Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Huo Wuer

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.

"Mom.......mom....mom....come on hurry up. Let's go we will get late. Dad is waiting in the car" I shouted in excitement

"Coming honey" she shouted from the kitchen.

But I still kept shouting for her from the main door because I am so excited about our overseas vacation, "Mom... mom.... mom."

She came running after checking everything for the last time in the kitchen. Because we are going for a long vacation after so many years.

Dad was always busy with his work but he never neglects me or mom. He always gives us time and this time overseas vacation.

O my god I am so excited.

I heard the car's horn sound from my behind it made a smile on my face wider.

We were in the car, mom was telling dad that she had checked everything last time before leaving and they got busy in there talking.

Suddenly shout from my mouth made them look back in terror. Mom and dad both in union asked, "What happened honey." Dad halted the car to the side of the road and mom was searching for any kind of injury on my body.

"Is there any injury honey" dad asking in a worried voice. Mom was still examining my body. After being fully showered in a happy voice, she told him there was no injury on my body dad sigh in relief.

"What happened honey? Why did you shout, " mom asked me

"Look mom look" I was showing her the map of Disneyland pointing to the various rollercoaster ride. She was staring at the map. She had no clue what I was trying to show her.

"Is something wrong with your fingers honey why are you moving your finger so fast". She took my hand in her hands and started examining them. Dad was looking at everything from the driver's seat with an amused face. He understood what I was trying to show mom. I smiled sheepishly at him.

"Noo, mom nothing is wrong with my fingers. Look there are so many rides here. We are going to ride on each and every ride, " I said in excitement looking at a map.
