In the spring of the second year, I won an award. It was the top design award—the Gold Award. My winning entry was an urban renewal design plan for an old district, one I had poured my heart into over the course of the previous winter.On the day of the award ceremony, I stood on stage with the spotlight on my face.The host handed me the microphone and asked, “Olivia, over all these years, what would you say has been your greatest takeaway?”The audience fell silent. I paused to think for a moment, then spoke into the microphone. “Learning to trust my own judgment. Four years ago, everyone told me that my judgment was wrong, and even I ended up doubting myself for three whole years. Later on, I came to realize one crucial thing: when you have the facts, everyone else’s voices are nothing more than noise.”Applause echoed throughout the auditorium. Afterward, a reporter followed me backstage to ask whether I was referring to that widely known marriage of mine.I simply smiled. “

After the judgment, I stopped paying any attention to them. However, the internet did not let them off so easily.Every few days, updates on Ezra’s situation would trend. First, he was photographed working as a telephone sales representative in an office building. When a photo of his employee badge was leaked, the comment section made a joke out of it.[From director to cold caller, all in one step.]Later, he reached out to me through an old friend of mine.[Ezra said he knows he was wrong now. He asks if you can be the bigger person and stop everyone from staring at him.]I looked at the message, marked it as read, and didn’t reply.Three days later, he tried a different approach. He found a small media outlet and did an exclusive interview. The title was quite sensational, too. It was titled, “A Loser’s Confession: How I Ruined My Own Marriage.”In front of the camera, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled. “The person I owe the biggest apology to is my ex-wife. I a

On the day the verdict was delivered, I made a point to wear a red dress. The judge read the judgment slowly, and I heard every word loud and clear.“Divorce is granted. The defendant, Ezra Wright, is the party at fault and shall receive a smaller share of the joint marital assets in accordance with the law. Pre-marital assets shall remain with their respective owners. Two properties under the defendant’s name shall be evaluated and compensated to the plaintiff at equivalent value.“The case involving online cyber-trolls’ threats will be handled separately, and the third party, Nina Doherty, will bear the corresponding responsibility.”A week later, the judgment officially took effect. The division of assets went very quickly. Ezra’s lawyer was extremely cooperative this time, signing papers and transferring titles without any delays.When all was said and done, Ezra walked away with less than thirty percent of the assets. Someone did the math and posted it online. “He reimbursed

The day of the court hearing, the sky was clear and sunny. When I arrived, quite a few reporters were already crouching near the entrance. Ezra’s legal team—four men in crisp, tailored suits—were the first to arrive. Nina, named as the third party, sat on the other side with her head held low.The gavel struck, signaling the start of the trial.The lead attorney for the opposing side stood up first and spoke calmly, “Your Honor, this case is merely a standard divorce dispute stemming from emotional incompatibility. During their marriage, the two parties spent little time together and grew distant. My client agrees to the divorce but firmly rejects any unfounded allegations. The claim of a third party interfering in the marriage is purely the plaintiff’s speculation.”Frank stood up and simply said, “Whether it is speculation or not, please look at the evidence.”The first set of evidence was projected onto the large screen—flight bookings for a trip to Asper with both of their na

The day after the police filed the report for harassment, I posted my second update online. This time, it wasn’t nine pictures, but a complete timeline starting from eight years ago.The first section listed the transaction records of the financial sponsorship. There were ninety-six transfers over eight years, and not a single one was missing.After the date of each transaction, I noted down the final destination of the funds.“In September of Nina’s sophomore year, two thousand dollars in tuition fees were transferred to her. Three days later, five thousand dollars was transferred out to recipient Ezra Wright.”For four years, it went on like this every year.The second section was a comparison table of his fake business trips over the four years. Out of twenty-seven expenses claimed, twenty-three were proven to be fabricated. Attached to it were hotel bookings, flight tickets, and security camera screenshots.The third section contained records of the intimidation. There were s

At ten o’clock the next morning, I posted on Facebook. It was posted from a verified account, and the screenshots had been notarized by a lawyer. There were nine images neatly arranged in a grid.The first image showed a fake expense claim listing a trip to Crosstown, paired with a hotel booking confirmation from Asper. The second image showed an expense claim listing Danube City, paired with hotel receipt records from a resort in Pacific Beach.The third to seventh images contained a comparison chart of fake business trips, detailing twenty-seven trips over four years. The eighth image was an elevator surveillance screenshot showing Ezra with his arm around Nina. The ninth image showed the two names listed together on a single hotel reservation.The body of the post read, “No such person was found, but the affair is real.” I didn’t whine, ramble on, or defend myself. After posting it, I turned off my phone and went back to drafting my designs.At noon, Lindsey burst into the roo
