Oscar-Winning Traitor의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Emil Brando thanked everyone on stage the night he accepted his award. Everyone except me, his agent, whose investment had paved the way for him to become the Academy's Best Actor.I stared at the familiar backdrop before me and the list of nominees, overcome by a stunned sense of déjà vu. Had God pitied me so deeply that He had brought me back to this moment in time?I watched Emil accept his Oscar, step off the stage, and return calmly to his seat beside me. He paused for a moment before turning to embrace the actress he was rumored to be dating.The crowd erupted into screams of excitement. Fellow actors and guests watched with morbid fascination. His assistant, who knew about our relationship, shot me a wary glance, expecting me to lose control right then and there.I laughed through my tears.I had promised him that as soon as he won an Oscar, he would marry me. Back when he was a complete unknown, Emil had agreed without a second thought. He had taken my hand and told me tha

Leading the young man back into the event caused quite a stir.Attention shifted toward us from every direction, but I ignored it. The young man also seemed focused only on me, paying everyone else no mind.Emil glared from his seat as he furiously fired off texts.Emil: [What the fuck are you doing?!]Emil: [You think you can get under my skin just by bringing some random NPC with you?!]Emil: [Do you still want me to marry you or not?! Because you're shooting your fucking self in the foot!]A faint smirk tugged at my lips for a brief moment. He caught my eye and froze before his expression darkened even further."Miss Colbert, a little bird told us you came here to celebrate our Best Actor's achievements this year. He seems to be taking home quite a few awards tonight! Is there anything you'd like to say about that? Perhaps a word of congratulations?" the emcee asked.I smiled. "Oh, then I guess the little bird got it wrong. I came here for this young man beside me. Not him."

The internet was ablaze with memes and trending topics that evening.[#EmilBrandoOscar.][When you become an Oscar winner and immediately start harassing your producer:][#EmilHelenaHug][Did Emil Brando force a producer to marry him?][POV: The Oscar Doesn't Go to Loyal Men]Emil's fans were especially stunned by what had gone viral. They couldn't decide whether to congratulate him on his award or be furious that he had jeopardized his own career.In the end, though, the choice was obvious. They were fans before anything else. Of course, they were never going to blame him. Instead, they quickly began a campaign of misdirection and pinned everything on me.They spun one narrative after another. They claimed I was jealous of Emil, so I had stirred up a scandal to embarrass him. They insisted Emil and that other actress, Helena Hyatt, were meant to be together, and that I was jealous of her as well.According to them, I had fabricated the entire story to make it look as though E

"Whoa. Your shows? Sorry, when did I ever take your show?" I asked in disbelief."Those talk shows and reality TV programs he's booked for, you booked them for me back then! Those spots were supposed to be mine!"I snickered."Are you nuts? Since when were those meant for you? Who told you that? Maybe we should sit down and clear up this hilarious misunderstanding," I replied. "Or... did you actually book those shows directly with the producers, and we took your spot?"Emil's face twisted with barely restrained rage. "You're playing a very dangerous game, Bette. I don't think you can afford the consequences of losing me!"God, I almost threw up in his face. "Man, who the hell do you think you are? Losing you is like losing what I flushed down the toilet yesterday morning. Why would I cry over that?"A crowd began to gather around us. Naturally, phones and cameras were already recording.Humiliated, Emil tried to drag me away from the crowd. "Why do you always have to drag bystan

My assistant sounded downright shaken."They found the hospital where my grandfather's recuperating and somehow took him off the respirator," another colleague added. "Luckily, my mom found out. She and the nurses had to call security to throw them out of the building!""Do you know what I found outside my house this morning? A freshly beheaded cat! What the fuck is wrong with them?!""It's his stans. They're all fucking insane. They think they're above the law because they're too young to go to prison!"My skin crawled. I had expected the attacks to come after me, just like they had in my last life. I had prepared myself for that.But this? He was dragging the people around me into his twisted campaign of revenge because he knew he could no longer get under my skin unless he hurt the people I cared about.Well, he got one thing wrong. I was no longer the Bette Colbert he could walk all over. This time, I would bring him to his knees."We're gonna call the cops!" I declared.…
