I can hear a cracking sound from somewhere. Was I too cruel? I felt guilty, but he used to say the same hurtful words at me. I don't want to soften up if I don't want to be bullied like I used to. I stopped thinking about hurting his heart or not because he won't ever feel anything in my words. Claude never cared about me, so I don't want to care about him too.
I looked out the car window without thinking about the feelings of the man beside me. It would be more useful for me to think about my future than to think about a love that doesn't come. I love singing, and I want to become a singer in the future, but Entering the entertainment world is not easy, and my biggest enemy is Lily Liviana, Claude's favorite woman. Lily liked to suppress me in the past.
I belong to the same agency as Lily, and I also have the same agent, but Lily is more famous than me even though I'm prettier than her. Lily is afraid that newcomers who are more beautiful than her will be able to match her in terms of popularity. Lily saw me as the biggest enemy in her life. When I was twenty-two years old, Claude hadn't met Lily.
Everything becomes bad after Claude meets Lily, who will become his future girlfriend. Claude usually hates me already, but after he found out that I committed suicide, our relationship got worse, and Claude thought I was committing suicide only to get his attention. Claude never sensed that I was solemn in ending my life because he considered me as a mad girl who never ends her life before I got him.
He never thought even once that I chose to give up on him. He believed that love would never change over time. One thing Claude doesn't know is that love won't last if only one person holds on to it. After the suicidal incident, Claude became colder towards me, and he didn't want to see even a glance. Claude busied himself in the office and rarely came home because he thought that I would come to bother him.
Claude has an entertainment agency behind his name, and he is the one who built it alone without his parents helped. Claude has the most popular entertainment agency in Sunny Country, and he named it Jean Entertainment. Claude never told me about his company, and he never asked me to join his company because he knew that if he gave me this privilege, then I would come to request more than this.
Claude hid this from his parents because he wanted to surprise them that he didn't need his parent's finances to become a successful man in high society. Claude felt that if his parents also knew about his entertainment agency, his parents would force him to take care of me. I am his enemy, so he won't ever let me become a parasite in his peaceful life.
Everything changed after Claude met Lily Liviana. Without Lily's help, Claude already hated me so much, and after Lily's appearance, Claude hated me more than he already did. Claude gave everything to Lily, and Claude treated Lily gently than he treated me. Claude will give Lily the thing I really longed for, but I couldn't get it. Claude invited Lily to my favorite restaurants, and it didn't stop there.
Claude would do everything that I wanted to do with him the most and showed me that he wouldn't do the same to me. I used to get hurt by his little action, but later I only felt emptiness. Lia was right that Claude is not the right man for me. Lia also told me that a man wouldn't ever hurt a woman who likes him. A man will treat you gently when he loves you, but a man only treats you harshly when he hates you, so Lia told me that I don't have any reason to keep loving him.
Never walk into a relationship that is full of thorns because it only tortures you rather than giving you happiness. After I gave up on my feelings for him, I felt relief like a big rock lifted up from my mind. But no one believed me, especially Lia, Claude, and even Lily, who already became Claude's crush, also didn't believe me.
Lily always said that Claude loved me, but what base did she use to claim that kind of fictional statement? It was impossible for an iceberg to change his heart for me. But Lily always had a high imagination that Claude was in a hate-love relationship with me. Claude loved me, but he used his hate to tell me his love. What kind of sadistic relationship I had with Claude in Lily's imagination. I thought that Lily watched too much palace drama so that she could say something ridiculous like that to me.
Claude hated me, so it was impossible that he also loved me. It is the reality, not a drama, and that the male lead will be in a hate-love relationship with the female lead because until I die, I won't ever become a female lead. Or maybe I am a hidden female lead? Please wake up, Mio, and you have to remember your place. Who do you think you are? I am a mob character who didn't have any meaning in Claude's life.
Lily is abnormal to think that way, yeah. I have to believe in myself and never believe in other people's opinions. Everyone can deceive you, but you are not that stupid to be misled by a cheap trick. Don't ever trust in other's ideas because it will only break your relationship because of false rumors. It was why I thought Lily was ridiculous and had an astonishing imagination.
I looked out of the window car and felt jealous when I saw a young couple holding hands intimately. I never had a boyfriend even after I gave up on Claude, because yeah, the boyfriend was not on my list at that time. After all, money was more important than finding a boyfriend. I moved out of Lockheart's family and lived with my impoverished family.
I took a deep sigh and felt a little depressed in my situation now. What should I do in the future? I can only sing a song, and I don't have any talent other than singing. Should I join in singing showbiz? I never did that before, because I only sent my cover on Webtube. My adoptive parents refused me to come to the entertainment world because it is a muddy place.
The man who sat down beside Mio stole glances at her without Mio knowing it. Claude saw Mio didn't talk to him at all after he asked her out. Claude also realized that Mio wasn't happy about marrying him. It was not the marriage that Claude wanted. Marriage is the happiest moment in everyone's life, but Claude felt the opposite. Claude never heard Mio's happy laughter before she committed suicide.
Claude came back earlier than he expected, and all of his friends were busy, and so he couldn't hang out with them. It was only 5 pm, and everyone was at home. Claude chose to return to his bedroom before everyone noticed his existence. Claude didn't expect that they spoke so loud that he could hear it from outside. Claude always thought that they would be happy without him in the house, but later, he found out that Mio only acted cheerful in front of his parents.
Mio never felt happy from the bottom of her heart. Claude ever read her diary that she left in her bedroom. Mio forced herself to be cheerful because she didn't want his parents to be worried about her. Mio always felt sad and suffocated in the house because of his treatment of her. Claude never knew that Mio has an anxiety disorder in his life because Mio never showed it in front of him.
Even after she moved out, Mio never got close to her original family because she always felt that she was not their children, and even her siblings hated someone who suddenly came into their life. Mio is out of breath when she is anxious about anything. Even when she thought about many problems in her life, her chest would feel tight and hard to breathe. Claude also found out later that Mio had a deep trauma with falling in love, and that was the reason she was still single even after she moved out.
Small Teather:
Mio: I am sure to continue my past life job, singing. I will choose a better agency for continuing my singing career, and what shall I choose?
Claude: You can come to my agency instead, Mio, and I will give you the best to support your singing career.
Mio: You don't have any agency company. *Proudly smile to Claude because I know that Claude won't ever let me come to his company.
Claude: Who said that I don't have an agency company? You will be surprised to know how big my agency is.
Claude brings Mio to his company and gives the best to support her. All of his employers call her, Madam.
Claude: Believe me now?
Mio: "..."
