“I just want to talk to her, Jackie,” Troy said emphatically.“And I told you that she is studying for her mock exams,” Emma’s mother retorted. “Why can’t you come back in a few weeks when she’s done with all her exams rather than disturbing her right now with…whatever this is?”From what Emma could gather, her mother wasn’t too happy with Troy at the moment and wasn’t shy about showing her disapproval. With the way their breakup had affected Emma, it made sense. Troy hadn’t said…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

(Flashback)"Robyn," a middle-aged woman called out from the seat beside her. "When will you let me meet this boyfriend of yours? I'll be honest with you, I don't like you dating some white boy. I need to see if he's good enough for you."Rihanna rolled her eyes but didn't look away from the road as she drove her new Audi R8. "I don't think anyone will ever be good enough for you, Mama. And why do you have a problem with his race when Dad wasn't fully black either?""He was black enough for me," she said…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

A bold headline caught his eye: ‘ set to cast its spell next week.’ Tempting, but Dennis didn’t feel like stepping out—not even for magic.He sighed. Why couldn’t…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

My case worker left after accompanying me inside the house that was situated in Greenwich. It was a modest two story house in a quiet neighborhood. My room was on the second floor with a bed, a desk and a closet. Nice enough for my current requirements. “You like it, kid?” A male voice came from the door. I turned and saw my new guardian Steve leaning against the door. Now that I take in his appearance properly, he was a man on the chubbier side with a resting bitch face. Yeah, the…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

After a week of negotiations, Mum had finally confirmed my salary. As she had predicted, my base salary was $2 million for the first part, and they may increase it to $5 million or even higher for the second part based on my performance and other factors like the film’s box office. For every consecutive movie, the earlier film’s performance would be a benchmark for increasing any future remuneration.Then came the part of box office and home revenue participation. I would get the same percentage of the…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Barry Meyer could sense a headache coming from a mile away. Sometimes he was baffled by the sheer stupidity that some members of Warner’s board of directors showed. Every once in a while, a studio would stumble upon a goldmine of a film that changed their profitability immensely. It was disheartening to know that some people were too stupid to realize that.“You have to tell them that the amount we are paying them is too much,” Sherry Peters, one of the most vocal members of the board, said firmly.…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Lea couldn’t believe her luck. It had to be luck. What else could it be? Just yesterday, her best friend Jonathan and she were scheduled to fly to Pittsburgh to audition for a role in a Troy Armitage movie. Struggling actors like them couldn’t afford to pay for their tickets. Thankfully, the production team liked their audition tapes so much that they also sent over flight tickets. They were economy, but better than going on their own. Then the worst thing happened—they missed their flight because of…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“Oh my fucking God!” Rihanna moaned in satisfaction while lying on my bare chest. “That was the best one ever. I think I’m addicted to you.”“Glad you think so, love.” I grinned, placing a kiss on her forehead. My hand traveled down her bare skin, and with every inch explored by my fingers, she shivered in anticipation.Unfortunately, I couldn’t give her another round just now, so I stopped at her lower back.“What?” She groaned in disappointment. “Why did you stop?”“You know why,”…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

"Seriously?" Rihanna shot me an irritated look. "You can't even guess why a singer would want to go on tour?""But I'm not a real singer like you," I argued. Even to my own ears, it sounded weak.That was apparently the wrong thing to say because Rihanna's response was anything but calm. "If you're not a singer, then who is!? Your album is still number one on Billboard. Are they stupid for including a non-singer's album on their list?""No…?" I answered hesitantly. "Are you okay, love? Why are you so angry…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
