Just as she reached for her hair clip, Bella's video call popped up on her phone. Once she answered, Bella anxiously blurted out, "Natalie, bad news! You're going viral!" Natalie could barely process her words. "What?" Bella frantically said, "I'm sending you the link. Check it now." Natalie dropped the hair clip and tapped on the link Bella sent. The top trending topic had a headline that read, "#RenownedArtistAmanda'sChaoticPrivateLife". The attached pictures were of her slipping cash to Jonah at The Specular and his hand tugging at hers, leaning in too close.

I bet she'll be even more excited than me. - What happened here, dad? - Colby asks me, confused. I had to laugh. This son of mine lives so focused on training and games that he doesn't even understand anything about the reality of life. I know that out of my three pups, he's the most innocent and deserves to find his perfect mate, but for now, he doesn't even know how to recognize when a mate bond is created. - You really are an idiot. – My other son, Dominic, told him – didn't you see they are mates?

"Wasn't it all supposed to be a lie?! Why weren't you lying to me?!

The photograph was the same young woman. My grandmother. The real Garcia. The live comments erupted. “So THAT is the real Garcia? Then who’s the woman next to him?” “The letters say it plainly. And he just said he ‘rejected’ her. Lying without batting an eye.” “So the real Garcia was abandoned in the rural West. Who is this fake Garcia? This is insane.” Daniel Harrington’s lips pressed into a thin line. He gripped the table. His fingertips were white. A bead of sweat ran down his forehead.

Her mind racing. “I know what’s real.” “Do you?” Silence. Ariana clenched her fists. “I can feel it.” The girl nodded slowly. “Exactly.” Her chest tightened. “What?” “You can feel it.” The girl leaned forward slightly. “That’s all reality is.” Ariana’s stomach dropped. “No…” The girl smiled faintly. “You think reality is something fixed. Something absolute.” Her voice softened. “But it’s not.” Ariana shook her head. “That’s not true.”

I chided her. "Please, Miles. You are not going to lecture me on morality, are you? You are a celebrity, for crying out loud. You know how the game is played and stop acting like you are better!" Hailey replied rolling her eyes. "That may be true, but I have never resorted to manipulation and lies to get ahead. And I certainly would not use my relationship with someone to further my own interests." I made her realize. "Oh, poor Miles. You really are so innocent. You think our relationship was ever about anything more than convenience and mutual benefit?" Hailey said laughing hysterically.
