Fame By Accident Chapter 1 First Love

Chapter 1 First Love

Danica Waylon started feeling nostalgic as soon as she looked around the familiar surroundings after getting out of the airport.

Welcome home, Danica, she told herself and glanced at her eleven-year-old brother who was ecstatic to be back in California after being gone for three years.

Danica couldn't help but smile at his excitement. Seeing the suddenly confused expression on his face, she ruffled his dark brown hair and said, "Aziel, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. I know how to get to our old place."

Crossing his arms against his chest, Aziel frowned. "Why can't I remember where we lived before? It was only three years ago, so I shouldn't have forgotten our hometown."

Danica pursed her lips, not bothering to answer him immediately. She pulled the luggage along with her and headed towards the cab. Aziel ran ahead and blocked her way with his small frame.

"Why don't I remember, Dani?" he asked again with an undercurrent of disappointment in his voice.

She sighed and replied before opening the cab door, "Aziel, you were only eight at that time." Aziel pouted but got in the cab nonetheless, like the obedient kid he's always been. "Just focus on enjoying your summer here." Danica hopped in as well and rolled down the windows on her side, blocking the scorching afternoon sunlight.

"Dani, you haven't forgotten my birthday wish, right? You will help me fulfil my wish, won't you?" he asked with hopeful hazel eyes.

Glancing at him, Danica nodded her head. Aziel grinned in happiness and placed his head on her shoulder. She started to pat his head lightly as she started pondering how she would possibly be able to grant this one wish. The smile on her face dropped as soon as her brother closed his eyes, a cold and distant look took over her face instead.

Danica had decided to come back to California after three long years, just to try and help Aziel get his wish and she was absolutely clueless on how they could go about it. On top of that impossible situation, coming back to their hometown brought with it a lot of happy memories which are now painful. It was her decision to return, yes, but now what?

She sighed, something would come to her, it just had to.

"Hey, my Stones! How have you been doing? Welcome back to Troy's Reels. If you are new to my channel, let me tell you why I call y'all Stones. It's because you guys are my rock. Without your support, I am nothing. So you guys mean the world to me," Troy Kingston said, facing the camera kept on his table, recording his new WhyNTube video. WhyNTube was a hot, up and coming social platform where people could upload different videos and gain popularity. "Today I had planned on doing a vlog and it will start with-"

"Troy, I am going to ChocoVivo Café. Want to tag along?" Hernan called out after barging into his bedroom without knocking-as usual.

"Wherever there's free food, you will find Troy Kingston with his camera. So is the food free?" Troy asked. He turned off his camera and looked at Hernan Matias, who was one of his best friends and a WhyNTuber just like him. The eccentric name of the café was enough for him to decline the offer, but that wasn't the real reason he did not want to visit that place-it would remind him of someone he did not want to remember.

Hernan narrowed his eyes at Troy and let out, "No, but it will be helpful for your vlog. At least your fans won't think you are a social shut-in who rarely goes out and keeps making the same old vlogs which include nothing but your exercise regime and what kind of takeout you prefer." Troy snickered at the last sentence. He lost his interest from the moment he heard there wouldn't be any free food. "And who knows? If you are lucky, you might just bump into one of your crazy fans whom you can include in the vlog," Hernan suggested.

Twitching his lips, Troy thought for a while before giving in, "Fine, give me two minutes. I'll change into something better."

Hernan chuckled, looking at his current outfit, which almost made Troy look like he just got out of bed. "I'll be waiting in the parking lot then," Hernan announced and made his way out of the Rose mansion-a mansion where an exclusive group of young celebrities lived, who just so happened to be close friends since their middle school years.

"Stop," Danica let out when her eyes fell on a certain café. The cab driver hit the brakes at that instant moment and peered at the brown wavy-haired girl through the mirror. "I need to grab a cup of hot chocolate from here, if you wouldn't mind stopping for a minute."

The driver smiled and glanced at the coffee shop, which was famous for its special hot chocolate. Aziel was sleeping peacefully in the car, so the driver, who looked like he was in his mid-forties, assured, noticing Danic was skeptical about leaving Aziel alone in the car, "Get your cocoa. The kid is safe here."

Pushing a few locks of her brown hair behind her ear, Danica got out of the cab. She straightened the light wrinkles that formed on her white top and dusted her mid-thigh length denim skirt before walking inside her favorite coffee shop. She stood in the long line, patiently waiting for her turn to come.

While she was looking around, her heartbeat thrummed all of a sudden. Danica huffed and wished for the line to move faster. She knew that when her heartbeat sped up, it was because something was about to happen-good or bad, it didn't matter. Given the kind of life she was leading, she didn't expect anything good to happen to her anymore. Even smiling wholeheartedly was hard for her nowadays.

Was it a good decision to get out of the cab just for a cup of hot chocolate? She had no idea, but at least she could keep the cab in her sights while she was waiting.

