Chapter 91

AngelicaHe hated me.I hated me.The world hated me.The only person that actually tolerated me was my mom, probably because my paychecks made it possible for her to live the life of a rock star. Plastic surgery, new cars, houses in Mexico - she had it all because of me.Because of the grueling schedule she'd forced me into when I was two and barely able to talk.My first word was commercial.My second was hotdog.Mainly because that was the commercial I starred in, it was the first big paycheck my mom cashed."You're gonna be famous, baby!" Mama hugged me tight, squeezing me until my lungs almost popped from the force. It was the first hug she'd given me in weeks. The first time she'd smiled in what felt like forever. And even at that age I knew, that if I could just keep her happy - that would be enough."Fun!" I giggled. "Fun, mama!""Mama will always be fun for you."It was a lie.She was only fun when I did what she said.I closed my eyes against the sting of tear

Chapter 92

Will"You look more pissed off than usual." Lincoln sprayed water across the ground giving it a wet effect and then tossed the hose.I rubbed under my eyes and glanced away from it all.Away from the cameras.The crew.The extras.I inhaled the fresh ocean spray, thinking hey, this is where people relax it's supposed to be vacation - God when was the last time I even had one of those? Breathe. In. Out. Easy. We only had three months of shooting. I could do anything with three months."I'm ready." Angelica's voice may as well be a warning alarm going off in my head. Bright red lights flashed in front of my line of vision and every single muscle in my body went taut.I hated the effect she still had on me.She'd gained weight back - no longer looking like a fresh cocaine addict - and her skin was bronzed just enough to give her the summer glow needed for the film. Add that to her captivating catlike eyes and her plump lips, and my body was already responding even when I hated

Chapter 93

WillIncognito.My mantra.My goal.My hell.I should be on set instead of hiding out at an abandoned coffee shop down the street.I should be making sure my actress wasn't setting the director on fire, just like I should be making sure that she was doing her job, the job she was getting paid for.Two years ago she'd been fired from three different films.Two years ago she was still doing drugs.Two years ago I was still in love with her.Two years ago she broke my heart for a second time without even realizing it and providence brought her to my agency, my doorstep.I was the freaking Luke Skywalker of her world.I'd dreamed of that moment. The moment she'd come crawling back and I'd sneer in her face, tell her to drop dead, then laugh while the door hit her in the ass on the way out of my office.But that was the thing about revenge. Nobody ever warns you about all the other feelings that attach themselves to that one word.Like regret.Like what ifs.Or the soul-su

Chapter 94

AngelicaYou know the dream people have when they're kids? You're naked in front of all of your classmates. They point and laugh while you try to cover up whatever parts you can with two hands all the while wondering why your feet are frozen in place. I mean, why don't you ever run in those dreams? Why do you just stand there? Logic would say to run, right?Instead, you stand, paralyzed with fear.And the worst part?It feels so real.Like it's really happening.Like something you won't ever recover from.I was experiencing one of those moments, only I wasn't dreaming - trust me I even pinched my arm to make sure.Because standing in front of Will's beach house wasn't just my brother, actor Lincoln Greene with his girlfriend, Dani - because that would be normal right? He was in town shooting, he was blood, end of story.I could live with that story.But no.It was my nemeses.My past coming back to my present.In the form of every single Hollywood heartthrob I'd either k

Chapter 95

WillI had a plan. A solid plan. Force her into an uncomfortable situation by way of barbecue and exhaust her so much after filming most of the morning that she'd go to sleep and ignore me, ignore the past, ignore all of it while I tried not to lose my mind.My plan didn't work.Because I forgot one tiny little thing about my friends, about the people I represented.They were extremely forgiving.And loyal.So if one of them wanted to give someone a chance again, they jumped on board, they were family even, though not all of them were blood.By the end of the night, I was the exhausted one, dreaming about my pillow while Angelica sat by the fire with a few of the girls and laughed.The first time I heard it, my body went completely still.The second time, I thought I was hallucinating.And the third time, well the third time, I had no choice but to look in her direction. My breath caught in my lungs because, that laugh. God, that laugh was one of my favorite sounds in the w

