Rose’s nflashed on the screen.
| answered with a sleepy, “Hmm?”
“Olivia!” Rose's voice was shrill. “Get up. Now. Check your
Twitter feed-immediately!”
Olivia's POV
When | opened my feed on Twitter, | didn’t expect to see my
own face staring back at me-—mid-slap.
Well, more accurately, my hand was in motion, Chole was on
her knees, and the sound of that sharp contact echoed through
the poorly edited video. Except Ethan was completely gone
from the frame. Cropped out like he didn’t even exist. As if the
entire airport incident had just beenand Chole-no furious
husband, no security chaos, no aftermath.
The caption read:“Hawthrone Luna stands up to shameless
mistress. #LunaRights #JusticeForWife"”
There were hundreds of retweets, and bizarrely... people were
supporting me.
“What... the hell?” | muttered, scrolling through the comments.
“Finally a Luna who defends herself!”
“Chole deserves it. Homewreckers should stay in the ditch they
cfrom.”
“Olivia Hawthrone is still the rightful Luna.”
| blinked at the screen. Was | still half-asleep?
| called Rose immediately.
“Rose, what is all this?” | asked as soon as she picked up.

“This is why | woke you up early. Even | wanted to know how
this video cacross social media.” She sounded like she had
popcorn in hand.
“When was this uploaded?”
“I don’t know exactly. It’s been making the rounds since 6 AM.
My cousin sent it towith a heart emoji.
“Who could have done this?”
Rose hesitated. “Do you think this was Alexander's doing? Or...
you didn’t post this, did you?”
“Me?” | scoffed. “Rose, | don’t have that kind of editing skill. And
I know for a fact Alexander doesn’t have tto meddle into
this scenario. He already saw enough last night.”

“Wait. What happened last night?”
“Ah! Ethan showed up at my floor, drunk. Alpha Alexander was droppingby my apartment at that tand

ranting sold thing.” | told Rose, a little embarrassed.
“What? Ethan surely is a leech.” Rose said with a disgust. “Actually, | thought it were you who uploaded it.”
“No way! | am not interested in such publicity,” | sighed. “But who the hell could have posted it?”
“No idea. But it's working in your favor!”
After that | hung up the call with Rose. She didn’t know who did

Still unsatisfied, | called Ava. She answered after three rings.
“Olivia, | was just gonna call you,” she asked, hurried. “Are you
okay?”
“Yes, but | didn’t post the video,” | said flatly. “Neither did Rose.
And apparently, not Alexander either.”
“I know. | know you that much.” Ava yawned. “It looked like a
work of a professional. They made it trending everywhere, and
the editing was kind of... convenient.”
“My point exactly.”

“You think Chole did it?”
“I don’t know. | considered Amelia at first, trying to clean
Ethan’s name. But this paints Ethan as absent. If anything, it
builds my public sympathy as the Luna and isolates Chole as the
villain.”
Ava paused. “You really think Chole would post a video of
herself getting slapped just to... gain sympathy?”
“If it ends with her in a hospital bed, maybe. You know how she
plays the victim. The more pathetic she looks, the more she
clings to Ethan.”
“She's insane if she did,” Ava muttered. “Like, genuinely needs
help!”
“No disagreement here.”
There was a brief silence before | added, “By the way, Ethan
bought an apartment in my building. Two floors above.”*
“What?”
“Yeah. | found out last night. Then

you and pulling drunken tantrums? Has he lost it?”
“Looks like it.”
Ava exhaled slowly, as if trying to keep her own temper in
check. “Olivia, what does he even want anymore? What are his
true intentions?”
Author's POV
Ethan was in the backseat of his car when the call came
through from Windsor House. The voice on the other end was
frantic-one of the maids, breathless and on the verge of
sobbing.
“Alpha Ethan, it's Chole... she-sbe,

wrists-there’s blood everywhere. She has been sent to the
hospital already. Please cimmediately!”
For a moment, Ethan couldn’t move. He sat there in stunned
silence, the phone trembling against his cheek.
Chole?
The words barely registered.
He ended the call and checked his phone, which had several
messages from his Beta to check the Twitter feed.
The video was still everywhere. Olivia slapping Chole. The
caption spinning it as a tic, justified defense by a cheated
wife. The comments vilifying Chole as a mistress, a snake, a
homewrecker who got what she deserved. And nowhere-
absolutely nowhere was Ethan mentioned.
