Award-winning actress got canceled

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-16 17:22:59

The Frosts' family name glittered like the icy diamonds they were known for, and Selena embodied it all. 

She ascended the stage at the Frost Theater, her sheer golden gown shimmering under the spotlights, hugging her figure in all the right ways. Her cascading, dark hair framed a face so delicate and radiant, it made every pair of eyes in the room linger.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the presenter announced, voice charged with admiration, "the award for Best Actress goes to...Selena Frost!"

Selena Frost, the reigning princess of the big screen, had just been announced as the Actress of the Year, and the audience was on its feet, cheering wildly as she ascended the stage.

Selena’s beauty was a spell, and it worked on everyone. Men craned their necks for a better view as she glided up the stairs, their gazes pausing too long on the gentle sway of her hips or the confidence in her stride. Even women, some with envy and others with genuine admiration, couldn’t help but acknowledge her star power.

Among the crowd, men whispered about her ethereal beauty. "She's more goddess than human," one murmured to another. 

One man, however, didn’t join the chorus of admiration.

Selena reached the microphone, her smile soft yet radiant.

"This award," she began, her voice a melody that silenced the crowd, "isn’t just for me. It’s for everyone who believed in me when no one else did. My team, my father—Harrison Frost—and most importantly, my fans. You’ve been my guiding light, my inspiration. This is for you."

Julian Mathers, the enigmatic billionaire seated in the shadows, watched her with a dark stare. 

His tailored black suit fit him like a second skin, the sharp lines of his jaw emphasizing his undeniable handsomeness. His presence commanded attention without effort, exuding power so effortlessly that people whispered about his influence and control. But while others ogled Selena like a jewel, Julian’s expression remained unreadable.

Julian’s eyes stayed locked on Selena and a faint smirk played at the corners of his lips.

—------

The joy of the night was fleeting.

Because the next morning, Selena woke to chaos.

Her phone buzzed incessantly with calls, texts, and notifications. Headlines screamed accusations in bold letters:

"Actress of the Year Arrested for DUI!"

 "Selena Frost’s Fatal Crash from six years ago!"

"#CancelSelena Trends Worldwide!"

“Celebrity S Arrested for DUI!”

“The Fall of a Frost Princess.”

“Selena Frost: Talent, Beauty, and a Criminal Record?”

Selena sat frozen on her bed, her fingers trembling as she scrolled through the news. Paparazzi photos of her leaving the after-party filled the internet, her eyes slightly red and her steps wobbly. Someone had captured a blurry image of her getting into a car—her car—and now the world believed she’d driven under the influence and caused a fatal accident.

Her heart pounded as she read the comments beneath the articles.

"Never meet your heroes. Selena Frost is a monster."

"She deserves to rot in jail. No one’s above the law."

“So much for her sweet ‘princess’ image. Fake from the start!"

She didn’t remember driving that night, let alone causing an accident. But the evidence—photos, videos, even a damning audio recording of her allegedly slurring her words—seemed irrefutable.

Worse, the betrayal cut deep. Fans she thought would defend her turned on her. 

"How fake can she be? Just yesterday she was playing innocent."

"Selena Frost, another spoiled brat who thinks she’s above the law!"

Even Ann Darrow, a fellow actress and once a trusted friend, went on a talk show to condemn her.

"I’ve known Selena for years," Ann said, her tone dripping with faux concern. "I never imagined she’d do something so reckless. My heart goes out to the victims’ families."

Selena clenched her fists, fury mingling with despair. Ann was lying. They hadn’t spoken in months.

The police came for her hours later.

Selena sat in a cold, sterile interrogation room, her silver cuffs glinting under the harsh fluorescent lights. She wore no makeup, her hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. Across from her, a detective loomed, his eyes sharp and unforgiving.

"You want to explain how your car ended up at the scene of the crash?" he asked.

"I wasn’t driving that night..or maybe I was..I don't know. It was six years ago but I'm sure I didn't kill anybody. This is all false," Selena let out, her voice firm despite her trembling hands. "I didn’t—"

"The evidence says otherwise," he interrupted. "Witnesses saw you getting behind the wheel. And this recording—" 

He hit play on his phone.

Selena’s blood ran cold as her own voice—slurred and hazy—came through the speaker. "I’ll be fine...I’m not even that drunk."

Her breath hitched. "That’s not me! Someone’s framing me!"

The detective’s lips curled into a skeptical smile. "Framing you? You’re telling me that someone went through the trouble of faking all of this? The photos, the video, the audio?"

"Yes!" Selena insisted, her voice breaking. "I don’t know how, but—"

The door opened, and the officer on duty walked in. "Bail denied."

Selena’s heart sank. She was stuck.

Meanwhile, her father, Harrison Frost, was in a state of rage.

In his sprawling mansion, he paced the floor, yelling into his phone. "What do you mean you can’t get her out?"

"Mr. Frost," his head attorney replied, his voice strained, "the evidence against Selena is overwhelming. The judge won’t budge."

