LanieI had stopped at a bottle store to buy some good wine with Nancy in mind. She was very depressed these days because she had to be separated from Jake, who was a guy who was doing so much good for her. In the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of witnessing my friend go from being a sad and depressed woman who had been completely destroyed and sucked in by a failed marriage to seeing her transform into a happy, self-possessed, and empowered woman because of the company of that man. It was as if she had been a caterpillar this whole time, and only now had she come out of her cocoon and shown herself to the world; even her recent haircut made her look stronger than ever. But these evils always ended up coming back to torment her, which is why she had decided to stay away from Jake. I, in particular, hadn't liked hearing that, but as always, I respected her decision. I didn't have a family or anything like that, so I always considered Nancy my soul sister, and I worried about
LanieI knew Bruce was a heartless animal, but after hearing these problematic lines from him, I began to realize that his case needed a straightjacket and prison. “You billionaires who think you own the world and are superior to human laws are a shame for our society. You fucking know very well that you can't buy a human being like you could buy damned cattle! Shame on you, you piece of shit!”“Oh, so the empowered woman who is far superior to today’s sexist system is nervous, uh?” he mocked me. He was trying to throw in my face the fact that I never wanted to get married and start a family because most of the time a woman's place was always in the kitchen, taking care of the house, the children, and the husband, and that There were few opportunities for us in this world dominated by men. I had never dreamed of that, quite the opposite, I always wanted to wear a suit and deal with dangerous matters that only hard-core men were involved in, like working in a casino, for example; I w
CandaceWe didn't stay long at the Morton mansion after we said our goodbyes; we packed up quickly and then moved into the house that my father-in-law had bought us as a gift in an attempt to convince Harald and me to stay in Denver. I gasped loudly, and my eyes lit up when the car stopped in front of the house where my husband and I were going to live. "Oh my God! What an amazing place!" I exclaimed, suppressed, getting out of the car and looking at the mansion, which had very clean architecture. Harald didn't say anything, but you could see from his face that he too was surprised by the way the place looked; the servants were already carrying our suitcases, which were in another car, into the house. “Did you like it, Harald? It is splendid, isn't it? I want to take a look inside! Come with me?" I said, inviting him with a little giggle and running towards the house. The entrance door was high, almost to the ceiling, and inside it was spacious, fresh, and white. The house was alr
NancyJake and I decided to take a longer car trip to New York, opting for the scenic route to avoid Bruce’s watchful eye and to seize the opportunity to spend more time together, enjoying the beautiful cities and the climate of traveling by car, thus getting in touch with nature in the south of the country. We left California a few days after arriving, heading for Texas via Arizona. Jake and I were eager to create pleasant memories; he even had an old Polaroid camera that developed the photo immediately after it was taken. Occasionally, we stopped in the middle of nowhere to walk hand in hand, stretching our legs and enjoying nature, since we were traveling by car. With Jake, I felt no rush to reach our destination because, with him, I felt like I had already arrived.“What a beautiful woman I have! Definitely a sight for sore eyes,” he commented passionately as I tried to concentrate on navigating the road stop.I laughed at his silliness and nearly veered off the road, distracted b
Amber Morton“Kris, your fake boyfriend got his girl pregnant, and you had the nerve to try to bribe the girl to get pregnant in exchange for money. All this so you can keep your name unsullied before the public? Wow, Amber! You really are a bitter girl, aren’t you?” A female voice said, and I knew that voice very well; it was the voice of Jade McLaughlin, my arch-enemy.I was still standing in front of the building where Kris lived. My heart almost stopped beating as I stared at my cell phone screen with a disbelieving expression. Had Jade found out about that? But I had barely left Kris' apartment. How come she already had this information? It was true that I had gone to meet Kris and his girlfriend to discuss her pregnancy. Kris and I had been maintaining a fake relationship for years, just to keep our status at the level it was at. It wasn't easy to stay famous, and always, in the trends of the moment, it was necessary to tell a lie here and there. Everyone did that in the celebr
Amber MortonWhen I woke up the next morning, chaos had really taken hold in the world of media. So much had happened that it was difficult to take it all in at once, but my advisor made sure to keep me up to date. They told me that after the photo I posted and after the gossip sites bombarded the internet with scandals about Kris, photos, videos, screenshots of his DM being an arrogant, abusive guy who had never really valued me, the basics of scandals that served to destroy someone's career, and the revelation that he had gotten another woman pregnant while still dating me, was the icing on the cake. In only one night, Kris' two million followers grotesquely plummeted to three hundred thousand, and several advertising companies and stretchers stopped following him too; that guy was completely canceled and wasn't going to bounce back so easily. Even the exposed that came out of me about Jade's recording, which seemed like I was bribing Kris's girlfriend so that she could terminate h
NancyAfter spending almost two weeks traveling by car, Jake and I finally arrived in New York. The car trip from Las Vegas to here was great, with stops to enjoy the landscape and dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Texas waterfalls. I had never experienced anything as exciting as what I've experienced with Jake so far; I looked like a child, radiant at finally finding my happiness in his company. Jake had a medium-sized flat in downtown Manhattan that he lived alone in. The place was well-equipped and bold, perfect for a single man. The house only had one bedroom, and the first thing I thought about was where my children would sleep if they came to visit me. “By the look on your face, it looks like you didn’t like the house very much,” he said with an embarrassed chuckle, and then scratched his head. “If you want, we can change the furniture; I don’t know. Bring more life to the place? It is like, I don't spend much time at home, so I kind of...”“Jake, you don't have to exp
Nancy“Oh, Jake. You really are old-fashioned. Even I have a profile on the social network! I was kind of forced to create it by my daughter; I even have, I don't know, a hundred thousand followers. I am not sure. Furthermore, I haven’t seen anything on social media in a long time,” I told him. “Hm, so you're famous, uh? With all this beauty, I wouldn't be surprised,” he said and sniffed my neck, making me laugh. "I am not! In fact, the most popular one is my daughter. Would you like to see her?” I took out my cell phone to show it to him. “I bet she's as pretty as you,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s quite possible that she’s even more beautiful than me,” I commented, logging into the app and searching for her profile name. I was shocked when I saw that she had almost ten million followers now. Some time ago, we were celebrating her reaching five million followers, and now she already has all that. “Wow! She's really becoming popular now,” I commented, suppressed. Jake peeked ove
