Less than a minute after Pamela posted the photo, likes and comments flooded in.[What's wrong, Pamela? What happened?][Did someone bully you? Tell us who it was. We've got your back!][Don't be scared. We'll always love you. You still have us!]Reading the waves of concern and support, Pamela finally felt her nerves settle a little.Things were not at their worst yet. She still had millions of followers.Pamela replied to a few comments here and there.[My boyfriend cheated on me…and the homewrecker even threatened him with her life to make him break up with me.[I'm pregnant with his child, but because of another woman, he's forcing me to get rid of the baby…[This baby is my everything. We share the same blood. He can be cruel, but I can't… I don't want to lose my child…[What should I do? I'm so scared. I really don't know what to do anymore…]She twisted the truth effortlessly, without the slightest hint of guilt.The comments exploded. Fans comforted her, cursed the

"You just wouldn't come out, huh? What, you finally realize you've done too many shady things, and now you're scared?""You even lied to us about being betrayed by your boyfriend, saying you were just trying to protect the baby. How did you even say that with a straight face? Do you even have a conscience?""Exactly! We trusted you, and you used us like tools!"The angrier they got, the more heated it became. Some fans lost control and started throwing punches.Once one person did it, the rest rushed in after them.The scene fell into complete chaos.Lionel stood off to the side, watching coldly. Someone spotted him and swung at him, too."You're no good, either! You built this perfect image as the devoted husband, and look at you now! You're just a jerk!"Pain flared across Lionel's face, but he didn't fight back. He didn't try to stop them either.They weren't wrong. He was a jerk.The chaos lasted about five minutes, until Pamela suddenly doubled over in unbearable pain. B

"I love her. That's real. There's no acting in it at all. She gave me a second life. I can't lose her. Only You belongs to her alone. But…"At that point, Lionel's voice started to shake. He took several deep breaths before he could steady himself."But I still betrayed her. Six years together, three years married. I wasn't satisfied with the calm and ordinary. I cheated with the lead actress from the Only You music video, because she looked too much like my wife when she was younger."She was very direct about admiring me and how much I loved my wife, and she envied my wife for having a husband like me. She kept getting closer, dropping hints. I lost my composure and made a terrible mistake."I want to apologize again. I fully understand how wrong I was. I swear I'll never do it again. You can all hold me to that. And… I'm asking everyone to help me find my wife. She may have gone into the ocean. She's missing."The room fell silent for two seconds, then erupted into murmurs. N

Lionel sat on the sand at Whalers' Bay, the deep blue ocean stretching out in front of him. An overturned crate of empty beer bottles was scattered all around.In the corner of Whalers' Bay, the glass of an old, run-down visitor center was mottled and stained. Yet inside it, the melody of Only You played cheerfully, completely out of place.Lionel listened to the rhythm and unconsciously hummed along, then suddenly stopped. A bitter, self-mocking smile flickered across his face. He tipped his head back, taking a hard gulp of liquor.A young couple walked past behind him. Just a second earlier, the girl had been striking poses while the guy took photos. The moment she recognized Lionel's face, she rushed over, grabbed her boyfriend's arm, and whispered excitedly, "Isn't that Lionel? He's the cheating singer everyone's been talking about lately!"The guy froze, then realized it. "Oh, yeah. The one you told me about. You even said if I ever cheated, you'd kill me."The girl burst o
