CRAZY DANCER A story about a mystery woman who loves dancing

Chapter 1 Episode 1

Episode 1

Maxine's Pov:

"Damn it! Hurry up, Maxine! Even a snail is faster than you" Tammy rasped as I hurried down the stairs with her school bag. "I wonder why she keeps acting clumsy" Ruby also glared at me. Well, I'm not surprised. What do you expect from two sisters with the same characters? "I'm sorry",I muttered as I stretched out the bag to Tammy and she rolled her eyes before snatching it from me. "Are my pretty angels ready?" The familiar voice asked and I turned to see their mother climbing down the stairs, looking so pretty as always. "Yes, mum. I was about coming to your room to kiss you" Tammy said with a pout and went to give her a peck. Well, she was the youngest and tend to behave childish. Mrs Rosalie glared at me when she got to where I was and I quickly took my gaze to the floor. "Okay, dear. You need to hurry up so you won't be late. Be careful, okay?" She said sweetly to her daughters and they nodded "Bye, mum." Ruby said and started walking out. "Bye mummy. I'll get you some small chops on my way back. And I promise to dance for you when I return" Tammy giggled. "Oh! Please Ruby, you and I both know you don't know how to dance" Ruby said as she walked out the door. "That's a lie" Tammy pouted and their mother laughed. "Don't mind your sister. You're a perfect dancer, okay?" She tried petting her. "And what're you staring at??" She snapped at me and I gulped nervously and started walking out of the house, my school bag hung on my right hand. I got out to the parking lot and met Ruby already seated in the black jeep, operating her phone. I tried going in, but she stopped me. "And what do you think you're doing?" She asked with a glare. Oh, please! "I...I..." "I'm not ready to share the car with you today, okay? So, find your way" she snapped and took her eyes back to her phone. Oh God! Not again. Tammy showed up immediately. "Hm" she scoffed and rolled her eyes at me before going into the car as well. "But...how do I get to school? I don't have any money on me" I said and they laughed. "Well, that's your problem; not ours" Tammy smirked and shut the door and the driver took off immediately. I itched my head and watched pathetically as they left. What do I do now? Am I really going to walk to school today again? But the distance is so long. I'll definitely be late for classes. Oh God! I took in a deep breath and having no other choice, I started walking out of the compound. * Want a little introduction? Well, I'm Maxine Daniels. 19 years old and an orphan. Yeah - my parents died a long time ago and since then, I've been forced to live with my uncle and his family since they were the only relatives I knew. The cause of my parents death still remains a mystery as they were both found dead in the early hours of the morning and I'm yet to receive anymore news. My father was a wealthy business tycoon, but when he died, his brother - my uncle - took everything away. Well, it was actually stated in my father's will that he willed everything to him and till date, I still don't know why. I mean, I'm his only child, yet he didn't leave any of his properties or a little part of his wealth for me. And now, I have to depend on my uncle and live as a slave. Anyway, I just decide to go on with life. I mean, as long as there's life, there's hope, right? * I got out to the road and continued walking. Gosh! I was so tired already. I wish I had a cab fare. I can't believe I'll be late for classes again. After a long walk, I came across a billboard that gripped my attention and I stopped to take a proper look at it. On it was boldly written: WHO WILL BE THE STAR DANCER? I smiled as I stared at it. Hmm. The Star Dance Competition. It was one of the greatest dance competitions coming up in a few days time and people from different countries were actually coming to participate. The winner becomes a model and a diva and her life will sure change forever. Its a pity I wouldn't be able to participate because: First, I can't afford the registration fee. And second, my uncle and his wife will never allow me to participate. But I heard they've registered Tammy already. Hm it's quite a pity, though. It'd have been a perfect opportunity to display my talent. I shook my head and continued walking. Well, if there's one thing you should know about me is this - I was made from dance. Like...it's a spirit that can never leave me. I can't stay close to a music without dancing to it. It drives me crazy at times and sometimes, I wonder why I was made like that. Its incredible. I came across a newspaper vendor and my eyes caught the sight of a catchy headline: POPULAR DANCER -NOAH SIGMUND - RETURNS TO NEW YORK FROM HIS TRIP. Oh! I paused and gasped. Noah was back?? Hm. I'm pretty sure he returned with his brother. Wow! I had no idea he was returning today. Well, Noah was the first son of Mr Sigmund - who was the owner of the Star Dance Organization He had a twin brother - Rex - although, they weren't identical and Noah was the cutest - everybody admits to that. He's actually a talented dancer and had won in the World Best Competition which made him popular. He's actually my role model cause his dance steps were incredible and I wonder if I'll ever get a chance meet him so I could tell him how amazing he was. Well, I'm pretty sure I can only meet him in my dreams. I shook my head and laughed and continued on my long way to school. * * * Noah's Pov: "Oh!! My little boys are home!!" Mum exclaimed as I walked into the house with Rex behind me. I smiled and received the embrace she was already offering. "Good morning, mum" I beamed "Oh, my prince charming. You're looking more handsome!" She held my cheeks and said and I chuckled. "Nice to see you, mum." "Yeah - and I guess I'll have to come last" Rex muttered from behind and left me to go to him. "Oh, Rex! Come on; you know you'll always be my little prince", she beamed and kissed him, but he didn't smile or react. Yeah, Whateber. "Come on; what's wrong? Won't you give me a smile, at least?" Mum cooed and he just sighed "Nice seeing you again, mum. I think I'll really be needing a cool shower" he said bluntly and took the stairs, leaving mum astonished. "Noah, what's wrong? Are you two having issues?" She asked, her right hand at akimbo. "Its his problem,,mum. His loss" I scoffed angrily and she flinched. "What's..." "We can talk about it later, okay? But for now, I need to rest" I cut her off, calmly tho and she sighed. "Okay, then. Anyway, your father's on his way home already. You need to get ready cause he's coming to have a big meeting with you" she laughed as she helped me with my buttons. Huh? "What meeting?" I asked, already feeling tired. I'm seriously not ready for one of his arguments. "Well...I think it has to do with you getting married" she shrugged and I furrowed my brows in dismay. "What? Don't tell me he's still into that. Mum..." "Well, its just a guess, Noah. Okay? I'm not really sure. I just think that's his reason. But don't worry, he doesn't have a wife yet" she winked at me and I rolled my eyes, tiredly. "Come on. I'll accompany you to your room" she held my hand and said and started leading me to the stairs. Hmm. "So, how's the dance competition coming up...?" I asked along the way, trying to bring up more conversations. * * *

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

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.
