Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 925

The shocking revelation was that Fulbright, far from being the single, romance-free man he claimed to be, had a secret past. Before his career took off, he had a girlfriend he kept hidden. She was a woman with a tragic background, an orphan with no family to speak of. Yet this lonely woman was the one Fulbright callously abandoned.

To secure his first major role, Fulbright committed an unspeakable act: he gave his seven-months-pregnant girlfriend to a director with a depraved fetish for pregnant women. The director's perverse games were extreme, resulting in the deaths of both the girlfriend and her unborn child.

Because Fulbright refused to press charges in order to protect his career, and because his girlfriend had no one to advocate for her, the entire incident was swept under the rug. Neither man faced any consequences.

When this story broke online, it created an immediate firestorm. Netizens were consumed with rage and disgust at Fulbright’s actions, and his public image crumbled overnight.

[Damn, so Fulbright did something that monstrous and still managed to become a star, building this whole ‘perfect leading man’ image? It’s sickening.]

[I can’t believe I used to be a fan! I feel so disgusted just thinking about it now!]

[Holy crap! You really can’t trust anyone’s online persona! I thought Wynn was the ultimate scumbag, but it turns out the scandal-free Fulbright is the real monster!]

[This is pure evil! He caused the deaths of his pregnant girlfriend and their baby! A bastard like him should pay with his life!]

[Exactly! Isn’t this basically manslaughter? He should be arrested!]

Fulbright’s career was instantly incinerated. Coincidentally, the director involved was the same one Rigby had assaulted on set. With the story out, the director was set to face legal repercussions, and Fulbright was charged as an accomplice.

Two days later, Livia Tyson secured all of Damon Tyson’s shares in the company and, as promised, handed them over to Larissa, who accepted them without hesitation. So Starlight Media had taken another major step forward. True to her word, Larissa also paid out the hefty bonuses she had promised her employees, making sure everyone received their money before the holidays.

…

[Come see me at the prison tomorrow. I’ll give you the list of powerful people who attended the secret party.]

There was no name on the letter or the envelope. Sapphira turned the paper over and over. “Larissa, do you know who wrote this? What does it mean?”

“It’s from Lucius,” Larissa said flatly.

The name sent a jolt of anxiety through Sapphira.
