The Secret Marriage Scandal Chapter 2

Reporters excitedly pointed their mics at Evelyn.

"Ms. Harper, is the marriage certificate you posted online real? Did you retire from Hollywood because you found true love?"

I quickly checked my phone.

Twitter was exploding—

#CalebThorne: My Hidden Love of Five Years Finally Revealed

I clicked. The top post was the photo Evelyn sent me.

Caption:

[Yes, we've been married for five years.]

The comments were wild:

[OMG I knew the Goddess didn't retire to avoid that bitch Ava!]

[Ava is a D-list celeb. It's been three years and she's still irrelevant.]

[I'm a kindergarten teacher. Ava brought a kid today claiming it was Mr. Thorne's. LMAO!]

[Wow, what level of delusional is this?]

[Back then, Ava was all over Mr. Thorne. Turns out he was already married to the Goddess! Karma!]

[So her five-year hiatus was actually a secret happy marriage. 😭 Goddess deserves it!]

"Throw this junk out. Caleb won't like seeing it when he gets home."

Evelyn, wrapped in a shawl, covered her nose as she pointed at a pile of brand new collectibles.

Workers immediately tossed my things onto the trash heap.

My antiques and paintings collected from around the world lay among filth.

"Stop!"

I grabbed a worker's hand and glared at Evelyn.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

"Oh my god, Ava the Bitch dares to show up?"

"Hey, can't you read the banner? Congrats Mrs. Thorne. Who do you think you are? Mrs. Thorne? LOL."

"Delusional fans are claiming houses now? Scary."

"This estate is worth nine figures. She's just here for clout. Typical."

Slap!

I slapped the reporter who was gossiping.

"Who do you think you are? Did I give you permission to enter?"

I knocked the camera away and shoved the reporter.

"Get out!"

"Stop!"

A delicate hand blocked me.

Evelyn frowned, looking dignified.

"Ms. Ava, I'm generally easygoing, but that doesn't give you the right to make a scene on my property!"
