Chapter 292
Dominic prepared an extravagant breakfast for Evelyn. His gaze lingered as she finished every bite before heading to the office.
The mansion felt hollow after his departure.
Restless, Evelyn powered up her laptop. A trending link caught her attention.
She clicked without hesitation.
It led to a forum post on Xeddit - the notorious international gossip hub where society's elite were dissected daily.
Dominic Blackwood's name had dominated discussions for years. The public's obsession with his private life was evident from the endless search results.
Evelyn scanned several threads speculating about his bachelor status. Theories ranged from him being secretly gay to having some disfiguring disease. His loyal fanbase fiercely defended him against such rumors.
She hadn't realized Dominic commanded such passionate online following.
Then a headline blazed across her screen: "SHOCKING SCANDAL! T CORPORATION CEO BRUTALIZES COUSIN AND SEDUCES HIS WIFE!"
Her stomach dropped before she even opened it.
The post had gone viral within three hours - millions of views, thousands of comments. The internet was ravenous for this juicy drama.
The username "CuckoldedHawk" made her pulse spike.
The post detailed how CuckoldedHawk had fallen madly in love with his wife, spoiled her rotten, even went to prison to fund her lavish lifestyle. Photos showed their wedding, his prison uniform, and their twin children - all faces blurred but clearly authentic.
The narrative continued: Upon release, he discovered his wife's affair with his wealthy cousin. Heartbroken, he begged her to stop. She confessed she couldn't resist her passion for his cousin.
CuckoldedHawk claimed he confronted his cousin - heir to T Corporation - only to be brutally beaten while the cousin openly flirted with his wife. Graphic injury photos showed him bandaged and intubated.
The post masterfully painted him as the tragic hero - loving husband, devoted father, now betrayed victim. His wealthy cousin emerged as the villain who stole his wife and nearly killed him.
At the post's end, a blurred photo showed a couple embracing. Though faces were obscured, Evelyn's blood ran cold.
That was her in Dominic's arms.
And those were unmistakably her children.
Fury ignited in her chest.
Whoever wrote this had dragged her babies into their sick fantasy.
The wedding photo matched one Maxwell Lockwood had tweeted. Realization struck - was this Maxwell's twisted revenge?
Her hands trembled scrolling through the comments:
"Disgusting!"
"Incestuous pigs!"
"They deserve to die!"
Then user "TruthSeeker" exposed the identities: CuckoldedHawk was Maxwell Lockwood of Lockwood Corp. The "cousin" was Dominic Blackwood. The adulterous wife? Evelyn Sinclair.
The internet exploded.
