Chapter: 42
To keep the baby or not? Doubts swirled in her mind.
If she chose to terminate the pregnancy and subsequently couldn't conceive, she might regret it forever.
Kaitlin tossed the results aside and sighed heavily.
Moonlight poured in through the window, enveloping her in a serene glow, like a silent hug.
Lilliana conducted thorough research and verified Quintin's identity.
No wonder he seemed familiar. He was a renowned actor internationally.
Before his ascent to stardom, he had earned a degree from a prestigious local school for design.
Quintin's striking looks had garnered him a vast following, and his social media overflowed with comments praising his attractiveness.
Lilliana looked at the photo she had snapped in a restaurant, showing the two deep in conversation across the table.
Releasing this image could potentially ruin Quintin's reputation as an eligible bachelor.
Overcome with excitement, she sold the photo to a paparazzo, urging them to sensationalize the story.
She was confident that Quintin's female admirers would lash out at Kaitlin to defend their beloved idol.
Lilliana doubted Quintin would ever put a relationship above his career.
Pleased with her cunning scheme, she pampered herself with a facial mask and drifted off to sleep, grinning in anticipation of the morning's drama.
By the stroke of midnight, whispers of Quintin having a secret lover had begun to spread, igniting disbelief and fury among his fans.
Many felt deceived and promptly unfollowed him, while others dismissed the scandal as mere gossip, convinced the woman was trying to lure their idol.
It didn't take long for the internet detectives to reveal that the woman was Kaitlin.
The label #KaitlinTheTemptress exploded across social media, drawing millions of shares, comments, and likes.
The online users, along with Quintin's detractors, unleashed their wrath upon the controversial image.
A desperate phone call disrupted Quintin's rest in the dead of night.
“Unbelievable! You've been home just one day, and already there's chaos? How can you possibly sleep at a time like this?"
Startled awake by the agitation, Quintin rose and powered up his phone, instantly alert upon seeing the viral hashtag.
The photo had been snapped earlier that day at a restaurant. Despite the distance, the image was crystal clear.
On Quintin's social media, comments piled up quickly, many attacking Kaitlin directly through harsh messages.
