    A chill ran down Zev''s spine. "What did Thea post on Twitter?

    There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. "Mr. Lockhart, Thea is a public figure. She wouldn''t say anything reckless. It''s your wife-


    "I know my wife," Zev cut in, his voice dropping. "She''s not the type to pick fights, especially online. If she reacted, it meant Thea pushed her first." A bad feeling crept over him. He knew Thea had stirred up trouble.


    "Thea was just expressing nostalgia about her past rtionship."


    "Nostalgia?" Zev scoffed. "I''m alive. I have a wife, a family. What''s there to reminisce about? She''s a public figure shouldn''t she know better? Maybe she''s been too sheltered to understand the consequences, but you''re her manager. Are you just as clueless? You knew it would stir bacsh, yet you let her post it anyway. And after the damage was done, instead of handling it, you came to my wife? She''s not an influencer, just an ordinary person. Why shouldn''t she respond?"


    His patience was gone. Protecting his loved ones was second nature-it didn''t take thought, just instinct.


    To him, Kelly was everything.


    "Mr. Lockhart, you''re aware of Thea''s situation. You two have known each other since childhood. Forcing her to delete her Twitter would damage her image-it''s like making her admit fault, which could harm her career," the manager coaxed, speaking in a hushed tone after a long silence. "Can you ask your wife to take down her post and apologize?"


    She was trying to get Zev to do her a favor.


    “Enough with the nonsense!” Zev had no patience for her antics. Thea''s manager always pushed her limits, so he ended the call without another word.


    Asking him to tell his wife to delete a post and apologize? That would be a disaster.


    People should take responsibility for their actions. Thea should have considered the consequences before posting anything.


    "Honey ..." Zev slipped back into the bedroom, quietly crawling into bed. Lowering his voice, he asked, "What did Thea even post? I don''t use Twitter, so I have no idea. Can you show me?"


    Kelly turned to him, her expression cold. "Did Thea reach out to you?"


    "No, her manager did," Zev admitted.


    "What did she want? For you to divorce me and go back to Thea?" Kelly said, her voice dripping with


    sarcasm.


    "She wanted me to convince you to delete the post and apologize," Zev replied fearlessly.


    Kelly''s chest tightened as she red at Zev, her reddened eyes resembling a cat ready to pounce.


    For the first 20 years of her life, everything had been smooth sailing. Sheltered by her parents, she was always seen as obedient, kind, intelligent, and diligent.


    In university, she met Eric, and their rtionship seemed picture-perfect-the well-mannered girl and the gifted young man, an ideal match. His modest background never mattered to Kelly.

    However, their love couldn''t withstand the hardships that came their way.

    After spending five years in Oasisvale, her life fell apart the moment she returned home. Lost and desperate, she met Zev, a man whose life was theplete opposite of hers. Unlike her, he was wild and defiant, yet somehow, he became her anchor, giving her the strength to move forward.


    Maybe she hadn''t even realized just how much she relied on him.


    If he asked her to take down her post and apologize to Thea, it would cut deep.


    "I blocked her. She''s insane." Zev quickly assured Kelly, sitting up straight as if preparing for an outburst.


    The tension in her chest eased, and she let out a sigh of relief. With her gaze lowered, she murmured, "She''s a celebrity. My Twitter suddenly got a lot of attention. If I don''t take it down, won''t it cause trouble for her?"


    In reality, Thea was testing the waters. Her tweet wasn''t just some random post-it was meant to gauge what kind of person Kelly was. Was she easy to push around? Would she back down?


    Everyone has limits, and if Kelly didn''t push back today, Thea would only take things further tomorrow.


    The old saying ''suffering a loss is a blessing'' was just a way for people tofort themselves. No one deserved to be trampled on. If someone tried to take advantage of her, she had to stand her ground- otherwise, they''d keep stepping over her.


    Life had taught Kelly that being the ''good girl'' wasn''t always the best path.


    Being too nice only made her an easy target for opportunists.


    "What does this have to do with us? She started it. You wouldn''t stir up drama on your own," Zev said confidently. Even without seeing the tweet, he felt strangely pleased. Over the past few years, Kelly had changed-she wasn''t as easily pushed around anymore.


    He had always wanted her to be stronger.


    He believed that when a man made his woman feel secure, she would naturally grow more confident.


    So, if Kelly had toughened up, he took full credit for it.


    Zev shamelessly wrapped her in his arms and nced at the clock. "They''re


    making a fuss this early? Get some more sleep."


    Sheughed softly, but her eyes glistened.


    Then, she bit his neck and muttered, "This is your fault-you attracted her."
