When the Cameras Stop Rolling

When the cameras stop rolling on her latest drama, actress Serena Winters finds paparazzi photos of her husband, Best Actor Gideon, kissing Lillian Ross, the second female lead. The images go viral, and Gideon himself posts an intimate photo with Lillian, declaring his devotion to her.

Everyone expects Serena to make a scene as she always has. Instead, she calmly removes her diamond ring and posts it with the photo, wishing the pair well. For five years she has funded her mother's surgery and quietly buried Gideon's scandals, believing he would one day return to her. Now Gideon storms in, demanding she delete the post and apologize to Lillian, and his defense of the other woman ends in a slap that leaves Serena bleeding.

As Lillian kneels and pleads, Gideon chooses her without hesitation. Serena, her tears finally dry, tells them she will let him go.
