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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Chapter 205 CNN Entertainment: “TROY ARMITAGE SWEEPS THE GRAMMYS IN UNPRECEDENTED FASHION” “History was made at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards last night, as 18-year-old Troy Armitage not only took home 12 trophies—including Album, Record, and Song of the Year—but also became the youngest artist to complete an EGOT. The British actor-turned-singer-songwriter stunned the world with a jaw-dropping medley performance and an unexpected onstage reunion with Rihanna that sent the internet into a…

- “Do you agree to these conditions as laid out by this contract and the remuneration of $250,000?” A judge asked me with an almost incredulous expression on his face. Asshole. He didn’t have to state my compensation for the Sixth Sense out loud. He was probably jealous that I, a 9-year-old, was earning from this movie more than what he probably earned for an entire year. Steve and Kathy took quite some time negotiating my remuneration with the producers. At first, they were offering me only…

- 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…

- Mum was driving me to the school when we saw that a few men were lurking around the front gate. That’s odd. Just then I caught sight of something black in one of the man’s hands and I could hazard a very good guess who they were. “Mum, reporters are here. Oh yes, I almost forgot. Drive around, the principal gave me permission to use the back entrance.” I ducked my head to avoid getting caught by the sight of any of the reporters. “I know about that. I didn’t think they’d be here…

- December 2006, Los Angeles, CA, USA "That was the best sex I've ever had," Rihanna whispered against my chest, her body draped gracefully in nothing but moonlight. "You keep getting better whenever we are apart. Are you practicing with someone else?" I chuckled at her joke before pressing a kiss to her temple. "Thanks, love. I missed you so much I just had to show you. It's a shame you can't move in after my birthday—then we could do this all day, every day, however many times you wanted." She…

- Barry took another copy of the page, “I’ll read it with you.” “Yes, Cole?” He asked me, indicating that he had begun the audition. “They used to hang people here.” I kept my voice low as if a little hesitant to answer the question. “That’s not correct. Where’d you hear that?” "They'd pull the people in crying and kissing their families bye... People watching would spit at them." I answered in a somber tone. "Cole, this was a legal courthouse. Laws were passed here. Some…

- It was in the evening that I got some very good news. News, that immediately made me forget about the troubles of the school day, be it my best friend, my classmates, or the media problem. All paled in comparison to what Steve told me. “Is it true? You aren’t joking, right?” I asked again excitedly. Steve chuckled at my enthusiasm, “You remember my friend Barry Mendel? We met at Sundance in January?” I nodded enthusiastically, “Yes. He was the one who is around your age but has those…

- September 2006, Kloves Residence, London I had thought that after my conversation with Mum, things would be fine. I was wrong. Dad, who had been in Los Angeles for work for the past few weeks, was finally back home—and he wasted no time berating me all over again. “You’re being obtuse,” he said, disappointment evident in his tone. “Did you forget that by pushing this idea, you’re not just hurting Warner Bros., but us as well? You get 10% of ’s revenue. If you breach the contract on your…

- June 2006, British Virgin IslandsI lounged on the vast, sandy shore stretching as far as the eye could see, wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses. The sun's rays tanned my body perfectly from head to toe.“For the love of God, can’t you at least wear some trunks?” a female voice said, irritation clear in her tone.I tilted my head slightly toward the speaker, the girl I had met only recently. Nadia Anton, Evan’s girlfriend, was undeniably beautiful, with a buxom figure and wavy blonde hair…
