “If she doesn’t believe that Selene isn’t Anastasia, it only means that you don’t believe she isn’t Anastasia and you two must have been talking bad about her.”

Now, it was Michelle’s turn to glare at Kace.

“Selene is my friend, I would never talk bad about her,” Michelle tried to defend herself.

“Keep saying it until you believe it,” Kace replied.

Michelle glared at Kace, “And what’s that supposed to mean?”
