Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1536

Blossom had been holding it in for days, and she was bursting with complaints! Once she started ranting, she couldn't stop, going on for a solid half-hour. Keaton Huber's new girlfriend was named Shifra—the same one who'd asked Winona for a hundred-something autographs at Tarquin's birthday party. She was still a student at a dance academy. She used to be a nobody, but now, thanks to Keaton, she had millions of followers. Actually, scratch that. It wasn't thanks to Keaton; it was thanks to Winona! After all, even though Keaton was showering her with affection now, everyone knew how fast he went through girlfriends. One minute you’re his queen, the next you’re history. He’ll treat a girlfriend like royalty, but once you’re an ex, you’re invisible to him. Shifra was just one of Keaton's many girlfriends, not the only one, so he couldn't have brought her that many followers on his own. The majority of her millions of fans were all thanks to Winona. After Tarquin's birthday, Shifra had loudly posted a photo of herself with Winona online, along with those hundred-plus autographs. She claimed she and Winona were super close, like sisters. The next day, she dragged Keaton over to Winona's house for a visit. She went again the third day, even enthusiastically offering to cook for Winona. Every time she was near Winona, she'd post about it to show off. Winona knew Shifra was just leeching off her fame, but for Keaton's sake, she swallowed her annoyance and didn't make a big deal out of it. She'd even bent over backward for her; when Shifra's friend had a birthday party the other day, Shifra begged her to come and sing a song to liven things up, and Winona actually went. Of course, she was doing it as a favor to Keaton, but Shifra was the one who benefited. On the day of her friend's birthday, Shifra gained hundreds of thousands of followers! People figured if the huge star Winona Newsom was showing up for her friend's birthday, she must have some serious connections beyond just being Keaton's current girlfriend. Curiosity led to follows. For the next few days, whenever Shifra went live, she would casually drop hints about Winona's private life. Winona thought she was just trying to ride her coattails for a bit of fame and didn't mind. But she never expected Shifra to take it this far! Today, during a live stream, she started openly discussing Winona and Zane Livingston. Under the guise of sticking up for Winona, she started spouting complete nonsense! She said Winona was so pitiful, that she was hopelessly in love with Zane—she loved him then, and she still loved him now. And because she loved him so much, Winona couldn't move on and had decided to never get married. She even said Winona was still living in the house she had shared with Zane. She claimed Winona couldn't bear to move out because she cherished the memories of their time together. The internet exploded. What happened to her boss-girl image? She sounds like some pathetic, boy-crazy teenager. The guy almost got her killed, and she's still in love with him? Is she crazy? Besides, Zane was a fugitive. Her being in love with a fugitive... that was... Winona's fans panicked and flooded her social media comments. [Ms. Newsom, is what that bitch Shifra said true?] [Ms. Newsom, it's not like you can't afford a new house. Why are you still living in the one you shared with Zane?] [Ms. Newsom, Zane nearly destroyed your family! Are you really still in love with him?] [Ms. Newsom, that monster doesn't deserve your love!] [Ms. Newsom, just come out and make a statement! If you just say that bitch Shifra is trying to frame you, we'll go tear her apart!] While the fans were in a frenzy, the trolls jumped at the chance to attack: [Make a statement? Go look at Shifra's posts from a few days ago. The background is clearly the house Winona and Zane lived in! People have already posted side-by-side comparisons. It's solid proof!] [To put it nicely, she's love-obsessed. To put it bluntly, she's pathetic!] [Winona must have a victim complex. She deserves to be mistreated by scumbags! She should just tie herself to Zane and let him abuse her every day!]
