My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 50

Stalked By Her Worst Nightmare
“What happened?” Selene questioned when they kept on looking at her with wide eyes. “Did the cats catch your tongues?”

“You only have the mouth to talk like this because you have the Wallace brothers by your side,” Miranda spat out of jealousy.

Since she started seeing Xavier at the set, bringing Selene food a few times, she had begun wearing even skimpier dresses, trying to catch his attention, but Xavier only had eyes on Selene which annoyed her because she believed Selene wasn’t even half as good-looking as her.

Selene smiled at Miranda’s words.

“Why? Are you jealous? Are the politicians whose beds you are warming not satisfying you enough?” She asked

Selene didn’t bother to hold back since the two didn’t hold back while they were talking to her.

She could hear murmurs from around them, but she didn’t care if it was a good or a bad comment. People were allowed to think what they wanted to think about her.

On the other hand, both Miranda and Edna were greatly offended by the words Selene spewed in them. They had thought she was an easy one to bully since she was always reserved and hung around Kace. But now, they didn’t even know how they were going to respond to her remarks.

“I will tell director Jeunes how you are mistreating us and have you fired from this movie. My family is a huge sponsor of this movie and I’m sure he will listen to what I say,” Edna threatened with an evil grin on her lips. Miranda also smirked, raising her chin in pride.

“No one is stopping you, go ahead.”

Edna’s ego was immediately hurt again. She clenched her fist in anger. She had been ready for Selene to bow down and immediately start pleading but instead, she got the opposite reaction.

“You are going to get it, Selene. I won’t forget what you did here today,” Edna threatened before she pulled Miranda with her and they both walked away.

Selene rolled their eyes before she went back to where she was sitting earlier.

Liam stared at her as she grabbed her bottled water and sipped from it, quenching her dry throat.

“What are you looking at me for?” Selene asked him.

“I never knew you had such a savage side in you,” said Liam.

“Well, what can I say? Sometimes you just need to remind people you are not as weak as they already presumed you to be,” she mumbled, making contact with Michelle for a second before the latter looked away.

“You might have to be careful around them though, I don’t think that threat was for nothing,” said Liam, worry etched on his face.

Martha came over, sitting beside them as they decided to forget about what had happened.

When their break had finished, they continued their scenes. A scene needed to be shot at night so everyone was completely exhausted when they finished.

Xavier had told her he would be the one to pick her up. When she texted him, he replied he was on his way. A smile crept on Selene’s face when she read his text.

“Aren’t you going home yet?” Liam asked her, peeking at her phone’s screen but didn’t get the chance to see whom she was texting because she quickly brought the phone to her chest.

“Someone is coming to pick me up,” she replied.

“Should I wait?” He offered but Selene shook her head vehemently. Liam wished her goodnight before he got into his car and left. Most of the crews were still around, arranging the cameras and setting things aside.

Selene decided to stroll out of the set.

Selene walked out of the gates of the set, she was on the streets. The moonlight cascaded a soft glow and the night breeze became chilly.

It was close to midnight. She hadn’t expected them to stay so late.

Selene sighed, rubbing her hands together to make them warm before she planted it on her face. She was wearing a sleeveless shirt with a thin jacket that couldn’t do anything to save her from the chilly night.

Selene walked a few distance into the street when she realized she had walked quite far from the set.

She sighed again, continuing her journey when she heard a sound from behind her.

Instinctively, her head turned to the source of the sound but she didn’t see anything.

The street lights weren’t so good so she had to fetch her cellphone and turn on the light before pointing it back at the direction the sound came from. She met with the same result, nothing.

Selene turned off her flashlight and shrugged.

She took a few more steps before she heard another step. The steps weren’t hers, they were coming from behind her.

Selene became cautious.

Without having to look back, she immediately started tapping on the wristwatch Kace gave her months ago when she was going to the Harrison family for the first time after she made an appearance with a different identity.

Inside his car, Xavier got a phone call from the phone Kace gave to him, in case Selene got into trouble and needed to tap on the wristwatch.

His heart jumped, fear gripping him as he stepped on the gas.

Selene wanted to ignore the sound of the footsteps that were following behind her but it was getting clearer as the unknown person neared her.

Taking a deep breath, she decided to turn and have a look at the person who was following her in the middle of the night.

Her eyes went wide in shock when they landed on the person stalking her.

“Richard,” she called, fear evident in her face as her eyes trembled.

“Oh, hi Selene! I saw that you were all by yourself and wanted to help you get home safely. You know it wouldn’t be nice for a good-looking lady like you to be wandering alone at night? What if something bad happened to you?” He asked her, his eyes sizing her up as a grin stretched on his lips.