Chapter 96

AngelicaI blinked up at the white ceiling, willing the tears to dry. Praying they wouldn't slip free - because once they were loose there was no stopping the onslaught of emotion that would follow, the devastation, the earth-shattering realization that nothing would ever be the same between us. Not if he could help it - and not with me constantly pushing him.But at least pushing him got me a reaction that proved he wasn't a complete indifferent sociopath.I refused to let him get to me.With a sigh I turned onto my side and stared out the window imagining a different time a different place, where he was by my side - and promised to never leave.That and the way his hands ran down my skin like he was getting ready to worship me the way he used to.Only his face hadn't been filled with wonder - disgust was more like it.I clung to the anger like a blanket. It was the only way to sleep, the only way I was able to close my eyes and pray the sickness in my chest away.Anger forc

Chapter 97

WillI couldn't help it. I tried I even did that old trick where you look in the mirror and talk to yourself as if you're two separate people. Just. Play nice. I could be nice. I spoon fed celebrities on a daily basis. It was my job to kiss ass.I just didn't want to kiss hers.Because for some reason, being nice somehow felt like she'd won like she was getting in and the last thing I needed was to give her a foothold in any area of my life.So anger was all I had.Rudeness was what I clung to.And I hated myself for it because that wasn't me, I'd never been that guy, hell maybe she'd turned me into that guy. The one that literally didn't give a shit if she lived or died.No that wasn't true.I'd always cared.Too much.That was the problem.True to her word, Angelica had gotten ready in five minutes. She slid on her giant black sunglasses and looked ready to take on the world better than most girls who needed at least an hour to look presentable.Her good looks had alway

Chapter 98

AngelicaI finally understood what prison would be like.By way of my agent.After his pep talk where I imagined kissing him about a million times before he gave me a pat on my shoulder and helped me to my feet, he walked me back to set and watched each scene.When I was done and Lincoln asked if I wanted to go out with the rest of the cast for drinks, Will stepped in. "She can't."Did I call him a babysitter earlier?The man was like a parent.A prison guard.A hot one.One that oozed sexuality with a swagger that refused to go away every time he walked in any direction. Hell, the guy was going to be eighty years old and still turning heads when he walked into restaurants."I should have gone," I said once Lincoln walked off with Dani and Jay. "It's good for the cast to bond.""He's your brother. You've had your time." Will shrugged.I clenched my teeth and followed him to the parking lot, but instead of going to his shiny car, he walked right past it.Shit, he was goin

Chapter 99

AngelicaI stormed out of the restaurant, blindly walked down the boardwalk, and ignored Will's yells.Cameras flashing.Whispering.Pointing.I tripped on my flip flop again.And ran like hell.I ran until my legs burned.Until the threat of people taking pictures of me faded as my legs created distance between me and them.The minute my feet hit the sand, I grabbed my sandals and ran harder.The salty ocean air hit me in the face, mixing with the mist from the waves. Two years ago, my only goal had been to reinvent myself and ruin friends in the process. I was willing to do anything to be on top again.Two years ago, I wouldn't have just kissed Will I would have seduced him for the cameras.I would have taken body shots and laughed while he licked tequila and salt off my stomach.Now the idea of doing any of that for anyone other than myself, made me sick.My toes squished into the white sand.I was finally able to breathe. Finally able to think.I fell to my knees.

Chapter 100

WillI was lounging on the couch when my phone started vibrating against the coffee table like it was possessed. I was almost afraid to look and when I did, my irritation only grew.Demetri: You suck as a human being.I glanced at the screen and rolled my eyes.Zane: Did you really kiss her for the press? What insane mean-spirited Oregon tree-hugging lunatic possessed your body and took over? #getbehindmesatanAnother text popped up.Alec: Today my daughter was constipated, I showed her your picture, she shit all over it. Thanks man...Yeah, message received loud and clear, I was just about to chuck my phone against the wall when another message popped up.Jay: We actually put you in a group messenger now so that we can all join in your shame, I added the girls, you're welcome. So, gang, let's talk this through. What exactly did Will do wrong today?Alyssa: Raises handJay: Alyssa, yes you may have the group texting floor.Hell, I needed new friends. Ones t
