Reborn, I Sent My Ex-Husband and His True Love to Prison novel Chapter 7

I'd fallen for Ethan at first sight.

In a world full of strong, independent women, I was the hopeless romantic. 

I'd chased him for three years, and he'd ignored me the entire time—until Lily left the country.

A month later, he suddenly agreed to date me, and within six months, he proposed. 

I thought my love had finally reached him, that he'd come around.

But no—he was just using me to numb his pain, to distract himself, or maybe to spite Lily. 

He'd splurged on our wedding announcement, plastering it across every major platform for a full month.

Back then, I thought it was romantic.

Now I see it for what it was—a message to Lily, wherever she was. 

Ethan's frantic voice snapped me back to reality. 

"Emily, have you seen what people are saying online?"

"Lily's personal information's been leaked."

"How is she supposed to live like this?" 

I scrolled through the comments. 

Yeah, I knew how vicious they could be.

I remembered every word from my past life, when I was the one being torn apart online.

Those comments had haunted me, filling my nights with their cruelty. 

Back then, I'd begged Lily to clear my name, but Ethan had just shrugged it off. 

"What's the big deal? It's just a few strangers talking trash."

"Can't you handle a little criticism?" 

Now that it was Lily's turn, Ethan was singing a different tune. 

"Hey, have you checked online yet?" 

He kept pressing. 

I answered calmly. 

"Yeah, I saw. So?" 

That set him off. 

"So? Lily's being destroyed online, and Jack's getting dragged too."
