Chapter 295: A married man.
Elena knew that voice even in her sleep, she has dreams of stringing the owner of that voice by the his male parts and dipping him naked into a sea of flesh eating slugs.
"Your co-star is here," she commented and eyes followed a lanky built man as he walked over and placed Melanie behind him.
"Why are you here, are you stalking us?" he asked.
"One of them is an actor, the other is a writer. Is this your family hospital that other people cannot come?" she asked.
"Adrian, it's fine, we were just talking," Melanie said but did not forget to hide behind Donald.
"She said you two are getting engaged. Congratulations," Elena said and Donald paused.
“Engaged? What are you saying?" he asked.
At this point, Melanie was in complete panic. She could not believed Elena, this bitch would not stop talking.
"Everyone here heard. She announced it happily. Or, was she lying?" Elena asked and Donald glanced at Melanie who looked pale.
Elena did not give her time to recover as she immediately said, "Well, congratulations. But I have told your fiancé to stay away from me. Be sure to have her ears checked.
"Elena!" Donald scolded.
"Don't raise your voice at me, I don't have a lot of patience these days," Elena countered sharply, taking a step towards the two of them.
"We only got sighed our divorce papers a few days ago, and you have gotten engaged. It seems that the person in that video circulating is you, then," Elena said and the crowd gasped.
They had recognized Donald as Melanie's boyfriend. She had been seen with him multiple times and even though they had not confirmed their relationship, there were many pictures that supported this truth.
He was married all these time? If they had just signed the divorce papers, doesn't that mean that the divorce is not yet finalized? Donald family noticed that he was arguing publicly and wanted to leave with Melanie, but how could Elena let him do that?
When she had wanted to leave, Melanie specifically stopped her to act her solo play.
"I do not know what is giving both of you're the confidence to walk out in public after why happened," Elena said.
She proceeded to turn to Melanie, "Your sex tape sleeping with him is already circulating online and you are shamelessly blocking my path to act? I have never seen a mistress as confident as you before," Elena said and Donald blocked her sight of Melanie instinctively.
"You said you would not..." he started to say.
"Then train her well. I may have said I would not talk about you two, if she provokes me, I will react," Elena cut him off.
Standing this close to her, Donald could not help but hold his breath. He suddenly noticed that her green eyes were bright when she was angry.
But at this point, Elena was tired of seeing their disgusting faces.
"If you want to act, go to the theater, don't block my way! I still have things to do," she said and walked past them before they could block her again and left in crisp steps.
Melanie panicked when she heard what Elena had said, but Elena was long gone by this time.
"What did she mean by sex tape?" Melanie shouted.
She had not gone online for a while, as she trusted that Donald was dealing with everything.
But a sex tape? A sex tape? She had long noticed that people were looking at her oddly, but she was used to people staring and did not think too deeply.
"What does she mean by this?" Melanie quickly grabbed Donald's arm and shouted.
Donald almost cursed out loud and he dragged her from the room.
Was she stupid? Why was she shouting here?
"Shut up and come!" he ordered as he dragged her away.
He had seen people filming the confrontation and knew it was only a matter of time before it was the topic of the.
He dragged her into Melanie's private room and shut the door.
"What is she saying?" Melanie shouted.
"You should be the one explaining yourself," Donald said, passing her his phone.
Melanie only needed to go online to find out what was happening. When she clicked on the link, she saw a video of herself in bed with someone.
She screamed and almost dropped the phone.
The next moment, she grabbed onto Donald's arm and started begging.
"It's not me there. It really isn't me!" she insisted, but Donald was not buying it.
He had already checked. The video was not fake.
"You believe me, right?" she asked and when he did not answer she became hysterical.
"It's not me! It is not me!" she screamed over and over.
"Calm

Donald grabbed her shoulder,

"It is not me! It is not me!" she screamed till the doctors and nurses were alerted.
They rushed in and sedated her.
Even though she had reacted this way, Donald was not moved.
If he had not been dragged into this, he would have cared.
But people online talked about him being the man, even though it was clearly not him.
He was more interested in clearing his name than hers.
If Melanie knew that her hysteria did not help, she would not have fainted.
Cause, by the time she is awake, all of this would have been set in stone.
Sure enough, the Inte was in flames.
The news spread quickly that she was dating a married man all this time.
Old pictures of Donald and Melanie was pulled out, but there was no picture of Elena.
Many wondered who she was and others pitied her.
Melanie and Donald were being destroyed online.
Donald hired a big PR company to wash his image clean.
Usually these people were hired on multiple cases for Melanie.
Now, he was the client.
He was in a meeting for hours. No matter what angle they took, it was hard for his image to recover.
It took a while before they handled the matter of the video to prove he was not the one in it.
The PR team spun a tale to mock him to clear his name.
Donald couldn't believe he had to accept their decision.
They decided on paying accounts and media outlets to analyze the video to prove he was not the one in it.

He knew it would take a while before he could debunk the rumor that she was his mistress, but he was pleased he had been proven to not being the man in the video.
As for Melanie, he could not interfere in this, so as not to implicate himself.
He had helped her enough.
He had a soft spot for Melanie, but could not believe she was not as innocent as she portrayed.
Elena used to say that he was a bad judge of character and now he saw that he had been deceived for long.
Elena had said Melanie had claimed thy were engaged in the hospital.
He recalled that every time Elena and Melanie met, Elena was very standoffish.
He wondered about all the things Melanie had said to Elena while they were married.
He picked up his phone to call her, but her line was no longer available.
