It's interesting how someone can go about their daily life, seemingly living their best life, only to be confronted by a mirror that reveals the true struggles they face.
Bianca, a stunning Italian woman, is widely known for her exceptional acting talent. She holds the record for the most awards received by any actor, regardless of gender. Her signature catwalk on the runway is admired by every aspiring model, and she is not only the richest but also the highest paid celebrity, with a larger following than even soccer players.
Everyone in the entertainment industry aspires to reach Bianca DeLuca-Walker's level of success. Little do they know, her life is far from glamorous. Despite her dimple smiles, beautiful face, expensive clothes, and charming laughs, everything the world sees is merely an illusion.
After completing the shooting for her upcoming movie, scheduled to be released in January next year, Bianca takes a moment to reflect in front of the mirror. Her face is adorned with bruises, and upon closer inspection, one can see the unevenness of her jawline. She can't even remember the last time her face looked healthy and vibrant.
The star can only dream of being as strong in real life as her character in the film. Perhaps then her face wouldn't appear as lifeless as it does now.
"Ma'am, are you alright? You've been in there for quite some time," Miss Olivia, Bianca's personal assistant, asks from outside the dressing room.
"Yeah, just wait a moment," Bianca replied, taking a pause. She quickly changed into comfortable clothes and put on an oversized hood to hide her face, which she found disgusting.
She knew that using makeup to conceal her face would be a better solution, but unfortunately, it caused a lot of pain on her broken skin. As she was getting ready, someone forcefully pushed open the door of the dressing room.
"I said don't even come in without my permission," Angrily, Bianca scolded them for entering without permission while also making sure to hide her face with her hood hat.
"I don't need your permission, Bia,"
Bia
She had a sudden realization that three people in her life had called her "Bia" - her mother, father, and brother. Unfortunately, they had all passed away in a car accident several years ago.
Bianca's heart skipped a beat, thinking she might be hallucinating. Her eyes widened in shock as she slowly turned around to face whoever called her by her nickname. "Alessandro," she whispered, unable to believe what she was seeing.
She knew it couldn't possibly be Alessandro, her brother, because he despised her so intensely that he had threatened to kill her if they ever crossed paths again. Alessandro never referred to her as "Bia" either. However, the person standing before her looked like an exact copy of him.
But thinking it's Alessandro made more sense than thinking it's someone who died years ago.
"You're truly a talented actress. Putting good scene on scene as if your body was throwin' and beaten the crap out last night,"
Trembling, Bianca tried to process the situation. She involuntarily shook her head, as if trying to clear her thoughts, and accidentally bumped into the desk behind her, causing makeup items to fall off.
