My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 38

An Invitation
Kace stared at Selene, confusion written all over his face.

“What do you mean by acting?” He asked her.

Selene moved her feet around, showing she wasn’t injured while Kace stared, eyes widening even more.

“What the hell?” He cursed.

“There’s nothing wrong with my feet at all. I saw Michelle staring at my shoes earlier when I came out of my dressing room. She didn’t know I caught her staring at it so I guessed she must have done something to the shoes,” Selene explained. “So I just pretended to fall and the heels broke. My guess was right, she did mess with the shoes,” she added, resting her back on the car seat, and sighing out loud.

Meanwhile, Kace still hasn’t digested all that Selene had just told him.

He had been worried that Xavier was going to skin him alive because he wasn’t able to protect Selene from Michelle’s games. But after hearing Selene, he sighed even louder, resting on the car seat as well.

“You scared the hell out of me, Selene,” he mumbled.

“I didn’t know I was going to do that myself. I just wanted to see her reaction when I fell.”

“You could have punished her by letting director Jeunes kick her out of the movie. I’m sure that would have been the best thing to happen to her,” said Kace. He was hoping that Michelle would be kicked out of the movie since she was so wicked, she nearly broke someone’s ankle all in the name of jealousy.

“Remember, I have to be in a good relationship with her. So far, she hasn’t invited me to the Harrison mansion again. And there’s no way I can get into the Harrison company building without an invite. Maybe I need to get closer to Mr Harrison,” she mumbled the last word.

A faint smile pulled on her lips before she added, “I’m still busy with Michelle at the moment and I will wait for her to invite me again. But if nothing happens after a few weeks, I will have to change my target.”

Kace frowned. “What do you mean by changing your target?” Kace asked, confusion written all over his face.

“Jack,” she mentioned. “Jack will be my new target.”

Kace didn’t quite understand what she meant by calling her brother’s name. From her expression, she didn’t seem to want to continue the conversation so he decided to drop it.

“It’s a good thing Director Jeunes gave you the rest of the day off,” he said, igniting the engines of the car before they zoomed off from the shooting site.

Selene got home and found the house empty as usual at that time. Except for the faint noises the maids made from the back.

Kace didn’t stay to keep Selene company. He still needed to see the condition of the criminal Amanda hadn’t killed yet. She was playing with his skin by pressing a hot iron on it before he left the hideout. He could only hope she hadn’t killed him yet.

Since there was nothing for Selene to do, she decided to go take a nap. It was just afternoon.

A few hours later, she woke up to the sound of her phone ringing.

Frowning, she mumbled, “Who could be calling me now?”

She checked the caller, a smirk pulling on her lips when she saw that it was Michelle.

“The green snake is calling.”

She picked it up and Michelle’s soft and gentle tone nearly made her puke.

“Selene, I’ve been trying to call you for the past hour but you weren’t picking up. I also texted you but you didn’t reply to any of my texts. I was worried that something worse might have happened to you, are you okay over there?” Michelle asked. She made sure her tone seemed like that of a person who cared about another.

Selene copied her tone too, sounding weak and gentle as she replied, “I was asleep and I just saw the call right now.”

“How is your leg? Should I come over to your house? I want to take care of you,” said Michelle. She had just realized that she didn’t know Selene’s address or much about her yet. Except her name and that she wasn’t Anastasia.

On the other hand, Selene had to cover the speaker of her phone before she pretended to barf.

“How does she not get irritated with her voice? Can she not hear herself?” Selene wondered before she released the speaker.

“I’m not at home,” she lied. She couldn’t afford to have Michelle come to Xavier’s mansion and see her there. “I went directly to a friend’s place. She helped me with my leg,” she added.

“I see,” Michelle hummed from over the phone, her expression disgusted with what she was going to say next. “How about I pick you up from your friend’s place and we will go to the Wallace mansion?” She suggested.

When Michelle had first met Selene, she only wanted to be closer to her so that she could find out if she was Anastasia or not. But now that she knows that Selene isn’t Anastasia, she needs to still be on good terms with her so that Selene won’t start suspecting her of sabotaging her shoes earlier.

‘Wallace mansion,’ Selene thought.

“Would it be alright if we went there?” She wondered. She had not spoken with or heard from any of the Wallace family after old Wallace’s birthday party. And she couldn’t help but feel pressured when she heard their names. They were still her inlaws after all.

“Of course, there’s no problem at all. I’m their daughter-in-law after all and you are my friend. I’m sure they would love to see you again,” Michelle responded.

Selene gave it some thought, wondering if she should inform Xavier about it but then remembered she was ignoring him. Instead, she decided to text Kace about it after the call.

“Sure, I would love to see them again,” Selene replied.
