LOGINOn my way to work, I came across a livestream from an influencer who posted about her relationship, tagged at my company’s location. She was talking about her office romance with the CEO of a major corporation. But wasn’t the CEO of her company my husband? I clicked on her profile and saw that it was full of wedding-prep posts. The man never showed his face, but his build looked almost exactly like my husband’s. So I left a comment in the livestream: “I heard the CEO of Gibson Corporation has been married for a long time. So what does that make you...?” The streamer muted me, then instantly burst into tears. “The internet isn’t lawless. If you keep spreading rumors and calling me a mistress, I’m calling the police.” Her fans immediately swarmed me. “You’re probably the other woman yourself. That’s why your mind went there.” “I checked her profile. She’s some woman in her thirties. She’s obviously jealous because the streamer is young, pretty, and has a rich, powerful boyfriend who dotes on her.” “The account’s brand new. She’s obviously just a troll.” I tried to say more, only to realize I had already been kicked out of the livestream, and my account had been reported until I couldn’t even log back in. I stared at the proof of our marriage in the drawer for a long moment. Then I raised my hand and smacked my sleeping husband awake. “Exactly how many wives are you planning to have?”
View MoreOver the next few days, while I was recovering, I deliberately leaked information to Tessa that I was married but seeing another man on the side.Just like I expected, she had been following me for days.At first, I had wanted nothing more than to shove proof of my marriage in her face and make her see who I really was.But I had changed my mind.Wasn’t she good at manipulating people online? Then I was going to make her pay for it the same way. And I wasn’t breaking my promise to Leo either. I was going to force her to make the first move.The next evening, I left the mall and went to meet Eugene. Sure enough, a black Mercedes followed me all the way to a private club.I deliberately went into the restroom first. Tessa followed me in and she was already livestreaming. After I met up with Eugene, I pulled up her stream on a burner account and watched everything unfold in real time.Hiding in the restroom, she lowered her voice and said to the camera, “Guys, I ran into that cra
Leo came running toward me, and by the time Tessa tried to stop him, it was already too late.He threw the door open and found me there, gagged and tied to the stair railing.“Anna?”He spun around, furious. “What the hell is this? I’m asking you, what the hell is going on? Didn’t you tell me no one else was here?”Tessa burst into tears on the spot. “You know her? Honey, you know Anna? I didn’t know that. She kept insulting me and making things hard for me, so I just...”She reached for Leo’s arm, but he shoved her aside.What she didn’t know was that Leo was even more scared than she was.Was he going to kill me to silence me once and for all? He knew Eugene too well to ever dare.But how was he supposed to explain this to Eugene now?After a brief pause, Leo snapped and slapped Tessa hard across the face. “I’ll deal with you later!”Then he turned back to me. “Anna, you’re hurt. I’m taking you to the hospital.”He untied my legs, but he left the rope on my wrists and the
He kept calling out, sounding more and more confused. I wanted desperately to answer him, but I could not make a sound.I started stomping as hard as I could, trying to get his attention.Leo looked around. “Did you hear that?”Tessa forced a laugh. “No. You’re probably just tired. I didn’t hear anything. Maybe we should head back.”“Maybe.”And just like that, Leo hung up.I refused to give up and called him again.Leo wasn’t a stupid man. Otherwise, Eugene would never have kept him so close.Sure enough, the second time he picked up, he realized something was off.“Hello? Are you in trouble?“If you are, press any button three times.”Relief hit me so hard I almost cried. I quickly pressed a button three times.The second he heard it, Leo shot to his feet. “You guys go ahead and eat. My friend’s wife might be in trouble. I need to go find my friend.”He shoved back his chair and strode off, ignoring Tessa when she tried to stop him.But halfway there, he suddenly stoppe
Seeing that he still looked unhappy, a few of the coworkers who knew how to read the room quickly jumped in to defend Tessa.“Mr. Gibson, you have no idea how out of line that crazy woman was. Things have already gotten this big online, and she still had the nerve to come work at Gibson Corporation. She was obviously trying to get under Tessa’s skin.”“Exactly. Tessa was nice enough to help her sort out her files and personally bring them over, and she repaid her by spilling coffee all over that limited-edition bag you gave her. Even then, Tessa didn’t lose her temper. She’s already been more than kind.”The more they talked, the more worked up they got. From where I sat tied up behind the door, I listened to them turn the truth completely upside down.I couldn’t just sit there and wait for whatever came next.Tessa thought her boyfriend really was Eugene Gibson, and she clearly believed he could cover up anything. Who knew what she might try to do to me?Then I suddenly remember
