Chapter 89
Kace followed Allison everywhere possible, except the restroom. Growing increasingly tired of his constant presence, Allison decided to head to the set when it was time for Selene to shoot her last scene for the movie.
Kace had offered Allison a ride, but she immediately turned it down.
After reaching the set, Kace tried to engage Allison in some talks, but she simply shooed him away before entering Selene’s makeup.
Entering the room, Allison released a heavy sigh, prompting Natalie to give her a questioning look. Natalie didn’t have classes that day, which was why they hadn’t come together. Sensing Allison’s frustration, she raised an eyebrow, silently asking what was wrong.
“What the heck happened to you p>
“I was just able to escape a dog before it bit me,” she replied, her hand on her chest as she tried to breathe.
“OMG, are you okay? Did the dog chase you all the way here?” Natalie asked, about to step outside of the makeup room to see for herself.
“It sure did,” Allison replied.
Natalie looked outside, and all she could see were humans but no dogs.
“Maybe the dog ran away because I don’t see any dog,” she mumbled.
“I doubt it,” Allison sighed.
Allison suddenly felt this was her life now—avoiding Kace with all things possible. She couldn’t help but wonder why he was curious about her all of a sudden. Either way, she wanted him to stop but something bad happened.
’That jerk,’ she thought.
Selene walked inside the makeup room. She noticed how rough Allison looked and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay p>
“She was chased by a dog earlier,” Natalie didn’t hesitate to reply. Selene’s eyes widened in shock when she heard Allison. “But don’t worry, the dog is no longer on the set,” she added.
When they were done with Selene’s makeup and dress, she walked out of the makeup room, grabbing everyone’s attention as always.
This was her last scene for The Sinner.
Selene sighted Michelle ready as well, it was the scene where she would kill off Laila in the battle.
Selene lifted the sword, finding it surprisingly heavier than the ones she had carried before.
The acting was so smooth, and surprisingly, Michelle didn’t make any mistake with her lines at all, but she did look at Selene in a way that got the latter feel as if something was about to happen. Michelle had been too quiet lately.
She had started talking to the other crews as well, the people she was avoiding when she had shown her true colors.
Selene got her chance to stab Michelle in the chest as written in the script. She wouldn’t be plunging the sword into Michelle’s chest since it was a fake sword, but Selene was stunned when she saw blood running down Michelle’s chest.
“Ahh!!” Michelle screamed out in pain, falling to the ground.
Selene stared at Michelle who was already on the ground, her blood mixing with the sand.
“What just happened?” Selene heard someone ask.
Immediately, she threw the sword away, already understanding that the sword she was given was a real one. If she hadn’t controlled her strength earlier, she could have stabbed Michelle in the chest and killed her.
“Michelle!” Selene called while others rushed towards them. “Stay with me,” she added when she saw Michelle about to close her eyes.
“She’s dying,” someone mumbled from beside Selene.
Immediately, Michelle was lifted and taken to the hospital.
Selene went to her makeup room to quickly change her clothes so that she could follow them but Kace stopped her.
“Where are you going?” He questioned her.
“What do you mean by where am I going? Of course, I’m going to follow them to the hospital. Michelle got hurt,” she replied about leaving but Kace stopped her again.
“Instead of following them to the hospital, I suggest you stay here and figure out where you were given a real sword instead of a fake one,” said Kace.
Selene blinked at him, before looking around to find some of the cast and crew glancing at her.
“It’s pretty obvious Michelle is the one who had the swords changed, Selene. She hadn’t spoken or threatened you for a long time, this must be what she had been planning,” he added.
“Will Michelle put herself in that kind of danger just to have her revenge on me?” Selene wondered.
When she remembered whom she was dealing with was Michelle, who plotted with two actresses to have her raped at the villa, the same Michelle who beat her up with their parents which led her into having a miscarriage.
“She is capable,” she answered her question. “She’s very much capable of hurting herself just to get what she wants. Now, everyone is going to think I switched the swords to get my revenge on her for what she did at the villa,” she added.
“Exactly! So, it’s best you don’t go to the hospital now. It might only make matters worse. Although, I doubt Michelle isn’t going to make it worse since you won’t be present there to defend yourself,” said Kace.
He stared around, finding Liam and Martha walking towards them.
“Selene, are you okay?” Liam asked her, hoping she didn’t get a scratch from what had happened.
Selene nodded. “I’m good p>
“That’s great,” said Martha. “I hope I’m not the only one thinking what I’m thinking.” She stared at the three of them.
“You are not the only one, Martha,” said Selene. “I felt the weight of the sword earlier but didn’t think too much about it. Who could have thought that Michelle would stoop so low just just so that she could hurt me,” she added, with a sigh.
All of a sudden, Selene got a phone call from director Jeunes. She sighed again before picking up the call. Her face formed a big frown when she heard him speak, then they cut off the call.
“Michelle wants to see me at the hospital,” she informed them.
