Stealing My Lead Role? Say Goodbye to Yours のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Walter slumped in complete defeat. After a long silence, he struggled to speak again. "Is there a third option?"He looked up at Nikita on the screen, his eyes red-rimmed. "I put serious effort into casting Jeremiah. His acting and image fit this series better than anyone else's. And he hasn't done a single thing wrong! I can't just replace him for no reason! Also, there's absolutely no way I can pause production."Nikita's expression shifted, and she took on an impatient tone. "Mr. Casson, I'm not negotiating with you. I'm simply informing you of your options."She said each word clearly, "If I go back now, my boyfriend will break up with me. And if I lose my boyfriend, will you take responsibility for that?"I had been standing to the side watching the entire exchange, and finally, I couldn't hold back any longer. "Do you mind if I talk to her for a bit?" I asked.Walter looked at me, hesitated for a moment, then handed me the phone. I took it.When Nikita saw me, she raised

Over the next month, the entire production team operated almost like a closed set. Everyone threw themselves into it, filming from morning until late into the night every day, as if trying to stretch every minute into two.Not a single piece of news leaked out. There were no behind-the-scenes footage, no set photos, and no updates of any kind. To the outside world, it looked as if the series had already halted production.Nikita apparently thought so too, so she and Dwayne went all out. In their social media posts, it would show they were in Marivelle one day, Evermont the next, and Ravensleigh the day after. There were check-ins, couple photos, and captions dripping with all sorts of flirtatious undertones.I grew sick of seeing those updates every day and ended up blocking both of them.…A month later, filming wrapped.After the final scene was done, Walter stood behind the monitor, his eyes red-rimmed. His voice cracked slightly as he said, "Thank you, everyone. Thank you f

Nikita froze in place, the smile on her face stiffening. Her voice shot up an octave, drawing even more attention from the media. "What? Blacklisted? That's impossible!"I smiled and said calmly, "The fact that you abandoned a 500-person crew overnight just to placate your boyfriend has already spread throughout the industry."I paused, watching her face gradually drain of color. "An artist who's only been in the business for three months, hasn't even established herself yet, and is already throwing her weight around like that—who would ever dare cast you after this?"Nikita's expression went completely ashen. "Shut up!"She stepped forward, but Dwayne held her back.The surrounding media caught the scent of drama and surged in at once."What? She walked off the set? Nikita, can you explain?""Is what Jeremiah said true?""Nikita, did you really abandon the production?"Cameras and microphones all zeroed in on Nikita. She instinctively stepped back half a pace, swallowing dryl

"Jeremiah Prichard!"Startled, I took a step back. After I took a moment to see who it was, I raised an eyebrow.The Nikita standing before me was a shadow of the person she'd been just two weeks ago. Her hair was a mess, her eyes sunken, her clothes wrinkled, and a foul stench clung to her.She stood in front of me, her hands fumbling nervously. Her voice was hoarse and laced with unmistakable humility. "Jeremiah, please… I'm begging you, please help me out… I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have said you were ugly, and I shouldn't have badmouthed you in front of Mr. Casson… I was wrong. I really know my mistakes now..."She took a step forward, her knees buckling as if she was actually about to fall to her knees.I shifted to the side. "Stop."I looked at her and said flatly, "You were the one who walked off the set, you were the one who racked up the debt, and your boyfriend was your own choice."I paused, then added, "You brought everything that's happened to you on y
