Starlight Shadows: The Superstar’s Final Act

For me, the global superstar Austin Sterling refused all on-screen kisses and kept a cold distance from every female artist in the industry.

He wrote endless love songs, chronicling our ten-year romance for the world to hear.

Everyone knew he was a "simp"—a man hopelessly, dangerously devoted to me.

Until I found the photos.

The photos of him and my best friend, tangled together in a betrayal that dated back two years.

It took me a long time to let go of everything, to stage my own death and leave.

And then, he lost his mind.
