His Wicked Game

"It was the biggest news of the to everyone to learn that you were in a relationship with Theron Semyonov. Not only that, but the two of you were also engaged, right?" asked the host, staring at Love intently. "Right" Love answered agreeing. She keeps her answer short. "Elissa Delaney announced her engagement to Theron last week. After a month of your alleged separation, could this new development be related to your sudden decision to step away from the industry?" With the mere mention of their relationship, she felt the pain in her heart grow deeper. With confidence, she answers the question. She lied and said, "Not at all". As she smiled patiently waiting for Love to continue, she could feel a flash of pity in her eyes. Before speaking, she takes a deep breath to control her breathing. "Honestly, I had planned to take a break for a very long time now, but I wanted to fulfill my obligations to my management, the brands, and other work I was doing." With every word, her breath becomes unsteady, beads of sweat form on her forehead, and she feels her gut-churning. Despite being uncomfortable, the host continued asking as she stutters, "How a.. are things w...with Theron at the moment?". As Love tried to brush away the pain in her heart, she could feel her chest tightening. In her mind, there are infinite ways of plans to get away from everyone and everything. Nonetheless, all she could do was sit firmly pretending everything was perfectly fine and wait for this nightmare to end. "We are in a good place" and with that, the show ended. Leaving the building as quickly as she could, she ran to get into her car. As she drove away, tears streamed down her face. She snapped out of her trance as soon as she realized where she had stopped. As she gazed at the house, she once called her home, the most vivid memories flooded her mind. Her smile slowly spread across the side of her lips, but her moment of joy ended quickly when she saw two figures appear. Her heart broke even more as she watched as they walked side by side happily laughing. The pain in her heart is getting worse, and her breath trembles as she starts her car. To escape all the pain and chaos, she drove until she reached the place that provides comfort and peace for her instead of going home. Her mind began to become clouded with dark thoughts as she reached the cliff. As she stared out at the cliff edge, Love sat there. It was only then she realized how physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted she was. In those moments, she told herself she had lost everything, so there was no use in staying. When her phone suddenly rang, her attention was diverted to it, and she dropped the incoming call. She proceeds to stare into nothing as she recalls every pain, misery, torture, and loss she has endured on her own throughout the years. Every time she was forced to oblige to her parents' decision to please them and keep their image clean. As she contemplates what to do next, her phone continually receives notifications, but she has decided to ignore each of them. Fed up with the continuous ring she decides to turn it off but a certain name caught her eye with a surprised expression she hurriedly open it and read the message filled with hope. The little hope she had in her heart was ultimately crushed as she read the message line by line. My Love If this is a part of your attention-seeking game again I don't want to be involved! So answer your damn phone and tell them to stop bothering me. And never show up in front of my house again I have told you multiple times, I don't want you here. Love Okay, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me know. I promise that would be the last. After the message was sent and messages from her manager and family continue to pour in she opened her window and throw it out. While her eyes grew heavy, she slowly tightened her grip on the steering wheel, stepping on the gas and heading for the edge. Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, she wished, "In another life, Theron my love." Her eyes closed peacefully as the car slowly reached the edge and in no time it fell rapidly.
