The setup
The crew gasped, and the room buzzed with whispers. But Martin wasn’t finished. His piercing gaze swung to Lila. “And you,” he said sharply, “you and Adam are close. Tell me—are you aware of this? Did you two plan this to humiliate Zoey? Don’t you dare lie to me, or I’ll have you kicked out as well.”But to everyone's shock, Lila straightened, her face pale. “I had nothing to do with this,” she said quickly. “And if Adam did it, I wasn’t part of it. I swear.” She paused as she turned her gaze toward Adam, her lip curling with disgust. “Honestly, Adam… I should’ve known. You’re nothing but a pervert.”Adam froze, his body stiffening at the venomous words from Lila’s lips. Xavier’s brow furrowed, his arms crossed as he took a step forward. “Lila, how could you say that? He's your boyfriend.”“He’s not my boyfriend,” Lila snapped, her tone sharp. She lifted her chin, distancing herself from Adam completely. “We only knew each other on this show. What we had was nothing but for the cam
Missing underwears
The following morning, Zoey was determined more than ever to reclaim the spotlight. Adam had stolen too many scenes, too many headlines. With the show nearing its final stretch, she couldn’t afford to let her fanbase slip away. Today, she told herself, the cameras would be on me.She sat at her vanity, going over her outfit for the day when she suddenly froze. Her drawer was empty. She blinked, opened another. Empty. A cold dread slithered down her spine. She dropped to her knees, pulling out the entire drawer to peer into the cavity of the dresser. Still nothing.Her underwear was gone. Every single piece.A strangled scream ripped through the quiet mansion from her mouth.Within seconds, the door burst open. Xavier rushed in, followed by Jasper, Lila, and Adam."Zoey? What's wrong? What happened?" Xavier asked, his eyes scanning the room for immediate danger.Zoey stood in the center of the room, her face pale, one arm wrapped around her waist, the other pointing a trembling fi
Cleopatra Monroe's backstory
The night air was cool against Cleopatra’s skin as she watched Adam and Lila disappear into the show’s mansion. A small, satisfied smile played on her lips. The restaurant footage was pure gold. Xavier’s defection was the twist the season needed, and her client was squarely at the center of it.The night had gone well—better than she anticipated. The buzz online was electric, and Adam’s name was already trending worldwide.As she turned toward her own car, two figures approached. Lila’s manager, a sharp-dressed woman with a tablet perpetually in hand, and Xavier’s agent, a jovial man with a booming laugh.“Cleopatra,” Lila's manager said, offering a genuine smile. “Just wanted to say thank you. My client ratings are souring like crazy.”Xavier’s agent nodded vigorously. “Seriously. And your client… he’s quite the sensation. He’s going to change the whole dynamic of this season. We appreciate your vision.”Cleopatra’s smile widened, a flash of genuine pride in her eyes. “I’m only doi
The Wexlers
The silence at the table was deafening. Jasper tried his best to keep the atmosphere light as dinner was served. He leaned in, smiling at Zoey as he spoke about himself—his family’s achievements, his father’s business empire, his own little victories in school. He even tried to praise Zoey, complimenting her beauty, her elegance, and her family’s good name, hoping to draw her closer.But Zoey barely listened. Her fork scraped lightly against her plate as she pushed food around without tasting it. Her mind wasn’t here at this table, and certainly not with Jasper. It was with Adam.It hurt that Jasper was a total bore, but what hurt her even more was knowing that Adam was out there having a fantastic time with the other housemates. There were only three camera crew members here, silently filming her dull, awkward dinner with Jasper. She could feel it in her gut, that the main action was elsewhere. The A-team camera crew was with Adam. He was the star of the show now, the center of
Xavier
Zoey stormed a step forward, her eyes blazing with fury. She jabbed a manicured finger toward the Bugatti, her voice shrill enough to make even the camera crew wince.“Where the hell did you get that car from?” Adam met her glare with a calm shrug. “Why is that important? I didn’t question any of you about where your cars came from.”Xavier leaned in, his eyes wide with awe. “Dude, did your management hook you up with that car? That is so cool! That thing must’ve cost the earth!”Zoey whipped her head toward Xavier, her glare poisonous. “Xavier, shut up.”Xavier flinched and draw back as if he was slapped in the face. She turned her full fury back on Adam, her voice rising with rage. “I’m asking you one last time. Where did you get it? A nobody like you shouldn’t be able to drive something that expensive.”The air turned electric. Everyone waited for Adam to respond, but before he could, Lila broke forwardShe poked a finger squarely into the sequined fabric covering Zoey’s chest.
The Bugatti
Cleopatra Monroe stood in the lobby of the Jade Castle hotel as she snapped orders to her assistants."I want cameras focused on Adam and Lila at all time when they arrive in the hotel. Get a mic closer to their table. I don't care how, just do it discreetly." Suddenly, a voice cut through the air like a whip.“CLEOPATRA!”Everyone froze. Martin shouldered his way through her assistants, his face flushed.She didn't turn immediately. Instead, she finished her instruction before slowly pivoting to face him. "Martin. You're disrupting my flow. What's the problem?""What’s the meaning of this?!" he hissed, jabbing a finger toward a monitor showing the live feed of the Bugatti. "The La Voiture Noire? What in God's name were you thinking? I thought we agreed the kid was a nobody! A diamond-in-the-rough!"Cleopatra’s lips curved into a faint smile.. "Well, he is a nobody I intend to turn into a star. That requires a certain... narrative."Martin ran a hand over his balding head, frustrati
