Chapter 39
Chapter 39 takes us back to Evelyn’s thirty-sixth birthday in 1974, a moment of opulence and indulgence with her closest friends, including Harry, Celia, and John. The group dines at the Palace, a restaurant that was known for being one of the most expensive places to eat at the time. Evelyn reflects on how, back then, she would throw money around without a second thought. She was surrounded by luxury, from the caviar to the private planes, to the grand staff that could have filled a baseball team.…-

Chapter 38
Chapter 38 delves deeper into Evelyn’s emotional landscape as she reflects on the complexities of her relationships, particularly with Celia, and the insecurities that arise with the passage of time. As Evelyn recalls the tension-filled moments with Celia, she admits that she never directly confronted her partner about the hurtful words. Instead, her response was often to retreat, to avoid conflict, and to use her beauty as a way to diffuse the situation. She knew the power her physical appearance…-

Chapter 36
Chapter 36 unfolded on one of the most star-studded nights of Evelyn's career—at the Oscars, a place where all her hard work, her sacrifice, and her brilliance were supposed to be crowned with the golden statue that had eluded her for so long. Yet, despite her stunning black beaded dress and the anticipation of recognition, Evelyn's journey that night was more about a return to the past than stepping into the future. Her attire, though captivating, reflected the intricate nature of her career and life, a…-

Chapter 35
Chapter 35 stretched on into the early hours, and I could hardly break free from the captivating grip of Evelyn's story. As I listened to her talk—her voice weaving through moments of triumph, regret, and raw honesty—I found myself less concerned about my own life. In fact, I relished the distraction; being wrapped up in the intensity of her past and the complications she carried meant that I didn't have to confront the dull reality of my own. Her words became a temporary refuge, a safe place from the…-

Chapter 34
Chapter 34 of my life began with a decision that could redefine how the world perceived me. I chose a daring dress, one that flirted with the boundaries of modesty, to make an unmistakable statement. Alongside Harry, I drove up Hillcrest Road, our destination unknown but the intention clear. My makeup was understated, just nude lipstick—striking enough to leave an impression, yet subdued enough not to steal the scene. This wasn’t about perfection; it was about capturing a moment that felt real,…-

Chapter 33
Chapter 33 was a turning point, one that unfolded with a precision only possible in Hollywood. For over two years, Rex and I maintained the illusion of marriage, living in a lavish home in the hills, starring in films together, and playing the roles our careers demanded. Our lives were structured like a well-rehearsed performance—separate morning routines, shared car rides to the set, and carefully choreographed public appearances. The cameras flashed as we held hands upon arrival, playing the part of…-

Chapter 32
Chapter 32 The night of the academy awards, Rex and I sat next to each other, holding hands, allowing everyone a glimpse of the romantic marriage we were peddling around town. We both smiled politely when we lost, clapping for the winners. I was disappointed but not surprised. It seemed a little too good to be true, the idea of Oscars for people like Rex and me, beautiful movie stars trying to prove they had substance. I got the distinct impression that a lot of people wanted us to stay in our lane. So we…-

Chapter 31
Chapter 31 There is a certain freedom in marrying a man when you aren’t hiding anything. Celia was gone. I wasn’t really at a place in my life where I could fall in love with anyone, and Rex wasn’t the type of man who seemed capable of falling in love at all. Maybe, if we’d met at different times in our lives, we might have hit it off. But with things as they were, Rex and I had a relationship built entirely on box office.It was tacky and fake and manipulative.But it was the beginning of my…-

Chapter 30
Chapter 30 “You and Celia didn't have any contact at all?” I ask. Evelyn shakes her head. She stands up and walks over to the window and opens it a crack. The breeze that streams in is welcome. When she sits back down, she looks at me, ready to move on to something else. But I’m too baffled. “How long were the two of you together by that point?” “Three years?” Evelyn says. “Just about.” “And she just left? Without another word?” Evelyn nods. “Did you try to call her?” She…-
