Vibrant strobe lights flashed across the sea of writhing bodies on the dance
floor, casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the polished surfaces that
surrounded me. The bass-heavy music thumped in my chest, each beat
threatening to steal away my breath as it filled up the room.
My nostrils were struck by the scents of sweat, perfume, and alcohol,
creating a heady concoction that only served to calm me down. I only felt at
ease when I was drinking and partying, and Château Noir was the hottest
club in LA. By some miraculous stroke of luck, I’d managed to get in
without anyone realizing who I was.
The anonymity was lovely.
Sheer heaven.
And I wasn’t about to give it up.
“Hey Alice, are you ready for me to call us an Uber?” Dinah shouted
through the thumping house music from the barstool beside me.
“Fuck no!” I yelled back to my personal assistant. “I’m not nearly drunk
enough yet!” I waved a hundred-dollar bill at the bartender, less worried
that he’d recognize me and more concerned that he wouldn’t replace my
vodka gimlets as fast as I was pounding them down.
The humiliation was still too new, too painfully raw. My social media
accounts were blowing up so bad that I’d turned off my phone a couple
hours ago.
They say it’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play them.
Well, I’d been dealt a winning hand—maybe the best hand you can possibly
get—and somehow I’d managed to completely blow it.
I wasn’t an idiot.
I was just unlucky.
Really, really unlucky.
I say I was dealt the best hand of cards because my entire family is
famous. Like, insanely famous. My dad is Derek Darling, a retired big-shot
NFL quarterback. My mom is Valentina Darling, a world-famous
supermodel. My parents raised me and my sisters in Malibu . . . on ‘Darling
Dynasty,’ a reality TV show that’s been running forever. It’s been filming
since my parents announced they were expecting their first baby.
I hated growing up in front of the cameras. Kids at school would only
be friends with me because they thought I’d help make them popular or
because their parents thought my parents would make them popular. Most
people only saw dollar signs when they looked at me. I guess word got out
that if me or my sisters were invited to someone’s birthday party, your odds
of getting an insanely awesome gift were all but guaranteed.
Things only got worse with puberty, and everything that went along
with it, like boys, acne, and tits that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Boys
never liked me for who I was. They just liked the idea of who they expected
me to be.
