Hollywood promised me a future. Sunset Boulevard gave me a nightmare. When nineteen-year-old Lila Porter accepts a job as a maid in the crumbling mansion of silent film legend Norma Desmond, she doesn't expect to fall in love - least of all with the mysterious screenwriter Joe Gillis. But behind the glamour lies obsession. Secrets cling to the velvet curtains, and dreams rot beneath the glitz. As Norma spirals into delusion and Joe tries to escape the grip of her fading fame, Lila is pulled into a deadly world where love, ambition, and madness collide. She thought she was just a witness. She never expected to become part of the tragedy. Now, years later, Lila is telling her story - the love, the lies, and the night that changed Hollywood forever. The spotlight fades. The truth remains.

How that tower conquered my attention and stopped my heart.

I'm Payton Chadwick. Well yeah... My brothers Drew. I've known the boys my whole life and I've been through everything with them. And we've all been "just" best friends until now... I guess I've been caught in a love triangle.

It's the most wonderful time of the year again, anda few of the Lord's "children" decided to come together to celebrate this holy season. Surely everything will go well- no, I'm not being sarcastic at all. Join Christine, Evita, Joseph, Ms Desmond and a few of their friend accompanied by a couple of crazy furballs to enjoy this festive holiday, and better hope that the Lord won't arrive. But please, read the Author's note before you do that, cuz I refuse to argue with you if you find something you don't like. I don't own any of the characters in the story, the events are made up and it is purely for entertainment, not meant to offend anyone.
