I was sitting in Capitol Grille having lunch when I received a message that I had been getting followed by a private investigator. I was sick of this shit. I had paid so many people to keep my life private and out of the blogs, but it seemed like muthafuckas didn’t know how to do their job. The bitch that rattled my feathers was that fat bitch, Tatum Reece. The fact that she had been on my ass for years and she still had a job was crazy to me when I thought I had Media Frenzy in my back pocket. Helen Ross and I went way back and I made sure she always had money in her pocket. She just had to do what I said and things would always work out for her. Which is why I was waiting for her to show up so we could discuss this once again. The smell of White Diamonds and cigarettes invaded my nostrils as Helen walked over to the table.

“Helen,” I spoke.

“Carol, what could I do for you this afternoon?” She said while sitting across from me. I made sure we were in the back of the restaurant where no one could see us.

“Let’s cut the small talk. Why does Tatum Reece still have a fucking job Helen?” I snapped.

“Carol, I have nothing on her to fire her. I told you before that you need proof she’s the one behind all of this. You have so many people that have it out for you. What makes you know for sure it’s her.” Helen said pissing me the fuck off.

“Because she’s the only person that has the balls to come up against me. The only reporter that gambles with her own life. She just don’t give a fuck which is how I know it’s her. So, I’ma tell you this one time and one time only, you need to get rid of her or you will come down with me. I don’t care what you do or how you do it find something on that fat ass bitch.”

“I’ll try my best but you know it will take time. How do you know it’s not Porsha Pain doing this?” She asked saying a name I hadn’t heard in a minute. I didn’t think Porsha was behind this because we had an understanding years ago and she forever kept her mouth shut.

“What made you say her name of all names?”

“Cut the shit Carol, it has been shit said about you two for years. Porsha just stays quiet. Hell, she could be tired of being quiet, or how about that fine ass son of hers?” Helen asked, talking about Poetic Pain, one of the child stars I mentored and watched grow. The way she sounded saying his name instantly made my pussy wet. I knew I shouldn’t have been thinking about him but I always did. I missed him like crazy but I knew I had to pull away when he was sixteen because shit was getting hot for me.

“Don’t mention Poetic ever again, he is living his best life and not paying me any mind.” I snapped irritated at Helen’s dumb ass.

“Helen you heard what the fuck I said, and you know how hard I’m coming. What will Steve and your kids think when all of this comes out?”

“Carol don’t threatened me. I had nothing to do with whatever ya sick ass had going on. So, don’t think I’m scared because I’m not.” Helen sassed, causing my blood to boil.

I knew where this was going and the minute, she was headed out of the restaurant, the quicker a hit would be ordered on her ass. Once she was out of the way I knew Josh would be next in line for her job. I would just have to smoove things out with him and I was sure money would be the answer. I just had to make sure I played my cards right with him, because I knew how much he loved Tatum since she was his top earner.

“Helen you can leave, and I wish we could have worked this out better than this.” I said with so much venom in my voice. I knew she was scared from the way she jumped up and headed out of the door. I swear these folks were going to learn not to play with me.

I sat there in deep thought trying to figure this all out. I had gotten off with so much shit over the years I was going to make sure I continued to get away with it. Everything in my past would be buried with me if I could help it. I picked my phone up and pulled up an escort service and looked for a sweet young tender roni that could take my mind off of the bullshit for the night. Once I set everything up, I ordered a lamb chop meal and a steak meal since I was going to clear my house of all the help so me and my date could be alone.

While I was waiting for my food I made sure to set up a meeting with Josh for the end of the week since I knew Helen would be gone by then. I also needed to set up a date with Porsha to make sure she and her son remained quiet. I paid Porsha more than enough money over the years to keep her fucking mouth shut. I wish she would fuck me over like that. Poetic I know for sure ain’t gone say shit he living his best life right now and the last thing he needed was for some shit to get out that rocked his world. I knew I did some shit I wasn’t supposed to over the years, but the boys loved it and their parents loved the money.

I know one thing for sure if it ever came down to me going down, I’m bringing every last person that helped me over the years down with me and I meant that shit. This would be the biggest scandal ever which is why I just needed to take this shit to my grave. I sat in deep thought til a waitress came over I then put my order in to go and waited until it was ready. Then I contacted my date to let him know where to meet me at. I had to be discreet especially since I knew someone was on my ass.
