Chapter 81
“Hero or Hoax? The Aerospace Engineer Who Took on Terrorists for Love!”
Felix’s face dominated the thumbnail, a confident smirk beneath the bold, flashing headlines.
And beside him–me. My breath caught in my throat as I read the absurdity plastered across the screen.
#Felixlover was trending at number one.
For ten days straight. According to the internet, Felix was a fearless commando, dodging bullets and saving his ‘beloved‘ from the jaws of death.
The FBI is still searching for members of this terrorist organization, but our aerospace engineer–unarmed–stood against them alone, snatching his lover from the brink of doom. He is the epitome of true love! Bullshit.
“FBI, and the other agencies are hunting down the members of this banned organization, but our aerospace engineer had faced them alone unarmed, snatching his lover from the jaws of death.
He is a true lover!”
“Oh, yes! A hero needed to be jabbed with needles and surgeries to survive!”
Scrolling through the newsfeed, I thought bitterly, cursing the person behind this controversy.
Whoever started this was a cunning person, only narrating the part where Felix recklessly stood before the stray bullets.
The rest was history.
There wasn’t a word on the internet about mine and Bright’s relentless efforts to save that war hero.
Seething in anger, I was tapping my foot on the floor when the wave of Bright’s soothing cologne invaded my nostrils, announcing his arrival.
He came back from work early today, “What’s going on, Drielle?”
As I was sitting still, unresponsive, Bright asked me casually.
The page opened on the laptop screen gave him the answer on my behalf.
“So, you have read all the current trends on social media.”
Bright chuckled and dragged a chair to sit.
“Well, I must say that you are way calmer than I thought. Great!
You have unlocked the relaxation of not paying attention to what others say.”

Hell no!
I might appear nonchalant, but my insides were ablaze in reality, encouraging me to take action.
Like, how did he/she dare to ruin my reputation like this?
I was finally building my new world with Bright, a warm home for our daughter.
My heart dropped to my stomach just to think what Bright thought about this matter.
Calming myself, I abandoned my mission to find out the culprit, and focused on my personal life, as no man would like to be in a relationship with a woman who stayed in the headlines with her ex almost every day.
“When did you find out about this, Bright? And why didn’t they tell me earlier?
I would have released an official statement about how we rescued that dying man.
Your painstaking efforts must be in the headlines, not this bullshit.”
Bright’s amused smile in response confused me, he said,
“I didn’t tell you on purpose, Drielle. After plenty of disturbances, we were able to live in solitude as a family, even our Jane was so happy.
Then how could I destroy our peace with such a trivial matter?”
As Felix was my past, Bright didn’t mention him, saving me from mental torture. I was really touched by his care; he had wisely spared me from misery.
“From what I know about Felix, he is an attention seeker parasite, feeding on others‘ emotions to move on in his life.
This heroic act, social media propaganda, everything is his attempt to stay alive in the public’s heart and news to
raise his fame.
If he is a selfish jerk, then why should you suffer, Drielle?”
Bright’s expert opinion on my new interaction with Felix was eye opening for me, hitting my head with a sledgehammer of truth.
Just like a dumb girl, I wasn’t able to decipher the real game of seemingly harmless series of events, it all felt so normal that I didn’t suspect anything.
Bright was absolutely right, Felix and his media team were deliberately targeting me, solely relying on my reactions to the success of their agendas.
After losing his face and company, Felix used me as a shield to mask his evil intentions. This heroic incident’s trend was also a part of his evildoing, just to cover the hideous topic of his case in the court.
God!

He was such a vile schemer!
My lips curled into a slow, deliberate smile. “Bright,” I murmured, tilting my head.
“How do you feel about making headlines for all the right reasons?”
His brow quirked.
“I’m listening.”
“Are you free tonight?”
The gleam in his eyes matched mine.
