My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 61

Where Is She?
Edna and Miranda exchanged bewildered glances before their eyes settled on Michelle.

Edna and Miranda had only seen Michelle in passing, usually hanging out with Selene. They never paid much attention to her before and certainly didn’t know the extent of her relationship with Selene.

But now, with Michelle standing before them, her eagerness to be part of a plan to ruin Selene’s image was unsettling. They couldn’t help but exchange wary glances, their confusion turning into suspicion.

“Aren’t you Selene’s friend?” Edna asked Michelle.

“If I was Selene’s friend, would I be here wanting to be a part of your plans to ruin her?” Michelle questioned her back, a smirk on her lips.

“But why would you want Selene to be raped and all that? Did she do something to you?” Miranda was the one to ask this time around.

“She did,” Michelle replied.

Since Richard had failed in his task of doing what she had asked of him two days ago, she didn’t mind at all if the two people before her would be of good help.

Michelle had never associated herself with both Edna and Miranda, so her feelings towards them were quite neutral as well.

Edna and Miranda shared another look for the nth time, wondering if they should involve Michelle in their plans.

If they didn’t, she might go to the director and threaten to tell him everything she had heard from their room.

They gave it some thought.

“Alright, Michelle. It seems that Selene has angered you, which is why you are involving yourself in something like this,” said Miranda, stretching out her hand to seal their partnership in their evil plan towards Selene.

Michelle shook her hands.

“Indeed she has,” Michelle replied. She also shook Edna’s hands before they settled on the couch to discuss more on the plan.

A few hours later, everyone was all dressed up for the party. Even when it wasn’t a huge party, everyone still dressed elegantly as if they were going to a gala.

Selene gazed at her reflection in the mirror, admiring the elegant white dress that graced her figure. It wasn’t too long or too short, ending just below her knees and perfectly highlighting her long legs.

She paired it with white heels that made her two inches taller.

Satisfied with how she looked in the mirror, Selene stepped out of her room and headed towards where the party was held.

When she reached, she found her colleagues already starting to have fun. But not everyone had arrived, the place wasn’t filled yet.

Selene went to where Kace and co were. She ordered some drinks and gulped everything down in one go.

“Maybe you should take it easy on the drink,” Liam commented when he saw how fast she was drinking.

“I’m on vacation okay, I’m supposed to have fun,” she replied, gulping down another drink.

Liam glanced at Kace and the latter could only sigh.

‘Your husband had better come here quickly and take care of you himself,’ Kace thought to himself before he snatched the third glass from Selene’s hand.

“You do know you are not supposed to be drinking that much, right?” He asked her, keeping the glass aside.

“Of course,” said Selene. Selene’s eyes scanned the room until they landed on Michelle, who stood beside Edna and Miranda. She instantly recognized the two girls as the ones she had overheard gossiping about her on set the other day.

‘What is she doing with them?’ She wondered, her brows furrowing.

Kace followed her gaze, and it also landed on Michelle with the two girls.

Selene had already informed him about the argument they had, so he recognized them immediately.

Both Kace and Selene shared a look but Selene shrugged her shoulders, as if ready for whatever they were planning against her.

Director Jeunes came and made another announcement regarding the party. Since it was a vacation party, they were allowed to drink as much as they wanted. They still had two more days to recover from the hangover, so he didn’t bother to stop them from wasting their lives a little that evening.

Selene fetched her phone from her purse, anxiously checking for any messages from Xavier. There was still nothing. He hadn’t contacted her since that morning, and now it was already evening.

Her shoulder dropped in disappointment.

‘What was I thinking? He’s not in love with me,’ she thought to herself, putting the phone back into her pocket. She took the glass of drink Kace had snatched from her and gulped it down.

Selene searched for Martha, but didn’t find her around.

“Where’s Martha?” She asked Liam.

“She said she was sick so she couldn’t attend the party,” he replied while Selene nodded in understanding.

—

A man, more than six feet tall walked through the hallway, his elegance attracting so much attention towards him from the villa staff and other celebrities who were around. But he didn’t pay any attention to them.

As soon as the staff recognized him to be their boss, they immediately looked away and focused more on their work.

Xavier continued to walk, then stopped when he got to a particular door.

He brought out a spare key he took from a staff member and opened the door. He stepped in, but was greeted with darkness and a familiar weird scent.

He inhaled it a few times, before he recognized the scent. It was an aphrodisiac scent. It is used to turn people on for intimacy.

He frowned deeply, covering his nose so that he wouldn’t perceive any more of the sweet scent.

He searched for the light switch. He turned it on.  He found the room empty with not a single soul inside. He searched the bathroom as well but couldn’t find her either.

Xavier left the room to make a phone call and search for Selene at the same time.

Unfortunately, Selene didn’t pick up his call. Xavier gritted his teeth. He tried her number a few more times but it resulted in the same thing.

“Where is she?” He growled.
