Chapter 55

“Adelaide

I ran a hand through my hair feeling the overwhelming emotions all flood into me. We had been trying to find our Samuel, the male lead for the movie, all day and I knew it was only day one but had hoped that the talent would show me something. Sadly he didn’t

“It’s just day one, Adie. Don’t worry we will find someone to play Samuel,” Jenna comforted me, placing her hand over mine under the table.

She had graciously agreed to accompany me today along with some of the writers and producers. There were a total of seven of us including me in the small room in the studio. We had been cooped up in here since seven this morning and now it was going on to three. We had seen almost twenty different actors and no one came close enough to being what we needed.

“I swear we need Gabriel Alcoretz. He would be perfect for the role but the producers reached out to his management and we haven’t heard back.” I sighed leaning back in my chair.

The news had broken that the movie was in the works and the fanbase of the series was abuzz already. I needed to deliver on this project. This could either make or break me. And I really needed it to make me.

I could see the toll this move was taking on my husband. I had been away from him and I was missing all our alone time for the sake of this movie. I needed it to be worth it. I needed him to see that this little dip was worth it.

“Adelaide,” Jenna jabbed my side, bringing my attention back to the room.

I lifted my head and as if I’d said a little spell and conjured him up myself there he was. Standing tall at just over six feet with raven black hair and striking blue eyes. Gabriel Aloretz. The camera had not done this man justice. Seeing him standing in front of me was like watching living art.

“Hello, I’m Gabriel”

“Oh we know,” Jenna shamelessly flirted with my potential lead.

To be honest I couldn’t blame her, he was handsome. But my eyes were only set on one man and that was Damon. The same man I had been hurting slowly.

I pushed down the negative feelings so I could focus on the task at hand. I needed to be present for this. Home would be taken care of outside of this room.

“Nice to meet you, Gabriel,” I smiled. “We’re so happy you could make the audition. I loved your work in Galigar.”
