Julian took me into a private room at the restaurant and ordered a table full of my favorite dishes. I couldn't help but marvel at how generous he'd become now that he was making good money.

I dove right in, enjoying the meal without holding back.

Midway through, Julian suddenly turned off the lights and left only the soft glow of the candles on the table. I was startled and unsure of what he was about to do.

Then, he pulled a small box from his pocket, got down on one knee, and opened it to reveal a diamond ring. It was only then that I realized he had brought me out for dinner to propose to me.

"Vicky, will you marry me?"

His face was full of sincerity, and at that very moment, his smile completely disarmed me. With trembling hands, I accepted the ring and said yes.

We had talked about marriage before and planned to tie the knot after I finished grad school and his career had stabilized.

However, Julian had risen to sudden fame through a viral video, and work took him away on

    After passing my exam, I decided to surprise Julian. Since I didn't know where he was working, I dropped by at the apartment he had rented.But when I rang the doorbell, a middle-aged man answered the door.I asked him about Julian, and the man told me that Julian had moved out three months ago.It seemed Julian had upgraded his living situation now that he was making more money, and he must have grown tired of this old, run-down neighborhood.But why hadn't he mentioned anything about moving? We were getting married soon, yet I was feeling more distant from him than ever.Due to Julian's busy schedule, we'd often struggled to find time to talk, and now, I didn't even know where he was living.After I dialed Julian's number, he immediately gave me his new address. When I arrived, he greeted me warmly and embraced me with excitement.I complained about him not telling me he had moved, causing me to go to the wrong place. He explained he had been so busy with work that he simply f

    A few days passed, and Julian finally exposed himself.Each day he returned home after work, I started finding women's items in his pockets, such as cute patterned tissues, keychains, and even lipstick. It seemed Winter had left them behind on purpose, though Julian had hardly noticed.When I grabbed all the items and confronted him angrily, he brushed it off by saying they were just props used in his recent videos. But I had been following his content closely and knew for a fact that none of those items had appeared in any of his videos. To me, they were obvious signs of his affair with Winter.I fumed and demanded that he keep his distance from her, especially since we were engaged. However, he called me unreasonable and began staying the night out from that day onward.Once, when I called to ask why, Julian said he was out networking with other influencers and had gotten drunk, so he decided to crash nearby instead of coming home.He told me not to worry about him, as if th

    I pretended as if nothing had happened and stayed out for the night. When I returned home the next afternoon, Julian had sobered up.With a guilty look, he asked where I had been the previous night.I lied that a friend of mine was in town, and we had gone out for dinner. Since we had talked late into the night, I had ended up staying at a hotel.Julian didn't press further. He was feeling uneasy as he had drunkenly invited Winter over to our home last night, and it wasn't until he woke up that he realized he had nearly forgotten I was home as well.I figured that when he had woken up that morning and Winter had told him I hadn't been home, it probably gave him some relief.Amused at his obliviousness, I listened as he tried to explain that he had been drunk and dropped off by his colleagues. He brushed the whole situation aside, thinking he had narrowly avoided disaster.Little did he know that I was waiting for an even bigger revelation.After Julian went back to work, he beca

    In the days that followed, Julian's condition noticeably worsened.His eyes were sunken, his face pale, and it looked like he had lost a lot of weight. He always came home with a dejected expression and was chain-smoking the whole time.I figured he was stressed because the end of his filming was approaching.Meanwhile, I was just waiting for the right moment to drop the bombshell once their content hit peak popularity. I had everything prepared and ready to be released at the perfect time.…One evening, Julian left his jacket on the couch, and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming.Disgusted, I picked it up to throw it in the laundry. But as I lifted it, I noticed something strange. There was white powder smeared across the pocket.Curious, I decided to take some to get it tested. Given how much time he spent in bars lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd gotten into something illegal.The day of their breakup video shoot was fast approaching, and I had everything planned. I

    In my article, I included photos of the agency's script, snapshots of Winter with her boyfriend, and shots of Julian and me together, though I blurred out my face for privacy.I also attached our chat logs to show how Julian had been planning to meet my parents and marry me, all while deceiving me. With such detailed evidence and explanations, people quickly took my side, condemning Julian and Winter for their actions.Winter's and Julian's reputations were utterly destroyed. Fans began editing their videos into parodies, and these edits gained significant traction.The viral nature of these posts kept the controversy alive, and I could only imagine the exasperation of the agency as they watched the scandal spiral out of control.It didn't take long for the Internet to dig up information on the agency.

    After a while, Winter and her agency were banned from the social media platform for violating content regulations, and she was arrested for filming indecent and violent material.When I saw the news, I learned that Winter was already a moderately well-known streamer before switching to making content.Her connection with Julian had started when he posted a humorous video on Instagram, which caught her attention. She had thought Julian was good-looking and was relatively unknown, making him a suitable partner for making videos with her, so she had reached out to him.Julian knew that these videos would involve plenty of suggestive scenes, yet he had still accepted her offer behind my back and lied to me about it being a casual shoot.He had ended up dating Winter to secure better opportunities, and their intimate relationship had begun right after the release of the first video.Meanwhile, I had naively believed he was only helping out a heartbroken girl.I had endured Julian's li

    A friend of mine sent me an Instagram video. I clicked on it and watched as a couple playfully doted on each other. The guy fed the girl a strawberry with his mouth, then embraced her lovingly.I was about to exit the video out of boredom when the guy turned his head, and I froze.He looked just like my boyfriend, Julian Lawrence.Julian had been dabbling in social media ever since he graduated, though he was far from famous. His content mostly consisted of selfies, and I'd never seen him post any videos.However, I checked and confirmed the Instagram account belonged to Julian.Since when had he started filming couple videos, and with another girl, no less? Not only that, but the way they fed each other with their mouths and kissed while hugging made me feel sick. Did he even think about how I'd feel?To make things worse, the video had gone viral with over 200,000 views. It was the widest reach Julian had ever gotten on social media. In fact, it was probably beyond his wildest

    I thought Julian had stopped seeing Winter after that, but I was wrong.The views and income from their viral video had lured him into filming more videos with her behind my back, and the content had become increasingly suggestive.I found out one evening while Julian was in the shower. He had left his phone unlocked on the living room table. A message from Winter popped up, asking him when he was coming over to film again.Feeling betrayed, I opened their chat and read their messages. To my horror, their conversations were ridiculously flirty, as if they were a real couple.I furiously checked Julian's Instagram page and saw five new videos that made my blood boil.In one, Julian was shirtless as he showed off his abs to let Winter run her hands over him. In another, he pinned her against a wall and kissed her passionately. There was even one video of them playfully wrestling on a bed.Each video had an absurd number of views, and the comments were all gushing about how perfect

    Julian and I video-called each day while he was away to update me on his work, and he often sent me luxury gifts from his earnings.It felt like our relationship hadn't suffered at all from the long distance, and I trusted him completely.We managed to see each other two to three times a month, and every time he visited, I was overjoyed. We'd go out on dates and enjoy each other's company.One time, Julian returned from his trip just in time for my birthday.I recorded a short video of us celebrating over dinner and shared it on my Instagram along with a photo of the gift he bought me so that I could look back on that memorable day.I hadn't been one to post much before.
