The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1991

As the male lead and the character portrayed by Clara, Quincy, strolled down Main Street, the leading actress burst out of the corner café and gave Quincy a resounding slap, "Dante, didn't you say you were in a meeting? And who is this woman?"

Clara, who had just been struck hard, felt a surge of indignation. The leading actress went for real, huh? It was just an audition after all; why the need for such force?

Rubbing her stinging cheek, Clara fired back with her lines as irritation colored her voice, "Who the heck are you? What's this craziness about? Why did you hit me?"

"Who am I?" The actress pointed at the male lead, "I'm Dante's wife and we were officially married and registered! You’ve got no shame by cozying up a married man, you homewrecker!"

Clara glanced at the male lead, her demeanor unshaken and defiant, "What does a marriage certificate count? He told me he doesn't love you. The one who isn't loved is the real homewrecker!"

Ivy, in the control room, watched the unfolding drama on set.

Clara's performance in other roles had been mediocre at best, but she was convincingly detestable when she was acting as a mistress.

The actors Quinton had brought in for Ivy were professionals, and despite knowing this was just a rehearsal, their commitment to the craft was evident.

Tears glistened in the leading actress's eyes as she glared at the male lead, "Is what she's saying true? I’m asking you, Dante! Now you said you don’t love me, but have you forgotten how you begged me when you were courting me?"
