get clean and rebuild his life.
The intervention took him by surprise. Seeing his father and mother in the same room after their heart-wrenching divorce was what really set Connor straight. Growing up, he had immense respect for the love his parents seemingly shared. Needless to say, Connor was devastated to find out that his father did not have the same respect for love as he did, leading him to have three sugar-babies in two different states.
After the intervention, Connor went back to school and graduated with a degree in Film and Visual Studies from Harvard, of course. In film, he was able to find a new passion, something to bring back meaning to his life. He began to direct and produce small indie films at first, but it wasn ’ t long before his talent along with his name got him recognized and he began to produce much larger films. It was last year, when he won an Oscar for directing his blockbuster hit The Fallen, that his status in the film industry was cemented. He wasn ’ t the reckless trust-fund kid anymore. He had made his own identity and created his own wealth. It was an incredible feeling, a feeling that breathed new life into Connor.
In between filming and directing, Connor was able to find the love of his life as well. Or at least, he thought he had. Shannon Reed, the A-list actress who was discovered for acting in all of his beginning films, seemed like the perfect woman. She had movie-star good looks, an amazing and bubbly personality, and wasn ’ t as dumb as a bag of the usual LA bimbos. They immediately hit it off and made their marriage official last summer. Their relationship wasn ’ t the typical Hollywood tabloid love story. They got along extremely well and it felt as though it was everything Connor ever asked for.
Until Shannon took a line of coke at an after party.
After that initial hit, it was like a monster was unleashed and her downward spiral into infamy was initiated. Connor saw her do the line and tried his hardest to stop her. He knew how hard the grip of addiction was, but Shannon didn ’ t listen. She inhaled the line in one smooth movement. Over the course of the next few months, Connor could only stand by and watch as Shannon partied recklessly, the taste of fame becoming intoxicating. The drug cocktails she ingested every night would send her to cloud nine, leaving Connor behind to deal with the brutal reality of the situation.
He tried to talk to her, to threaten her with divorce, but she would never listen. She knew he was too invested with her. She knew Connor ’ s biggest fear was being alone, and as long as Shannon was there to comfort him when she wasn ’ t high out of her mind, then Connor wouldn ’ t go anywhere. And it was true. Even though Connor had a line of women wanting to get in bed with him, and why wouldn ’ t they? He was the perfect specimen of a man. His chiseled face looked like it was sculpted right out of a marble statue. His breath-taking green eyes were framed by medium locks of deep brown hair that somehow found that perfect balance between messy and kept. His body was also nothing to turn away from, his physique rivaling that of a Greek god ’ s, with strong shoulder and biceps and an eight pack that would make any woman weak in the knees. He was every woman ’ s dream. And that was the problem.
Growing up, Connor always had his fair share of vapid, gold-digging LA women. He could never sift through enough dirt before he found a gold piece. So when Shannon came along, he felt blessed beyond relief. Shannon had so much more depth than any of the other women who vied for his attention, and so when they both fell for each other, Connor thought he would never have to look for anyone again. And he still held on to that hope, but it was getting worse and worse. Her addiction was taking over, and the more she spent in bathroom stalls shooting up, the more enticing the drugs seemed to Connor. He already won an old battle with addiction, he wasn ’
