I was overwhelmed. Never in a million years did I imagine receiving such an honor from someone like Michael Jackson. The allegations against him might have made people question his character, but no one could deny his talent, his influence, or the weight his words carried. Even if the name he gave me didn’t stick (which I hoped it wouldn’t), I would still cherish it forever because of Michael’s intentions, which I knew were genuine. One thing I had learned during all my time with him was that…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Austin was practically glued to his computer screen, refreshing the page of his new favorite browser, Chrome, with the fervor of someone trying to summon a miracle. For the past few days, he had been doing this every few hours, hoping that somehow, somewhere, a stray ticket might appear. “Leave it,” Marissa said from beside him, lounging on the couch with her phone in hand. “It’s no use. You just weren’t lucky enough to get the seats. Accept it.” Austin shot her a glare sharp enough to…

- “Keep going! Just like that! Now turn around and end it with your best moonwalk!” I followed MJ’s instructions precisely, letting the rhythm carry me across the smooth studio floor. The mirrors on the walls reflected every move, the glide, the spin, the snap of my foot as I landed the pose. I ended with my arms stretched wide, legs crossed dramatically, just as Michael would have done. “Bravo!” MJ clapped enthusiastically, his laughter echoing through the rehearsal hall. He stepped forward…

- “But General Motors is considered one of the worst stocks to invest in right now,” Patricia said with a small frown. “I may not be as savvy an investor as Richard, but even I know that.” Troy smiled faintly, leaning back in his chair lazily. “Exactly. It’s hovering near its all-time low of the last decade. I had a meeting with someone very high up in the government a few days ago and received some information about what’s happening behind the scenes, things not yet known to the public.…

- “Action!” The moment the word was said, the entire set came alive. Music filled the air, echoing through the vast soundstage like a heartbeat as everyone moved in unison. It felt less like a film shoot and more like watching a living, breathing symphony. Scarlett and Natalie Portman were at the center, their movements blending seamlessly with those of the professional ballet dancers surrounding them. There was no clear distinction between the stars and the background performers, yet my eyes never…

- The moment we stepped into the Presidential Suite, the door clicked shut behind us. Quiet luxury enveloped the space—elegant, expensive, utterly private. It was strange how accustomed I’d grown to places like this, barely giving it a second glance, while Scarlett let out a low whistle of appreciation. Early in my acting career, I hadn’t been extravagant. Growing up poor with my biological mother had left me wary of spending on things I didn’t need. My adoptive parents had broken that habit by…

- April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…

(Chapter 5) I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you…- 20.0 K • Ongoing
- (Chapter 1: Prologue) “Don’t worry, mister,” a panicked man shouted as he ran toward me. “I’ve called an ambulance. Everything’s going to be okay.” I scoffed weakly, even as pain screamed through every nerve in my body. Nothing was going to save me now. I lay sprawled on the asphalt, half my body crushed beneath the massive wheel of a delivery truck. The smell of burnt rubber mixed with gasoline hung heavy in the air, and somewhere nearby, a car horn kept blaring nonstop, as if…
