Chapter 54: The Movie Set (2)
Charlotte glanced around once more before turning back to him with a small smile. "It’s incredible, Mr. Barnes. I can already picture myself as Lena."
"The prop team put in a lot of effort to make it as accurate as possible," Logan said, nodding with pride. "They did a fantastic job. If you’re ready, we can check out the other set, the house Lena shared with her ex-husband. Ethan is already there."
A house filled with years of pain and suffocating memories.
Charlotte inhaled deeply, steadying herself. She had a feeling that set would hit too close to home.
But this was fiction, and she was an actress. She needed to separate the past from the present.
"I’m ready. Let’s go."
Unlike Lena’s apartment, which had been built from the ground up, the production team had rented an actual house for her ex-husband’s scenes.
It made sense because those moments were scattered throughout the film, appearing as fragmented memories or the haunting echoes of a life Lena had fought to escape.
The house itself wasn’t particularly grand, but it had the cold, calculated beauty of a place meant to impress rather than comfort.
The kind of home where every piece of furniture was carefully selected, not for warmth but for appearances.
Inside, she spotted Ethan in the kitchen, surrounded by a few crew members as they adjusted the props. He was flipping through the kitchen cabinets, likely checking the property in there.