"It’s all fabricated!" Harrison bellowed. "Someone’s behind this, and I want to know who."

"That’s the thing, sir," the lawyer said hesitantly. "Whoever’s behind this...they’re powerful. More powerful than we anticipated."

Harrison froze. For the first time, he felt powerless.

As if to taunt him further, his phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. Harrison answered, his tone sharp. "Who is this?"

The voice on the other end was smooth, almost amused. "Mr. Frost. I hear you’re in quite the predicament."

"Who are you?" Harrison snapped.

"Someone who can help your daughter. But my help comes at a price."

"Listen here—"

"Calm down, Mr. Frost. This is a business proposition. Meet me, and we’ll talk."

Before Harrison could respond, the line went dead.

Across the city, in a sleek, glass-paneled office, Julian Mathers set down his phone. His smirk deepened as he swiveled his chair to face the twinkling skyline. 

"Selena Frost," he murmured to himself, his grey eyes glinting with intrigue. "Let’s see how far Daddy’s willing to go."

His aide entered, a folder in hand. "Sir, the smear campaign is going according to plan. Public sentiment is overwhelmingly negative. #CancelSelena is still trending."

Julian waved a hand dismissively. "That’s the easy part. Now comes the fun."

The aide hesitated. "If I may ask, sir...why her? There are other ways to go after Frost Industries."

Julian leaned back, steepling his fingers. "This isn’t just about Frost Industries. Selena...she’s special. And sometimes, you have to break something beautiful to truly own it."

The aide swallowed hard but said nothing.

As the city buzzed with outrage and controversy, Julian Wright stood poised, a predator waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

And Selena Frost, unaware of the depths of the trap laid for her, was about to learn just how dangerous the game had become.

    Selena stood frozen in the middle of the luxurious bedroom, her breaths shallow and uneven. She felt like a rabbit caught in a hunter’s gaze, and the hunter was Julian Mathers. He stood by the window with his tall frame. The sleeves of his crisp white shirt were rolled up, exposing strong forearms, and the top buttons were undone, revealing a hint of his toned chest. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, and his intense, almost predatory gaze was locked on her. Selena’s heart pounded in her chest as he took a slow, deliberate step toward her. She felt the heat of his presence before he even touched her. “Why are you trembling?” Julian asked, his voice a low, velvety drawl. He smirked, a wicked glint in his dark eyes. “Are you afraid of me?” She swallowed hard, her throat becoming dry. “I’m not afraid of you,” she lied because her voice was barely above a whisper. Julian’s smirk deepened as he closed the distance between them. He tilted his head, studying her with the intens

    Julian stormed into his study, slamming the door shut behind him. His chest heaved with labored breaths as he ripped off his tie, tossing it carelessly onto the floor. His jaw clenched tightly, and his usually composed demeanor was nowhere to be found. “Damn it!” he growled, his voice echoing in the quiet room. He raked his hand through his disheveled hair, his fingers trembling slightly. The memory of her—of Selena, standing in front of him, vulnerable, nervous, and undeniably beautiful—was seared into his mind. He slammed his fist onto the desk, the sound reverberating through the room. “What the hell is wrong with me?” Julian leaned forward, gripping the back of his chair so tightly his knuckles turned white. His dark eyes closed, but instead of finding peace, they conjured her image with maddening clarity. Her scent lingered on him—soft, sweet, and utterly intoxicating. He sucked in a sharp breath, his nostrils flaring as if her presence was still surrounding him. His gr

    Julian was reviewing documents in his office, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood of his desk. The silence was interrupted by the buzzing of his phone. He picked it up, his brow furrowing when he saw the call was from one of the guards stationed at the gate. “What is it?” Julian asked, his voice sharp. “Sir,” the guard began hesitantly, “you’re not going to believe this… but Mrs. Mathersis actually climbing the gate.” Julian froze, his eyes narrowing. “What did you just say?” “We tried to stop her, sir, but she’s not listening to us. We even sent you a photo.” Julian quickly opened the attached image. Sure enough, there was Selena, mid-climb, her dress bunched up awkwardly, her expression a mixture of defiance and determination. He stared at the photo for a long moment, disbelief mingling with something dangerously close to amusement. His assistant, standing nearby, glanced at the phone and barely suppressed a laugh. “She’s persistent, I’ll give her

    Selena sighed in relief the moment Julian disappeared down the hallway. She had expected him to flip out about her climbing the gate or make some harsh remark that would cut through her like a blade, but instead, he had been almost… calm. Calm in a way that made her skin crawl with unease. She bit her lip as her father’s words echoed in her mind: You’ll be forgotten. Your career will end. The thought of losing everything she had worked so hard for made her chest tighten. “Should I talk to him?” she whispered to herself, glancing toward the direction he’d gone. “Would he even listen?” Before she could overthink it, her feet moved on their own, following him down the hallway. She hesitated at his door, taking a deep breath before pushing it open slightly. Her heart skipped a beat. Julian stood in the middle of the room, his back to her, unbuttoning his shirt. The fabric slid down his shoulders, revealing taut muscles and smooth skin. Selena’s face heated as she froze, unable t

