Chapter 1439
When Love Comes Late
Deboraâs vibe was chillier compared to Stellaâs excitement.
She flashed a smile at Stella but her eyes darted past her.
âLong time no see, huh?â
Stella turned to see Luka standing behind her.
Lukaâs face tensed for a moment.
But he quickly smoothed it out and greeted Debora.
âLong time, indeed.
â
Stellaâs eyes bounced between them.
Did Luka and Debora have history?
But Luka didnât catch her gaze.
He just said to Debora, âStellaâs new to the game.
Youâve got experience.
Look out for her.

Debora gave a slight nod but her face looked off.
âAlright, now that weâre all acquainted, letâs prep for the shoot,â
Luther chimed in.
Thirty minutes later, the actors were set.
It was showdown time between Stella and Debora.
Stella was definitely feeling the nerves now.
In todayâs scene, Deboraâs character misunderstood the heroine, almost slapping her but holding back.
âAction!â Lutherâs call snapped Stella into focus.
Debora stared at Stella, her heart torn.
With a heavy hand, she swung.
Slap!
The slap left everyone stunned.
Lutherâs face scrunched up, ready to yell âcut,â but Stella kept going with her lines.
âIs that how you see me?â Stella hid her face, tears welling up as she glanced at Debora.
Debora froze, staring at Stella with wide eyes.
The whole set hushed, waiting for Deboraâs comeback.
But she stayed silent for ages.
âCut,â Luther called out.
âLetâs give the actors a breather.
â
Debora slowly snapped out of it, her gaze fixated on the handprint she left on Stellaâs cheek.
The makeup artist spotted it too and rushed over with an ice pack.
Debora mumbled an apology to Stella, her voice barely audible.
She couldnât understand why sheâd lost control like that.
