Chapter 38


    Emma stood defiantly, facing Alex’s usations head–on. She had long given up on exining her


    rtionship with Morgan to him. Their marriage, marred by mistrust and disappointment, had left her


    weary and uninterested in his demands for answVEN,


    Alex, feeling the sting of Emma’s indifference, confronted her with a mix of anger and confusion,” So,


    you think you owe me no exnation? What role did he y in our marriage? Was he the reason for


    our divorce? What do you gain from being with him over me?”


    Emma replied with a bitterugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “And what did being with you bring


    me? Your obsession with Be, the constant marital strife, yourck of seriousness. Why should


    I dignify yourth


    answers? Besides, Morgan is a ‘she,” not a‘


    Alex, taken aback by her harsh words, fiued. “You’re turning this on me? How can you be so blind to


    your own faults?”


    Emma’s frustration boiled over. “My faults? Look at yourself, Alex! You never dealt with your Issues with


    Be. You’re quick to judge but never self–reflect. Why do you think we ended up divorced? Youck


    any self–awareness!”


    Pushing him away, Emma walked over to Morgan, deliberately wrapping an arm around her waist as


    they made their exit.


    Morgan and Jada nced back at Alex, smirking at his evident agitation. “You really know how to get


    under Alex’s skin,” Morgan remarked. “But why did hee after you? Because of me?”


    Emma nodded, exining the situation. “Nathan must have taken that photo and sent it to Alex, making


    him believe you were the ‘other‘ in our marriage. That’s what set him off.”


    Morgan scoffed at the absurdity. “Alex was the unfaithful one, yet he tries to pin the me on you.”


    Jada, joining in, rolled her eyes. “Typical Alex. Always projecting his faults onto others, never owning


    up to his mistakes.”


    Emma agreed, her tone a mix of resignation and bitterness. “That’s why I didn’t bother with him. He


    can’t even handle his own mess with Be and yet he thinks he has any right to question me. We’re


    divorced; I owe him nothing.”


    As they got into their cars, the women continued discussing Alex’s actions, unaware of the brewing


    storm caused by Nathan’s photos.


    The next morning, Emma’s phone was inundated with


    lls from Wayne, which roused her from sleep. “What’s this about online rumors targeting you?” he


    asked, concerned.


    Emma, groggy and confused, struggled to understand. “Rumors? What rumors?” She sat up in bed.


    Wayne exined the situation, his voice tinged with worry. “There are posts online about you being

    intimately involved with another man, iming that’s why Alex divorced you. Public opinion is turning


    against you.

    “What?”


    Realization dawned on Emma as she checked her phone. The posts twisted the narrative, insinuating


    an inappropriate rtionship between her and Morgan during her marriage.


    Emmaughed bitterly. “Nathan’s handiwork, no doubt. He’s trying to paint me in a bad light, but


    it’s baseless.”


    Wayne, still on the line, asked, “Do you need help handling this?”


    “No,” Emma replied confidently. “It’s not as bad as it seems. I’ve


    got this.”


    Wayne, sensing her determination, offered his support but suggested she check in with Morgan’s


    family.


    Emma agreed, knowing the impact this situation had on Morgan as well. With a n forming in her


    mind, she prepared to navigate the storm with cunning and resolve.
