Maybe a happy ending

Chapter 3: Happiness is a myth



Have you read the file?? "I have, and I don't think this one's for me; niceness, seduction, and all that is not for me, boss. I already said to get the job done at all costs. "At all costs," this is bullsh*t!!

His obsession is none of my business, but who cares about what little Maya feels?

"Your shoot is by 3 pm at country B.". I'll be going out today for a little promotion for a brand. The attention is a lot to handle. But it's thrilling and worth its while.

"Someone just passed with a girl. I really hope it's not who I think I saw... Mike is going out with some red-haired chick… Is he like cheating on Serin??

I always knew he didn't deserve her, but she felt otherwise. "Have you checked the trending news today?" Serin always asks this question when she is fully aware that I do not check the news unless it is demanded of me too. Sean Avil of the Avil Group of Companies and the nation's heartthrob is back in the country; it's plastered all over the internet. I was supposed to feel excited because it'll make my job easier, but I wasn't; I wasn't feeling as carefree about this mission as I will feel about previous ones. Get me a beer. I ordered my PA, but she is going on about reasons I shouldn't do that before my performance. I've honestly been feeling way too off lately, and I don't want to lash out at either of them, at least not yet.

As I lay in my bed listening to the noise of the night and letting the tears drop from my eyes, I keep recalling memories that I would rather shut down. It was late at night ... When I saw my dad suddenly appear outside our apartment with bloodstains all over his clothes, he didn't come alone, or maybe he didn't know he wasn't alone, but a dark shadow was lingering around, and I kept screaming because I was frightened to my bones; he didn't like my reaction and kept repeating words that I can't make out even in my growth. So many things I saw and still see that I can't give myself explanations for... so many nights I cried and tried telling my mom things I saw, but she shut me out, and when the time came, she shut me out completely... I read stories of kids being cuddled and receiving gifts from their parents on their birthdays or special occasions, or even the little chocolates and biscuits dads buy while returning from work... All I got from my childhood were cold stares and harsh whispers... Coming into the sync world, a so-called family that will pierce my heart with a knife if need comes and spray lashes of weapons on me whenever I didn't carry my missions upon requests, and there's pretty mama being the billionaire housewife and feeding the news things... I can't wait for her to see just what I have in store for her.
