Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 304 Playing by Her Own Rules Sarah's POV: +8 Pearls My gaze fell on Rosaline's breathtakingly beautiful face, and the image of her and Jasper filming that kiss scene just moments ago was burned into my mind. A surge of jealousy flared within me, rising uncontrollably.

Rosaline-she's just a low-rank Omega. What gives her the right? My eyes turned cold before the actor playing the assistant could step in. Without hesitation, I raised my hand and slapped Rosaline hard across the face.

Smack! A sharp sound echoed through the set.

Rosaline froze for a moment.

I had used all my strength in that slap. A glaring red mark instantly marred her flawless makeup and delicate features.

"Cut!" Gordon's voice rang out loudly.

Everyone on set stared in shock.

"Sarah, what the hell was that? Why didn't you follow the script?" Gordon frowned, displeased.

I pressed my lips together and quickly responded, "Mr. Wood, I'm so sorry. I got too caught up in the role and let my emotions take over." I turned to Rosaline, putting on an apologetic expression. "Ms. Sinclair, I didn't mean it. I just wanted the scene to feel more real. I hope you don't mind." "Yes, Sarah is just very dedicated to her craft. She gets so immersed in her character that sometimes she goes a little overboard," Megan chimed in before Rosaline could even speak. She smiled earnestly. “Ms. Sinclair, I sincerely apologize on her behalf." Rosaline's POV: A stinging pain spread across my cheek, but I merely narrowed my eyes slightly.

Not intentional? Yeah, right.

The jealousy and hostility in Sarah's eyes had been crystal clear-I could feel it radiating off her.

But I had to admit, her performance was impressive.

After all, in the script, the fiancée-the board director-felt the sresentment toward Selina.

In a way, Sarah's improvisation made the scene even more compelling. That slap had fully captured the raw intensity of her character's emotions.

From how she phrased it, was she implying that my previous performances weren't good enough? Rosaline-this Omega-she doesn't play by the rules.

Looks like I underestimated her.

I had expected her to explode angrily after that slap, but instead, she publicly praised me.

Her 'generous' response would only make others assthat I had deliberately hit her to stir I clenched my fists tightly, suppressing the frustration bubbling inside me.

Fine. Let's see how this plays out.

I masked my emotions and said smoothly, "I'll do my best." up trouble.

Sensing that the situation had settled, Gordon stepped in to ease the tension. "Alright, let's move on. This scene is good-we're keeping it. Everyone, get ready for the next take. Jasper, you're up." As soon as Gordon called for the next shot, Jasper emerged, looking sharp in an impeccably tailored suit, stepping into position under the camera's lens. The other actors took their places as well.

"Everyone, make sure you're ready. Crew, have the blankets prepared. In this scene, Selina gets drunk at the banquet and is pushed into the lake by her fiancée, the board director. The Alpha steps in to rescue her, and the two passionately kiss in the water while the onlookers watch." After briefly explaining the scene, Gordon directed everyone to their designated spots.

At his cue, Rosaline staggered unsteadily toward the pavilion by the lake, feigning intoxication: Without warning, a small assistant approached her and shoved her straight into the water. Right on cue, Jasper dove in without hesitation to rescue her, setting the stage for their tic embrace and passionate kiss.

As the fiancée, my role in this scene was to stand at the forefront, watching everything unfold with a clear view.

Even though I knew the kiss was just an illusion created by clever camera angles, watching Jasper hotd Rosaline so tenderly stirred up a deep, uncontrollable jealousy inside me. I clenched my fists tightly. Even as my character seethed with rage, I had to maintain the composed elegance of an Alpha's fiancée and a high-ranking company board member.

Even when the director called 'Cut, my fists remained tightly clenched.

"You must be freezing. Here, put this on." Jasper took the blanket handed to him by a crew member and draped it gently over Rosaline's shoulders, his eyes filled with nothing but warmth and concern. "Thank you." Rosaline accepted it calmly before walking off to change into dry clothes.

Meanwhile, I remained rooted to the spot, my teeth grinding in frustration. My mind replayed the scene of Jasper gazing at Rosaline with such unshakable devotion. How dare she? She had just kissed Caden before everyone, and now she was still trying to seduce Jasper? Why won't Jasper even look my way? 638 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
