He’s probably off somewhere with Sarah right now.

Because those two arealwaystogether.

Not like marriage ever got in the way.

Because why would it? Why am I any match for a pretty woman at my husband’s job? Ex-husband, rather.

I just wish I could wake up from this very bad dream.

It was nice of Lincoln to bail me out. But like he said, it was the least that he could do.

The following weeks are crazy. Of course everything got blown out of proportion, because how could it not? It’s my own fault.

I made a scene.

And, not like it’s a surprise, but the homewrecker went on record, claiming that she was attacked.

Claiming that I was the angry ex-wife who was jealous of her.

And then came the hate comments, aimed straight towards me.

People who don’t even know me.

Who don’t even know the full story.

Thinking they have the information they need just based off of one person they don’t even know.

I hate the internet.

Every single one of those assholes is fake.

Imaginetheyend up in that situation, and they’re so quick to play victim.

But when it’s someone they don’t even know, it’s like all their humanity goes out the door.

My father called me, wondering if I was okay, having seen the blurbs on the news.

When I saw my picture up there, it was horrible.

There’s nothing more violating than the news station taking a photo of you from your social media, which is private, but because someone follows you and has it, they put it out there publicly for everyone to see.

Because I am Lincoln’s ex-wife.

All the spotlight that was on him, because of what he was able to achieve at Helion, and of course, on his brimming romance with Sarah, according to the internet… now they need an evil stepmother or an antagonist.

And that’s where I come in.

It’s very painful because nobody knows the true story of what happened.

Lincoln isn’t saying anything about it.

And he probably can’t. Because how’s he going to look to the company if he comes out with that kind of scandal?

He’d probably get fired, and it would look really bad on them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they already knew about what happened between him and Sarah, but told him to keep his mouth shut for the sake of public perception.

So the scapegoat has to be me.
