While packing my luggage at home to join the production, I suddenly received news that the female lead had been replaced.
In a hurry, I rushed to the company to demand an explanation, but due to low blood sugar, my vision went black and I passed out on the spot.
When I woke up in the hospital, my assistant angrily handed me the phone:
The Legend of Diana’s production team had officially announced:
"95-born rising star Lucia Zane as the purest yet most seductive Diana in history, alongside her real-life devoted protector, King Zion, David Lincoln!"
In the photo, the two of them were smiling affectionately. And those two people were none other than my cheating husband and his mistress.
David gently wrapped his arm around Lucia’s waist, while she clung to his side like a human accessory.
Overcome with emotion, I immediately left a comment:
"Is the director filming The Legend of Diana or The Legend of Homewreckers? It’s also said David is Lucia’s devoted protector. Has he asked his wife, Saveline, about that?"
It wasn’t long before my phone started ringing. David was calling.
"Saveline, are you crazy? How many times have I told you, my relationship with Lucia is just for work! Don't you understand? Huh?"
Tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes as I choked out, "Why does your relationship hype have to come at the cost of my job?"
——
There was a brief hesitation on the other end of the line. “You were the original female lead of The Legend of Diana?”
Then, he added in a casual tone, “Lucia has liked the character of Diana since she was a child, so I helped her fight for the role. I didn’t know you were the original cast. Besides, your expressions are so stiff. You’re not suited for the role of Diana at all. I’m actually saving your acting career.”
“Oh, and hurry up and post a statement online saying you’re just a hater making things up for clout.”
I was so furious that I laughed. At that moment, I realized that my ten-year relationship was nothing but a joke.
He didn’t even know what his own wife was working on, yet he held Lucia’s dreams so dearly in his heart.
“Why should I do that?”
"Saveline, does our ten-year relationship mean nothing to you? Can’t you trust me, even a little? I’ve told you so many times that Lucia and I are just in a mutually beneficial partnership. She’s just a young girl; what kind of trouble could she possibly cause? I promise you, she will never threaten your position as my wife."
But how could he forget?
Once upon a time, I was also the young girl he wanted to protect in every way.
I sobbed through my tears. "David, I passed out from low blood sugar and hit my head on the coffee table. I'm in the hospital getting stitches right now… My head hurts so much."
"Saveline, just post a clarification. It’s just moving your fingers, why can’t you do such a small thing for me?"
He paused for a moment before snapping in anger. "I provide you with the best food and drinks, how could you possibly have low blood sugar? You’re unbelievably stupid. You can’t even lie properly without leaving loopholes."
At that moment, my heart sank to the deepest abyss. Tears streamed down uncontrollably.
For the first time in ten years, I was the one to hang up on David.
Unwilling to give up, he called again almost immediately. Without hesitation, I declined the call.
Soon, his message popped up.
[Saveline, can you be a little more rational? Lucia is crying because of you now. Her fans are threatening to cyberbully you, but I’ve managed to suppress it. Hurry to the set and apologize to her in public and we’ll put this matter to rest.]
I was so enraged by David’s shamelessness that I actually laughed.
Why should I, the legally recognized wife, apologize to a mistress who knowingly got involved with a married man?
I replied with a single sentence: [And what if I say no? What do you plan to do then?]
Then, without waiting for a response, I tossed my phone onto the hospital bed and headed downstairs to the pharmacy to get my medication.
