When the Act Ended, So Did the Marriage Chapter 9
The online backlash was getting uglier by the day. Some clueless people attacked me for being Chapman Pharmaceutical's former vice president, and before long, the criticism turned into full-blown personal attacks.I never wanted anything to do with Chapman Pharmaceuticals, but now that it was bleeding into my everyday life, I wasn't about to sit back and take it.I was determined to set the record straight, so I called for a press conference. Standing in front of a sea of cameras, I made it clear I had parted ways with Chapman Pharmaceuticals a long time ago.I firmly stated I had nothing to do with the drug's experimental process and urged the media to stop the harassment once and for all.The press conference was in full swing when Natasha suddenly charged onto the stage, screaming at me in front of everyone."Rhea, you're unbelievable! The second the company's in trouble, you bail. Meanwhile, Gavin's the one facing fines and prison time! You always said you loved him, but the m

News of Chapman Pharmaceuticals' defective drugs spread like wildfire.Inspections by the authorities revealed that the company's latest batch of products was completely counterfeit and dangerously substandard, prompting an immediate shutdown.But the fallout didn't stop there. After three days of police interrogation, Gavin was released, only to find himself face-to-face with furious relatives of the victims demanding compensation.Some even pried open Gavin's front door, stormed inside, smashed everything in sight, and swore they'd make him pay with his life.Now drowning in debt and hunted by grieving families, Gavin lived each day under the shadow of death.…Not long after leaving Chapman Pharmaceuticals, I got an offer from a well-known overseas pharmaceutical company, complete with promises of state-of-the-art lab equipment. It was the same major firm I had spent three months preparing to join after graduation. I had passed the interview, only to turn them down so that I c

Gavin's smile faltered."Come on, I was joking," he said quickly. "You're really going to take it that seriously? I'll make Natasha apologize. Then, we can just move on."Natasha shot back instantly, "Why should I apologize? No way."His voice dropped, laced with warning. "Don't forget who's paying your bills. If the company goes under, that little villa of yours out in the suburbs goes with it."With money hanging over her head, Natasha muttered reluctantly, "Fine. I'm sorry. Hurry up and give Gav's statement to the authorities. I've got a hair appointment after this wedding shoot."Gavin had been incredibly generous with her. He even bought her a damn villa.I still remembered how, right after we graduated, our landlord kicked us out for missing the rent. I had a fever and suggested we crash at a hotel for the night, using my own money. But he snapped at me for being "wasteful"."Your money is my money. And you want to blow it on a hotel? Since when did you become so materiali

Gavin froze for a second. "No, this can't be right. There must be some misunderstanding."But the line went dead before he could say another word.He knew nothing about pharmaceutical experiments. Every single drug under development at Chapman Pharmaceuticals, big or small, had been under my control. Now, with the crisis crashing down around him, Gavin wheeled on Natasha. "What's going on? Weren't you supposed to be on top of this?"Natasha still didn't grasp the gravity of the situation. She just shrugged, completely unfazed."How could they do this to us? That research was all my work. But whatever, we'll just pay the fine and move on."Gavin's face flushed with anger. "You seriously don't get it, do you? This isn't just about a fine. The company could be shut down. We could end up in prison!"Natasha still didn't get it. She mumbled, almost to herself, "It's not a big deal. The original ingredients were too expensive, so I just used cheaper ones. I saved the company a ton of m

The past few days had been blissfully carefree—just good food, plenty of drinks, and traveling with my closest friends.On the seventh day after leaving Chapman Pharmaceuticals, I headed to the beach, hoping to unwind and clear my head. But as I strolled along the shore, I spotted two painfully familiar figures up ahead.Natasha, in a pristine white wedding gown, clung to Gavin as they posed for a series of romantic wedding shots.I scowled. Of all the people to run into on my one perfect getaway, it had to be them.Just as I turned to walk away, I heard Natasha calling out behind me, "Hey, you! Perfect timing. Come hold my gown for me."I kept walking, pretending I didn't hear a thing."I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" she shouted, louder this time.I turned around.Natasha gasped, all fake surprise. "Oh my God. Rhea? Seriously? Don't tell me you're here to crash the wedding? I get it, you're obsessed with Gav, but do you really have to ruin our big day?"Gavin stepped in f

Gavin and I wrapped up the divorce quickly, but the moment I returned home, a cold jolt shot through me.Where our wedding photo used to sit, proud and centered in the living room, there was now a photo of Gavin and Natasha. In it, they were all over each other like they'd been together forever.Even the bedroom wasn't mine anymore. Her stuff was everywhere, spilling across every surface, while my clothes and makeup had been tossed into a corner like they didn't matter.Natasha leaned against the doorframe, her voice thick with venom. "Rhea, you and Gavin are divorced. This isn't your home anymore, so pack your crap and get out."Gavin backed her up. "She's right. You don't belong here anymore. This is my house now—mine and my wife's."He was kicking me out so that Natasha could step in and take my place as his lawful wife.I gave a nod. "Fine. I'll go."I pulled out my suitcase and started folding my clothes, one piece at a time.Gavin clearly hadn't expected me to leave. Pani

Gavin, Natasha, and I headed to the courthouse to finalize the divorce.We had barely reached the steps when Gavin suddenly froze. Then, right on cue, he grabbed his head like he'd been hit with some dramatic wave of memory. He staggered a little, then lurched toward me."This place… It feels so f

Natasha's high heels came crashing down on my lab documentation. She jabbed a finger in my face, hurling insults like I was the one who wrecked their marriage."You shameless woman, Rhea! Gavin is my husband! What gives you the right to even talk to him?"And Gavin? He just stood there, silent and
When the Act Ended, So Did the Marriage Chapter 1
Three years into our marriage, Gavin brought his mistress home. He claimed he had lost his memory, then flaunted their affair right in front of me. And once he had taken credit for all my research findings, he kicked me out of Chapman Pharmaceuticals.While I was packing up my things in the office,
