"Alright, alright..." Sadie Roth conceded with a sigh, "I'll move out right now."
"You've got until midnight to clear out, or I'll have someone do it for you." The landlord said coldly. "And I want the compensation first."
With no other choice, Sadie paid up and immediately started hunting for a new place to live.
Thankfully, the apartment was furnished with all the essentials, so there wasn't much of her stuff to move.
She temporarily stashed her secondhand furniture and luggage in the security room before heading to a rental agency to replace a new place...
With work looming on Monday, she had to get this sorted today.
After a tiresome search, Sadie locked down an apartment closer to work. The rent was three times what she used to pay, but the space was ample, and the neighborhood was nice.
What mattered most was it was a fresh start, a place no one knew about, free from disruptions.
She made it to the bank before closing time and quickly deposited the two million dollars into her account.
Upon seeing her bank balance, Sadie lifted her chin high and strode out with a proud smirk.
Sadie began moving into the new place and spent the night cleaning solo. She only stopped when she collapsed exhausted on the couch. While staring at the ceiling, she imagined the children's joyful faces when they came home, and a smile crept onto her lips...
Perhaps it was the fatigue, but she dozed off on the couch, with Coco, the bird, laying atop the TV stand and looking at her plaintively, saying, "Mommy, I'm hungry!"
...
That night, Sadie slept deeply, only to be awakened by the chill of the morning - she'd forgotten to cover herself with a blanket. She wrapped herself tighter in her coat, considering some more sleep, and then realized it was getting late. After feeding Coco and quickly getting ready, Sadie rushed off to work.
She had left early the previous Friday and had the weekend off, amounting to just two and a half days, yet it felt like she had been on a long vacation considering all that had happened...
But she had kept those events to herself, so why were her co-workers looking at her strangely and whispering behind her back?
"Sadie..." Her colleague Alissa from the admin department approached with excitement in her eyes, "Look at you! I had no idea you and Mr. Potter were an item."
"What?" Sadie froze. Her relationship with Ronan Potter was supposed to be a secret, known by only a few...
"Cut the act, Alissa," Sadie Roth exclaimed with a mischievous grin, "I knew it! Barely a month at the company and you've been transferred three times. There had to be some strings being pulled. I was betting on Mr. Brown having your back, but turns out, it's Mr. Potter. You're really something!"
Stunned by these words, Sadie's jaw dropped, and she quickly pressed, "What? What rumors have you heard?"
"Rumors? There are photos and videos," Alissa chuckled as she pulled out her phone and scrolled through her social media. "It's all over the news. You're trending. You're the internet's new sensation!"
Sadie grabbed the phone from her and felt a chill run down her spine as she read:
#Clemens Ronan Potter of Potter Group's Secret Rendezvous with Young VIC Secretary# #Ronan Potter's Affair with Junior Secretary#
#Ronan Potter Requests Divorce for Mistress, Mrs. Potter Rushes Back to Newark Overnight#
These three consecutive headlines dominated the trend list, ranking first, second, and third.
Tapping into the news, Sadie found the articles detailed and damning, complete with photos of her and Ronan Potter's meeting-one particularly intimate shot showed him holding her hand and gazing into her eyes... It was a PR nightmare no way to clear her name now.
With a sinking feeling washing over her, Sadie glanced at the incoming comments.
"Homewrecker! She should just disappear!"
"I hate those who break up families most. Karma will get this woman."
"Let's dox her-expose everything about this mistress so she can't hide..."
