Selene noticed Michelle ring hard at her back. If only stares could kill, she was sure she would be six feet under already.


    Not minding Michelle’s re, Selene went to change her clothes. She wasn’t going to be part of the next scene and she needed to feel lighter.


    She was sure that the dress weighed at least half her weight.


    The p she had justnded hard on Michelle’s cheeks wasn’t nned but her hands had been itching to p her in the face. And she grabbed the opportunity immediately.


    After changing her clothes, Michelle was already acting in her second scene where she pleaded with King Ardine not to send her out of the pce, so she lies that she is pregnant.


    Michelle seemed to be in a trance since she made a few mistakes with her line a few times, messing the whole thing up.


    "I think the p has loosened her screws even more," Selene whispered to Kace and thetter snickered.


    The director became quite annoyed with Michelle making the mistakes repeatedly. He was starting to run out of patience.


    "Michelle!" He screamed over the microphone. Instantly, the people near him covered their ears. "When he pushes you down, you need to fall hard. This is the fifth take already, Michelle, what is wrong with you?" He questioned her, his eyes ring at her.


    Michelle hissed under her breath. This was the first time she was getting humiliated and the director was only making the whole thing worse by yelling at her. She tried to fall as hard as possible, but the director wasn’t satisfied.


    "Michelle!!" Director Jeunes warned.


    Michelle’s eyesnded on Selene who was surprisingly giving her an encouraging smile. But in the eyes of Michelle, Selene was simply mocking her.


    Michelle stood up. Both she and Liam repeated the scene onest time, and she fell the way the director wanted her to. But she ended up getting her elbow bruised.


    "And that’s a wrap for today’s shoot," the director yelled over the microphone, again, nearly deafening the people near him.


    Selene walked towards Michelle. Thetter was cing an ice pack on her bleeding elbow, she felt she was being mistreated in the set.


    "Michelle," Selene called with a smile on her lips. Mia saw Selene and instantly hissed.


    "Anastasia, Michelle is not in the mood to see you right now. Can you just leave?" Mia red at Selene which shocked thetter, her eyes went to Michelle with a questioning eyebrow.


    Michelle facepalmed herself when she heard Mia speak. Thetter was going to spoil her ns.


    "You haven’t told your assistant that I’m not your sister, Anastasia?" Selene asked.


    Michelle gritted her teeth as she cursed Mia under her breath.


    "You suddenly disappeared then reappeared with a new name and you think everyone won’t know that you are Anastasia. You need to—"


    "I would advise you to watch your tongue as you talk with Selene," Kace warned from behind Selene as he red at Mia who suddenly felt like she couldn’t breathe anymore. "She doesn’t have to prove anything to you and if you don’t believe she is who she says she is, the least you can do is zip your mouth," he added.


    Instinctively, Mia mped her mouth shut as she lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact with Kace.


    Kace always looked like someone everyone could get along with. But when he wasn’t smiling anymore, he looked like a predator.


    "Mia, get out," Michelle ordered her assistant. Thetter opened and closed her mouth to protest before she left when no words came out.


    Turning to Selene, Michelle apologized to her, "I’m sorry for what my assistant said to you earlier. I don’t know why she doesn’t want to believe that you are not Anastasia. I’ve told her multiple times."


    "Honestly, Michelle. In my opinion, your assistant is only saying what you are feeding her," said Kace, his smile on his lips again but it didn’t reach his eyes as he continued to speak to Michelle. "If she doesn’t believe that Selene isn’t Anastasia, it only means that you don’t believe she isn’t Anastasia and you two must have been talking bad about her."


    Now, it was Michelle’s turn to re at Kace.


    "Selene is my friend, I would never talk bad about her," Michelle tried to defend herself.


    "Keep saying it until you believe it," Kace replied.


    Michelle red at Kace, "And what’s that supposed to mean?"
