I once stood at the pinnacle of beauty.
The face that graces every magazine cover, the name whispered with admiration.
I had it all–one or two moments, maybe, where life left the perfect story.
And for a moment, the world seemed mine.
The called me beautiful, but they never understood that behind the flawless face was a woman with more than just looks.
I was intelligent, driven. I had hopes, dreams, a future.
But in the midst of all that, I found him–the man of my life.
He held me, loved me, promised me a future we would build together.
We talked of children, if growing old side by side. He said it was a beautiful plan.
And for a while, I believed it too. I thought I had it all figured out–love, success, family.
He said I would give him children, a legacy, an heir. But I couldn't. Every time I tried, I lost them.
Something in me wouldn't let me keep them, and no doctor could fix what was wrong.
I thought he would be by my side through it all. But the disappointment in his eyes slowly turned to anger, to resentment.
He began to see me as broken, not just in body, but in spirit.
And then it all fell apart.
The man I loved , the man I thought would stand by me no matter what, divorced me.
Just like that, he was gone. He wanted nothing to do with me. And my family? They turned their backs too.
They said I was no longer the woman they once knew. To them, I was nothing. Without beauty, without success, without that crown, I was invisible.
How did it all come to this? I once had the world at my feet, and now I am nothing more than a shadow.
No one looks at me with kindness anymore, no one sees me as the woman I once was.
I've lost everything–my home, my family, my future. All the money, all the power, all the fame–it never faces me what I truly needed.
Respect? Love? Compassion?
I'm alone now. Like a stray dog, discarded and forgotten. Each night, I cry myself to sleep.
Wondering if this is all my life will ever be–empty, cold, alone.
The world turned its back on me, and now I'm life here, just trying to survive.
It this how it ends? A once shining star, now fading into the dark?
I thought beauty would protect me. I thought love would protect me. I was wrong. And now, I'm just nothing.

Episode # 2
~AN EXCLUSIVE RESTAURANT~
Felix walks down inside the restaurant.
He spots his daughter Felicia sitting at table with her mother.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
The moment Felicia sees him, she jumps off her mother's lap, and runs towards him.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Daddy!
Felix smiles softly and bends down to catch her as she runs into his arms.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Hey, princess.
He walks towards the mother, still holding Felicia in his arms. Felicia's mother stands up, looking at Felix as they greet each other.
Bianca Lawson (ML's girlfriend)
Hi, Felix.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Hi, Bianca.
Bianca Lawson (ML's girlfriend)
I want you to stay with her... I'll be busy in the coming months.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Are you sure?
Bianca looks at him for a moment, her face serious.
Bianca Lawson (ML's girlfriend)
Yes.
Felix nods, sensing her finality in the tone.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Okay.
Bianca turns and walks away, leaving Felix and Felicia alone at the table.
Felicia clings to her father, looking up at him with excitement.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Daddy, I want you to meet my new teacher! I saw her today. She's so sweet!
Felix's smile fades slightly, but he forces it back on.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
I'll meet her, princess. Let's go home now.
The man stands up, still holding his daughter. They start to walk out of the restaurant together.
Felix sat down with his daughter, she looks around the grand place, her eyes wide with curiosity.
She stands up feeling excited to be in the new atmospheric place with her father.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Daddy, do stay in this big house... alone?
Felix hesitates for a moment, his fingers briefly running through his hair.
He glances at her, offering a soft but gentle smile.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
I was, princess. But not anymore. Now, I have you.
Felicia smiles at him, her face lightning up with joy. She snuggles close to him.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Is mommy coming to stay with us, too?
He's expression shifts slightly, a brief shadow passing over his face. He gently brushed a lock of hair from his daughter's face and looks down at her.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Princess, mommy will come and stay with us. Just...not right now.
Felicia seems to think for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly as she looks up at her father.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Daddy, promise you'll meet by new teacher?
Felix takes a deep breath, his heart sinking a little as he looks into his daughter's hopeful eyes. He gently squeezes her hand.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
I'll meet her, princess. If Daddy isn't too busy.
