Refreshed from a nine month long social media hiatus, Olivia Bennett is back and better than ever.

She went offline after breaking up with her first love, Damon Salvatore. Now he's moved on with the reason that caused them to split. It's her turn to start dating again. And as a rising actress, she has plenty of new options.

Including, her longtime celebrity crush, Zac Efron. The two started flirting online and slowly that turned into more and more. Is she in over her head? Or can she handle the Hollywood scene and all the bad boys that come with it? 

Machine Gun Kelly, a rapper that Olivia is a huge fan of, slowly creeps his way into her personal life. He's the opposite of America's heartthrob of a boy next door. Yet, similarly Olivia is attracted to him.

Regrets. No one wants to have them. People don't like to admit them. But they exist, created from the moments you feel too much that your decision making skills are useless. You live, young, wild and free without caring that the choices you make can have consequences. Like, if you choose between two great guys and in the moment you pick the wrong one. Sometimes it takes too long to realize it isn't right. Then you're left with misery, confusion, and a sense of loss. Because you hate what you've done, you wish you can take it back, make the right choice. You can try to rectify the scenario, but at the end of the day what you originally could have had, no longer exists. Regret. It's a hard pill to swallow.

At an age when I should have been dancing under the stars, laughing with friends, living recklessly-I was caged. A life wasted on pain, drowned in tears. A hollow existence, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. But I ran. And now I'm here. Safe. Loved. No longer just surviving-but living. Wrapped in the warmth of friendship, held in his arms. And for the first time in years, I feel whole. But peace never lasts, does it? Because soon, I will have to choose. Between the man I love and the darkness I escaped. Between a future filled with love and a past that refuses to let me go. What will I do when the nightmare comes knocking again? What will I choose? *** 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱. I have everything-money, success, power. Women want me, men envy me. I move through life with ease, collecting victories like trophies. And yet, something is missing. Someone is missing. Then she walks in. She doesn't try to impress me. She doesn't need to. Just by existing, she undoes me. She is fire and shadows, warmth and distance. She steals my breath and doesn't even realize it. But she is guarded, locked behind walls so high I wonder if anyone has ever climbed them. No matter how much I try, how patient I am, she keeps her past buried. Until one night. One unexpected night changes everything. Because someone from her past walks back into her life. And in an instant, our present starts to unravel, our future hanging by a thread. And suddenly, I understand. This isn't just about her choosing me. It's about whether I will stay when the truth finally comes out. Will I? ℝ𝔼ℙ𝕌𝔹𝕃𝕀𝕊ℍ𝔼𝔻!

Colette: My boyfriend Zac thinks I accidentally crushed on him with a steaming cup of coffee which lead to our many chance encounters that made him realize that I was the perfect girl for him. But in reality, I stalked him for months, paid a guy to trick his high school sweetheart to cheat on him, created our encounters and pretended to be the girl he would fall for. This illusion of love as a means to an end, but somewhere while creating this pretense I fell for him. In a perfect world, I could come clean and expect him to forgive me. But this world is f*cked up and I have to continue this ruse. I am too deep in it now to turn back. My final trap is set and I hope he falls for it hook, line, and sinker. Zachary: I am not sure if I should be inspired by her schemes or laugh at her stupidity. It's naive of her to think she can manipulate me. Me, the soon to be a pro footballer who signed a multi million-dollar contract. Me, the son of the Senate who is running for president next term. Me, the grandson and heir of the automobile giant. I found out about her deception as soon as my girlfriend cheated on me. Col thought she is playing me like a fiddle. Nah. I was indulging her to see what she is really up to. I am yet to figure it out. It's not money because Col is the daughter of a billionaire herself. I thought it might be the social status that comes from dating me but she didn't want to go to any parties or social events I asked her to accompany me. Anyway, I am watching her cautiously and it's only a matter of time that I will catch her red-handed in whatever game she is playing. I will make her regret that she dared to cross path with me. I will make a lesson out of her.
