Chapter 4My Second Lead Broke The Script

The crash left the original Jade in a coma. Naturally, our "heaven-sent" heroine, Daisy, had the same rare blood type needed for the transfusion. Don't ask why the hospital’s blood bank was empty. It was a plot device.

In most stories, this is where they’d discover they were long-lost sisters. But I’d put my foot down with the producers on that one. They were strangers. Total coincidences.

While I was unconscious, Daisy was busy. She was the one who helped Wyatt to his room. She was the one the studio signed to a massive contract to cover up the scandal.

By the time I woke up, the "Original Jade" was a fading star with a crippled leg, and Daisy was the new "It Girl."

The original Jade would have been livid. She would have spent every waking moment trying to destroy Daisy.

Kael knew this. He knew Jade was a spiteful, narcissistic mess. So, he decided to "fall in love" with me. He pursued me relentlessly, played the devoted dog, and asked me to marry him—all to keep me distracted so Daisy could be happy with Wyatt.

The old Jade loved winning. She loved taking Kael away from Daisy. She said yes just to be cruel.

But now, I was the one in the hospital bed. I was the one being pursued.

Why was I following the script? Because the script was my map. If I stayed on the path, I knew exactly when the danger was coming. And more importantly, I hadn't been a complete monster to the villainess.

In the end, Jade loses the husband and the fame. She’s disgraced and forced to leave the country.

But... she’s still rich.

If I can just make it to the final credits, I’ll be a free woman with a massive bank account and a fresh start. That beats being a burnt-out screenwriter any day.
