I’m Dedicated To You

CHAPTER 76: THE SET-UP



“Are you sure you are okay GG?” Kira asked me for the umpteenth time while we were on set for my movie shoot and I nodded my head that I am okay but the truth is I am not really okay. I mean who would be okay after hearing that they are going to meet someone dangerous and someone is also going to die.

“Can they stop acting so awkward?”Kira lamented and I looked at the crew members that have been giving me side glances and also been gossiping about me and I wondered why my life has been so complicated recently.

“The set would have been peaceful if someone hasn’t decided to flaunt her husband”I heard Belinda says walking towards me and her heels making weird noises I wondered if I should advise her to get good shoes instead of buying knockoff and know she is trying to irk me but I am not going to give her the pleasure.

“But I didn’t see you as someone that will sleep around to climb the social ladder,” she says, facing the crew members and also some of the supporting actors on set. I heard gasps from people around and I saw a smile of satisfaction on her lips.

“You…”Kira was about to say but I cut her off.

“If sleeping with my husband is sleeping around then I am a whore”I say like a b***h that I am “but what about you Belinda how many rich young masters have you been involved with just this year alone?”I asked her lazily not even having the slightest strength to debate with her and I saw people also casting disgusting stares at her but that was the least of my worries

“I think I should address this, “I said standing up from my seat and everyone looked at me.

“I am sorry about what happened the other week it’s not in my intention to cause a ruckus on the set and about the rumors circulating among you guys I am afraid to say it’s the truth because I have been married to Bradley for a while now, “I say proud of myself and I hear people murmured among themselves and I let them digest it before I continue.

“I hope there won’t be any raised topic about it again I just want to work in a free non-sentimental environment so, I hope you guys won’t feel pressured or burdened while working with me, “I say but I heard someone clapping behind me and when I turn I saw director Reynold and Bernard.

“Well said I am starting to get afraid of how to caution the wife of mighty Bradley Hale but with what you just said then I am relieved,” director Reynold says jokingly and I smiled after we exchange pleasantries he says me and Bernard should go to the dressing room to change because we are shooting the first scenes where the male lead and the female lead met.

“director Reynold, what about my scene?” I heard Belinda on my way to the room and I just shook my head at how she can be quite the bootlicker.

“Wow, I don’t know Georgina can act mighty like that”Manager Bee says looking at the retreating back of Georgina chatting and laughing with Bernard.

“Leave her to me Bee because I am going to tarnish her image soon” the artist Manager Bee is managing says.

“You can’t mess with Jessie, you know she is the wife of Bradley Hale after all”Manager Bee says.

“My family is also powerful so, I don’t think Bradley will try to offend them because of a woman,” Jessie says, casting a look at manager Bee. She gives her the trust to look at and she acknowledges her.

The movie shoot has been going on for days now and all I can say it’s that it has been hectic but I enjoy every bit of it because I haven’t been on set for a while now.

“Did you care for water?”I heard someone say while I was resting at one secluded place in the building because they weren’t shooting my scene yet and Kira was helping me with my make-up touch-up.

“Thank you, “I say, collecting the water from Bernard’s assistant, who I later know to be James.

“You and Bernard have good onscreen chemistry and even the netizen are talking about it, “James says referring to the chocolate ads shoot we did the other day I just laughed because I am signing off any discussion that has to do with men these days I don’t want to meet any dangerous men like the woman predicted.

“But I don’t think your husband will like it,” he says and I wondered why the discussion is rolling to my husband.

“My husband is a supportive man and he respects my decision of being an actress so, I don’t think he is going to have any thoughts about what you just mentioned, “I say cutting him off not wanting him to disrespect my husband and he apologized for his actions leaving me and Kira.

“Why are you on edge these days GG?”Kira asked me and I also can’t deny that I have been acting quite bitchy lately but I just told her that I am fine and it’s nothing.

“If you are going to ask me I think this is the hundredth time you are checking your phone today, “Kira says and I just sighed heavily wondering why I haven’t gotten any calls, not even text messages from my husband ever since he went on a business trip to Ball city.

“I will go and check if it’s your turn soon,” Kira says standing up leaving me alone and I kept glancing at my phone waiting for it to buzz up with a notification from my husband but I saw nothing forthcoming and I wondered if he forgot about me yet. It really must be great to be a popular actress”Manager Bee’s artist who hasn’t bothered to get her name even though she is acting as one of my friends in the movie.

“Yeah that’s why you have to work hard and be ready to do anything to make yourself relevant”I advised her like a good senior in the industry but I noticed she was holding a strawberry shake in her hand and I wondered if she liked it but I brushed it off since I don’t care.

“Yeah we should be able to do anything to make us relevant even if it means stepping on others to get there,” she says and I felt a hidden meaning to that but before I can dwell on it a message notification lit my phone up and I quickly opened thinking it’s going to be my husband but the message content shocked me to the bone.

“Hi I hope you haven’t missed me too much, I will make sure we will be together soon”I read the message from the unknown number and I felt cold.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Why is he messaging me now after a very long time, “I thought and I felt my palm sweaty but my moment of fear didn’t last before I heard a loud shriek and when I turn to the inception of the noise I saw the Manager Bee’s artist soaked in the strawberry shake she was holding earlier and I looked at her in shock at what the in the world she is doing.

“I am sorry I don’t mean to offend you I just thought I should….” she was saying and I wondered what was happening but people started trooping into the place because of the noise they heard and they met the soaking wet girl on the floor crying.
