The Scandal

"I didn't push her! You have to believe me" Her hands trembled, the dark patches of her eyeliner was already running down her face. She tried to hold unto him hoping that deep down somewhere he believes what she is saying.

But instead, His legs rammed straight at her pushing her out of the way, before picking up his beloved that was on the floor with a pale face. Seeing the blood on his Palms, he throat tightened.

"Don't blame her, She did not do it purposely" The lady in his arms tried to speak up.

"Even after all that she has done to you, You are still speaking up for her. What about the baby, What if you lose the baby!" He rammed his fist on the wall.

Hearing the words 'Pregnant' the Woman on the floor covered her lips. She slowly stood up from the floor and carefully dusted out the dirts on her dress.

"What do you think that you are doing?!" The man turned and glared at her but only saw a scrowl on her lips.

"Instead of thinking of several ways to kill me, Don't you think that you are supposed to take your beloved to the hospital?... Ahhh," She touched her belly laughing out loudly, she stopped and raised her head to look at them, "Or is the bastard child in her belly not so important to you" She pushed her hair back and looked at the two.

"I really don't know how you two spell your own shameless. You cheated on me your Wife and you went as far as getting her pregnant." The more she thought about it, the more her eyes reddened.

Without thinking she rushed to them and pushed her off his arms dragging her out, Her eyes glared with fiery, "Since you said I pushed you. Why don't I push you for real this time around"

"What are you doing?! Let go of me!"

"Stop! Cut!!" A voice yelled through the microphone as the 3 actors stopped and turned to around to face him.

"Gelly! You are a Seductress! The Mistress! You are supposed to cry, look pitiful no matter what the real wife does to you. Cry in his arms remember!!"" The Director slammed his hands on the table while admonishing her.

This is the fifth retake, and she couldn't even take the simplest correction.

Gelly bowed her head, "Director, I'm sorry!"

"If you are sorry then act well! Why are you glaring at Isabella instead of looking pitiful! I really don't know what I was doing when I accepted you to join the crew. We will take a short break!" He kicked the chair away and walked out while bringing out a cigarette from his trouser pocket.

"Do you have a lighter?" He turned to his assistant who immediately handed him a lighter.

The whole crew was silent as no one dared to say a word. Just as the Director left, they all sighed.

Lizzy hurriedly walked up to Isabella and covered her with the jacket, "If she can't act, then she should just leave the crew. Why is she making it hard for others" Lizzy muttered resentfully.

Isabella turned to her and knocked her, "Ouch!" Lizzy raised her eyes.

"There is no need to involve yourself in things like this. The Director will take care of it."

Lizzy rolled her eyes, not knowing why Isabella has never involved herself in things like this after they've provoked her countless number times, "If you say so. I brought your lunch."

"No calories right? I have to lose weight if I want to be in Director Jeans drama" Isabella muttered and walked towards her nanny car.

"Senior Isabella" A soft voice called from behind.

Lizzy rolled her eyes, "Miss Gelly, What's the matter?" She turned around and asked her but Isabella patted her shoulder lightly to stop her from exploding.

"Miss Gelly." She turned and faced Gelly calmly.

Gelly rubbed her hands while biting her lips without speaking.

"Miss Gelly, we only have a little break and I can't spend it just standing here with you" Isabella reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Gelly bowed her head continuously and it was as if the tears that she has been holding back fell from her eyes without resistance.

"Bitch!" Lizzy really couldn't take it anymore as she realized that the rest of the crew was already looking at them."Bella, let's go"

Gelly bit her lips and finally spoke up while still staring at the ground "I just want you to help me master my next scene since I had so many retakes"

Isabella placed her face not knowing what to say, "I also want to help you but you are already making so many of us to stay under the snow having so many retakes. This is my only chance to rest and eat. I'm sorry but I can't help you" She refused bluntly while at the same time stating the reason why they are in the situation that they are in right now is because of Gelly.

In that way, no one will have to blame her for refusing. And just as she expected, The staff nodded, agreeing to her words.

But before they realized it, Gelly was already kneeling on the floor.

"Oh my God! Miss why are you kneeling" Gelly's assistant hurried over and helped her stand up but she didn't forget to glare at the said culprit.

"Why are staring at us like that?!" Once again Lizzy couldn't take it and confronted her directly.

"She only wanted to ask you for help but you have to go as far as making her kneel! Everyone know you as a pure goddess but you are nothing but a Whore!" Gelly's assistant stood in front of Gelly while facing Lizzy who also stood in front of Isabella.

"Ha!" Lizzy scoffed, "A whore?! Are you talking about your actor. Instead of her to go and harness her acting skills, she is looking for who will get into her trap and be her steps to success!" She fired back without mincing words at all.

"Lizzy, Take it easy on her" Isabella reminded her but didn't plan on stopping her.

"How dare you?!" Sharon, Gelly's assistant pointed at her with trembling fingers.

"What can't I dare? Or is what I said not true?"

"You will regret this!" Sharon glared at her before leaving with Gelly in a stiff posture.

"Let's go! We've gotten rid of them" She turned to Isabella who nodded and went into the nanny car.

Lizzy switched on the car heater and brought out the food. Seeing all the delicacies in front of her, Isabella frowned and turned to Lizzy, "Does Sebastian know about this?"

"Of course, He asked me to buy you something with high calories that's why there is enough meat and drinks. Maybe it will be your last before you start dieting again" Lizzy handed the spoon.

"You know it's not fun going to the gym early in the morning. So I will pass this once in a Century feast"

"But... He told me to make sure that you eat it or my salary will be deducted." Lizzy pouted.

"You eat my food, sleep in my house and even use my card but you still care about your little salary?" Isabella knocked her lightly.

"I have to send money back home, my brother is getting married and my mother asked me to send money back home"

Hearing about her family again, Isabella nodded and started eating, "Don't you think it's high time for you to let your brother do his own thing?" Isabella dropped the spoon after taking two bites.

Lizzy smiled and helped her remove the bones in the chicken "I should help him, I'm his elder sister."

"What about you? Who cares and takes care of you?"

"You of course" Lizzy raised her head and smiled at her brightly.

"You should eat the rest. I'm not hungry" Bella adjusted her seat before closing her eyes.

"When it's time don't forget to wake me up" She reminded Lizzy who nodded and helped her adjust the blanket before closing the car to avoid anyone from disturbing her.

When Isabella opened her eyes again, It was darkness that greeted her. She slowly sat up and tried to look out but apart from hearing a vague voices of people arguing the whole place was dark.

"Lizzy," She called out while moving her hands around trying to get her phone. When she located it, she hurriedly turned on the flashlight and opened the car door.

"Lizzy" She called again but didn't get any reply.

A staff walked past over, "Lizzy is over there with the Director and your Manager" The staff said she walked away.

"Thank you" She appreciated in a hurry and ran over to that side.

Getting closer she could see Lizzy swearing and cussing out at someone, Sebastian trying to calm her down, The Director who looks exhausted, Gelly who is breaking down in tears and her assistant that is consoling her.

"What's the matter?" She got closer and asked.

"Bella you are awake" Lizzy walked over to her.

"Did something happen?" Isabella asked again.

"About that time in the evening that this bitch came to you for help,"

"What about it?" Isabella raised her flashlight.

"She posted an edited video online and made it look as if you were bullying her!" Lizzy reported.

"What?!" Isabella raised her phone high enough to flash directly at Gelly.

"Are you Crazy?!"
