The Starlet and the Retriever

Vivienne Vale had done everything right—three months of grueling auditions, and finally, the lead role in Glass Crown was one signature away. Then Lola Hart, a hungry young starlet, posted a picture of Asher Sterling's golden retriever, Biscuit, with a caption that screamed intimacy: "Mommy's right here." In hours, the media crowned Lola as Asher's secret lover. But no one knows the truth: Biscuit belongs to Vivienne's husband, and Lola is playing with fire she doesn't understand. Vivienne isn't just fighting for a role anymore—she's fighting for her marriage, her reputation, and a truth the tabloids will never see coming.
