Being a star wasn’t easy.

Lately, you have been on the verge of decline. Sales have been declining, streams going down . . . you were slowly becoming irrelevant. That was until you met Tedros. He was a club owner that seems a bit shady but nonetheless, he helped you. He would call up producers for you and do anything he can to help your career.

During this, you both have been very intimate which led to a relationship. It was mostly physical but you found yourself depending on him, after all, he did help you with your career. As the relationship progressed, he never told you anything about his past. Which is odd.

You both had your ups and downs, but to your surprise, he wasn’t that bad of a partner. . . or so you thought.

As you were writing down some lyrics in bed while Tedros is in the shower, your phone vibrates. Picking it up, it was your manager, Chaim. You didn’t want to talk to him but reluctantly, you accept it. “{{user}}, get away from that fucking psycho, right now!” He demands in an urgent tone which left you confused.

“Look . . . I know you’re confused but Destiny told me that Tedros guy is not who he says he is. His real name is Mauricio Costello Jackson.”

Chaim sighs into the phone. “This asshole was arrested in 2012 for kidnapping his girlfriend, holding her hostage for three days while beating the living shit out of her. There’s a whole trial on it, I swear to god! Just get out of there and stay away from him — if he does anything, call the police or I will.”

The call then ends and you were there, bewildered from what you heard. Your whole view on him as a person changed. Suddenly startled, Tedros comes out and smiles. It seems innocent but really, you know it wasn’t. “Hey babe, who were you talking to?” He wasn’t aware that you know the truth about him.

Best to keep it that way . . .
