The Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune Novels & Stories

She quoted words from a romance movie she watched a thousand times for her vows. Victor's wavy black hair was gel to the back, his grey suit hugged his body, his brown eyes deceivingly looked pure. He had a slim thick structure, 5'9 ft tall, broad shoulders and bow legs. Damn his figure was perfect. His smile was perfect, everything about his outward appearance was breathtaking. He would have fooled anyone and is fooling everyone. They say the devil was one handsome geek. Expecting anything else from a money hungry, manipulative billionaire was the worst thing she ever did.

He is loathing himself for the mistake of hiring Vanessa to do that shitty issue to Charles! Now it’s coming back to him. It’s like he had given away the woman he loves to the man he hates. And now she’s pregnant and he can’t have her back which crumbles his world. “A billionaire’s mistake!” He shouts, punching his freakin’ steering wheel when the light was red. “I messed up,” he kept grunting. Then he thought about Vanessa. No, this wasn’t his mistake, it was that fucking Vanessa’s mistake! Isn't it only just for him to make this all right?

I ignore his reaction and turn my attention to the idiot walking next to me. "That's not what I meant, Travis!" "Oh I'm sorry. When you said "I was lucky" I automatically assumed that ..." "And how are you a genius?" I ask, looking at him puzzled. " I'm a genius strategist. I don't know what kind of genius it would take to understand women... Maybe a genius who is a woman" he says scratching the bottom of her chin in thought. "I mean, if things hadn't turned out the way they did, do you think things would have turned out the way they did now?"

He couldn't afford to do anything that would risk his dad's reputation once again, which was already quite fragile because of his own actions. And so, he stood there, rooted to his spot, aware of the mocking gazes of the people he himself had gathered to cheer Vienna on, with nobody to direct his anger towards. Just then, Gemini appeared behind his shoulder from somewhere, like a genie out of an enchanted bottle… a completely useless Genie, who didn't fulfill any of his wishes but instead was hell bent on haunting him and making his life miserable. And on top of that, she had the unique talent to find him at his lowest and push him even lower.

Dennis was known as a smiling devil. Although he was always friendly, cheerful, and seemingly kind, he was a shrewd and cunning person. He could be ruthless. He could plot someone’s downfall with a grin on his face. He always spoke in half-truths. Even Marcus could not tell when he was lying. Perhaps it was because he was too good at lying himself that, when Risa took Dennis’s hand and told him that she would love him and that they could take on the world together, Dennis could tell at a glance that she was lying.

My sister, Ruby O'Brien—the family's formidable CEO—had just landed herself a top-tier celebrity boyfriend. Now the two of them were filming a reality show right in her house. All I wanted was to go home and collapse on the couch. Instead, I wound up as his living control group. While he worked out, I lay there. While he read books, I lay there. While he cooked gourmet meals, I still lay there. The internet wanted my head on a platter. [Poor Josh, stuck with a useless future brother-in-law!] [Someone drag that lazy bum off the screen. We just want to watch Josh and his girl fall in love!] [I heard he didn't even sit for the SATs. Total dropout, rotting away at home.] [That's our Jos

I pat myself on the back, the acting was superb. "Don't sit there acting stupid Labeebah. You transferred all that money, even cancelled the account. Why kind of human does that? Ehn? Tell me. How am I supposed to pay for the wedding when you take all the money." I don't say a word, I just keep scooping the chocolatey goodness into the spoon and into my mouth next.

“We are so screwed this time. Even Chief Summers’s son is here. Such bad luck!” She whispered, “We must’ve forgotten to check the calendar before we left the house and bumped into the god of misfortune. How could we be so unlucky! It must be Alex, that star of misfortune. I told you, nothing nice would come out of seeing that scoundrel. He’s the Assex’ harbinger of misfortune. Every time I see him, I’ll surely be out of luck. This bastard... why isn’t he the one that is out of luck yet?”

“Bringing in a problematic actress for a major brand dwam? That screams 'i hate my job and want to fuck them up'.” His lips pressed into a thin line. No answer. Exactly. "You claim she's your favourite actress. Which means you should know about her scandals. One where she's rude to people. She bullies actors below her. She got into a hit and run situation but made her driver who wasn't even there that day, to take the fall for her." I stared at him and made sure he knows I'm being serious "You picking her wasn't a mistake. It was a decision you made consciously. I wouldn't say anything to Cassio this time. But I hope it won't repeat itself."

Running his hand through his hair agitatedly, he breathed, closing his eyes for a few moments before continuing, "I don't know why Director Henson would overlook that side of your history and accept you on the cast in the first place. Why do you think you haven't gotten a shot in the industry over the last six years? I tell you no lie, Genevieve... You are an exceptional actress but a fucking trainwreck that runs through everything and ruin it.” Meeting her calm eyes, he rested his hands flat on the desk and said, “I can't have that on the set. You have caused enough damage within a day. Now that this series stand a chance of losing a lot more, I can't risk having a jinx as an actress on the
