Elena knew that voice even in her sleep, she has dreams of stringing the owner of that voice by the his male parts and dipping him naked into a sea of flesh eating slugs.
“Your co-star is here,” she commented and eyes followed a lanky built man as he walked over and placed Melanie behind him.
“Why are you here, are you stalking us?” he asked.
“One of them is an actor, the other is a writer. Is this your family hospital that other people cannot come?” she asked.
“Adrian, it’s fine, we were just talking,” Melanie said but did not forget to hide behind Donald.
“She said you two are getting engaged. Congratulations,” Elena said and Donald paused.
“Engaged? What are you saying?” he asked.
At this point, Melanie was in complete panic. She could not believed Elena, this bitch would not stop talking.
“Everyone here heard. She announced it happily. Or, was she lying?” Elena asked and Donald glanced at Melanie who looked pale.
Elena did not give her time to recover as she immediately said, “Well, congratulations. But I have told your fiancé to stay away from me. Be sure to have her ears checked.
“Elena!” Donald scolded.
“Don’t raise your voice at me, I don’t have a lot of patience these days,” Elena countered sharply, taking a step towards the two of them.
“We only got sighed our divorce papers a few days ago, and you have gotten engaged. It seems that the person in that video circulating is you, then,” Elena said and the crowd gasped.
They had recognized Donald as Melanie’s boyfriend. She had been seen with him multiple times and even though they had not confirmed their relationship, there were many pictures that supported this truth.
He was married all these time? If they had just signed the divorce papers, doesn’t that mean that the divorce is not yet finalized?
Donald family noticed that he was arguing publicly and wanted to leave with Melanie, but how could Elena let him do that?
When she had wanted to leave, Melanie specifically stopped her to act her solo play.
“I do not know what is giving both of you’re the confidence to walk out in public after why happened,” Elena said.
She proceeded to turn to Melanie, “Your sex tape sleeping with him is already circulating online and you are shamelessly blocking my path to act? I have never seen a mistress as confident as you before,” Elena said and Donald blocked her sight of Melanie instinctively.
“You said you would not…” he started to say.
“Then train her well. I may have said I would not talk about you two, if she provokes me, I will react,” Elena cut him off.
Standing this close to her, Donald could not help but hold his breath. He suddenly noticed that her green eyes were bright when she was angry.
But at this point, Elena was tired of seeing their disgusting faces.
“If you want to act, go to the theater, don’t block my way! I still have things to do,” she said and walked past them before they could block her again and left in crisp steps.
Melanie panicked when she heard what Elena had said, but Elena was long gone by this time.
“What did she mean by sex tape?” Melanie shouted.
She had not gone online for a while, as she trusted that Donald was dealing with everything.
But a sex tape? A sex tape? She had long noticed that people were looking at her oddly, but she was used to people staring and did not think too deeply.
“What does she mean by this?” Melanie quickly grabbed Donald’s arm and shouted.
Donald almost cursed out loud and he dragged her from the room.
Was she stupid? Why was she shouting here?
“Shut up and come!” he ordered as he dragged her away.
He had seen people filming the confrontation and knew it was only a matter of time before it was the topic of the net.
He dragged her into Melanie’s private room and shut the door.
“What is she saying?” Melanie shouted.
“You should be the one explaining yourself,” Donald said, passing her his phone.
Melanie only needed to go online to find out what was happening. When she clicked on the link, she saw a video of herself in bed with someone.
