Painted Smile Madame Macabre Lyrics

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.

Après trois ans de mariage, Ariane Lenoir a découvert que son certificat de mariage avec Bastien Sorel n'était qu'un faux. La véritable « Madame Sorel » n'est autre que sa meilleure amie, Noémie Vallon. Pendant trois ans, Bastien et toute sa famille l'avaient traitée comme une dupe. La raison ? Une terrible accident, celui-là même où elle avait failli perdre la vie pour sauver Bastien, l'avait privée à jamais de la possibilité d'enfanter. Et quand elle demandait pourquoi : Bastien : « Je t'aime. Je voulais juste un enfant. » Noémie : « Je ne veux pas vous séparer, je veux juste faire partie de votre vie à deux. » Ariane : « Vous êtes complètement malades ! » ... Ils voulaient jouer ce jeu pervers ? Parfait. Ariane allait désormais mener la partie. Ils lui avaient volé son avenir ? Elle a épousé l'héritier et est devenue leur cliente. Ils lui avait refusé un vrai mariage ? Sa nouvelle belle-famille lui a offert un cérémonie somptueuse à plusieurs centaines de millions. Ils la croyaient stérile, une femme incompétente ? Elle attendait désormais des jumeaux, et savoura à l'avance leur rage impuissante. ... La nouvelle du mariage de l'héritier s'était répandue comme une traînée de poudre, et tout le monde semblait plaindre sa nouvelle épouse. Dans les salons chuchotait-on qu'il gardait au cœur une « femme de sa vie », un premier amour inoubliée, même après son propre mariage. Certains assuraient, qu'il avait frôlé l'irréparable le jour où elle avait dit « oui » à un autre. D'autres juraient l'avoir surpris, les yeux embués devant les films où elle jouait, qu'il revisionnait inlassablement. Alors, quand après la naissance des jumeaux, Ariane, feignant la résignation, a murmuré qu'elle « devait les réunir, lui et son grand amour », il l'a serrée férocement contre lui, paniqué. « C'est quoi ces conneries ? Mon cœur, tu DOIS me croire ! »

On the day I entered my contract marriage with Brian Janson, a flood of comments suddenly flashed before my eyes. [No…! The villainess is going to ruin the male lead’s purity!] [The CEO’s first time should belong to the heroine! Shameless woman, get off his waist right now!] [Are they going to do it or not? I’m on a tight schedule.] [Come on, have some loyalty to the main couple!] [If Brian knew he wouldn’t be able to give Quincy the ‘pure, untouched version’ of himself in the future, he’d probably drown in guilt.] Pure, untouched version? Sorry. I was born a villain, and making trouble is what I do best. So while Brianwas drunk, I leaned in without the slightest bit of guilt. The comments exploded again. [It’s over. They look like they’re about to get married for real!] [Am I seeing things? Did the male lead just… smile?]

I met my mate, Alpha Draven, at the bonding ceremony of our classmate Raven—seven years after I rejected him. But everything had changed. He was still handsome and prestigious, with his beautiful mate clinging to his side. And me? I stood there in an old-fashioned uniform, black-rimmed glasses perched on my nose— a relic from another world. Yes. We were from two completely different worlds now. In the middle of the ceremony, I overheard some werewolves whispering and laughing. "Draven, have you finally moved on from her rejection? It's been seven years, after all." His smile faded. "Honestly, I didn't even recognize her at first glance today." Their words struck me like claws to the heart. I couldn't breathe. So I left—quietly, halfway through the ceremony—before the pain could completely devour me.
