Chapters
- Chapter 1I love motorbikes. I wasn’t rich, per se, but I had five of them in my little garage. My mom used to hate that I took one of my babies wherever I went instead of driving a car like normal people.Fuck normal people.They don’t know the joy of riding long distances in the fresh air, all the way out into the countryside—without a helmet—as the wind caresses your hair.Aah.I must have closed my eyes while riding because the next thing I knew, my baby had run over a boulder. The bike came to a…
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…- 963.2 K • Ongoing
- “I really love the work you’re doing for a cause you’re clearly very passionate about,” Larry King said after we talked about my charity for a good five minutes. “Let’s talk about other ventures that you’re involved in. I love the work you’ve done with Crocs, which has become an international brand today. Most people would agree that it was those provocative ads of yours that made Crocs a household name. Who came up with that idea?” I laughed at the question. It had been so long since…

- @RealNinaB: My dad just lost his retirement savings. Meanwhile, Troy Armitage made $26 BILLION from this crash. He’s 19. Nineteen. This is dystopia. I’ve lost all trust in our politicians for letting this happen. @OccupyWallStRedux: This isn't "smart investing", this is legalized looting. While Americans drown in debt, Troy Armitage is probably popping champagne on a yacht.#TroyArmitageExploitsCrisis @ThisIsYourEconomy: Reminder: You paid more in taxes last year than Troy Armitage did to become…

- M. Night Shyamalan took the stage after a few minutes and cleared his throat to gain everyone’s attention, “Thank you for watching our movie, hopefully, you liked it. Now we are opening the floor for any questions from you guys for any of the cast members.”Immediately, a myriad of hands rose in the air after all the actors took their seats on the chairs placed on the stage.“Yes, you, the lady in blue,” Night pointed out to the said lady.“Thank you,” she said into the mic that was handed to…

- It took some time, but finally, life was back to normalcy. I had heard somewhere that time heals all wounds. There is no substitute for a departed loved one, especially a parent, but people get used to living without them after a particular point. Evan adapted to living with us rather quickly. One thing I found strange was his insistence on fast-tracking his education using private tutors.“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Mum said slowly after listening to Evan’s request.Evan was ready with his…

- “‘Hope you have -- er -- a good holiday,’ said Hermione, looking uncertainly after Uncle Vernon, shocked that anyone could be so unpleasant. “‘Oh, I will,’ said Harry, and they were surprised at the grin that was spreading over his face. ‘They don't know we're not allowed to use magic at home. I'm going to have a lot of fun with Dudley this summer....’” “The End,” I read the last word of one of my favorite books before closing it shut. “And that’s how ends,…

- “What the hell are you doing walking so slow?” Patty groaned, running ahead of her best friend, Claire. “Don’t you remember the last time we couldn’t get the tickets for ? Do you want to repeat that experience?”“Calm your horses, Pat,” Claire said leisurely. “This isn’t that big of a film. It’s very niche. I don’t think there’ll be a big crowd for it.”“I don’t care!” Patty retorted. “On the off-chance there is a crowd, I don’t wanna wait to see the film.”Claire…

- “Hey, gang, what’re we doing?” I asked cheerfully as I sat opposite Ricky Gervais and his co-star Ashley Jensen. The latter, a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties, played the female lead in the show—the woman my character was currently lusting after.“Just eating,” Ashley replied.“Sweet.” I nodded confidently before leaning forward. “Look, thanks for covering my arse earlier. The offer still stands.”“What offer?” she asked, bewildered.“You know.” I gave her a meaningful look.…

I didn’t know what I was expecting when I drove over to Michelle’s place, but it definitely wasn’t the small, one-bedroom house with an adjoining studio. It was located just outside New York City, not too far from my place. The house was neat but could’ve used an upgrade. The fact that a big-shot casting director like Vic Ramos recommended this place to actors made me realize one thing about the profession: acting fucking sucks. For most people, at least. Unlike other coveted careers, acting…- 192.8 K • Ongoing
