Painful Smiles Chapter 1 I hate my life

"I'll end it. What's the use of living?"

Michael Louis, heir of a wealthy French family. His happiness was cut short after the sudden assassination of his mother.

Since then his father, Louis the sixth has been more than protective of his only heir. He had treated Michael like a prisoner. No friends, only home-school, one nanny.

"Heir to the family's wealth sounds like a curse" he sobs. His room echoes his voice, scaring him. He reaches out for a kitchen knife he hid under his pillow.

Cleaning his eyes, he puts the knife on his wrist and slowly cuts his wrist deeply. "I care less about you dad, I want to be with mommy" he cries.

He hadn't anticipated the pain, it was more than he imagined. It was like realization hit him as he dropped the knife and landed on the ground with it. Tears were streaming down his eyes but not as fast as the blood streaming down his wrist. He tries to shout but his voice seemed locked.

He struggles harder and screams. That took his remaining strength. His eyes were becoming heavy and his heart beats widely.

He was succumbing to the inner peace he was feeling when he heard inaudible sounds belonging to his nanny. He closed his eyes to succumb.

****************************************************

"I hate my life. I hate it" yelled Claudia. She was the first twin yet she had to do anything her other twin wanted. "Why can't Clara play with my gadgets? Must it be Barbie dolls houses all the time?" she whined helplessly.

She groaned loudly and collapsed on her bed. Someone opened her door. "What!" she shouted assuming it was her naughty twin. It was her mom. "Um.. we are going to see Mark at the hospital. Coming?" her mom asked.

The girl's expression changed, she quickly hopped up from bed. She dragged down her little scarf which Mark had given her and tied it carelessly on her neck. She arranged a little camera and radio in her little bag. Mark was the only one who seemed interested in her gadgets, sadly, he's was sick.

At the hospital, her parents were having a hard time finding Mark's room number, they didn't want to ask anyone either. "Mark's mom sent it to us. We would find it, hold on" her father said when Claudia had begged him to ask around.

She groaned loudly again. "Asking a nurse would be so much easier, must you be as stubborn as your second daughter all the time" she stomps angrily. Her father glares at her, "watch your manners, young lady. Mark's mom phone number isn't going".

Finally, her parents left them on a seat and left to meet a nurse. Another nurse was running hysterically towards them. Claudia felt beaten when her parents told her they couldn't find Mark in the three-story building hospital. She was sure they didn't ask the nurse at the door but went to search on their own. So stubborn.

"What exactly is the use of the person there if people visiting a patient can't ask her a question?" Claudia grumbled. "Grumbling again? Stop it" her mother cautioned. On their way out, Doctor James, the doctor that had delivered Clara and Claudia, met them on their way and he began chatting with her parents.

The girls went back to the seat. "You wanted to kill Mark with all your junk toys again, right?" Clara's annoying voice asked.

For a moment, Claudia forgot she was suffering from a younger sister bullying, meeting Mark had excited her. Claudia ignored her. It was best.

As she stood up from her chair, the nurse with a stained gown ran towards her. "Blood, I need blood" she asked looking very perturbed. "Are you an O negative, please, help him, donate" she begged.

Claudia was shocked because she knew the nurse must be crazy. Minors don't donate without parents permission. Where were her parents when she needed? They weren't around.

"Go on donate, you're an O negative, be useful for once" giggled Clara. Claudia shot her a hard glare, "this is serious. Not a joke, maniac" she shouted. "Miss, you want to kill me?" Claudia asked the nurse.

It seemed the nurse was not listening to her. "I'll cover it up, no one would ever know. Just help me" the nurse ranted. She was wearing a pleading look.

"Take her, she's free and has enough blood to share" Clara said now pushing her sister to the nurse. Before Claudia could resist the nurse was rushing her to a room to suck up her blood.

"I thought my parents would sign something first" Claudia asked quietly. The nurse was busy with something. "This is suicide. Clara wants me dead" she begins crying.

*************************************************

"Why? Why am I still alive?"

Just then, Mrs. Peniel entered with a cane in her hand. "You know Michael, I have orders from your father to whip you when you misbehave" she yelled menacingly. He didn't budge, he was already sad he couldn't meet his mom.

"But you know what? I won't. It won't solve anything" she threw the cane to the ground. "So why?" she asked. "Why?" he asked back, "I'm tired, I miss my mom, I'm a curse to everything that's why my mom died protecting me. If I had been ...more...brave and not a fool, my mom would still be alive. Why? Because I want mommy back!" he was crying profusely.

Mrs. Peniel drew him closer to herself and patted him. She could relate to after loosing her only son to a car accident. He was just seven. But she still knew they was a reason to live.

When Michael finally slept, she went to see his life saver. Her younger sister, the nurse, had taken blood from a twelve-year-old child. Without parents permission. "That was very risky" she mumbled as she walked to Claudia's ward.

The wards and rooms looked alike. Mrs. Peniel soon got confused on the rooms. "What number was it again?" she thought. She picked a room and barged in.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
