“What the fuck happened to you?” Scarlett demanded the moment she stepped through the doorway of the modern seaside villa they were renting in Wellington. The wind from outside still clung to her jacket, and her eyes landed immediately on Troy, who was sitting in a wheelchair near the dining table. “Nothing,” Troy replied, a little too quickly. His tone was defensive. “Why would anything happen to me?” “Yeah, nothing happened when you fell off that horse either,” she remarked…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
- Emily still found it hard to believe how dramatically her life had changed since meeting Troy. What had begun as a casual friendship with a global superstar had snowballed into something far greater, so much so that even she sometimes struggled to recognize her own life. In just the past year, she and Rob had filmed two back-to-back movies, each earning five million dollars. It was a staggering figure for actors their age, almost surreal. Yet, the films hadn’t even premiered, and there was no…

- “Congratulations on your wins tonight, Troy,” a female reporter called out as soon as I stepped into the press area for post-win interviews. “Thank you,” I replied, offering a calm, gracious smile. She wasted no time in making me regret coming here. “My question to you is this: Isn’t it hypocrisy when you perform so openly with Michael Jackson, who is infamous for sleeping with kids the same age that your charity is trying to save? How is it fair that you accused Epstein of heinous crimes…

- Flashback “That’s a great idea,” I said, genuinely impressed by the concept. Bruno, the representative from the Recording Academy, lit up at the praise. “Thank you! I’ve been working to bring together old and new Grammy winners for quite a while, and the golden anniversary seemed like the perfect time to do it. It feels validating to hear that from someone at your level.” I could see the flattery from a mile away. It was the kind of polite ass-kissing I had grown used to, especially…

- February 2008, Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Why did we leave the red carpet early?” Scarlett asked in a low whisper as we were guided to our seats. The auditorium was already half full, buzzing with murmured conversations and the low hum of anticipation. Most of the non-red carpet guests had already arrived. My family had stayed behind this time for security reasons. “It’s just security being security,” I replied, keeping my tone casual. “They initially told me not to stop for…

- Reed Hastings looked over at the young billionaire in front of him. The guy appeared quite normal, aside from the fact that most people on the planet knew who he was. Troy Armitage was considered the biggest superstar of the current generation, and the richest as well. So for him to be interested in their company was a little unprecedented. “What’s the matter, Reed?” Troy broke his silence. “I think we can all agree that the valuation of $2.5 billion that I’m offering is quite generous for…

- LunaBliss: I don’t remember the last time I cried this much. I watched the full video, along with dozens of others that Troy had linked in the description. How can anyone do that to another human being, let alone children? I want to hurt someone right now. #NotProstitutes #ReleaseEpsteinNames Lucy_12: I feel the same. Hats off to Troy for standing up to our corrupt government. I don’t think I would have had the courage to do what he did if I were in his place. I was never a big fan of his, but now?…

- (Flashback) “Go on,” Robert Mueller said, leaning forward with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. “I’m suddenly very curious about your foundation.” So I talked. I explained all the ways our charity had helped tens of thousands of lives across the globe, from building shelters to rescuing minors from abusive environments. “The saddest part of all this is that so many people need saving from monsters—and most of the time, those monsters are people they know. A relative. A neighbor. A…

- “Easy, boy,” I called out to the horse standing in front of me. Just like me and Zoe, the horse was fitted with motion-sensing balls all over its body, allowing the VFX team to use its real movements as the basis for the animated creature they would later create. “Pale is female,” Zoe corrected in her accented voice. The team had decided that the native Na’vi people would speak in an accent distinct from American or British English, which made sense when you thought about it. Anyone learning…
