All For Show
elliottstories
Walang permanente sa mundo ng showbiz.
Ito ang isang bagay na natutunan ni Selene nang pansamantala nitong iwan ang showbiz. Sa muling pagbabalik nito, kakailanganin n'yang gampanan ang isang mahalagang papel sa likod ng camera: maging butihing maybahay ng kapwa artista na si Marion Altamirano.
Marion Altamiro is one fine man. At dahil sa kasikatan nito, nasa kanya na ang lahat. Halos. Isang eskandalo ang kinasangkutan nito kaya't ang dati'y tinitingala ay tila isang putik ngayon kung tapakan dahil sa pagkakamaling iyon.
Saving grace ang teleseryeng pagbibidahan ng dalawang artista dahil ito ang magsasalba sa naghihingalo nilang kasikatan. Kailangan din nilang magpakasal upang maging kapani-paniwala ang chemistry ng mga ito.
Hindi magiging madali para sa kanila na pangatawanan ang napagkasunduan; unti-unti na rin kasing mawawala ang boundary sa pagitan ng totohanan at kasinungalingan.
All for show pa rin ba na maituturing ang pagsasama nila kung kapwa na silang nahuhulog para sa isa't isa?

She is Phoebe Stone and she is just doing her job cleaning offices, without knowing she is ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’. So, in a matter of minutes, against her wishes, she will start a thrilling adventure, next to a stunning but frightening man.
This adventure will change both their lives forever.
(Excerpt)
The reality hit her hard. She was standing in a dimly lit room, half naked in front of the man who kidnapped her… who threatened her...
The most beautiful man in the world.
He lifted her hands and put them on him as if it was the most natural thing in the world that she should touch him. She caressed him again, just to make sure he was really there.
He covered her small hands with his and stood perfectly still.
“If you want me to stop, I will. If you want me to leave this room, I will. ‘Piccola’ (Ita. Baby), the decision is yours.”
“Don’t stop, please… I just want to be yours tonight… and always…”

On the Divorce Reality Show
I was a semi-retired actress, joining a divorce reality show with my billionaire husband.
"I want a divorce."
Facing the camera, I spoke calmly.
Off-camera, Hector Sinclair frowned as he reviewed the scene with me.
"You need to show more emotion when you say it. That’s what will get people talking, stir up discussion, and drive the views.
"Otherwise, who’s going to believe you really want to divorce me? They’ll just think you’re acting again.
“Use your head. I can’t guide you every step of the way."
Yeah.
To outsiders, I was nothing more than a pretty face—vain, shallow, and talentless.
Meanwhile, he was a shrewd and cultured businessman, commanding a fortune worth billion.
No one believed I would willingly give up the title of Mrs. Sinclair, not even Hector himself.
However, he had no idea that this time, I meant it.
