Chapter 3Straight? Think Again

It wasn't that I was excited to star in a lesbian drama with Juliana Vaughn.

It was that I was terrified of the consequences of refusing.

Because that's what happened in my last life. On this very day, Sarah had approached me with the same offer. I had rejected it instantly. My hatred for Juliana was so intense that I’d launched into a tirade, saying a lot of ugly, unprofessional things.

Someone recorded it and leaked it online.

The backlash was immediate and brutal. I was dragged across every social media platform for being disrespectful, for being ungrateful. The comments were vicious.

Sarah had demanded I issue a public apology. But I was stubborn and proud, convinced I had done nothing wrong.

Seeing that I was a lost cause, Sarah dropped me.

After weeks of relentless online harassment, the studio terminated my contract and blacklisted me.

At my lowest point, I met Claire Donovan. Juliana's arch-nemesis.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I took that saying to heart and sought her out, foolishly believing she would welcome me with open arms, eager to team up against our common foe.

Instead, I was used, turned into a plaything for her powerful friends, and ultimately discarded. My life ended in a brutal, lonely death.

Perhaps fate decided I didn't deserve to die like that. I was given a second chance.

So this time, I had to seize this opportunity.

It's just a romance between two women. I can do that.

And honestly, compared to Claire, Juliana was a goddamn saint.

This time, I was going to get it right. I clenched my fists, a silent vow echoing in my heart.
