로그인Narrator's POV A few days later, the entertainment industry exploded once again. Early that morning, several shocking articles suddenly began spreading online at an unbelievable speed. “Gina Greenwood Seduces Cousin’s Fiancé!” “Gina’s Secret Affair With Ethan Cole Exposed!” “Emily Was the Real Victim All Along?” The news spread so quickly that it climbed straight to the top trending topics within hours. Attached to the articles were several pictures and videos. The same ones Clarissa had shown Roland before. Pictures of Gina and Ethan standing together outside restaurants. Talking privately inside cafés. Getting out of the same car. And the most damaging one of all— The video of Ethan hugging Gina in Prime Entertainment's parking lot. Although the pictures themselves did not clearly prove cheating, the articles were written in a way that strongly guided public opinion against Gina. Several bloggers even claimed Gina had secretly maintained contact with Ethan after becom
Emily's POV I could not believe it. When we arrived at the event, I kept watching Gina's reaction. Two days had already passed since I sent those pictures to Clarissa. I was certain she had already made her move, and Roland must have broken up with Gina by now. When I saw Gina acting normally, I thought she was only pretending. I never expected her to suddenly show off an engagement ring. That embarrassed expression she put on was definitely an act. If she truly did not want people to know about the engagement, why would she wear the ring? I could not stand watching Gina show off, so I secretly took a picture while she was displaying the ring and sent it to Clarissa. I wanted her to realize that if she delayed any longer, it might become too late. After sending the picture, I waited. "Show off all you want. Just wait until you get dumped," I smiled coldly. "What are you plotting?" Ethan's voice suddenly sounded beside me. I had no idea when he walked over. "What are you talki
Gina's POVI had taken my time getting dressed because it had been a while since Roland and I went on a proper date. I had no idea he was planning an engagement.After all, we had only officially been together for about four months.Hearing him say I was his forever made me accept his proposal without hesitation. I was certain he was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.The evening truly felt magical. I honestly did not think the proposal could have been more perfect.Roland dropped me back home at about eleven p.m. I expected Mum to already be asleep, but she was still awake."Mum," I called.She quickly closed whatever she had been reading on her phone. Since our last discussion, I had tried my best not to think too much about the possibility that I was actually related to the Lopez family."Any news?" I asked."Yes."As she spoke, she opened her phone and handed it to me.On the screen was Mrs. Peterson's picture.I carefully read the information beside it. She sh
Roland's POV I watched as Gina rolled her eyes at the mention of Ethan's name. "He did," she admitted before taking another sip of her drink. "He actually told me he realized I was the one he truly loved," she said with obvious disgust. I could not help staring at her quietly. Although I heard the disdain in her voice, my heart still tightened slightly. All day, those pictures had stayed in my mind. Especially that hug. A part of me had kept wondering if Ethan's regret had affected her somehow. What if she still had feelings for him? What if the hug meant something more? like a makeup... I tried hard not to let my thoughts wonder. Then Gina suddenly frowned. "He really takes me for a fool," she muttered. "Why would I even look at him twice when I already have you?" The moment those words left her mouth, every bit of uneasiness inside me disappeared instantly. I saw the teasing smile on her lips but I bet she meant every single word she just said. Gina blinked at me. "Why
Roland's POV The moment Clarissa left my office, the room became quiet again. I leaned back against my chair while my eyes slowly moved toward the documents in front of me. The pictures were gone now, but the images remained clearly in my mind. Especially the last video. I picked up my pen lightly before putting it down again. Honestly, I would be lying if I said those pictures did not bother me at all. I knew about Gina and Ethan's past. The two of them had dated before Emily got involved. Back then, Gina had truly liked Ethan. They had dated for three years, and I had started out as her pretend boyfriend. Sometimes, I even felt she had loved him deeply. That was the part I could never completely ignore. I lowered my eyes quietly. The older pictures did not affect me much because I recognized immediately that they were taken long before Gina met me. At that time, she did not even know I existed. The café picture, the restaurant picture, and even the video near her apar
Narrator's POV Late that night, Clarissa Long sat inside her apartment while scrolling through the files Emily had sent. At first, she did not take them seriously. She even felt Emily was becoming desperate. But as she opened the first picture, her expression slowly changed. The photos were taken at different times. Some looked old while others were more recent. In one picture, Gina and Ethan were standing outside a restaurant together. Although Ethan had a mask over his face, as long as one took a careful look, they would recognize him. Another showed them talking inside a café. Looking at the picture, Clarissa could tell if it had been taken from a far distance. Ethan's features were also partly hidden. They looked like people having a secret date. There were also two short videos. The first video showed Ethan getting out of the same car as Gina. The background looked like an apartment complex. The second was shorter but looked much more intimate. Ethan and Gina were
Gina’s POV I did my best. Now I could only pray that there were more people who cared about good music. I knew a lot of people might still vote for Emily because they were her fans. I went back to my seat. Roland suddenly took hold of my hand. “Don’t worry, your performance tonight was good,”
Gina's pov I was really grateful to Betty, as her presence helped me block unnecessary questions. Roland was busy attending to the guests, but she ensured I was not left out. I followed Betty and a few of her friends as they led me toward the Williams family garden. The evening air was warm and
Gina’s POV “How about you two discuss in private?” Roland asked. He seemed to notice that Karl was not cool with the situation, and I also did not dare expose my real identity in public. “All right,” Karl agreed. Roland led the way into the house and soon into a music studio. “Go in,” Roland tol
Gina’s POV After Rena’s visit, I noticed more changes. People greeted me in the mornings. Some even smiled. Conversations no longer stopped the moment I approached, and no one looked at me as if I were waiting to steal something off their desks. I began to feel more comfortable, believing that
