After being secretly married to me for five years, my husband, a famous actor, suddenly reveals his relationship on his Twitter account. Promotional accounts find out who I am and make me out to be a woman who refuses to let the relationship die.

My husband's fans criticize and mock me all over the Internet, but I'm unfazed. My husband's the one who cheated on me, yet he's acting like he's deeply in love with another woman.

Does he think I'm nothing but a regular businesswoman? Sometimes, some people get ahead of themselves because they forget their roots. I bet he's forgotten who funded his success!

I had only just finished up a business meeting and gone back to my hotel room when my family suddenly started blowing up my phone with calls.

"Ally! What's going on?" The first to call was my sister, Anastasia Vaughn.

"Huh? What do you mean? What's going on?"

I was still very confused when she called.

"Oh, okay. As long as you're alright then. I was just asking you how the meeting went," she said with a relieved sigh when she heard my confused voice.

The second person to call was my best friend, Cindy Hertz. "Ally! Are you okay? Don't get upset, okay?" She sounded very anxious on the phone.

"Huh?"

Again, I was confused.

"Oh, you don't know about it yet? It's alright then! I was just asking you what it was like on the other side of the world!"

Cindy then made a few jokes and laughed for a while before hanging up.

Next, my mother called me.

"Alyssa! Are you okay?" she asked while hiccuping with tears.

"Okay, what's going on?" I asked, finally unable to hold it in anymore.

Mom went silent for a few seconds like she was stunned. Then, she exclaimed, "Alyssa, don't you know about it yet? Darren and that actress just made it official! Someone even managed to dig up your information and called you a homewrecker! The whole internet is on fire and calling you names now!"

"Darren Miles? How dare he?" I asked, frowning.

"Alyssa, don't mind him, okay? Your father and I and your uncles are already planning to blacklist him!" Mom said with a growl.

I held my head in my hands while feeling a little helpless. "Mom! Don't rush into things just yet, and tell them to hold their horses too! Let me see what's going on first. I'm sure this is something I can solve by myself!"

After talking to her for a long time, Mom finally promised me that she'd stay out of this.

I opened up Twitter and saw the list of trending searches and hashtags at once.

"A-List Actor Darren Miles' Relationship Exposed!"

"Award-Winning Actor Darren Miles in Love."

"Top Actor Darren Miles Gifts Flowers to Top Actress Eunice Gray."

As it turned out, Darren had just posted a Tweet earlier with a photo attached to it. The photo showed a bouquet of 99 red roses and a woman's back. Meanwhile, the caption read, "The prettiest flowers for the prettiest you."

Meanwhile, Eunice also posted another Tweet after that, along with a photo of their intertwined hands. Her Tweet read, "The flowers were pretty, but I think I prefer you."

At once, it was as if a bomb had blown up on the internet. Tens of thousands of fans left comments underneath their posts. They all wished them well.

"Oh god, my favorite couple is finally together! Please get married now!"

There were also plenty of fans who started rewatching Darren and Eunice's old variety show video clips.

"They're so in sync with each other! They belong together. This is the sweetest couple ever!"

"I agree! They should just get married now. They look so good together too! I'm in love!"

…

I read the comments and chuckled coldly. Then, I called up Darren's number at once.

"Hey, don't be such a meanie…"

As soon as the call went through, I heard the sounds of them making love with each other and panting. The call ended after just a few seconds.

I was disgusted and angry. That night, I immediately posted a photo of our marriage cert to prove that we were married.

The next day, I booked the next flight home. I wanted to see just how much longer Darren was going to continue with his act once I was back.

However, my Twitter blew up overnight. Suddenly, I'd made the headlines too. The top trending search read "Shameless woman fakes marriage cert with A-list actor Darren Miles".

Less than ten minutes later, Darren posted his reply on Twitter. He admitted that he used to date me, but we had already broken up on good terms. In fact, he was now wholeheartedly pursuing Eunice, and Eunice only.

Thousands of fans left comments under his latest post. Most of them were cursing at me.

"How shameless! They'd already broken up and she still went and doctored the cert! She's so disgusting!"

