Chapter 13: The Tessa Scott Gambit.
Rebecca came downstairs with another suitcase. Her face looked pale, and her faded makeup gave it away that she had been crying."Change of plans. You know Tessa Scott, right?""Yes. We were very close, you know, before her husband's cheating scandal and all.""Excellent. You will arrange a meeting between her and Frank."Rebecca frowned."Sir, Tessa has been in hiding for months. She wouldn't want to be anywhere close to anyone from the industry after what happened.""She will if you ask nicely. Tell her that my son can restore her music career. He has connections that can clear any name and make her famous again."Frank got up from the couch, not liking where this was going."I don't need a blind date. I'm not a child."Nathan looked back at his son."No, no, no. This isn't about romance; you are going to recruit her for the label. Tessa Scott has millions of fans who believe she was treated unfairly. If we sign her to the new label, it shows that we protect our artists better than

Frank got up from his seat, knowing what his father was doing."Leave her alone, Dad.""You sit down and shut up, Frank."Nathan said without taking his eyes off the lady."Now here is what you're going to do, young lady. Tonight, you are going to disappear from my son's life, and it will be for good. If I see you anywhere close to him again, I will tell your husband everything."Rebecca frowned."You're bluffing.""Don't test me, young lady. We both know what happened to those who double-crossed him, even the closest members of his family weren't free; not even his own mother. So don't think you are going to be the exception just because you are his wife."Rebecca took a deep breath, nodding as she replied."I understand."Nathan nodded back as he slowly leaned away."Very good. Now pack faster, we don't have all night."The young lady ran upstairs as Nathan turned back to face his son. Frank glared back at him with nothing but hatred in his eyes, but Nathan walked over to the other

Frank took a deep breath, staring at the business card like it was poison he couldn't resist."What's the catch?"Nathan leaned back into the couch, joining him to stare at the wide 4K TV on the wall."No catch, just don't dump another scandal on my doorstep. No more affairs with the wives of powerful men, no more public meltdowns, and no more wild parties on social media."Nathan said, but this time, his voice quickly turned quiet and deadly."If you embarrass me or my company again, I will release everything. I will tell the world about every crime you committed, every enemy you made, and every dark secret that still keeps you alive in this city."Now Frank wasn't buying it anymore."You keep giving threats, but we both know that you can't destroy your own son.""Try me."Nathan said, getting up and standing in front of him."The Neo-Mafia wants your head for ruining their biggest arms deal. On the other hand, Senator Morrison still secretly has that fifty thousand dollar bounty on

When Calvin hung up, he was sitting in his friend Martin's living room, staring at his laptop screen. A countdown timer showed two minutes until he went live on MeTube, and even though he had only announced it an hour ago, over 5,000 people were already waiting in the chat room with the numbers still climbing.Hearing Calvin throughout the call, Martin put down his phone and shook his head."With the way you keep secrets from your wife, I'm surprised she hasn't divorced you yet."Calvin seemed to be more focused on the live feed, refusing to look away from the screen before adjusting the camera angles and lighting. The live video had to be perfect, but he heard what Martin said."That's exactly why I'm doing this; that's why I'm willing to destroy Nathan Harrington. Abigail trusts me to protect her and everything we've built together, and I won't disappoint her."Martin nodded slowly."Yeah, love sure makes us do crazy things. But this is way out of your league, Calvin. What you are a

"You are just like all the other vultures," he said with obvious bitterness."You see someone like me and think you've found easy money. I spent 18 months in jail because of people like you. I suffered there because I trusted the wrong suit with the wrong contract. I was lured in by someone like you and lost everything because of it, yet somehow that isn't enough for all of you?"Even though Abigail's heart was pounding, she stayed perfectly still."Freya Music Group wants to give you complete creative control. We will only step in when you ask us to. We don't interfere with your work or make demands on how to make your music."Jason laughed again, this time hollow and broken."Of course, and after I sign your stupid contract, your crafty lawyers will find some tiny clause in the documents that signs away my soul. You are beautiful, I'll give you that, but you're a terrible liar."Abigail stood and placed her business card on the table next to the nearest overflowing ashtray. Jason's
Chapter 7: The Broken Star.
About an hour later, Abigail was sitting in her car outside Jason McCallister's home. How her husband knew he lived here was beyond her, and she tried her best to calm down.The neighborhood looked tired and forgotten, with rows of small houses featuring dead lawns and broken streetlights. It was hard to believe that a young music icon who sold out stadiums just a few years ago was now living here.This was crazy, but she trusted Calvin. She looked at the rearview mirror to make sure her hair was perfect.Taking a deep breath, she walked to the front door. The porch light was broken and she had to stand alone in the dark for a while, tracing her hands on the outside wall to find the doorbell.She pressed it once and there was no response, then she pressed it over and over until she saw a curtain move upstairs. Someone had noticed her, and she stood still, trying her best to look harmless.Given the circumstances, she wouldn't be surprised if he was too scared to answer. This was like
