Seeing my shocked expression, Ethan smirked and said, “So, no more excuses? Either pay up, or I’ll have you arrested!”
He then held up several screenshots from his phone for the livestream audience, sounding self-righteous.
“Friends, I know that gay relationships aren’t always accepted, but that doesn’t justify her interfering in other people’s relationships!”
His voice grew more intense.
“Pay me back immediately, or I’ll make sure you regret it!”
Today wasn’t just our family’s funeral; many others were holding their own services, drawing a crowd of onlookers.
Some took the chance to criticize.
“Even if a relationship between two men is surprising, this woman is no better!”
“Why mess with other people’s lives at such a young age? Doesn’t she care about the disgrace?”
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Ethan seemed even more pleased. “You’d better pay up and sign the divorce papers quickly, or things will get a lot worse for you.”
I replied icily, “You should stop right there. I didn’t know about you before my marriage. If anyone’s suffering, it’s me!”
“I’ve been deceived for five years, living as a wife and raising our daughter, only to discover that the so-called love was nothing but a lie!”
