“The terrorist attacks!
A new beginning of love between our favorite couple!”
With mine and Leo’s pictures as a thumbnail, this news was today’s viral post, referring to eo as the most passionate lover. The hashtag #Leolover was the top trending topic for ten days, becoming the most searched topic of the year.
According to the netizens, Leo was a fearless commando, who single–handedly saved me from the dangerous group of wanted criminals.
“FBI, and the other agencies are hunting down the members of this banned organization, but our ice hockey star had faced them alone unarmed, snatching his lover from the jaws
of death.
He is a true lover!”
“Oh, yes! A hero needed to be jabbed with needles and surgeries to survive!”
Scrolling through the newsfeed, I thought bitterly, cursing the person behind this controversy. Whoever started this was a cunning person, only narrating the part where Leo recklessly stood before the stray bullets. The rest was history. There wasn’t a word on the internet about mine and Bright’s relentless efforts to save that war hero.
Seething in anger, I was tapping my foot on the floor when the wave of Bright’s soothing cologne invaded my nostrils, announcing his arrival.
He came back from work early today. “What’s going on, Laura?”
As I was sitting still, unresponsive, Bright asked me casually. The page opened on the laptop screen gave him the answer on my behalf.
“So, you have read all the current trends on social media.”
Bright chuckled and dragged a chair to sit.
“Well, I must say that you are way calmer than I thought. Great!

Chapter 69
You have unlocked the relaxation of not paying attention to what others say.
Hell no!
I might appear nonchalant, but my insides were ablaze in reality, encouraging me to take action. Like, how did he/she dare to ruin my reputation like this? I was finally building my new world with Bright, a warm home for our daughter. My heart dropped to my stomach just to think what Bright thought about this matter.
alming myself, I abandoned my mission to find out the culprit, and focused on my personal life, as no man would like to be in a relationship with a woman who stayed in the headlines with her ex almost every day.
“When did you find out about this, Bright? And why didn’t they tell me earlier?
I would have released an official statement about how we rescued that dying man.
Your painstaking efforts must be in the headlines, not this bullshit.”
Bright’s amused smile in response confused me, he said,
“I didn’t tell you on purpose, Laura. After plenty of disturbances, we were able to live in solitude as a family, even our Jane was so happy.
Then how could I destroy our peace with such a trivial matter?”
As Leo was my past, Bright didn’t mention him, saving me from mental torture. I was really touched by his care; he had wisely spared me from misery.
“From what I know about Leo, he is an attention seeker parasite, feeding on others‘ emotions to move on in his life.
المصرية
This heroic act, social media propaganda, everything is his attempt to stay alive in the public’s heart and news to raise his fame.
If he is a selfish jerk, then why should you suffer, Laura?”
Bright’s expert opinion on my new interaction with Leo was eye–opening for me, hitting my head with a sledgehammer of truth.
