Chapter 4

Brandon

I don’t know how I make it through five long, tortuous days at MIP. My only saving grace is I rarely see Katrina during the day. She spends most of her time shopping with Gucci along the Rue D’Antibes while I hang out with Blake and meet with broadcasters and licensors from around the world at the swamped Conquest Broadcasting booth inside The Grand Palais. My nights, however, are an entirely different story. She’s wrapped around me like a noose and insists on going to every dinner and event I’m invited to. We’re the darlings of both the press and paparazzi. They can’t get enough of Bratrina. Photos of us together are splattered all over newspapers in Cannes and I’m sure all over the world. Not wanting to make myself sicker than I am, I’ve totally avoided the Internet. I’m sure it’s a Bratrina fest.

Finally, on the last day of the conference, I have a chance to sit down with Blake for a drink at The Carlton Bar. He’s managed to score us a corner booth that gives us a modicum of privacy in the bustling Belle Époque space. It’s a popular spot among broadcasters to hang loose after a busy day at the convention. I’m dressed casually in ripped jeans and a T-shirt while he’s in a dark, sleek suit that’s tailor-made for his body. Blake may look like an actor, but first and foremost he’s a businessman. And let me tell you, after seeing him in action on the floor, he’s great at his game.

Over expensive Scotches, we start off with small talk about MIP.

“We rocked it,” says Blake after a sip of his cocktail. “Thanks to the screening, we renewed the show in every major territory at a premium price and even picked up new broadcasters along with lucrative licensing and merchandising deals.”

Since I have profit participation, that’s going to be a big chunk of money to me. Yet, right now, I could give a shit. “That’s great,” I say, my voice lackluster.

“Brandon, you don’t seem too excited.”

I take a swig of the Scotch. “I am. I’m just tired and stressed.”

“Brandon, I’m going to level with you. I didn’t ask you to have drinks with me to talk business. I’m worried about you, bro. You’re our biggest star. And a friend. I need to know what’s going on.”

I shift in the booth and take a deep breath. “It’s Katrina. I have a problem.”

His brows knitted, Blake takes another sip of his drink. “Problem isn’t the right word. Katrina’s a fucking nightmare. I’ve tried to tell you this.”

I take another chug of my Scotch and set the tumbler down. If Blake’s going to open up to me about their past, it’s now or never. Here goes. “What went down between the two of you?”

Blake drains his Scotch. He breathes in and out through his nose. “Listen, man, this is what I can tell you. She almost cost me my life and my marriage.”

“Jesus. She tried to kill you?”

“Not quite, but she could have.
