“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…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- Nikki nervously wrung her wrists, her stomach twisting as she tried to calm herself. She still couldn’t believe she had landed the biggest role of her career, and that she’d be performing beside the biggest superstar in the world. Troy Armitage won awards left, right, and center wherever he went, and he was the only guaranteed box office success in today’s era. Then he was a billionaire, one of the most handsome guys out there, and a record-breaking musician as well. Sometimes, it was hard to…

- I walked into the living room of Casa Encantada after a long shower, which was badly needed after my hectic two-hour gym session involving weightlifting and Muay Thai. Working out has become my routine now, and I can’t imagine life without it. I used to maintain my shape in my past life as well, but back then it was mostly because of my profession. Who wants to see a pornstar who isn’t in good shape? Now, though, I do it as much for my health as for the aesthetics it adds to my looks. I walked…

- Taylor looked around nervously. The room was packed in a way that only happened on one of the most stacked nights of the month for American music. Wherever you looked, you could spot a superstar somewhere. Beyoncé chatted near the bar with Jay-Z, Lady Gaga wore a unique outfit that caught every camera flash, and Britney Spears conversed with Madonna against a backdrop of giant screens looping past VMA highlights. It was the kind of room that screamed fame. So it was understandable why Taylor felt a…

- (Flashback) Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, looked on nervously as his boss examined the app on the iPhone Chad had just handed him. Technically, Troy wasn’t Chad’s boss because he didn’t hold any position in the company, but when he held more than 70% shares, it made sense that he was treated like a boss. The teenager was far from ordinary. Despite his age, he was the richest self-made teenager in history, and arguably one of the most powerful individuals in the world at that…

I looked at my childhood home, where I’d spent most of my life. I hadn’t realized until now how strange it would feel, knowing Dad had already sold the property to someone else, and was a tenant in his own home. “You don’t have to sell it,” I said to my father, who stood beside me. “I can loan you some money, and you can—” “And I can keep an old, run-down, ugly house for sentiments that no one cares about but you?” he asked rhetorically. “No, thanks. And I told you last time…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- “What is it?” Emily looked between Benji and me curiously. “What happened?” Benji opened his mouth to answer her, but I cut him off. “Nothing of importance. You will find out soon enough. For now, let's meet the cast quickly. I have to get my body spray-painted for today’s scene, which will take some extra time.” Emily pouted, though she didn't argue, and led me toward a lounge area on the other side of the set. The space felt relaxed, with the cast members lounging on couches and…

- (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…

- We lay there silently for hours, turning over every thirty minutes at the chime of the stopwatch. The sun bore down relentlessly, but the ocean breeze softened its sting. We applied sunscreen on most of our bodies ourselves, with the sole exception of our backs. Those, we hesitantly helped each other with, laughing awkwardly at first until the tension faded. I drifted off many times during the tanning period, the warmth of the sand and sun lulling me into brief naps. After the first few minutes, all of…

- Scarlett stared at me with her mouth slightly open, completely stunned. For a moment, she looked frozen in time. I stayed on one knee for almost a full minute, waiting patiently, but she still didn’t say anything. The silence felt heavier with every passing second. "Yes, no, maybe?" I asked finally. "Come on, say something. My knee is hurting." "Get up then," she instructed, sounding composed again. "Let’s discuss this before I answer you." That was not what I expected. I hadn’t ever…
