Out Of The Shadow Of My Sister

Synopsis

I was just a C-list actress, barely scraping by in the industry. Because I looked about 70% like the superstar Louisa Olson, her team picked me to be her stand-in for three whole years. All the risky scenes, awkward parties, and pain were mine to handle. Meanwhile, Louisa just had to stand in front of the camera, bask in the spotlight, and soak up the love from her fans. Then, at the Golden Globe Awards, Louisa won Best Actress for the role I played behind the scenes. At the celebration party, she linked arms with the director, smiling brightly. "Thanks to my own efforts, I truly deserve this award." However, as the so-called 'hero behind the scenes,' all I got was a lonely glass of champagne in the corner. Just then, Louisa's agent walked up to me and handed over a plane ticket along with a contract for plastic surgery. "Matilda, Louisa's moving on to Hollywood. You can't keep your face anymore," the agent said, her voice icy. She warned, "You've got two choices: go overseas, change your face, and start fresh, or we'll make sure you vanish from this business for good." I looked at them and let out a cold laugh. I walked straight to the center of the stage and grabbed the mic right out of the host's hand. With the livestream rolling, I snatched the makeup remover from the table and wiped my face hard. "Hey everyone, I'm Matilda Reilly, the real face behind Louisa," I said, my voice steady. I smiled. "Watch me switch faces in just one second."
