Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 149

Lindsey hadn’t thought of that name in ages.

Selah was once a star that shone bright in the world of showbiz.

Her films and TV shows were iconic, and she’d swept through all the awards one could imagine, achieving a grand slam by the tender age of twenty-five.

Her fame had rocketed nationwide within years.

Yet, five years prior, at the pinnacle of her stardom, she made a grand announcement of her marriage and vanished from the limelight as quickly as she had entered it, leaving fans stunned.

With time, Selah’s name faded from common conversation.

“I had my heart set on casting Selah for my debut film, but she stepped away from the scene, leaving me with a pang of regret that I couldn’t shake off,” Vincent confided, his eyes leaving the past to rest on Lindsey, “The lead role in this film was crafted with Selah in mind.

I’ve reached out to her multiple times to no avail.

If Selah decides to return, she’ll be the star of the film.

”

Vincent’s words haunted Lindsey after she left his office.

Aware of her lack of a standout actress and the slim chances against Kristy for the lead role, Lindsey mused, if only she could sway Selah to make a return and join forces with Vitality Entertainment.

But if Vincent, with all his influence, couldn’t persuade Selah, what chance did others have?

The afternoon found Lindsey buried in her search for any current details on Selah, but it was as though she had evaporated.

All Lindsey uncovered was that Selah had married into wealth and her husband preferred her out of the spotlight, leading to her gradual disappearance.

Come evening, dressed in a silky nightgown that played to her figure, Lindsey Lounged on the sofa, engrossed in an old interview of Selah’s.

The sudden clicks of the door lock startled her.

Nervous eyes fixed on the door as Domenic entered, clad in the same white shirt and black trousers from the night before.

Lindsey, expecting the apartment to herself and thus dressed in just her nightwear, was caught off guard.

In a scramble, she wrapped herself in a blanket from the couch.

“Why didn’t you give me a heads-up before coming back?” she asked.

Domenic’s smile spread as he noticed Lindsey’s cheeks turn pink with panic.

“Oops, it slipped my mind.

”

He made his way over and slumped down on the couch beside her.

It was then that Lindsey saw the signs of fatigue in him.

His shirt was crumpled, and his hair was tousled.

He massaged his temples, letting out a tired sigh.

“Sleep hasn’t come easy lately.

Guess there’s no place like home, huh?”

Lindsey, curled up in the corner of the couch, felt a tug at her heartstrings at his words.

She frowned slightly and questioned, “Then why didn’t you come home sooner?”

“Because I upset you, and I was afraid to go in.

Did you miss me?”

Domenic turned to face her, his gaze intense, making Lindsey’s heart skip a beat and her face warm up.

It was as if he was the husband returning home after a spat.

Realizing she might have been teased again, Lindsey jabbed her foot at his leg in protest.

“Get over yourself.

Miss you? As if But as she withdrew her foot, Domenic caught her ankle in his firm grasp.
