LENNOX
"Her bodyguard skills are on point," Perry remarks, trading his beanie for a headband adorned with demon horns.
Maddy glances over her shoulder to ensure Perth isn't watching. Little does she know, he notices every move she makes. She attempts to discreetly head towards the cash register.
I can barely contain my laughter.
Perth directed the bouncy ball towards me, drawing my attention. "She's not the only one who does that," he remarked.
I stepped away from the table and let out a genuine laugh. "I love it when our clients think we're completely clueless about what's going on."

ASHTONAs we make our way to our next tour stop in Chicago, the unsettling news headline continues to haunt me. It announces the cancellation of Cleveland FanCon due to a power outage at the hotel. The technicians were unable to fix the issue for at least 24 hours, forcing security to call off the event prematurely. The disappointment weighs heavily on me, feeling like a stab in the chest.The cancellation means that the promised Q&A session won't happen, and the majority of our fans never had the chance to meet us. Some of them even spent a significant amount of money to travel to Cleveland, only to be let down.I did my best to find a solution to salvage the situation. I made phone calls, discussed options with the crew, and suggested moving the event to another

LENNOXI knew I had to step back and let him pass, but before he could go, I reached out and grabbed his wrist, whispering in his ear, "You're not alone, Ashton."He took a deep breath, his expression almost breaking through the barriers he had erected. However, he responded, "I have to take this call." I watched as he strode down the hallway with purpose and disappeared into the second lounge, closing the door behind him.Davin guided me to the aisle of bunks, speaking in a hushed voice. "You don't want to get involved in that," he warned. "They've been at odds for years."Running both hands through my hair, I replied softly, "I can't just stand by and watch Sandro tear him apar

ASHTONThe small hotel bar was dimly lit, with a sign illuminating "Chicago" in bold letters. A variety of liquor bottles lined the counter, but there was no bartender in sight. The walls were adorned with Chicago Cubs posters in blue and red, and apart from one table, all the high-top tables were empty.As we entered, the five bodyguards sitting at the table instantly noticed us, and their conversation seemed to quiet down. I could sense that Kaleb, Perth, Davin, Seth, and Perry's attention was on me, not Lennox.Damn.It felt like I had some kind of superpower that rendered me incapable of speaking."Hey," I sa

ASHTONPerth interrupted, drumming his fingers on his whiskey glass. "Hey, everyone. Ashton should be able to skip any dares or truths that he wants—""No," I interjected, not wanting to appear too controlling or rigid. I couldn't be passive in this situation. "I can play the game just like you guys."Perth shifted on his stool, surprised by my response. "Are you sure? You can skip anything I wrote down. You should, really. I didn't think you'd be here."Davin playfully wrapped his arm around Perth's shoulders. "Perth strongly suggests and recommends it."Clearly, they all knew something I didn't. Before I
