Story: His Ex Was the Wife
I couldn’t even finish reading it because it portrayed me in such a negative light.
Many people threatened to cyberbully and dox me in order to avenge their idol.
They even included a close-up of my Ferrari, claiming it was purchased with stolen company funds and that the vehicle would be repossessed.
This fabricated news made me laugh in outrage.
“Mom, don’t be upset. It’s okay, I’ll handle it myself.”
“How can you handle it when they’re smearing a young woman like you with such filth? Your father said he wants to take care of that Nick.”
Right then, my phone rang. It was Nick calling.
After I answered, his voice was filled with anger, “Helen, where are you? Come to the company right now and explain about that five hundred thousand!”
I responded immediately: “I will come to the company, but that money has nothing to do with me. I can’t explain it to you. I’m only coming to resign. Please have HR prepare the paperwork. I’ll be there to sign the termination agreement.”
“You! Helen, are you doing this on purpose? You know my company is about to go public; are you creating this scandal to sabotage me?
“I understand you are upset, but didn’t I promise to make it up to you? And it’s the last time. Why are you pulling this stunt?
“Considering all the years you’ve been with me, I’ll give you time to come up with a reason. Whatever it is, as long as you explain it clearly, I can keep this from going public. I don’t want this matter to reach the police.
“And, since that car was purchased with company funds, you should return it.
“I will be waiting for you at the company.
After hearing his machine-gun-like speech, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Nick, I have known you for many years. I never imagined you could be this stupid!
“If I’d known it would be like this, all the feelings I’ve invested would have been better off thrown to the dogs!”
Nick sighed on the other end.
“Helen, don’t say things out of anger. As long as you’re willing to return the car and apologise to me and Gianna, I’ll treat you the same as before.”
I exclaimed in surprise, “What? Who does she think she is? Why should I apologise to her?”
“Helen, please stop making trouble, okay? Do you know how embarrassed she was when you suddenly showed up yesterday? If she hadn’t quickly made up that story, the fact that you and I were married would have been revealed, and she would have been criticised for breaking up someone’s family. Do you know how important a celebrity’s reputation is?”
“Your behaviour yesterday made Damian cry. You need to take responsibility. Be good and come apologize to them.” Furious, I shouted into the phone, “She’s afraid of being accused of breaking up someone’s family, but it doesn’t matter that I’m being cursed by everyone?”
Nick continued to defend himself, “You two are different. You’re not a public figure. Nobody will care. You do not have to show your face in public in the future. I will take care of you. “But she is a public figure.”
I was so angry that I hung up the phone and yelled repeatedly to let out my emotions.
I slapped myself hard in the face.
“Mom, I am such an idiot! How could I love such a despicable man so much?”
Mom held me with concern, “My dear, don’t act like this. It breaks my heart to see you like this.’
After calming down, I quickly got out of bed to prepare to confront him in person at the company.
Mom was concerned about me. As I walked out the door, Cole was already waiting beside my car.
“I’ll go with you.”
My parent’s advice was, “You’re too emotional right now. I’m afraid something might happen. I’ll feel better if Cole goes with you.”
I nodded and told Mom, “Mom, tell Dad he doesn’t need to get involved in this. Nick isn’t worth it!”
He said, “That’s right, Auntie. I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.”
With that, we drove my Ferrari straight to Nick’s company.
I felt a lot better after the drive.
I asked Cole to park the car in a visible location in the parking lot and then called Nick.
He came down quickly, his eyes brightening when he saw my car.
Despite having made a lot of money over the years, he couldn’t bring himself to buy such an expensive car.
Seeing Cole was also there, Nick first nodded to him.
