CAT WARLOCK: This Darklord Feasts Upon Horror-Chapter 202: Stained Legacy

Evelynn picked up the phone. She scrolled through the article and found a small snippet about Jean’s interview at a talk show about her.

Evelynn pressed play.

"Evelynn was a problematic figure. She bathed in the light of the music industry for many years. That can ruin someone.

I was her body double but I’ve never known her true face. In this biopic, we tried our best to show the darker side of the Golden Princess and the crimes that she has been accused of lately."

"Crimes?! What crimes?" Evelynn blurted out.

"Let me help you with that." The black cat touched the phone with his paw. Chaos flooded into the inter web once again to look for information relating to Evelynn Monroe.

Articles after articles popped up inside the phone.

"What in the actual..." Even Selina was surprised by how many articles there were out there just to put Evelynn’s name down.

"Escort?! What do you mean Escort?! I would never do such things!"

"Well. Well. Well. It seems like someone is determined to drag your name to the ground." The black cat stroked his whiskers.

"But why?! I didn’t do anything. I have always been a good girl, paying my due, respecting my seniors. I have no enemies." Evelynn said.

"You don’t know about your enemies. Doesn’t mean you don’t have them. Sometimes, people would hate you simply because you are better than them.

And from what I know of the name Evelynn Monroe, there are a lot of people out there that want what you have." The black cat’s deep voice echoed.

"But I don’t understand. Why did Jean even accept to act as Evelynn in the movie?" Selina touched her hair in deep thoughts. "If I hate someone so much, I would never agree to act like them."

"I don’t think Jean hates Evelynn. I think Jean is envious of her. Jean wants everything Evelynn has. And acting as her in a mainstream movie would make Jean become the A-list actress she always wanted to be." The black cat grinned in response.

Mater knew these situations so well. One could never underestimate the cruelty of men.

Jean was at the premiere for the new biopic of Evelynn Monroe’s life. She stopped at the red carpet and posed for the cameras.

Many interviewers from big name journals came to her. They asked her questions, fished for her opinion and attention. Finally she could feel all the eyes directed at her.

Not the shadow of Evelynn Monroe. But as she truly is, Jean Mollison.

Everyone went inside after the brief stop at the red carpet. They sat down in the theater with the big screen in front. They watched in silence as the fake story about Evelynn Monroe was shown on the screen.

To put it in a mild way, there were many ’creative liberties’ that the studio took for this movie. To speak plainly, it was a complete fabrication of Evelynn’s life.

It didn’t show who she really was or what she really experienced.

Evelynn was a daughter of working class parents. Her mother was a tailor while her father was a mechanic. They were middle class with a very humble beginning.

But in the movie, Evelynn was the daughter of a billionaire. She was depicted as a spoiled brat that never knew how much was enough.

Then the story went into her school life.

In reality, Evelynn wasn’t that special during her school years. She was what they called a late bloomer. Evelynn was extremely ordinary during school. The fact that she didn’t know how to show her beautiful traits and let it hide beneath the baggy clothes and ugly haircut didn’t help either.

In the movie however, Evelynn was a whore. She had her first intercourse in high school and she even had an abortion there.

Then came the section of her career.

Evelynn worked hard. She stayed up many nights, singing until she tasted blood in her throat. It was bad and she eventually stopped doing such destructive habits when she got herself a proper physician. Evelynn learned many instruments, piano, violin, cello, guitar,... She made sure she mastered them all.

But in the movie, she had no talent. Everything fell upon her head because she had a rich father. Her singing was horrible but autotune saved her. She lip-synced all of her life performance. Then there came the entire fabrication part of the movie. Her tie with the Mafia.

A familiar name popped up in the movie. Thomas ’Tommy’ Moriarty. The patriarch of a crime family that had been facing a lot of heat recently. The movie showed that Evelynn was connected to Tommy and he helped her get to where she was.

In conclusion, the movie stated that Evelynn had no talent, and all the achievements she acquired was because of other men.

In the end, everyone stood up and applauded. They didn’t applaud for Evelynn. They clapped for her downfall and the forever stained of her name.

They sang never-ending praise to the performance of the lead role, Jean Mollison. For a brief moment, Jean had finally felt what it was like to be on top of the mountain.

She went home that night. Not the small condo in the seaside dock, but a large penthouse in Valley’s District.

Her new boyfriend bought Jean this house. He was a billionaire in his 50s. Jean sacrificed many things to reach this height. Her body, her dignity, and her soul.

She didn’t like how ’someone’ was able to achieve all of that out of nowhere. She had it all without shedding even a single sweat.

Jean went inside the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.

"Look at me. I am beautiful. More beautiful than the ugly Evelynn Monroe. People will remember you now, Evelynn. Not as the greatest pop-singer of all times. But the most shameful whore of all time. Right where you should be..."

Jean grinned widely. She saw Evelynn in the mirror standing behind her.
