The Star I Extinguished

Summary

I sponsored Caleb Vance for ten years. From a trailer park nobody to Hollywood’s A-list heartthrob.

Tonight was his big night—Best Actor at the Golden Screen Awards. I sat in the shadows of the mezzanine, genuinely happy for him.

The host asked about his journey to fame, prompting him to thank someone special.

Caleb gripped the golden trophy, his gaze sweeping the audience with laser precision until it landed on me.

The spotlight hit me instantly. I blinked, blinded and flustered.

But Caleb looked into the camera, his handsome face twisted in disgust.
