From Divorce To Dominance novel Chapter 3

hapter 3 The Show Off

Lynn meant business. She was dangling a 30 thousand dollar-a-day carrot to hire a boyfriend for her prized daughter.

News of this windfall spread like wildfire, and hordes of good-looking guys came running. After a gauntlet of interviews, only the cream of the crop remained, each more charming than the last.

Ever since Natalie started bouncing back, she had a new handsome companion every day. Her messy divorce was a distant memory for her.

These guys were friendly, fun, and taught her all kinds of cool stuff. It dawned on her that while she was fixated on Darren, the world had zipped right by.

For three years, she had Darren on the brain, with no room for new trends. She was clueless about the latest viral videos, no wonder Darren thought she was stuck in the past.

She thought the viral videos rocked. Natalie quickly got the hang of racking up followers and snagged five million fans in a snap. She named her channel “Queen Natalie,” where she shared the nitty-gritty of her daily grind.

Her first post showcased their family’s farm, so vast it blew everyone away and went viral on the double.

Riding that wave, she posted clips of her boyfriends lending a hand at the dairy, pig, and fish farms, smashing interaction records.

The comments flooded in.

[Jesus, I just saw a real-life rich kid!]

[People have no shame! Parading on someone else’s farm to flaunt cash? Seriously?!]

[How’d this chick get so many hot guys in her videos?!]

Spotting the last comment, Natalie replied right back, [Because we’re rolling in dough.] Little did she know her retort would be the talk of the town by morning.

She expected that she would go viral on the internet. But being famous for just being rich was new.

The online world, though, had other ideas and exploded in outrage.

[She’s faking the rich life! Real rich folks keep a low profile; posers are the ones showing off!]

[Right on! When I see this kind of bragging, I just report!]

[If those farms are really hers, why no face time? Scared the real owners will expose her?]

[She’s probably butt ugly!]

[She’s defo ugly! Bets are she’s some old, fat lady!]

Natalie didn’t flinch at the hate, but Lynn was having none of it.

Lynn wouldn’t stand that they called her gorgeous daughter ugly. So, she logged into Natalie’s account and fired back, replying, [Sorry, but I’m a total hottie.]

In five ticks of the clock, that comeback was screen-capped and shared a zillion times, sparking a comment tsunami.

[You think you’re hot? Prove it! No one believes you just by typing!]