Fortunately, the line began moving faster, and before she knew it; she was standing in front of the barista.

"One ho-"

"Oh my god!" the thirty-year-old woman who was taking the orders squealed. She couldn't believe her eyes; it was like seeing a ghost in front of her eyes. "Is it really you, Danica?" She touched Danica's cold hand and gasped. "Oh my god. Wait, let me bring your favorite hot chocolate."

"Hi, Stacy." Danica tried to paste a polite smile on her face, trying to hide her nervousness. She didn't expect to see one of her old neighbors working at this place. "And yeah, it's really me."

Flashing her dimples, Stacy handed her the drink. "How long will you be staying? Are you back for good or-"

"Are you done yet?" questioned an irritated customer. "Hurry up, please."

"Come over to my place tonight. I'll answer all your questions there," Danica offered and grabbed her drink before moving out of the line in a hurry.

Just as Danica was about to pull the door to leave the shop, she froze when she heard a familiar voice, "Guess who's at ChocoVivo Café with his best friend today?" Danica reluctantly turned around and looked at the handsome man, wearing a light brown shirt over his white tee with blue jeans. His blue eyes suddenly shifted from the camera to the woman's face who was looking straight at him. Just like her, his heart also skipped a beat. The only word that managed to slip through his mouth was her name. "Danica?"

Her breath hitched. She tumbled a step at the unexpected encounter with the guy she had a massive crush on back in school. She couldn't believe how her heart still jumped at the first sight of him. She thought she was over him-her crush on him was years ago. But little did she know that seeing him in front of her would awaken that warm, fuzzy feeling in her chest all over again. She was all too aware that Troy Kingston had become a famous WhyNTuber. In fact, she made sure she took time out of her busy schedule to watch his daily videos every night, not that she was obsessed or anything.

"Troy," she managed to mumble, expecting a warm greeting from him. After all, Troy had always been friendly, the life of the party type of person. She probably wouldn't even mind if he pulled her in a tight bear hug like old times. What she didn't expect was for him to walk right past her, making his way out of the shop without another word. He didn't even spare her a second glance.

Danica stood there shocked at what just happened. She had bumped into her former best friend, and he just ignored her, like she was just another girl on the street. Her instincts told her to run after him, but she didn't have that courage anymore. She didn't know what to say to him. Was he still angry because she had left three years ago without saying a word?

"Hazel, is it really you? I can't believe it. No long no see." Danica got startled at Hernan's shout, he was still as charming as ever. He has always called her 'Hazel' ever since middle school because of her hazel eyes.

"Yeah, same. How's life?" Danica asked awkwardly.

"Great. What about you?" he questioned back. He was really glad to see one of his best friends after such a long time.

"Fine," she lied, then bit her lip.

"Are you back in town now?"

"Yes." She averted her gaze. She was in no state to talk to him at that moment. She just wanted to escape-like she had been doing for the past three years. "Aziel is alone in the cab, so I really have to go right now. See you later, Hernan," she said before rushing out of the coffee shop.

Just as she was getting in the cab outside the shop, her hazel eyes briefly met the intense blue eyes she encountered just a few minutes ago. Troy was standing right near the café entrance with an inscrutable look on his face.

Even though she had known Troy for years, she couldn't decipher the strange look in his eyes. Without another thought, she closed the door and said to the cab driver, "Start the car."

Troy watched the cab leaving. He wanted to stop Danica, but he couldn't speak up, it was as if his voice went missing. But given his confusing feelings, maybe it was better to let her leave. Right now, he was overwhelmed with unsure emotions.

Undoubtedly, he was happy to see Danica. He also wanted to ask various questions. Troy didn't let anyone know, but he was very hurt when Danica left without saying a single word before. Then again, he couldn't think of anything else but wanting to know how she had been doing for the three years. Has she been well? She seemed to have lost weight since the last time he saw her.

"What are you thinking, bro?" Hernan asked after placing a hand on his shoulder.

Troy almost jumped out of his skin at the sudden contact, "You scared me!"

"Well, that was the intention," Hernan replied. "Guess who I met today?"

"Danica?"

"Have you seen her?" Hernan was surprised that Troy wasn't already leaping in joy. Troy simply nodded. "Anyways, what do you want to order?" Hernan asked absentmindedly as he was texting Trevor Bennett, their other best friend, and a model, about the arrival of Danica in town.

"Hot chocolate," Troy replied with a small smile on his lips.

Hernan stopped typing on his phone at his unexpected reply and placed his hand over Troy's forehead to check whether he was burning up or not. "You don't have a fever. Are you sure you want hot chocolate? That was Danica's favori-wait," he paused. "What did I miss while flirting with that handsome dude over there? How come I didn't see you two talking?"

Troy didn't bother to reply and just looked in the direction Danica left, a brief smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Of course, he had every one of her favorites noted down in his head. After all, Danica Waylon was and always would be his first love.

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."
