There Was No Way Out Realizing that the one who rejected her request three years ago was the sameperson who put her down every single day for forcing a marriage with him just for money madeLeanna’s heart ache. It was as if someone was using a rusty blade to pierce her heart little by little. Itwas bitter and painful.

Thankfully, they had divorced for good. Otherwise, she might suffocate Aidan with a pillow somedaywhile sharing the same bed at night when emotions got the best of her. It was probably due topregnancy that had worsened her mood swing; it took her a long time to recompose herself. She wokeup at midnight only to replace her pillow sodden with tears. The more she thought about it, the more vexedshe was. Impulsively, she took her phone out to post something on her social media account. ‘XXX isthe most disgusting man in this world!!!’ The three exclamation marks indicated how furious she was.

Amongst the concerned people in the comment section, Jonathan, who was still working overtime, wasthe only one who hit the ‘like’ button. As if he was attempting to say, I know who you’re talking aboutand I feel you. Leanna remained silent for a moment before regaining her composure. Initially, shethought of deleting the post, but it did not matter because she had previously blocked Aidan’s Twitteraccount. After all, she did not expose the person’s identity. Even if he assumed that she wasinsinuating him after reading it, she could not do anything about it. After sleeping for long hours for thepast few days in addition to the fuming rage, she was completely awake. Thus, she figured that it wouldbe better to use the time to sketch another design. On the other side, Daphne was on Twitter andstumbled across some hilarious content by chance. She screenshotted it before forwarding to a groupchat to share it with her fellow crew members. Everyone had fun gushing about it until she received a

private message from Aidan out of the blue. ‘What did Leanna post?’ She did not understand thequestion as she replied to him with a question mark. ‘Look at the bottom of the screenshot. What didshe write about?’ He was evidently impatient.

It was not until then did she notice that the funny content was just right above Leanna’s Tweet.Although Leanna’s name was in the screenshot, the written content was not included. Surprised,Daphne asked her assistant as to when Aidan was added to that group chat, only to be informed thathe had always been there since the incident that had happened two years ago. It was just that he nevertexted in the group. Silence struck upon her. Does that mean this evil sponsor has been watching metalk sh*t about him this whole time? Feeling the cold sheen behind her back, Daphne checkedLeanna’s post again before reconfirming with Aidan. ‘President Pearson, are you sure you wannaknow?’ ‘Take a screenshot for me.’ He was rather cool about it. Soon, the insinuating statement wasdisplayed on Aidan’s phone. In order to let Leanna’s post stand out in the picture, Daphne cropped outthe irrelevant information such as the ‘Jonathan liked this Tweet’ banner as well as her own replybelow. She personally thought that the ‘XXX’ was a commendable move by Leanna.

It was inflaming yet solemn due to the firm and reserved way of expression. Even if the accused personsaw it, he would not be able to replace anything wrong from it unless he himself admitted that he was theso-called spiteful b*stard. Receiving zero responses from Aidan, Daphne thought that he would notreply anymore. Yet, the moment she placed her phone aside to sleep, her phone buzzed again.‘Screenshot everything that she tweets and send them to me from now on.’ Daphne was speechless bythe sudden mission. ‘You can have a one-week break.’ ‘I’m not the kind of person who would betray myfriend for such a short break!’ ‘Two weeks.’ ‘Okay, boss. Thank you, boss.’

Then, she apologized to Leanna for betraying her under her boss’ coercion. She was obliged toscreenshot every update on Leanna’s Twitter account to Aidan from today onward. Leanna, the victim,was at a loss for words. How can he be so shameless! Therefore, she wrote for two days straight in herTwitter Circle, consisting of only Daphne, with insulting content directed at Aidan, allowing her to relaythe messages so that he could digest things on his own. Just the mere thought of his expression afterreading the content made Leanna feel refreshed as though she had successfully taken her revenge.Right when her mood had reached its full swing, she received a call from Lux Jewelry. The boss’secretary stated that there was a problem with the contract and hence the need for her to stop by thecompany. Noel Whitlock, who was the boss of Lux Jewelry, poured Leanna a cup of tea with a smile.“Leanna, Harvey told me that you’ve been hospitalized a while ago. How are you feeling right now?”She smiled in return. “I’ve fully recovered. Thank you for your concern, President Whitlock.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I’ve heard so much about your performance on the showcase. If it wasn’t for you,the sweat and tears poured in to make ready for it might’ve gone down the drain. You’re truly oursavior.” “You’re flattering me, President Whitlock. I just did what I could.” They were running out of timeback then. Besides, all she did was walk the runway once and Daphne did the rest. As thestraightforward person he was, Noel opened a kraft paper envelope before proffering a document infront of her. “This is the contract that we both had signed earlier, but let’s terminate it. I think it’ll bebetter to just have the one you’ve signed with us from the beginning.” Leanna was surprised. “But I…”She had not expected the company to end the contract just because she helped to walk the runwayonce, much less when she had already received two hundred thousand. Needless to say, thetermination fee was a large sum of money. Noticing her doubts, he explained, “I know what you’rethinking. Actually, the original plan was to repay you with other means, not like this.

But… now that I’ve received the termination fee, I can’t just let it be, can I?” Confusion crossed herfeatures. “You’ve received the fee?” “Yeah, it’s been a week.” Noel took a sip of coffee beforeexclaiming, “I was enjoying my holiday in Cazkavia when President Pearson came to visit me out of theblue to pay the termination fee. Given how you’ve helped the showcase, I figured that it’s alright to

receive the money.” Silence engulfed her as she did not know how to respond to that. Leanna hadbasically sold herself to Lux Jewelry by signing that contract in order to get two hundred thousand toclear her debt with Aidan. Yet, he returned the money back to Noel in addition to the termination fee,which was worth almost a million of dollars. Her head hurt at the thought of this plot-twist. As soon asshe stepped out of Noel’s office, Harvey approached her to inform that Pearson Group had selectedtheir winning candidate. Considering that she was free from any constraint, she had the choice tocontact Pearson Group and get any resources that she needed. Leanna pursed her lips into a thin linewithout uttering a word as her intuition said that Aidan was merely making fun of her.

Does he hate me this much? It’s been so long since we’ve divorced, but he’s still not done with hisrevenge yet. It’s turning brutal as time passes. Back then, there was no way out and she did not wishfor her baby to suffer with her… That was the only reason why she decided to discard her pride andseek help from him.
