Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 74

Natalie already knew Hanley didn’t want her. He wanted Marie. But hearing him declare it so clearly, so publicly, on a live broadcast felt like a fresh, twisting stab to the heart.

The stream of comments intensified.

[Destined lovers torn apart by a third party, only to end up as in-laws. It's like something out of a tragedy, especially with the older brother's death.]

[Wait, this story sounds so familiar. Do you think Marie and Darren are the real-life inspiration for the drama 'Even When We Fall Apart'?]

['Even When We Fall Apart' is a massive hit! I heard the Cross Group financed it, and Marie was the executive producer!]

[Oh my god, she was telling her own story. I'm literally crying right now.]

Natalie’s brow furrowed. When she and Darren had their one-night stand, Marie was already engaged to his older brother.

Victoria was deliberately twisting the timeline, piling all the blame onto her. She was lying. All of it was a lie.

Anger warred with a deep, pathetic sense of despair. Because, she had to admit, it wasn’t all a lie.

So Darren and Marie had been together. But for some reason, Marie had chosen to marry his brother instead.

Suddenly, she remembered that night, the way Darren had whispered a name in the dark: *Mary*. It hadn't been Mary. It had been Marie.

He had married her to spite Marie.

For five long years, she had never understood why he had shown up at her door, proposing marriage when he clearly felt nothing for her. She had always assumed it was for the sake of the child. But now the truth was laid bare. He had used her to hurt the woman he truly loved.

She had been a tool. Nothing more. How utterly laughable that she had spent the last five years trying to get close to him, to win his heart.

Hanley looked directly into the camera. “Auntie, I don't know if you're watching this, but I want to say that you and Daddy are the ones who belong together. I hope you can be together, and I hope everyone will stop misunderstanding you both. Please don’t attack my daddy and my auntie. Thank you.”
