Chapter 5
“Where is this place? It doesn’t look like a real hospital.”
“Why does Ethan seem kind of creepy?” The comments began flooding in.
1/1
The tiny camera hidden in the button of my hospital gown was streaming everything live. I had, of course, blocked every account linked to Ethan and Sabrina.
He had no idea the entire country was watching his every move. The attention he had milked for sympathy was about to turn on him.
“Where’s Sabrina? Bring her out, too,” I said.
A comment read, “Alexis must really be losing it. Didn’t Ethan say his first love was dying? She’s probably in the ICU.”
But a moment later, Sabrina stepped out from behind the door. Her stomach was flat, and her complexion was bright. Not a trace of the life–threatening injuries Ethan had sobbed about.
“Wait a minute. Wasn’t she supposedly dying just minutes ago?”
Ethan crouched beside me and gently took my hand, saying, “Alex, why are you being so difficult? Don’t worry. Once the doctor better. Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay by your side.”
“Ahhh, so gentle!”
“If Ethan lied, I’m sure he had a reason. With a face like that, I’d forgive him for anything.”
My heart froze up upon hearing that. A man in a white coat came in carrying a metal case.
“Hold on, I’ve seen this doctor before. He’s not from the psych ward, he’s OB–GYN.”
“Yeah. I think that’s equipment for abortion.”

However, the defenders in chat pushed back immediately, saying, “Quit talking nonsense, stop dragging Ethan through the mud. Spread lies and may your whole family choke on them.”
The livestream chat turned into a war zone. Inside the room, it was disturbingly quiet.
Ethan seemed surprised that I wasn’t yelling or demanding answers. He raised a brow and said, “You’re not cursing me out. Not even questioning what I’m doing.”
I gave him a cold snort in response. “What’s there to question? You two–there’s nothing you wouldn’t do.”
His expression faltered. Sabrina snapped and slapped me hard across the face.
“Bitch! I’ve humbled myself for too long, yet you don’t feel even a shred of guilt?
“You dare sneak off to clubs for male models and even advertise for a new husband? Today, I’ll show you what it means to be a decent, loyal woman.”
On the other side, Ethan stepped forward and drove his fist into my abdomen. Every time I see your face, I think of my dead child. If it weren’t for you, my baby would still be alive!”
The stitches from just days before tore open again. Pain ripped through me so sharply I grabbed the bedsheet, struggling to breathe.
“What the hell? This doesn’t seem right.”
“Wasn’t this supposed to be some epic love story? Why are they hitting her?”
Some viewers began to question what they were seeing. Others doubled down.
“She deserves it after everything she’s done.”
Sabrina grabbed my chin and twisted it hard, forcing me to look at her. “Was this the face you used to dance and lure men? I’ll carve it up right now. Then, I’ll blind you so those slutty eyes never seduce anyone again.”
She raised the scalpel. It sliced through the air so fast I could hear it whistle. I could only watch as the tip of the blade came down toward my eyes.
