The Million-Dollar Heart

The cameras started rolling, and the reality show "Escape to the Wild" was underway.

The production team had scouted a variety of campgrounds, but it was up to the celebrity contestants to fend for themselves when it came to food and drink. At 8:30 each evening, a live broadcast was scheduled where fans could interact with the stars and vote for the least favorite. The one with the most votes would end up playing butler for the next day, taking care of all the chores.

On the first day of shooting, the group worked together to set up tents and cook dinner. It just so happened that Vivienne was not exactly an outdoorsy type.

Neither was Kala.

"Let me handle this, Granny. Why don't you sit and chat with Bo... Vivienne and the others?" Stephen, the only guy in the group, naturally took on more of the physical tasks.

Lucia and Lila also sat down, shamelessly buttering up Paloma Harris.

"Ma'am, your skin is just radiant."

"Ma'am, being around you feels just like being with my mom. So comforting."

The old lady was baffled. These two girls were not exactly known for their integrity, but they sure had sweet tongues.

Paloma clicked her tongue. "Oh, honey, we come from a family of good looks."

Vivienne could not help but burst into laughter.

Kala quickly tugged at her. "Vivienne, stop laughing. It's not nice."

Lucia and Lila did not dare confront Paloma, so they redirected her anger toward Vivienne. "You think it's funny? A murderer's granddaughter, I'd hide my face if I were you." Kala hung her head in shame.

But Vivienne, legs crossed nonchalantly, eyed Lucia. "Heard that the murderer gene is hereditary. Want me to give it a try tonight?"

Lucia shivered. "Are you trying to scare me? You dare say anything. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
