“No good, CUT!”
It was the fourth time and Stephanie couldn’t yet satisfy the director with her acting. The praises she got from the crew earlier because of her incredible visual attributes were suddenly used against her. All the flattering she heard turned to elaborated mocks on how she was talent-less when it comes to acting and having a gift for beauty and exceptional voice must be her limitation since her acting skills weren’t as good as expected.
The aspiring actress could only grit her teeth quietly while being humiliated. She did every way possible to climbed up a ladder and after all her sacrifices, people still laughed at her. Her body trembled in anger, and she knew it wouldn’t be long before she burst out the swelling feelings inside her. The whispers from the crowd sounded like a taunt coming from faceless demons just like th

The stink of alcohol started to grow stronger by the minute. Empty vodka bottles and beer cans were scattered on the floor. Some were even rolling on the bed with its content spilled all over. The white cotton sheets laid on top of the bed were tainted and the smell of liquors would probably linger for a long time even after washing the covers. Shane was crouching on the floor beside the bed. Just seconds ago, he was still on the bed, spreading down on the soft bed until he fell down when reaching out for another can of beer. He looked messier wearing the same clothes he had for filming earlier.The actor felt like his life was over. He was heartbroken after all.

“Hija!”Mrs. Vargas’ called when Audrey stepped out of the bathroom. “How are you feeling? Did the herbal bath help? We were surprised to see you unconscious on the floor when we arrived,” her mother-in-law continued.Audrey said nothing with indifference in her eyes. First, she had no idea how Mrs. Vargas knew where they went for filming. Shane must have mentioned the possible location but not exactly where. Then, Mrs. Vargas knew where exactly their room was. Audrey was aware that the elder could possibly ask about it from someone in the reception area but would the staff here easily provide this information even she would introduce herself as Shane’s mother? Nah, since this resort was booked by the production team and no other guests were allowed to enter except those tenants and workers whom they referred to as ‘locals&rs

There was a long deafening silence in the room after Audrey stormed out. Shane couldn’t move from where he was standing and Mrs. Vargas was still sitting composedly on her seat. Everything happened so fast for Shane.

He was keeping his mouth shut although he couldn’t help but faced his mother’s gaze. He knew it all along. His mother who was sweet and gentle was actually cunning and manipulative. After all, he took that side of him from her. However, the way she treated Audrey all this while was what her heart really de

The rain had finally stopped, leaving the sky clear; with no heavy, dark, rain clouds blocking the moonlight. The sunny afternoon was gone in a blink and the hours of raining seemed like forever. The important thing was, the rain was over. It wouldn’t be too cold at night to sleep anymore nor too dark outside with the thick clouds. When nightfall came, it was time for the moon to shine and illuminate the earth, guiding the lost soul to the right path and pulling those in despair from the abyss.Audrey opened her peepers when she felt uncomfortable in her position. She was crying for hours again until she fell asleep on the floor. She clicked her tongue. “I’m wasted,” she whispered. Her legs felt numb, and she had to wait for a while until she could finally move them. It was bothersome to stand up when she could barely feel her legs, she was scared she might fall on the ground. Anyway, who would care a

“Hmm…”Audrey moaned while arching her back to stretch her limbs. She pushed away the blanket draped on her body and spread her arms on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. She realized that most ceilings were painted white, giving anyone a hint of excitement early in the morning when waking up and facing the blank space above. Just like how she felt while staring at it, it made her want to paint a story she had of the day before she went to bed again at night. And the next morning, she would be sure to see the white ceiling again, inviting her to stand still on her feet and create a meaningful day to paint at it again when the night comes. Her mind felt a little refreshed after getting a nice sleep. She was thankful she survived after a painful night due to her bleeding heart. IShe got off the bed and dragged the curtain apart to let the sun
