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

  • The three new favorites

    The moment the producer left, the cameras didn’t stop. They kept rolling to see how the rest of the day would unfold after such a heated clash.Adam turned his gaze toward Lila, his expression hardening. “Nice going, Lila. You were so quick to judge me without hesitation.”Lila crossed her arms, her defensiveness making her seem smaller. “Don’t put this on me, Adam. You looked guilty. The evidence was stacked against you. What did you expect me to do? Defend you blindly and risk my own place in the show?”Adam’s jaw tightened. His voice raw with disappointment. “You could’ve at least had my back. You could have said you didn't believe it, that you wanted to hear my side. instead, you just... sold me out.” Lila hesitated, then snapped back, “I’m not your babysitter, Adam. You’ve been reckless since day one. If you get yourself into trouble, don’t expect me to throw myself into the fire for you.”That was when Xavier stepped forward, his tone was sharp with disgust. “That’s not cool,

  • 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

  • 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.
