Those headlines quickly came as soon as the broadcast ended. Everyone in Hollywood who had kept a track of the episode had been shocked.

Those who didn't know about it were notified by other people. It also blew up on social media as people started writing tweets saying how they were astonished.

With that, it was inevitable that negative comments were going to come up too. It was a habit of social media to judge everything and soon, a lot of people started asking if it was cheating or the program team had deliberately done it to get more viewers.

To tackle this, the producer of the game show had already prepared in advance.

As soon as people started accusing of cheating, a lot of statements of celebrities who also attended the shooting of the game show came up.

Liz, the first celebrity to play the game on the broadcast commented through her social media account, “It was a crazy shoot that day. I was sad about not making it far on the show when Aiden had started answering every question like he knows everything in the world. A lot of people were looking at him with open mouths.”

Alongside that, she also posted pics of the shoot when Aiden was playing. In one of them, Liz and other celebrities with her looked shocked to the core.

The social media team of 'The Million Dollar Game' also came up quickly and released a behind the scenes clip of the shoot with comments from producers, Nicolas Roberson and the other contestants alongside the audience.

This quickly shut up the people who were talking about cheating. In the first place, Nicolas was too respected in the industry, so many people just trusted him to not do something like this.

Moreover, it didn't make sense because the other celebrities would have surely protested if it was really scripted.

Aiden's fan group was having a field day as something so big and unexpected had suddenly become viral.

Most of them didn't even know there was a reality TV show that Aiden was appearing in and most of them didn't hold interest in it.

After all, being a fan didn't mean that people were going to follow and like everything about Aiden. With such diverse types of skills, he had a lot of different types of fans.

His fanbase wasn't so hardcore like k-pop stans to follow everything about him, from airport looks to where he was going.

[Skyneves: I can't believe I missed that. Why? Just why? I'm going to go catch up on the videos I could find online.]

[Have Smex: That was really epic!! I really wonder if Aiden is so smart for real or he was just lucky? He looks good but I didn't know he had such a good knowledge about different topics.]

[Dancing Vampire: Man, I caught up with it at the last minute and he took like 10 seconds to answer. If I was in his place, I would have quit even if I knew the answer. The fear of losing so much money already is too much if I think about it but that guy looked like he was on a picnic.]

[Young Fruit smiley: @Dancing Vampire Maybe that's why you are not there and he is?]

[Easy Pop songs: I watched an episode of 'The Million Dollar Game' after so long and it was really epic, seeing someone win a million dollars. The charity should be bowing to Aiden.]

[Alpha Sleeper: I never thought that a day would arrive where I would see a celebrity winning the top prize in a game show like 'The Million Dollar Game'. Truly unexpected!]

[The IT Dog: I'm pretty sure Aiden's popularity is gonna surge after this. It's rare for celebrities to do this type of accomplishment and just the shock value is too much. Charity organisations are also going to approach him to be their brand ambassador, especially because of his proper clean image and now, a charity would get million dollars because of him.]

As everyone on the internet was talking about it, media companies were being very busy too. Employees going home were suddenly hit with overtime and were told to write articles on Aiden and 'The Million Dollar Game'.

Anything that reaches the top of Sparrow was worth publishing about, especially something to do with a celebrity.

“I hate this job.”

One of the low level employees said as he typed away an article on Aiden to submit to the editor for tomorrow's newspaper. He worked in a publication that talked about every single big topic happening in America and it was just his luck that he was stuck in the entertainment department.

As he typed, his phone suddenly rang. Glancing at it, he picked it up with left hand while continuing typing with his other hand.

“Hello.”

“Are you writing about Aiden Silvereye? I watched the broadcast. The news is getting heavy traction online.”

Hearing those unexpected words, he shook his head in frustration.

“Yeah, I'm writing. My editor is being a pain in the ass. Making everyone write articles and he's going to just choose one of them to publish. Half of the employees are just writing it half-heartedly.”

“Must be fun.” The voice said before becoming a whisper. “Anyway I have some good information about you. It's about Aiden. Are you interested?”

The man stopped typing and squinted his eyes.

“What information? Don't tell me it's true that he cheated?”

“I don't know about that. Why will I even know?”

The man realised that it was true. His friend worked in a hospital as a male nurse. He would have known about it if he was working for Panther TV network.

“Then what information do you have?”

The man asked and his friend was quick to ask.

“How much will I get?”

“Hey, I thought we were friends.”

“I'm short on money. Will you pay my rent as a friend?”

The man licked his lips before sighing. Thinking about it, if the information was worth it, then he might get some benefits in the office and might even be able to shift to his desired department.

“Okay, let's hear it.”

An hour after that, an article was published on the website of the publication. An article that quickly became the news as everyone was talking about Aiden that night.

Even though the article stated that Aiden was fine, he didn't stop people from asking about what had happened exactly.

Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Did he get hurt during the shoot? Or did he get stabbed again?

These questions came up in the minds of people who saw this article. Soon, copy paste articles also came up and other established media companies started calling Zetflix, Phineas and any other actors that were on the set to get confirmation about the news.

Soon, it was also confirmed and it just gave the entry to more articles.

Zetflix who was privy to this news quickly released a press release stating that Aiden was fine and there were no injuries or freak accidents. According to the people on the set, he had just gotten too involved in the scene and lost consciousness.

Four hours later, he had woken up and was mostly fine.

***

In a room that looked like the office of someone in a high position in a company, a red haired woman whose hair was binded in a ponytail was reporting to the woman sitting in the chair.

There was an authoritative air about her and the red haired woman felt an unknown pressure on her body.

The woman before her was none other than Ava Adler.

“From what we gathered, Aiden Silvereye's body is fine but it's more of an issue of him entering too much in his character that he lost control of himself during the shoot. At least the director had that opinion which was supported by other actors.”

“What was the doctor's report?”

“He's all fine physically but therapy sessions are recommended.”

Ava didn't say anything about that. Things like these were common with method actors. Cases of them taking therapy to get out of their characters was true and sometimes, they might not even be able to come out.

It was a serious issue.

“Arrange the best therapist for him and the best care we could afford. We can't let any of the actors working on the project produced by me suffer.”

“Understood.”

“Also, send the marketing head that's responsible for [Sherlock of the Shadows] to my office.”

The red haired woman didn't ask what it was about and just nodded her head before trying to leave but as she was turning, Ava suddenly remembered something.

“Also, make sure my schedule is off sometime in the next few days. I would go visit him.”

The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
