Chapter 111

[Vivienne]I’m pacing the room like crazy, having no idea what else to do. It’s as if my brain is on fire, and my feet need to keep moving. If not, I’ll go crazy for real. I shake my head.“Who would do such a thing? This… disgusting… act of… what? Ridiculing me? Hurting me? Demeaning me? What’s the motive here?”“Well, with the kind of comments coming in, it’s obvious whatever the motive was, they’ve certainly achieved it. And I can’t believe this post already has more than a million views and has been shared by another million. This is ridiculous.” She glares at the screen, still scrolling through social media to keep me updated.I turn to face her, anxious. “Are the comments still coming?”“Yes,” she sighs, running a hand through her hair. “And they’re getting worse. I’m so sorry, Viv. You don’t deserve this.”I know I don’t. In fact, no one deserves this. But that’s the question I need to answer: who would do such a thing? I have to find out the truth and put an end to this madnes

Chapter 112

[Vivienne]A few hours later, all the social media platforms have calmed down.Rosita and I try to reload the pages of the posts, but they all seem to have been taken down.“Oh, my God, they did it,” Rosita and I say simultaneously, looking at each other.We’ve shifted from her office to her nap room since neither of us had the strength to deal with this while standing anymore. She sits up instantly, her energy back to normal.“This is crazy. How long has it been? Two hours at most?” She checks the time, and I can’t help my own curiosity.“I don’t know, but I’m just glad it’s over,” I sigh, forcing myself not to look at my phone. I really don’t want to see that post again while scrolling. I have to admit, I’m equally enraged and scared because of this stupid scandal.“Same,” she says, her shoulders also drooping with relief. “You should call Elijah and ask him how he did it.”“I really should, shouldn’t I?” I nod, realizing Harvey and Elijah deserve more than just a thank you. Maybe I’

Chapter 113

[Vivienne]I end the call and look back at Rosita.“What the hell is going on?” she asks, and I feel like she’s reading my exact thoughts. “Who took down the posts then?”“I have no idea,” I say, shaking my head, unable to solve this mystery that’s already giving me a headache. “It’s weird, though. My brother and Elijah could’ve made it go away, but they didn’t. They were too late. Someone else got to it first. But why? And who would go to such lengths to help me? It makes no sense.”“Well,” she shrugs, “the good thing is those stupid pictures are down, so I guess there’s nothing to worry about?”“I know, but still. Who would do that?”“Maybe someone realized they were fake and stopped it before it got too out of hand. I mean, there are still good people in the world, right? Not all of us are villains.”I wish I could believe that. But it’s too hard to accept that some stranger did this for me. It feels too far-fetched. “No. I think someone I know did this. And I want to know who that

Chapter 114

[Vivienne]When I get home, I check my emails and find Lola’s right in the middle of all the others I still need to read. She must have sent me the list of customers who are returning the pieces they bought, claiming they were sold fakes.What a ridiculous scheme. Did they really think we wouldn’t suspect a thing?I shake my head and head to my room. I put my phone on the charger and grab something to eat before finally heading into the bathroom, planning for a quick shower. Although that might take me some time—I really need to get into that tub right now. All the stress from today has seeped into my bones, and I need to relax.I strip off my clothes and sink into the warm water, letting the heat wrap around me like a cocoon. It feels like the first real moment of peace I’ve had all day, and it feels great to have this moment to myself.I lean my head back against the edge of the tub, closing my eyes for a moment.Too bad, my mind keeps racing back to that mystery person.Who the hel

Chapter 115

[Vivienne]I blink a few times, trying to wrap my head around the scene before me.“Anna?”She’s sitting right there, slumped on the floor, her entire body shaking, loud sobs racking through her.I look around, trying to understand what the hell just happened. My gaze lands on the old man, now unconscious on the floor, and I realize how quickly everything unfolded.Somehow, I push myself off the floor and race to my bedroom for my phone. I call the guards and tell them everything. After they assure me they’ll be at my place as soon as possible, only then do I rush back out, only to find Anna now trying to pick the old man up. His lifeless hand slumps around her neck as she struggles to lift him, but she fails miserably against the man’s enormous size.She keeps stumbling but doesn’t give up, not even once.I have no choice but to help her. Despite my reluctance to be anywhere near him, I offer support from the other side, and together we manage to toss him onto the nearest couch.He l

