"I love you Evos, I love you more than you'll ever know.", a tear escaped out from my left eye. He wiped it with his thumb as he whispered these words to me, "And I love you too Marielle.", and with that, his face slowly moved closer to mine as our nose made contact, and felt our lips collided.
"CUT!", the director shouted as he stood from his chair and clapped his hands. Cheering and clapping from the people on set was heard throughout the place.
The director grabbed the megaphone that was on top of a table next to him, "Thank you, both of you, and all people who are here. Thank you for your cooperation!". The last scene was finished and everyone were starting to pack and cleaned the place.
I went to my chair and sat as I drink my remaining water from the water bottle, closed the cap and put it on the table beside me. I grabbed my purse to check my phone for any messages or calls, but only notifications from my Twitter and Instagram greeted me. I sighed and turned off my phone as I put it back in the purse and heading my way to my car. I bid farewell to the staffs and the director as well as my co-actors and actresses who were there and went to my car.
Driving home was a bit quiet, except the radio playing music and the sound of the car's engines.
I forgot to Introduce myself, my name is Ellianna Juliette Jones.
Since I was a little girl, maybe around 6 or 7, I've always wanted to be an actress.
I always had that feeling whenever I would watch a movie, I always wonder, what would it be like to be in a big screen? or have your name in the hall of fame?
My parents supported me with my passion and enrolled me to a prestigious university for arts and music.
They attended every theater shows starring me. I can tell that my parents were very proud of me for what I became, I mean who wouldn't.
One time, when I was 18, a producer noticed me during a show I was on. After the show, he went backstage to see me and asked me if I was willing to be in a TV show, I remember I didn't hesitate to say yes and went to hugged him, good thing he was kind and hugged me back as my parents were thanking him.
That was my debut as a TV actress, though I wasn't really recognized by people that time since I was new.
When I turned 34, I was one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood.
I earned millions and millions worth of money, had a husband with 3 loving children. Yes, HAD. I filed a divorce with him after 2 years of dating and 6 years of marriage.
I just couldn't handle it anymore. Him always drinking after shootings and would go to clubs and bars to do things only God knows, oh and didn't I tell you he's also a famous actor? Shocking isn't it?
Now that I'm 47, I'm still one of the most adored and beloved actresses not just in Hollywood, but the whole world.
I had everything that I want, money, children, fame, fans, luxurious things. I felt like a queen. Yet, even though I showered myself with these things so many times, I still feel... sad, depressed. I always feel like my life isn't complete, like that one missing puzzle that will never be found again.
