Chapter 80
“Mm… It’s November 2025. It’s been less than a month since the fan meet, and here I am again–at Grayden’s new movie promo event.
“Chantal couldn’t get a ticket, so I came alone.”
The camera hung loosely at my chest, recording the loud, glowing stage ahead.
Grayden stood center stage, bantering with the cast and laughing like sunshine.
I spoke softly, “This is for his new film. The lead actress is prettier than me and way healthier too. They look perfect together…
“I guess… it kind of hurts. But whoever he dates next… She’ll probably be better for him than I ever was, right?”
I looked toward the stage but my eyes were distant.}
The crowd buzzed louder during a game segment as the host teased, “Grayden! Reenact a kissing scene from the film!“> Everyone cheered. He chuckled, faked a kiss on the lead actress’s cheek, and then pulled off a smooth princess carry.
I turned my face away, whispering bitterly to the camera.
“Nothing to see here, right? I mean… he used to have to count to three before lifting me.”
“Look at him now. Practically a pro.“>
Then came the fan Q&A.
“Do you still keep in touch with Shirl, your former manager?”
At the sound of my name, my heart skipped:
looked up to see the mood shift instantly.
“Who? Ugh, don’t bring up that gold–digger again.“}
“She leeched off his fame and disappeared. Now she wants back in?”
“Stop ruining his new relationship, please!”
I didn’t say a word. Just stood quietly and hidden from the lights.
Then I heard Grayden paused–brief but unmistakable. And then he laughed and replied smoothly, “Don’t talk about other women in front of my girlfriend, alright? She gets jealous.”
The crowd went wild.
I looked at the camera and gave the tiniest smile.
“You hear that? I’m some ‘other woman‘ now.
“He used to send me 20 voice notes at night saying he couldn’t sleep. Now he’s up there, sweet–talking someone else.§
“But I don’t blame him. I have no right to. I was the one who left, after all. It’s good… that he has someone new, right?”
After the event, the crowd surged toward the exits. I was about to slip away when a sudden wave of pain hit me–sharp and overwhelming.

I nearly collapsed. I was only gripping the wall by the restroom just to stay upright.
My phone kept recording, and I whispered into it, “I think… the intervals between episodes are getting shorter…”
Then suddenly–someone grabbed my wrist.
I looked up.
It was… Grayden!}
Panicked, I slipped the phone into my pocket. The screen went dark, and only our voices remained.
He was pale with anger, his jaw clenched.
“Shirl. You again? Finally caught you.
“You think I didn’t see you at the set last time? Or at the fanmeet before that?
“What are you doing? Didn’t we break up? Didn’t you dump me?”
“What–couldn’t find a rich guy to fund you? So now you regret it?“}
I looked up at him. Every word from him was driving a nail into me. My lips trembled, but I still forced a smile.
“You’re overthinking. I was just… passing by,”
My hands were trembling. The pain was spreading deep like it was coming from inside my bones.
God, I fought to look normal. I didn’t want him to see me like this.
Not long after, the click of high heels echoed toward us. It was the lead actress.
Suddenly, Grayden snapped back to himself and yanked his hand away.
Then, without hesitation, he walked over and took the actress’s hand, sparing me one last cold glance.
“Great. Just passing by. Your presence is disgusting, but it also proves that I should love my current girlfriend my fiancée – more.”
“Don’t show up again–you’ll get caught on camera. It’ll look bad.”
I didn’t reply. My body was still shaking.
“Is that your ex?” his co–star asked.
“Nah,” he answered without a pause. “Just some distant relative from the countryside.”