    The morning at Grant Enterprises was as usual—sharp-dressed employees buzzing around with files, coffee mugs in hand, and nerves on edge. Julian Mather’s reputation preceded him, and the entire company thrived on his precision and ruthless drive for success. Every employee knew Julian demanded perfection. Even a single mistake could result in a devastating reprimand or, worse, immediate termination. A group of his senior staff, including department heads and his temporary assistant, gathered in the grand conference hall. They were rehearsing their reports for the day. “Everything must be perfect,” one of the department heads, Martin, murmured as he flipped through his notes. “Mr. Mather won’t tolerate stuttering or incomplete answers.” “Do we even know who the new secretary is?” whispered Clara, the head of marketing. “No idea,” Martin replied, adjusting his tie nervously. “But whoever it is must be extraordinary if Mr. Mather chose them personally.” Clara scoffed softly. “

    The soft glow of the fireplace flickered across the dimly lit living room, casting long, dancing shadows that painted the walls with a warm, intimate hue. Julian leaned back on the couch, his arm stretched along the top, a silent observer of Selena as she tucked her legs beneath her, creating a cozy nest of her oversized sweater. There was something about the way the firelight danced in her eyes, catching the subtle flecks of gold and amber, that made his chest tighten with a complex mix of tenderness and a vague, unsettling apprehension. He’d always admired her quiet strength, but tonight, there was a fragile vulnerability that both captivated and worried him."You've been quiet," he murmured, his voice a low rumble that barely disturbed the stillness, reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

He caressed her breasts, teasing the nipples until they were taut with desire.Feeling the firmness of his erection pressed against her, Selena couldn't resist any longer and reached down to stroke him slowly.

    Paris was everything Selena had imagined, and yet, it was also so much more. It was a living, breathing dream, a symphony of sights, sounds, and scents that resonated deep within her soul. She had seen the postcards, read the novels, watched the romantic comedies, but nothing, absolutely nothing, could have prepared her for the sheer, intoxicating reality of being here. The city hummed with a vibrant energy, a palpable sense of history and romance that permeated every cobblestone street, every ornate building, every whispered conversation. Every corner held a story, every street exuded a timeless charm, and every glance Julian sent her way, every touch, every word, amplified the magic tenfold.Their first morning in Paris, the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains of their bedroom, Julian had woken her with a gentle kiss on her forehead, a feather-light touch that sent a shiver down her spine.

    The moment Selena stepped out of the airport, the cool, crisp Parisian air brushed against her skin, a gentle welcome to a world she had only dreamed of. Even through the lingering exhaustion that clung to her after the long flight, a weariness that settled deep in her bones, she couldn't suppress the involuntary intake of breath, a deep, reverent sigh that allowed the reality of her arrival to finally permeate her senses. She was in Paris.The city unfolded before her, a tapestry of golden hues under the soft, diffused light of the morning sun. The streets, a labyrinth of history and charm, were lined with buildings that whispered tales of centuries past. Balconies, adorned with intricate wrought-iron railings, jutted out from aged facades, like delicate lace against stone. Cafés, already bustling with early risers, spilled onto the sidewalks, their tables filled with animated conversations and the clinking of porcelain. Flower stalls, vibrant splashes of color against the muted ton

    Selena's fingers trembled slightly as she laced them through Julian's, the cool leather of the first-class seat a stark contrast to the warmth radiating from his hand. She had barely lifted a finger in preparation for her move to Paris, the sheer magnitude of the task seeming insurmountable until Julian had swept in, a whirlwind of calm efficiency.From the moment she had confessed her readiness, a fragile whisper of "I think I'm ready," he had transformed into a force of nature. Plane tickets materialized, visa paperwork was navigated with an almost supernatural ease, and a charming apartment in the heart of the Latin Quarter was secured, all before she could fully grasp the reality of her impending departure.A flicker of guilt, sharp and insistent, pricked at her conscience. "Julian, I can do this. You don’t have to take care of everything," she had protested, her voice laced with a mixture of gratitude and unease. The feeling of being overwhelmed, yet so intensely cared for, was a

    The morning light filtered through the arched windows of the opera house, painting golden streaks across the worn wooden floors. Selena paused in the grand foyer, her fingers trailing along the smooth marble banister as she inhaled deeply. The familiar scent of aged wood, rosin, and the faintest hint of lemon polish filled her lungs—a fragrance that had become as comforting to her as home. Her ballet flats made no sound as she moved through the labyrinthine hallways, past practice rooms where the sounds of scales and arpeggios spilled into the corridor. A violinist tuned her instrument nearby, the sharp notes cutting through the morning quiet. Somewhere, a soprano ran through a challenging passage from La Traviata, her voice rising and falling like a bird testing its wings. This was her world. And today, she would set her dream in motion. Madame Laurent was exactly where Selena knew she'd be—in the small rehearsal room at the end of the east wing, her silver-streaked hair pull
