The Act of Cheating Chapter 1
I had only just finished up a business meeting and gone back to my hotel room when my family suddenly started blowing up my phone with calls."Ally! What's going on?" The first to call was my sister, Anastasia Vaughn."Huh? What do you mean? What's going on?"I was still very confused when she called."Oh, okay. As long as you're alright then. I was just asking you how the meeting went," she said with a relieved sigh when she heard my confused voice.The second person to call was my best friend, Cindy Hertz. "Ally! Are you okay? Don't get upset, okay?" She sounded very anxious on the phone."Huh?" Again, I was confused."Oh, you don't know about it yet? It's alright then! I was just asking you what it was like on the other side of the world!"Cindy then made a few jokes and laughed for a while before hanging up.Next, my mother called me."Alyssa! Are you okay?" she asked while hiccuping with tears."Okay, what's going on?" I asked, finally unable to hold it in anymore.

At once, it was as if a bomb had blown up on the internet. Tens of thousands of fans left comments underneath their posts. They all wished them well."Oh god, my favorite couple is finally together! Please get married now!"There were also plenty of fans who started rewatching Darren and Eunice's old variety show video clips."They're so in sync with each other! They belong together. This is the sweetest couple ever!""I agree! They should just get married now. They look so good together too! I'm in love!"…I read the comments and chuckled coldly. Then, I called up Darren's number at once."Hey, don't be such a meanie…"As soon as the call went through, I heard the sounds of them making love with each other and panting. The call ended after just a few seconds.I was disgusted and angry. That night, I immediately posted a photo of our marriage cert to prove that we were married.The next day, I booked the next flight home. I wanted to see just how much longer Darren was going

When I heard him say that he was now too good for me, I got so angry that I started to laugh."Then explain what I did for you five years ago.""It's just freaking three million dollars! I'll pay you back tenfold if you want," Darren said. He got to his feet and looked down at me with a condescending expression. He then scoffed and turned to leave.In my haste to stop him, I tripped on the thick carpet and fell to the ground on my knees."That's enough, Alyssa Vaughn! You're acting like an annoying fly who won't leave me alone. You disgust me!"Darren then kicked me to the ground and cursed at me before leaving without looking back.I fell back down on the carpet with my tongue pressed against my cheek. My anger had peaked. I had immediately thought up a million ways to make this scumbag pay. I was going to bring him down no matter what!Mom had been right. Handsome men were all liars. They were nothing but bastards underneath their skin.The next morning, the paparazzi somehow

I also collected all the information on the keyboard warriors spreading malicious lies about me and put them aside for safekeeping.

He posted, "Rational and independent women deserve to be loved. Women should all live for themselves. Marriage is just something beautiful that happens along the way when you're in love."Eunice also posted on her Twitter shortly after.

From the video the police shared with me, I learned that Darren had gotten into a huge fight with Eunice a few days before he crashed his car into me.Even after Eunice's fall from grace, she still wanted to be with Darren.Eunice had been smart. She knew that she had a shady past, so she had been putting a chunk of her money in an overseas bank account every year. This was so that in the event she could no longer be an actress, she could still always move abroad and start over.In the video, she was trying to convince Darren to move abroad with her. She also told him that she had at least tens of millions of dollars in that account, so it would be sufficient for the both of them.However, Darren argued that he wanted to kill me by running me over with a car and faking an accident scene. Eunice didn't have the guts to do it and kept trying to advise him against it.Eventually, their argument turned into a full-blown fight. In the end, Darren roughly shoved Eunice aside and left wi

I didn't think that Darren would bring me to court after falling from grace. His actions served as a huge eye-opener for me.As I listened to Darren's accusations against me in court, I couldn't stop myself from chuckling out loud. Even my lawyer next to me had to stifle his laughter."You promiscuous woman!" Darren shouted while glaring at me. Then, he made his request to the judge. "Since we are legally married, I want half of all her assets!"Wow. Did he really think he owned the court and the judge and jury in it? Why else would he make such a ridiculous demand?The judge also looked fairly speechless at his demand. Still, he managed to compose himself and remain calm. He had also most probably heard of Darren and his infamous doings.Moments later, I calmly made my own request to the judge which was a lot more justifiable than what Darren had just demanded. I also signaled to my lawyer to hand over the documents we had prepared in advance.I smiled politely at the judge and

Meanwhile, both Darren's and Eunice's companies were still trying to defend them. They posted dozens of Tweets to prove them innocent, but it was no use. The online community was thoroughly in over their heads.But of course, there were still a handful of diehard fans who still thought that Darren was the innocent victim all along. Their minds were twisted like the comments they left on the posts."So what if Alyssa's a powerful woman? She still couldn't keep her husband around! Justice for Darren Miles!""I feel sorry for Darren! He must be hurting a lot because of all these malicious comments! That Alyssa is just jealous of his fame and is purposely making life hard for him!""Someone check that bitch's company to see if they're the ones evading tax after all! I believe that Darren would do nothing of the sort. He's a law-abiding citizen! I'm tagging the Central Tax Bureau here!""This is how scary a jealous woman is. Alyssa's just jealous that Eunice is more famous than her!"
