My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 36

It Was Michelle
As soon as Allison managed to finish Selene’s makeup, Natalie gave her the dress she would change into. After that, they made a few minor changes here and there before Selene wore her shoes.

Once she was ready, she thanked them both and left the makeup room.

Michelle glanced at Selene’s shoes as an evil smirk pulled on her lips.

‘I can’t wait for those shoes to break,’ she thought to herself as she continued staring at them.

Mia who was behind Michelle noticed her staring at Selene’s shoes and asked, “Michelle, why do you keep staring at those shoes? Do you want them?”

Michelle snorted. “I can never want such shabby shoes,” Michelle replied. The shoes Selene was wearing were not like the modern heels. It was made with fancy old green cloth. It looked more like sandals than heels.

Mia shrugged and kept quiet beside Michelle, not wanting to anger the latter, especially after what she had done the previous day.

Liam stared at Selene, taking in her beautiful frame with the royal gown. She looked like a real-life queen. He continued to stare at her, refusing to blink as if she would disappear if he did.

He hasn’t gotten the chance to introduce himself properly to her yet. The only time they spoke was when they were in their scenes and when he introduced himself.

He sighed, wishing he would get the chance to speak to her more properly.

Martha nudged Liam on the hand, grabbing his attention. “What are you looking at?” She asked him, looking in the direction where his view was and it landed on Selene. “She looks beautiful doesn’t she?” Martha asked.

She and Liam have been friends for a long time since both of them started their careers from scratch. They were best friends who strived together until they achieved their dreams. Now, they were both one of the most famous actors in Radiantia.

“I don’t know,” Liam responded. Without giving her the chance to say anything else, he added, “I will be going ahead.”

He left while Martha stared at his retreating back with a faint smile that didn’t reach her eyes. She sighed before she left as well.

When director Jeunes arrived, everyone immediately got into position.

“ACTION!!” He screamed through the microphone. Unfortunately for him, the people near him had anticipated that word so they closed their ears in advance.

Selene walked out of the palace, intending to leave and go back to her father’s kingdom before she got married to King Ardine.

King Ardine had the bodyguards try to stop her but they didn’t dare to since the queen was glaring at them, daring them to touch her.

She was still the queen and she could have them punished if they dared touch her.

King Ardine continued to plead for her forgiveness but she didn’t pay any attention to him.

As Selene was about to take one more step, she felt her shoes break, turning her ankle at an odd angle as she yelped in pain.

Michelle smirked from where she stood, staring at Selene.

Immediately, everyone came to Selene’s help. Since Liam was the closest to her, he helped her stand up but she couldn’t walk so he had to carry her.

Selene’s eyes widened in shock when she found her feet lifting away from the ground. But the shock wasn’t enough to suppress the pain she felt in her right ankle.

Everyone was amazed when they saw Liam lift Selene off the ground. The girls blushed, wondering how strong he was. They covered their mouths as they murmured between themselves, wishing they were in Selene’s position.

Liam gently settled Selene on the chair that was arranged by the crew.

“What happened?” Director Jeunes asked, his face and everyone’s face etched with confusion

At first, she was acting without any problem before she suddenly yelped in pain.

“My shoe broke,” said Selene, wincing in pain as she tried to balance her feet on the ground, but she couldn’t. The pain was burning too much.  “And my ankle bent,” she added, closing her eyes to try to suppress the pain.

Everyone’s eyes landed on a piece of the shoe that was where she fell then looked at her left, where her ankles were bent.

“How did your shoes break?! Didn’t the stylist check everything before she gave you the shoes?!” Director Jeunes barked, obviously annoyed with the turn of events. His lead actress had been injured due to the carelessness of one of his crew members. “Where’s the stylist?” He questioned out loud.

Natalie rushed out when she heard her name being called by other people.

When she saw Selene’s ankle which didn’t look normal, she gasped.

“Ms. Selene, what happened to you?” She asked, worry etched on her face. But Selene was in too much pain to open her mouth to speak.

Kace went to her to try to rub her feet but she wouldn’t let him near it.

“Selene’s shoes broke while she was acting, how on earth did that happen?” Director Jeunes questioned the young girl, whose heart was already beating loudly in her chest.

“What?” She gasped, her eyes also landing on the parts of the shoes that were in different locations. “I promise you, director, I always check the clothes and shoes that Ms. Selene wears. I don’t know how this happened,” the girl panicked.

In a situation like this, a lot of people might think she had done something like that to sabotage Selene and the movie. It had been a regular occurrence in the movie industry.

Tears flowed out of her eyes. Director Jeunes was a serious man who didn’t like any mistakes in his movies and she believed she had messed up.

“Well, how do you explain how the shoes broke?” Director Jeunes questioned, his eyes glaring at her, expecting an explanation that she didn’t have.

“I might have an idea who was behind this,” Kace suddenly spoke and everyone’s attention went to him. “It was Michelle.”
