Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband 

Chapter 84 

Finished 

Stepping out of the room, Lily inhaled deeply, trying to steady her racing heart. The encounter with Ryan had left her shaken, and the mere memory made her skin crawl. “What an awful experience,” she muttered under her breath. If she could, she’d scrub herself clean right then and there. 

Hearing faint groans of pain from behind the door, a small smile tugged at her lips. “At least he’ll think twice before coming near me again.” 

Regaining her composure, Lily walked back to the set, her expression calm and composed as if nothing had happened. She took her seat, casually adjusting her costume. Moments later, she noticed Ryan limping into view, his face twisted with anger as he glared at her. His awkward gait nearly made her laugh, but she bit her lip to hold it back. 

Director Young soon approached her, script in hand. “Lily, let me brief you on the next scene.” 

He explained that the upcoming shot required her character, Stella, a mentally unstable older sister, to obsess over a mysterious man who had saved her life. Meanwhile, her younger sister would return home. with her boyfriend, introducing a contrasting emotional dynamic. 

Taking her position on set, Lily adjusted her mindset, ready to embody Stella. 

“Action!” Director Young’s voice boomed. 

In an instant, Lily transformed into Stella, her eyes wild with obsession and her voice sharp as a blade. 

“Did you find any information about him?” she barked at the trembling detective in front of her.. 

“No, Boss,” the actor playing the detective stammered. 

Stella’s face contorted with fury, “Nothing? After all this time, you still have nothing?” 

“I–I’m still trying. Boss,” the detective whimpered, his head bowed. 

Her voice dropped to a chilling calm. “Trying? I don’t need your excuses. I need results. You have two hours to find him–or consider your life forfeit.” 

The detective collapsed to his knees, his voice trembling. “Boss, please… give me more time. I’ll find him. I promise!” 

Stella smirked, her voice laced with mockery. “More time? Fine. Two hours and… a minute.” 

The man stayed frozen, staring at the ground, too terrified to respond. 

“What? Is that too generous? Should I reduce it?” Stella tilted her head, her smile cold. 

The detective frantically shook his head. 

“Good,” she said with finality. “Two hours and one minute. Now get out of my sight. Your face is testing my patience.” 

The man scrambled away, nearly tripping over himself in his haste. 

With a sigh, Stella dropped onto a velvet couch, her sharp demeanor softening as she clutched a pillow to 

her chest.

“Where are you, my love?” she murmured, her gaze distant and wistful. 

She closed her eyes, allowing herself to be swept away by fleeting fantasies of the mysterious man who had captured her heart. 

“Sister?” a soft voice called out. 

Stella’s eyes fluttered open, and a warm smile broke across her face as she saw her younger sister, Hannah, standing in the doorway. 

“Hannah, you’re back…” she began, her voice trailing off as her gaze froze on the man standing beside her 

sister.

“Cut!” Director Young’s voice rang out. 

Lily blinked back into reality, her professional smile returning as she looked towards the director. 

Gathering the three main actors, Director Young gave them notes for the next scene and announced a short five–minute break before continuing filming. 

Lily stood quietly beside Leon and Rose as Ryan approached them. His face still carried traces of discomfort, but he forced a smile as he wrapped an arm around Rose. 

“Baby, you were incredible out there,” Ryan said, his voice dripping with affection. 

“Aww, thank you, darling. Rose replied sweetly, but her eyes flashed with a mocking glint as she glanced at Lily 

Ignoring Rose’s expression, Lily’s gaze drifted to Ryan’s arm where she had stabbed him earlier. Her eyes widened in feigned innocence. “Oh my, is that… blood? Are you hurt, Ryan?” 

“Blood?” Rose gasped, turning her attention to his arm. “Ryan, are you okay? How did this happen? Does it hurt? We need to see a doctor!” 

Panicking, Rose immediately grabbed Ryan’s arm and pulled up his sleeve. A handkerchief was tied hastily over the wound, but faint traces of blood had already seeped through. 

“It’s just a small cut, Rose. There’s no need to worry,” Ryan said, trying to calm her down. 

“But- 

“Don’t worry about it. You have a scene to shoot. I’ll go to the doctor right away,” Ryan reassured her before pulling her into a hug. Over her shoulder, his eyes locked onto Lily’s with a burning glare. 

Lily… this humiliation, this pain–I will make you pay for it. 

With that silent vow, he turned and walked away. 

Once Ryan was gone, the set returned to business. This was the first time Lily and Rose were sharing a scene together. Pushing aside all distractions, Lily focused on her breathing and waited for the director’s cuc. 

“Action!” Director Young called. 

As the scene began, Lily, in character as Stella, turned towards the man beside her younger sister with an expression of shock, followed by surprise, and then a soft smile.

“Hello, I’m Stella,” she said sweetly 

“Hello, I’m Lucas, Leon, playing the male lead, responded with a charming smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you.” 

“Oh? Have you?” Stella’s eyebrows lifted in curiosity. “But this isn’t the first time we’ve met.” 

Beside them, Hannah–played by Rose–frowned slightly. “Sister, you’ve met him before?” 

Stella hesitated, her gaze flickering between her sister and Lucas. Her expression darkened slightly before she forced another smile. 

“You two are… 

“He’s my boyfriend, Sister,” Hannah said cheerfully, clutching Lucas’s arm. 

Stella’s smile froze, her fingers curling tightly at her sides. “Oh… I see.”
