Evander's POV
I was in awe, yet a little worried, when Claire suddenly dropped to the floor and coughed a few times. Seeing her in that condition was unbearable, but what angered me more was the producer's abrupt interruption.
I wanted to reprimand him, but before I could, Damian spoke up. I hadn't expected much from him, yet, to my surprise, he seemed to have taken a liking to Claire's acting skills and was eager to see her perform.
Not only did he help her regain her composure, but he also offered her a chance to play one of the lead roles in the movie. At first, I was stunned, but was relived. Finally, this brat was proving himself useful!
However, my relief turned to unease when I glanced at the script he wanted her to act. My heart ached as I read it. The story felt too close to our past, full of pain and my stupidity. I didn't want her to relive that agony, even in a fictional setting.
