- “I have a counter-question for you,” Troy replied immediately, without an ounce of worry in his voice. “If I were to play a gay character tomorrow, would it also be considered hypocritical because I’m not gay in real life?” “Of course,” the woman retorted. “A gay actor would bring more authenticity to such a story.” “By that logic, I’m also not a homicidal maniac, so I shouldn’t play the Joker. Do you know an unhinged person like him we could cast in the next Batman movie?…

I decided to glare at the man who’d barged inside without so much as knocking, but the way he looked at Emma told me he meant business. “Cameron!” Emma gasped. “Couldn’t you have knocked?” “I got a call from your production team,” Cameron began without wasting a second. “They complained that you were acting like a diva and refusing to shoot.

- 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…

- A woman I knew intimately. A woman who’d shaken my world to the core, first privately in Greece, then publicly when our scandal surfaced in tabloids around the world. Acacia Zervas.

- February turned to March, and my days followed a steady, fulfilling routine. My weekdays were meticulously structured: three to four hours of intensive study sessions, one to one-and-a-half hours of immersive music lessons, and an hour and a half each dedicated to vigorous dance and martial arts training. Weekends were my sanctuary, offering a respite from the demanding schedule. I often sought solace in the nearby park, where the chirping of birds and rustling of leaves provided a serene backdrop as I…
