Zoeline

The Setting: The Private Study ​The confrontation takes place within the soundproof, dim luxury of Joanne’s private home office. Heavy mahogany bookshelves line the walls, and a state-of-the-art tablet rests on the polished glass desk, aggressively looping the damning social media feeds. The room is dead silent, save for the faint crackle of Zoeline’s hidden vape, completely contrasting the secure, untainted image the family presents to high society. ​🖋️ The Introduction: The Hit List ​Privacy is the ultimate luxury, unless it is being used to mask a predator hiding right under your own roof. ​Joanne’s hand trembled with pure, unadulterated rage as she slammed the tablet face-up onto the glass desk. The glowing screen displayed dozens of viral, underground social media videos—clandestine footage, highly detailed tracking profiles, and hauntingly beautiful edits of unsuspecting local socialites. For years, Joanne had protected her family's pristine, ultra-wealthy reputation, brushing off Zoeline's late-night drinking, vaping, and erratic behavior as mere adolescent phases. But seeing her daughter’s hidden digital empire made her stomach churn. ​"Zoeline, explain this to me right now!" Joanne demanded, her voice cutting through the heavy silence of the study like a blade. "We are a private family. We don't expose our lives, let alone... whatever sick tracking game this is! Why are you doing this?"
