After The Divorce, She Became The Nation’s Sweetheart Chapter Forty-Three
The hall slowly fell quiet.The instant Isabelle stepped through the doors and Director Joe pointed her way, conversations in the hall fell to a hush.Every head turned.The ivory gown flowed around Isabelle like light spun into fabric, its silver embroidery glittering under the overhead lamps. She walked with a quiet grace, her shoulders straight, and her expression so calm and striking that for a heartbeat, everyone forgot to breathe.“Who is she…?” someone whispered.“She’s… beautiful.”Eyes followed her, captivated not only by the gown but by the aura she exuded as if she belonged on that stage already.Director Joe’s gaze lingered on her as well. He had seen countless faces in the industry, but this was different. Although he had already sensed it the day she auditioned, that she had the grace fitting for the medieval times, today was really off the charts. What a pity that she had auditioned for a small role like Princess Elara.Isabelle approached with Camille at her side, only

The air went still once she stepped out.Riven’s hand, which had been lazily flipping through a magazine, froze mid-turn. His gaze lifted from the glossy pages and landed on the figure stepping out from the fitting room.For the first time in a long while, his composure faltered. His eyes froze, pupils darkening as they fixed on her. The hand resting on the magazine tightened ever so slightly, as though he had forgotten what he was holding.For a long moment, no one spoke.The soft lighting poured over Isabelle like sunlight through mist. The ivory gown shimmered faintly as she walked, each step slow, deliberate yet unintentional grace followed her. The off-shoulder design traced the curve of her collarbone, and the silver embroidery caught light like frost on morning leaves.Riven’s eyes darkened slightly.She wasn’t dazzling in the deliberate, ostentatious sense but breathtaking in a quiet way, as though she had walked straight out of another century. He couldn’t look away.Isabell

Isabelle was stunned. “Huh? The dress is gone?”Camille sounded very anxious and she could hear her shuffling about in the background. “Yeah! They looked for it but it's nowhere to be found and they don't have any suitable dresses of your size available.”“Oh.” Isabelle was a bit lost for words. Her cheery heart slowly chilled and she tightened her grip on the phone. Why did this have to happen on the very day of the script reading?The sudden bad news had dampened her mood and even the twinkle that was in her eyes earlier that morning, had disappeared.She sounded a bit dejected. “So what are we going to do?”The man across her suddenly looked her way. Perhaps he was too sensitive, although he couldn't hear what was being said over the phone, he could feel the sudden dip in her mood.He frowned slightly.“Don't panic, Isabelle,” Camille responded over the line. “I'm trying to find some of my other contacts. Let's see if there are any premade ones of your size available.”Isabelle sl

TORRES VILLAGregory slammed through the front door with the kind of fury that rattled glasses in the cabinet. Tiffany watched from behind him quietly, her mind ruminating what Riven had said. Ryan trailed at his father’s heels, eyes red, and clutching his school bag like a talisman. He had no idea what was going on. The boy had thrown a few tantrums in the car after he was picked up but Gregory had actually snapped at him, scaring him so much he didn't dare to speak. He quickly rushed upstairs to his bedroom once they were home.Gregory’s voice was a low grumble. “How dare he—” He paced in half-circles, his shirt cuffs undone, and his cheeks flushed. Tiffany watched the man pacing around with a hint of ridicule appearing in her eyes. He had cowered when Riven threatened him earlier but now he was throwing his weight around the house like a coward. It was simply ridiculous.“This is absolutely nonsense,” Gregory spat. “She brings that man’s daughter to Ryan's school right under my

Isabelle straightened at once, turning to see Gregory striding forward and Tiffany following elegantly at his side. Ryan was not with them so she figured they hadn't picked him yet.Once they came closer, she frowned instantly. “What do you want?”Gregory heaved a bit after rushing over like that. He looked her over, the veins of his temple rising with every moment. She looked prettier than the last time he saw her. What was going on?He knew she had some savings and she must be staying with Camille so she wasn't completely stranded. But that was only a solution for the meantime. Eventually, the savings would finish and Camille wouldn't be able to accommodate her anymore. She had refused to take the alimony or any of his assets so he was simply waiting till her pride wore off and she'd have to beg him.But, that didn't seem to be the case. To make matters worse, she seemed to be even closer with this man and his daughter. He had been watching them from afar and they looked like a fam

The midday sun spilled through the wide glass windows of the Zenith Media building, reflecting on the office on the top floor where Isabelle and Camille were seated. They were there to sign the contract for the show and Camille was currently reading the contract terms intently.When the last page was flipped and Camille finally nodded in satisfaction, Isabelle felt the knot in her chest loosen. She signed her name carefully before Director Joe's assistant took the papers for him to sign too.Once that was done, Director Joe, who had been observing quietly from across the table, finally spoke. “Good.” He leaned back in his chair, his kind yet sharp gaze fixed on her. “Don’t let what’s happening online shake you, Miss Torres. I didn’t choose you because of any ulterior motives and I don't think we've met before the audition. I chose you because you fit the role.”Isabelle didn't expect him to bring it up. She met his gaze and listened carefully.He continued, “The industry always has s
