From Background Character to Leading Lady

My life as Marcus Thorne's personal assistant was a tightrope walk, fueled by debt and a desperate need for invisibility.

He was Hollywood's most feared mogul, and I was just the anonymous competence making his world run.

Then Tiffany arrived, a caricature of a woman whose perfume assaulted the senses, declaring herself Marcus's "leading lady" and dismissing me as mere "help."

Her delusion quickly escalated from annoying pronouncements to outright malice.

She openly resented a simple silver pendant Marcus had given me, dismissing it as "charity."