"She's so shameless to the point it's hilarious. GTFO and stay away from Darren! He deserves better!"

"Darren doesn't love you anymore, so just get out of his life!"

…

As soon as I'd gotten off the plane, Darren called. He told me to meet him at the mansion.

However, I'd just received news of a last-minute engagement at the company, so I had to head over first. I only went to the mansion after I was done with work and it was close to midnight.

I thought that Darren wouldn't have waited up for me. To my surprise, he had actually waited for me all day at the mansion.

I walked through the door to see him sitting on the living room couch. When he saw me, he immediately started to bombard me with questions. "It's already way past midnight! Why are you so late?"

I was already exhausted from the sudden overtime work I had to put in. However, as soon as I sat down on the couch, he'd already started questioning me. Angrily, I snapped back, "You're the one who cheated, so why are you making such a huge fuss? You should be thankful that I'm even here in the first place!"

As soon as he heard me call him a cheater, he froze for a split second. After recollecting his thoughts, he softened up and tried to justify himself. "I'm an award-winning A-list actor now, so you're not a good fit for me anymore."

"Oh? Not a good fit? What do you mean? I think it's still fine."

"Hah!" Darren looked at me in ridicule and said, "I am an A-lister, with tons of branding deals and a net worth of more than a billion dollars. But you're just a manager at work! I'm too good for you now!"

When I heard him say that he was now too good for me, I got so angry that I started to laugh.

"Then explain what I did for you five years ago."

"It's just freaking three million dollars! I'll pay you back tenfold if you want," Darren said. He got to his feet and looked down at me with a condescending expression. He then scoffed and turned to leave.

In my haste to stop him, I tripped on the thick carpet and fell to the ground on my knees.

"That's enough, Alyssa Vaughn! You're acting like an annoying fly who won't leave me alone. You disgust me!"

Darren then kicked me to the ground and cursed at me before leaving without looking back.

I fell back down on the carpet with my tongue pressed against my cheek. My anger had peaked. I had immediately thought up a million ways to make this scumbag pay. I was going to bring him down no matter what!

Mom had been right. Handsome men were all liars. They were nothing but bastards underneath their skin.

The next morning, the paparazzi somehow managed to snap photos of me going to his mansion in the middle of the night and Darren leaving in a huff after a while. They also snapped a few photos of me on my knees on the carpet when Darren left.

Once again, I was the top trending topic on Twitter. This time, it wasn't just Darren's and Eunice's fans who cursed at me and called me names—even non-fans were leaving me hate comments as well.

"Oh my god, is this woman a leech who'll die without him? She's even begging him on her knees! How pathetic!"

"Not a fan, but she disgusts me. Doesn't she understand what a breakup means? I can't understand her at all!"

…

Suddenly, my company and job position were posted online and made public to the world. I started receiving all sorts of hate mail—bloody wreaths, dead mice, and even hidden razors in parcels.

Someone even found photos of me giving a toast to one of my prospects while exchanging a few words. There was nothing going on in the photo. However, people started twisting the story behind it and saying that I was shamelessly meeting potential sugar daddies in private.

I spent so long on the top spot of the trending searches that I even got crowned "Top Search" by the social media platform. Everyone was talking about me, and the comments on all of the related posts were from keyboard warriors spreading false accusations about me.

"With so many sugar daddies, I'm sure she's already as loose as a goose! Haha! I'm so glad Darren broke up with her!"

"How shameless! I wonder how much they pay her for a night. No wonder she's such a high-ranking manager now! But if that was me, I'd already have been the CEO by now! Hahaha!"

Even the stock price of the company I worked at was severely affected. Thousands of fans boycotted our products. Some deranged fans even tried reporting me to the authorities. They accused me of running an illegal brothel by misusing my authority in the company.

No doubt, the easiest way to ruin a woman was to spread malicious lies about her, turn the media against her, and cyberbully her until she started doubting herself and caused her own destruction.

However, I wasn't one to stay silent. I wasn't going to let any of the people responsible for spreading false rumors about me get away that easily. I was going to hold them all accountable and make them pay for what they did!
