“Last night’s pool incident! That psycho Valeria tried to play victim, claiming you pushed her, but the security footage just went mega–viral It’s trending on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram–everywhere! Everyone can see she’s the one who dragged you in! The internet is absolutely destroying her right now!”
Lorraine blinked in surprise. The footage had surfaced and gone viral that quirky?
She was genuinely caught off guard by the speed
Though considering how absolutely toxic Jasper and Valeria were, they deserved each other and this public humiliation
“Ana, this has to be your husband’s doing, right? Who else has that kind of power to make something trend across every platform?“]
Tamia was convinced only someone with Cassian Rhodes influence could orchestrate this level of viral exposure
The thought of suck
powerful man going to war for his wife was incredibly romantic
Lorraine remembered Cassian instructing Phillips last night, warmth flooding her chest
“Yeah, definitely him,” she admitted softly, unable to suppress her smile.
“Holy shit! Cassian is absolutely perfect! A protective husband who can destroy your enemies with a phone call? Ana, you’re literally living every woman’s fantasy!”
Hearing her best friend’s enthusiasm made Lorraine’s heart flutter unexpectedly.
She thought about Cassian’s Intimidating exterior hiding such protective instincts, and something melted inside her.
Their marriage might have started as pure convenience, but his fierce protection made her feel safer than she ever had.]
“You’re being dramatic,” Lorraine protested weakly, though her voice was obviously happy.
“I’m not being dramatic Cassian treats you like his precious queen–you better never let that man go!”
“But seriously, Valeria totally got what she deserved. The comments are absolutely savage. Let’s see if she ever tries to fuck with you again
Lorraine’s expression turned ice–cold thinking about her manipulative stepsister.]
Valeria absolutely deserved every bit of this public dragging
After hanging up, Lorraine opened Twitter to find multiple trending hashtags: #Valeria Exposed #SecurityFootage Rewals #Stepsister Drama
Toxic Behavior
The footage was everywhere–Twitter, TikTak, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. Every major platform was hosting the evidence.
The comments were absolutely brutal
This girl is straight up psychotic” “The gaslighting is INSANE” “How do you play wetim after literally dragging someone into water???” “Rich girls really think they can lie their way out of anything“]
Reading the savage reactions was incredibly satisfying
Her phone rang again, and her face lit up seeing Cassian’s name.
“Hey,” she answered, her voice automatically turning soft and warm.
“Seen the trending topics? His voice was calm but she could hear underlying satisfaction
“Teah, it’s everywhere Twitter, TukTok, Instagram–the whole internet is dragging her. Thank you”
There was a brief pause before he replied quietly, “Don’t thank me. This is what I do for what’s mine.”
The possessive way he said “mine” sent shivers down her spine.
Lorraine gripped her phone tighter, warmth spreading through her entire body.
Cassian wasn’t much of a taller, but his actions spoke volumes about how fiercely he protected the people he cared about
Maybe this marriage wouldn’t be as complicated as she’d initially feared
“Pick you up after work. There’s this new place in Sotto I want to try with you.
“Can’t wait.”
After hanging up, Lorraine felt genuinely giddy about their dinner plans.
Meanwhile, in Jasper’s office, Valeria was having a complete nuclear meltdown.
Her hands shook as she scrolled through endless social media posts destroying her reputation.]
The security footage was crystal clear undeniable proof of her manipulation and lies
Seking Jasper’s confused and disappointed expression made her way to throw her phone across the room.
Fuck! Who had leaked that security footage and made it go viral across every platform?]
She’d never imagined last night’s incident had been captured so clearly, much less that it would explode across social media and become a global trending topic
Jasper, let me explain.. her voice trembled as she desperately tried to salvage the situation
“Valeria, what the hell were you thinking? Why would you do something like that?” Jasper looked genuinely confused, realizing how foolish his defense of her had been
Valeria opened and closed her mouth like a dying fish, unable to find any believable explanation
The security footage clearly showed her grabbing Lorraine and yanking them both into the pool.]
“I… I was just… I was so angry because Ana always acts so fucking superior, and 1 just… snapped for a second…”
Jasper rubbed his temples. “Don’t pull psychotic stunts like that again. You’re supposed to be the one I’m choosing.”
Valeria immediately clung to him. “I know, baby I promise I won’t
Jasper immediately called his PR contacts to get the trending topics suppressed, but strangely, every platform insisted the content had to stay up for the full viral cycle.
By then, practically everyone with internet access would have seen it.
Valeria was absolutely seething with rage
The scandal was also sending shockwaves through the Omelas family
This was a complete PR disaster for their social standing.]
When Sharpson saw the viral footage, his blood pressure spiked dangerously
He immediately called both daughters, demanding they come to the family mansion immediately
When Lorraine saw her father’s name on her phone, she was genuinely surprised]
Her expression turned aretic, but curiosity made her answer.
Hearing Sharpson demand she come home immediately made her laugh coldly.
Home? That place had stopped being her home the day he chose his mistress and her daughter over his own family
But she could guess exactly why he was calling.
Lorraine was curious to see just how shamelessly hypocritical they could be.
After work, she called Cassian to apologetically explain she needed to handle some family drama
“Be careful,” he said immediately. “Call me if you need backup”
Cassian had researched the Omelas family dynamics thoroughly and knew exactly how they’d treated Lorraine over the years
But she was his wife now. Anyone who hurt her would answer to him.
After hanging up, Lorraine took an Uber to the Omelas estate in the Hamptons
She knew she was walking into a snake pit, but she wasn’t the same person who used to let them steamroll her.
Time to show them exactly who they were dealing with now
