As the final scene wrapped up, applause erupted, across the set. The cast and crew gathered to praise the incredible performances, particularly commending Rose, Leon, and Lily. Director Young stepped into the center of the room, his face glowing with pride. Clearing his throat, he called for everyone’s attention. 

“Everyone, listen up!” he began, his voice filled with excitement. “Today marks the end of an incredible journey. I couldn’t be prouder of how smoothly everything went. Your hard work and dedication have made. this movie possible, and I thank each one of you for that. To celebrate, I’m hosting a private party tonight. Every single person involved in this project is invited. Let’s make it a night to remember!” 

Cheers and laughter filled the air as the announcement was met with enthusiasm. 

Meanwhile, Lily found herself surrounded by admiration and praise. Many on set couldn’t believe this was her first film. Her performance had been so nuanced and natural that even seasoned actors paled in comparison. Some crew members took photos with her, while others asked for autographs, convinced that she was destined to become the next big star. 

Whispers spread across the set, comparing Lily’s raw talent to her sister Rose’s polished yet! 

performance. For some, it was clear that Lily’s portrayal had outshone her sister’s, leaving Rose’s acting feeling lackluster in comparison. 

These murmurs did not go unnoticed by Rose. Though she tried to maintain her composure, the constant chatter about Lily’s brilliance and her own diminishing shine grated on her nerves. Deep down, she knew the truth–the accolades Lily was earning now were built on the foundation of her previous deceit. After all, in the past, it had been Lily’s hidden talent that bolstered Rose’s fame. 

Now, as she watched Lily bask in the spotlight, resentment boiled within her. Gritting her teeth, she glared at her sister with a venomous intensity, wishing she could turn back time to reclaim the fame she believed was rightfully hers. 

Lily, sensing the weight of the glare, turned to find Rose staring at her with a dark expression. A sly smile spread across her lips as she walked closer. 

“Jealous?” Lily asked, her tone light but laced with mockery, 

Rose fought to mask her anger, forcing a sweet smile. “Jealous? Of what, dear sister?” she replied, her voice dripping with feigned innocence. 

Lily chuckled softly, shaking her head at the act. “Isn’t it ironic, Rose?” 

“What are you talking about?” 

“This movie,” Lily said, tilting her head. “It’s such a perfect reflection of us, don’t you think? Except, of course, our roles have been reversed.” Her voice was calm, but her words cut deep. “You know, when I first realized the family I trusted had betrayed me, all I could think about was revenge. The destruction of the Miller Family became my sole focus.” 

Rose’s fists clenched tightly at her sides as she struggled to keep her temper in check. “You-” 

Lily interrupted with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with calculated intent. “To be honest, I fantasized about getting my revenge in the simplest way possible–taking a gun and wiping you all out, the same way you destroyed me.” She paused, letting her words sink in, then quickly added. “But unlike you, I have my limits. I’m not so vile as to take lives. Life isn’t a movie, after all. Not everything can play out so dramatically.” 

Her words hung in the air sharm and cold as she tumed on her heel and walked away leaving Rose

seething, her forced smile finally cracking into a scowl. 

Rose stared at Lily with a feigned calmness, her lips curling into a subtle smile “What exactly are you trying to say, Lily?” she asked, her tone even but laced with sarcasm Glancing around to ensure no one was paying too much attention, she continued, “You keep talking about revenge, don’t you? Days have passed since you first threatened me, and yet here I am, standing perfectly fine in front of you. Where’s this grand revenge you keep promising?” 

Her smirk widened as she added mockingly, “Didn’t you brag about your husband being powerful and wealthy? A man who’d supposedly help you carry out your so–called vengeance? Then why haven’t we seen him? Are you hiding him because he’s old and unattractive? Or maybe 

“Rose!” Lily’s voice sliced through the air, cold and commanding. The sudden shift in her tone sent shivers down Rose’s spine. Lily stepped closer, her eyes locked onto her sister’s, unflinching and intense. “My husband is the most handsome, capable, and remarkable man in the world. No one, least of all you, compare to him. Don’t you dare speak of him like that again.” 

Rose rolled her eyes, feigning disinterest. “If he’s as amazing as you claim, then prove it. Bring him to the party tonight.” 

Lily tilted her head, a slow, confident smile spreading across her face. “Is that a challenge? 

“It is Rose replied smugly, certain she’d struck a nerve. 

“Fine, Lily said, her voice unwavering. “He’ll be there. Turning on her heel, she started to walk back to join the rest of the group. But then, she stopped mid–step, pivoted, and strolled back toward Rose. 

Before Rose could react, Lily pulled her into an embrace. The unexpected gesture startled her, and her body stiffened. For anyone watching, it appeared to be a sisterly hug–a public show of affection. But the tension between them told a different story. 

Patting Rose’s back lightly, Lily leaned in close, her lips brushing against her sister’s ear as she whispered. “Relax, Rose, I’m not going to do anything to you… yet.”
