BOOKS Chapter3
Richard had serious pull. Before long, a group of social media influencers showed up, all with their phones out, streaming me live.
“Folks, we’ve got a major scoop! This woman might look plain, but underneath,
she’s rotten to the core!”
“For years, she’s relied on her cousin’s generosity, constantly demanding money. Even while her cousin is pregnant, she treats her like a servant–making her run errands, do the shopping, and pick her up when she’s drunk.”
“Despite her cousin’s kindness, she’s ungrateful and reckless with money, making
her cousin cover every expense. She’s not only drained her cousin’s funds but also turned her cousin’s villa into a hideout for her boy toys and maxed out her
cousin’s credit card to pay off huge gambling debts!”
“And her private life is a mess. She’s married but still engages in numerous affairs, both with her villa’s boy toys and others.”
She even had surgery to reconstruct her hymen to appear innocent and deceive
more men.
“I’ve heard she’s been treated for syphilis at least ten times in recent years. She’s so depraved, it’s like she can’t live without a man.”
The influencers‘ sensationalism and outrageous exaggerations quickly sparked public outrage.
Lies and distortions spread like wildfire.
Livestreams were soon inundated with insults aimed at me: “Her cousin and
husband must be horrified to be associated with such a shameless woman!”

She’s not even human–she’s a walking disaster!”
does someone like her even exist?”
My photos quickly topped trending searches.
Bloodsucking Woman,” “Toxic Cousin,” “Whore“-these became my new labels.
As the influencers stirred up the crowd, people began throwing trash at me. Some even tossed beer bottles.
I felt like a helpless target, buried under trash and abuse.
Then, James appeared through the crowd.
Seeing his familiar face was a fleeting relief.
James had always been my strongest support.
No matter the trouble, he was there to comfort me and solve my problems.
He was not only my lover but also my sanctuary.
In that moment, I longed to run into his arms.
I approached him, dropping all pretense.
But as soon as I reached him, he pushed me away with force.
I lost my balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Shards of broken beer bottles embedded in my hands and thighs.
The sharp pain was intense, but the heartbreak was deeper.
Had even James lost faith in me?

“Mary, I never imagined you’d be like this.
James’s face was dark with disappointment, his eyes filled with betrayal.
“For all these years, I’ve cherished you, met your every need, never lost my temper, and ensured your comfort.”
“When you were ill, I cooked nutritious meals, cared for you diligently, and made sure you were warm and well looked after.”
“And you?”
“You secretly drained your cousin’s resources, gambled, and tarnished your reputation!”
“All the care I gave you was wasted on such disgraceful behavior!”
“Mary, you’re not just degrading yourself–you’re destroying our marriage!”
James, usually so gentle, was now seething with anger.
His voice was strained, each word dripping with profound disappointment.
Seeing him like this only deepened my pain. I struggled to my feet and tried to explain: “James, I…”
Before I could finish, James slapped me hard across the face.
“Shut up! Don’t call me by my name–you don’t deserve it!”
He then threw his wedding ring at me.
“We’re getting a divorce!”
James’s cold, harsh demeanor pierced my heart. His slap shattered my last shred
of resolve.

I stood there, dated, as if my soul had been ripped away.
Richard seized the moment to taunt me:
“Mary, now you know what disgrace cels like. A greedy, shameless woman like
you, who chases after men, doesn’t deserve anyone’s love, especially not Jessica’s.”
“Luckily, I saw through you early on and distanced myself from such a loathsome leech. Associating with you is the greatest embarrassment of my life.”
“Your only value was bringing someone as wonderful as Jessica into my life. Now, face the scorn of everyone. I won’t let Jessica have any more contact with you. Let’s see how you cope without her!”
Richard’s words provoked a wave of agreement from the crowd.
The flood of insults from bystanders, relentless criticism from influencers, and the barrage of negative comments became overwhelming.
The weight of public condemnation was suffocating.
Despite my efforts to stay composed, I couldn’t help but break down.
At that moment, Richard’s phone rang.
It was Jessica.
As soon as he answered, Jessica’s tearful voice came through: “Honey, I… I’ve miscarried!”
Richard’s eyes widened in shock: “What happened?”
Jessica stammered: “It’s Mary! She was out partying with male models, and when I confronted her, she pushed me, causing the miscarriage!”
Jessica’s revelation brought a grim sense of relief amid the chaos.
