Gabriella's POV

Two weeks later, Dad was finally discharged from the hospital. We returned from Brightvale to our house in the village.

Once Dad learned the truth, his anger toward me eased. He cursed William loudly, saying he wasn't worthy of being called a man.

But the villagers, who had already heard more than enough rumors, had made up their minds that I was a mistress. No matter how many times I tried to explain, it changed nothing. Every time I stepped outside, people pointed at me and

  • Turns Out I'm the Other Woman   Chapter 10

    Gabriella's POVI chose to settle down in a small town far from Frostmere. The weather was mild all year round, and the scenery was beautiful, making it feel like the perfect place to leave the past behind.I used what little savings I had left to open a flower shop in town. The area drew a steady stream of tourists from a nearby scenic spot, so business was doing quite well.Nobody here knew who I was, and nobody judged me. The neighbors were friendly, and they often stopped by to buy flowers.Those harsh voices were gone. At night, the town fell completely quiet.It was a long time before I came across any news about William again. Alexandra had given birth to a son. For the baby's one-month celebration, they invited every prominent figure in Frostmere.I looked at the photo of the three of them and felt nothing.

Every time I stepped outside, people pointed at me and whispered behind my back.When I opened my social media again, I found that my account had been restored at some point without me knowing. After that, my inbox overflowed every day with endless insults.Clickbait accounts used my story as content, putting out new posts every few days. Plenty of content creators took my old videos and edited them out of context to push their own versions of the story.The labels of "liar" and "homewrecker" were permanently attached to me, with no way to shake

    Gabriella's POVI struggled to push William away, but he held me even tighter."Gaby, I know everything," he said. "I know your dad got sick, and I know Alexandra forced you to leave. I've really missed you these past few days."I shoved him away with all my strength and said coldly, "William, we've already broken up. No one forced me; I chose to leave on my own."William grabbed my hand, pressing it against his chest as his eyes shone with deep affection. "Gaby, I'm sorry. I was wrong to get married without telling you. My marriage to Alexandra is just a business arrangement. You've always been the one I love."Gaby, come back with me. I can give you everything except the title of Mrs. Harrington. You'll never have to worry about money, and I'll get the best medical team to treat your dad."I looked at the desperation in William's eyes and suddenly felt sick. Even after being together for ten years, I had never really seen who he was.He couldn't walk away from Harrington Group

  • Turns Out I'm the Other Woman   Chapter 7

    Gabriella's POVBy the time I rushed to the hospital in Brightvale with my suitcase, Dad had already finished surgery and was out of danger.The moment I walked into the ward, more than a dozen pairs of eyes locked onto me. I had grown used to those mocking gazes during my time in Frostmere."Gaby, what were you thinking? Why couldn't you just find someone to marry instead of becoming a mistress?""Isn't it obvious? Being a rich man's mistress pays well. How else would she come up with 500,000 dollars?""What did our family do to deserve this? How did we end up with someone so shameless? You even drove your dad into the hospital!"I had already gone numb to my relatives' accusations.I looked at Mom. Her hair had turned slightly grayer. She sat at Dad's bedside, her eyes red and swollen. Her voice was hoarse, and her expression was full of resentment. "Gaby, that 500,000 dollars… did it come from…"I could never have pulled out 500,000 dollars at once with my savings, so they n

    Third-Person POVAt the charity gala, William nearly dropped his phone when he received Gabriella's breakup message.He immediately replied, "Gabriella, stop this. We've been together for ten years. You can't just end things like that."The moment he sent the message, it didn't go through—Gabriella had blocked him.In all their years together, no matter how bad their arguments got, the worst they had ever done was ignore calls or texts; they had never blocked each other.William couldn't stay still any longer. He slipped away from the event and ran up to the rooftop to call her. Every attempt came back with the same result—the line was unavailable.When the gala ended, William did something he almost never did—he didn't go home with Alexandra. Instead, he drove straight to Gabriella's place. He rushed up to her unit and pounded on the door, but no one answered.The landlord, unable to stand the noise, opened the door and shouted. "Stop banging on the door! That young woman left

    Gabriella's POVAlexandra arranged for me to issue a public apology on a live broadcast at the TV station.After signing the non-disclosure agreement, I stood in front of more than a dozen cameras and numbly read the script."Hello, everyone. I'm Gabriella Bennett. Regarding the controversy I recently caused online, I would like to sincerely apologize to Ms. Alexandra Rowland and Mr. William Harrington. I fabricated the chat logs just to gain attention. Mr. Harrington and I are nothing more than former classmates."The viewer count spiked, and netizens flooded the comment section with insults, telling me to get out of Frostmere.By the time I came back to my senses, the wave of hatred had already torn through me.After the broadcast ended, Alexandra pulled out several stacks of bills and tossed them onto the floor without a second glance. The green bills drifted down like falling snow."They slipped right out of my hands. Please pick them up yourself," she said."Alexandra, you