Chapter 116

[Vivienne]My head throbs, trying to process everything Anna just told me.I don’t think I can handle any more shocks or surprises. I just want to sit down, close my eyes, and stop thinking about the disaster this day has become.But I can’t. Not yet. Not when Anna is still here, crying, with that unconscious man snoring on my couch.Thankfully, the guards arrive just then with the building caretaker, Mr. Johnson, a lithe man with a half-bald head and sleepy eyes.“We’re here, Ms. Sinclair. I personally want to apologize for the oversight by the guards, who clearly didn’t do their job.”“Hey, we did our job just fine,” one of the guards rolls his eyes, clearly not agreeing. “He had the pass. That’s why we let him through.”The other guard checks the old man’s pockets and grunts when he finds something. “Here it is,” he says, turning around to show the pass. “See? Not our mistake. The guy had the pass, like Max said.”I glance over my shoulder and see Anna looking terrified. She meets

Chapter 117

[Vivienne]My eyes hurt like hell, but I keep them open, not wanting to fall asleep in front of the police officer.“So, let me get this clear,” the man says, not looking even remotely interested. “You’re here to report a missing person—someone I’ve already told you isn’t worth reporting?” he looks at Anna, frowning. “Listen. I get that you’re worried, but this is just a waste of time. I know your neighborhood like the back of my hand. No boy ever goes missing there. They just leave home because they don’t give a crap anymore.”“You’re wrong,” Anna’s voice cracks as she fights to hold back the tears. “Javier isn’t like that. He’s a good boy. He keeps his head down, never causes trouble.”“Well, that’s what every family thinks,” the officer grunts, shifting his bulging belly, which is spilling out from between the gaping buttons of his shirt. “That their kid’s the best. That they do nothing wrong. Then, boom—they’re thieves, or worse. Stealing, messing around for kicks.”“How can you s

Chapter 118

[Vivienne]“What the hell just happened?”Anna says, once we leave the police station and wait for Marcus to bring out the car.I chuckle. This girl is so damn innocent and adorable. I can’t believe she has been going through so much for so long and I didn’t even have a clue.I stuff my hands into the pockets of my jacket. “Someone got a good smack in the back, that’s what happened.”She nods, as if she understands, but the confused look stuck on her face tells me she doesn’t get it all.“Who was on the phone, though? Was it someone powerful? Wait,” her eyes widen. “Was it the president? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. I know Mr. Richardson has played golf with him a few times. There are pictures in his office. I even asked once about it and he confirmed that they were real.”I shake my head, still smiling. “No, Anna. It was not the president of the U.S. Though it surely helped to speed up the process.”She smiles, her cheeks growing red. “Sorry. I don’t know how any of this works.

Chapter 119

[Vivienne]The next day, when I wake up, I wake up with a good feeling.I don’t know how to explain it, I just do. Even after one hell of a day yesterday—from going viral to almost being physically hurt—it all feels distant, like it happened eons ago, and therefore, doesn’t matter anymore.I shake myself out of my thoughts and get out of bed.An hour later, I’m ready to leave, planning to have breakfast at a nearby café. I grab my purse, lock the apartment, and take the elevator as soon as it arrives.It’s a five-minute walk, so I don’t bother calling Marcus. I take a slow stroll through the market, enjoying the morning rush. When I enter the café, the fragrance of freshly brewed coffee hits me in a way that makes my whole body vibrate.I smile to myself and slide into one of the empty booths. I’ll be having breakfast alone, but that’s fine. I need this calm and quiet after everything that’s been going on. I deserve some me-time.I grab a menu and skim through it, though I already kno

Chapter 120

[Vivienne]I stare at him for a long moment, unable to decide if it’s a joke or if he’s being serious.Although considering my luck these past few days, I don’t have the slightest doubt that when it comes to me, things can go from good to worse faster than the speed of light.I try not to laugh at my fate. “And why exactly do you think my life’s in danger? Is it because of my recent fifteen minutes of fame, or am I just that irresistible?”I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but I can’t help it. My life seriously feels like a joke right now. The more I try to take control, the more out of control it gets.He tilts his head slightly. “By fifteen minutes of fame, are you referring to…?”It would be a miracle if he hadn’t seen those fake pictures. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”He nods, lips pressed together. “I suppose I misjudged what would be appropriate to bring up around you. My mistake. Please, accept my sincere apologies.”“Are you for real?” I let out a dry laugh.“Well, I
