My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 55

Caught At The Worst Time
Selene arrived at the mansion. She couldn’t contain her joy when Michelle had invited her to the Harrison mansion, claiming that she was worried about her when she didn’t see her at the set.

At first, Selene wondered why Michelle would want them to meet at the Harrison mansion in the first place since they could meet somewhere else. Even though she was glad she finally got a chance to search her father’s study room, she still needed to be careful since she was in the enemy’s territory.

Michelle welcomed Selene in, hugging her tightly like two best friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long while and Selene reciprocated the hug.

Amelia came to welcome Selene, hugging her as well.

Michelle had mentioned over the phone that her mother wanted to see her if it was possible so that they could chat about a few things together. They didn’t get the time to talk since Xavier had barged in and taken her away in the middle of dinner.

“Selene, my dear, I’m so glad that you are okay. Michelle told me you didn’t come to the set today and I needed to know how you were doing,” said Amelia with a huge smile on her face.

“Ahh… it’s nothing, Mrs Harrison. I just had an unbearable cramp,” she replied, which wasn’t a total lie. Surprisingly, Mother Nature had visited her that morning.

Amelia nodded in understanding before welcoming Selene in.

The house looked empty and quiet, not a sight of the maids around which was a good thing since she wouldn’t have to worry about them much when she makes an excuse to go to the bathroom later.

Michelle hung on Selene’s hand, before she said, “It’s been a while since we last hung out. We have been so busy with the movie that we barely have time for each other.”

She looked disheartened by their lack of time to spend and catch up on things but deep down, only she knew how much her blood boiled.

She had invited Selene for a hang-out with the hope that she would be turned down, which only meant that Richard had done what she’d asked him to do. To rape her and take a video of it so that she wouldn’t dare report it to the police.

Michelle had been watching Selene closely at the set. She would smile at her phone whenever she received a text. She didn’t need to ask Selene personally to know that she and Xavier had something deep going on. It was evident in his actions of bringing flowers and food for her at the set.

Not only did that make her blood boil, but she felt the urge to skin Selene alive. Running her so-called reputation as a good actress so that she could get the spotlight again and have Xavier all to herself.

But when Selene agreed to meet, she knew instantly that Richard had failed in the mission she had given him. She wasn’t willing to hire a rapist who could threaten her later to extort more money when she had a rapist as a husband.

Since last night, she hasn’t seen Richard around. She didn’t know where he went to and he didn’t bother to inform her if he’d done the work or not.

Now, from the look of things, he failed. Michelle bit her tongue as she tried to control how angry she was.

On the other hand, Selene had no idea about what Michelle was thinking about. All her mind was on was whether she would be able to find the papers she was looking for when she would finally get the chance to go look for them.

“You are right! We have been really busy,” Selene replied.

Selene didn’t wonder too much why Richard wasn’t around. She already concluded he was too scared to show his face to her after Xavier had beat him up the previous night.

“So, what should we do first?” Michelle asked. She wasn’t expecting Selene to come, she didn’t prepare for anything.

“I have no idea. Maybe, you can give me tips on how to act so well on set,” Selene suggested.

Michelle felt anger surge through her body. The director was never satisfied with her acting no matter what. He always yelled at her. Hearing Selene ask for some tips from her made her feel insulted. But she forced a smile on her lips.

“I guess I’m a natural, but you are doing so well. Director Jeunes loves your acting so well, I bet you are his favorite,” Michelle replied.

Selene chuckled lightly.

“I’m pretty sure you are,” she responded. “Is your father around? I haven’t seen him since I arrived,” she added.

Michelle shook her head. “He’s still at work,” she replied.

‘Perfect.’

Michelle pulled Selene to her room so that they both would have some girly chat. Selene wasn’t interested in any of that but she still played along and formed a few lies about her life. About her life as a teenager and the death of her parents which meant she was an orphan. Then the boys she dated. Everything was a lie, but Michelle bought them without batting an eyelash.

After spending an hour chatting with Michelle while the latter showed off some of her designer clothes on her phone, she excused herself to go to the bathroom.

Keeping her steps as light as possible, she went in the direction of Robert’s study room.

She glanced around, not finding anyone in sight. She twisted the doorknob, and the door opened. She sighed in relief before going inside.

Immediately, she started her search around the study room. It was stacked with more files than the shelves in his office.

Selene hissed in annoyance when she couldn’t find the files. She was already wasting a lot of time and Michelle would start looking for her soon.

All of a sudden, Selene found a blue file. She opened the file, and read through what was written inside before a smile graced her lips.

Immediately, she hid it in her bag and headed out of the study room when she found Jack glaring at her.

“What are you doing here?” He questioned her.
