STS Ch-17
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…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

“I’m telling you, Rose, it will happen this time. Mark my words, we’ll trap the son of a bitch for sure,” said Melissa Gillis, the investigator Rose had been working with. Her tone carried the kind of conviction that came only after months of frustration. “It helps that the woman we have asked for help this time around is a complete professional and knows what she’s getting into,” added Anthony Hernandez, Melissa’s partner, his voice steady but his eyes betraying fatigue. Rose only…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-315
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…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-67
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…- 199.4 K • Ongoing

January 2009, Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, CA, USA The ballroom fell into an expectant hush as the presenter tore open the envelope. “And the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress goes to… Kate Winslet for .” The crowd erupted into applause. Winslet kissed her husband quickly, her face alight with joy, before making her way to the stage in a graceful stride. “Strange,” Mum murmured beside me, sipping her champagne. “I thought she’d be winning one for her lead performance…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

CG Part-2
(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

DOS Ch-287
Rose McGowan sat at the edge of the couch, fingers worrying the hem of her sleeve. The mansion smelled amazing, a faint mix of honey, rose, and jasmine. Yet, she wasn’t comforted by it at all. She had been in this position too many times to pretend she did not know what might follow. From an early age she had been aware of her good looks. Wherever she went, someone always mentioned them. So when an agent promised a big break in Hollywood before she turned eighteen, she had said yes without thinking.…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-316
Somehow, the announcement of our engagement and pregnancy pushed every mention of my birthday to the side. It was as if that no longer mattered, and to be fair, I agreed. Mum let out a delighted gasp as she took Scarlett’s hand, her eyes sparkling, just like the lilac stone she was admiring. “I love that ring. I would’ve loved to give you something ancestral, but Troy never told me his intentions.” She shot me one of her mild glares, the kind she used when she was scolding me without really…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“Thank you for agreeing to do a longer performance, Troy. I can’t tell you how much everyone is waiting for that,” the slimy man said, rubbing his hands together like a caricatured villain from a comic book. His wide grin never faltered as my hairstylist moved around me, carefully arranging each strand so I would look flawless on stage. “By the way, have you decided on your next album already? For next year’s Grammys?” I arched an eyebrow at him through the mirror. “Why do you wanna…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-334
One moment I was lifting Emily into the air, the next she was trying to attack me with everything she had. “Put me down!” she cried, panic sharp in her voice. Her hands turned into frantic, metaphorical claws, swiping wildly and coming within an inch of scratching my face clean off. So, of course, I put her down. The instant her feet touched the ground, she curled in on herself like she was trying to disappear, then bolted off the set without a word. She didn’t even pause to explain what had…- 965.9 K • Ongoing
