Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 124

After weeks of relentless bullying and cat calling, Bright finally broke his silence and appeared in public to share his thoughts about my relationship dynamics. He was bullied as a home wrecker due to Leo, who asked Zoe to tell me that he missed me, urging me to leave Bright and build a family with him.

This was the end of Bright’s patience, he came out in hockey gear and thundered in fury,

"After living an abusive life, Laura has moved on in her life. Currently, she is dealing with a very sensitive topic of co-parenting with her ex.

Don’t you think it’s too much for a woman who has just found her lost baby?"

He glared at the clueless faces of the disconcerted fans and spoke sternly.

"Life is already hard for Laura. So, be compassionate and let her live. She isn’t a public property like your idol!"

Meanwhile, the security staff cleared the way for us to walk away. It was better to leave than facing that crowd. However, the series of queries kept on bombarding us from everywhere.

"Miss Laura is involved with the two ice hockey stars. Don’t you think she is answerable to the media?"

"Zoe is suffering. Aren’t you ashamed of snatching his mother for him, Mr. Bright?"

We disregarded all the questions and rushed outside, Bright was huffing in anger.

"Leo has crossed all the limits, Laura. He shouldn’t have used Zoe’s illness like this!"

I was intimidated beyond my wits after this encounter, it was the first time I witnessed the true power of fandom. People were habitual of posting all kinds of stuff online against the person they hate. The problem of cyberbullying was undoubtedly depressing as well as heart rendering!

But there was a benefit of such platforms. You could switch off your cell phones and other electronic devices to have some relief. Those sharp tongues couldn’t follow you in your home, saving you from great affliction.

However, the live action that I had faced tonight was uncalled-for. I had never imagined this verbal assault in my wildest nightmares. If it wasn’t for Bright, those fans would have cornered me, perhaps hitting me to get their desired results.

This method of forcing someone to bend them according to your will was utterly horrifying. I was dreading a brand-new version of the media trial now.

Bright wasn’t spared when he stayed silent and disregarded all the outbursts, so there would be thousands of negative comments to destroy his good name after his statement.

S, to avoid any ugly encounter, we changed the venue of our date night and cooked a meal at home. Jane was disheartened by this sudden change in plan.

"We are going to the kids’ play area to enjoy the rides, daddy. I don’t want to spend this evening at home."

Bright had to make plenty of excuses to convince Jane. Then he came up with an interesting baking class to entertain her.

"Have you ever baked cupcakes, Jane? I can teach you to bake your favorite ones with my secret recipe."

In due course, Jane forgot about our date night and excitedly took part in the baking session. She was surprised to see the wonders of the oven. Bright mixed the batter and clicked her photos, calling her a chef.

"Look, audience!

My princess is a famous pastry chef. She will do magic now!"

Then they put the tray in the oven, waiting for the final product. Although they dispersed flour everywhere in the kitchen, I didn’t mind it. Seeing Jane happy with Bright illuminated world.

We were discussing our major issues when Bright’s cell phone vibrated, the notification of his assistant’s message alerted us.

"Mr. Leo has started a livestreaming, Sir. He has something to disclose about you and your fiancé."

Bright instantly logged in to his social media account and clicked on Leo’s live stream. Thousands of viewers were already watching his video. Looking at the camera, Leo spoke solemnly.

"It came to my notice that my fans have assaulted my ex-wife, Laura, aggressively intimidating her for no valid reason.

This must be disturbing for her and her family …"

"Here goes a new plot for publicity!"

Bright groaned in vexation, Leo’s live stream instead of an official announcement was a clear hint that he was up to no good.

Anyway, we watched the video with patience as Leo scolded his fans.

"I am really distressed by your recent attack. Harassing a defenseless woman isn’t a noble deed. How can we call ourselves sportsmen if we don’t respect each other’s opinions?"

Then he requested his fans seriously,

"If you truly love and support me, please don’t disturb Laura in her personal life …"