Felicia's face brightens with determination. She holds out her pinky, her eyes sparkling.
Felicia De la Hoyde (ML's daughter)
Pinky promise?
Fenix smiles, his heart warming at the sight of her innocence and trust.
He extends his pinky and hooks it with hers.
Felix De la Hoyde (ML)
Pink Promise.
They sit there for a minute, the atmosphere quiet but peaceful. The daughter leans against him, content, while he watches her, his mind wandering for a brief second to the weight of everything that's changed.

Episode # 3
Adele is at her desk, working diligently on her fashion designs.
Focused on the details, oblivious to the time passing by.
The soft hum of the sewing machines and the occasional sound of fabric rustling fill the room.
Suddenly, the door to the studio opens, and the manger walks in, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.
Linda (The studio manager)
*Calling out*
Adele.
Adele looks up from her work, surprised to see the manager standing at the door.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*confused*
Oh, hello! What's wrong? Is something the matter?
The Manager's expression is stern. She crosses her arms, looking at Adele with disappointment.
Linda (The studio manager)
Adele, you're fired.
Adele freezes, her face filled with confusion and disbelief.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*shocked*
What? Why? What did I do wrong? The show is next week, right?
The Manager's face hardens.
Linda (The studio manager)
*coldly*
Wrong, Adele. The show was this morning. You missed it. While you were off doing... whatever you were doing, we failed. You colleagues have been talking about it all afternoon.
Adele's eyes widen as she looks around. Her co-workers are standing nearby, whispering and laughing quietly.
Some of them glance at her with smug expressions, while others avoid her gaze entirely.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*stammering*
But...but they told me the show was next week... they said I had more time...
One of her co-workers, a young woman named Rosella, chuckles under her breath.
Rosella
*mocking*
Guess you trusted the wrong people,huh?
Adele's heart sinks as she slowly starts to piece together the truth.
She looks around, feeling a wave of humiliation wash over her. She begins to gather her things, her hands trembling slightly as she packs up her designs.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*softly to herself*
I can't believe this...
She holds back tears, trying to maintain her composure. The sound of laughter from the other side of the room only makes her feel smaller, but she continues to pack her things quietly, knowing that her dreams have just been shattered.
She walks towards the door, her head down, and her shoulders slumped.
The room,once filled with excitement and creativity, now feels cold and empty.
The sound of water running fills the small bathroom,but it does little to drown out the noise in Adele's mind.
I'm sitting here, but I don't feel like I'm really sitting. My body is here, in this cold, empty apartment.
But my heart...my heart feels so far away. Far from the dreams I used to have. Far from who I thought I could be. Where did it all go wrong?
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*she wipes her eyes, her hand trembling,but there's no stopping the tears that fall.*
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*she wrapped her arms around her knees trying to steady herself but there was no use, the sobs comes in harsh and uncomfortably.*
I lost my job. My rent is due,but it's a joke to think I could ever make it. I can't even buy myself things I need, let alone the things I want.
My name...my name is Adeline. It used to mean something to me. It was supposed to mean something. But now? I'm just a cruel reminder of everything I can't do. Everyone can't be.
I watch the people I love,the ones I used to be so close to, living their lives like I was never even there.
They don't need me. They've all moved on. They don't even know the weight of what I'm carrying. They don't know How much I wanted to make it. how much I needed to make it.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*she closes her eyes, tears blurring her vision, but it's enough to stop the overwhelming feeling of failure that has taken over her soul.*
I've been trying to survive. To fight. But I can't. I'm running on empty, and every step feels heavier than the last.
I'm tired. I'm exhausted. I just wanted one chance...but I guess chances don't wait for people like me.
I don't even know who I am anymore. Just a walking corpse waiting for the world to forget I ever existed. Maybe it already has.
Adeline/Adele (FL)
*she let out a shaky breath,,and for a moment the sound of her sobs is the only thing she can hear.*
