Watching thement sections descend into chaos, Amara marveled again at the sheer power of fandoms before putting her phone down to think.


    She knew this would happen the moment Keith spoke up for her; she was just too controversial a figure. And frankly, she was sick of people online calling her ugly. She had to find a way to put a stop to it.


    An idea began to form.


    After rummaging through a few drawers, she found a phone stand she''d bought but rarely used. She set up her phone, applied some light makeup, fixed her hair, and changed into a simple, elegant dress. Then, she stood in front of the camera and recorded a short video.


    "Hi everyone, I''m Amarise, the screenwriter. This is the first time I''m appearing without a mask, and it still feels a little strange, but I''m happy to finally show you all my real face..."


    In the video, she briefly exined how her face had been injured and that it had long since healed. Then she addressed her rtionship with Keith.


    She exined that they were childhood friends and had always been incredibly close, which was why he had gotten so angry when he heard people attacking her looks.


    But, she rified, they were only friends. Nothing more. She asked everyone to please stop specting.


    The video was originally about five minutes long, but she edited it down to a crisp three and a half minutes before logging into her Twitter and posting it.


    Just as she''d expected, the post caused an absolute firestorm online.


    Most people had only ever seen the one unmasked photo of her disfigured face, and their impression of her was that she was horrifyingly ugly. They werepletely unprepared for the reveal that her face had healed. She was, to their astonishment, stunningly beautiful-beautiful enough to outshine any actress in the industry. The inte was floored.


    "OMG AMA IS GORGEOUS!! I hereby dere Ama my new wife, I love you, queen!"


    "Girl, you look like that and you''re a screenwriter?! You should be a movie star! That''s a God-given gift! Don''t let it go to waste!"


    “You''re so beautiful I think I''m a fan now haha. Are you and Keith realty just childhood friends? I watched the clip of him defending you like ten times, he really cares about your you guys should give it a shot!"


    "Kiss me, beautiful! Starting a new ship today, and it''s Ama and Keith! They''re perfect for each other!!!"


    While many people raved about her beauty, a significant number also started dragging Liliana into the conversation.


    "That trash reporter said it was ''night and day'' between Ama and Liliana. Pfft! It is, because Ama is way hotter!"<fn9534> Chapters first released on find?novel</fn9534>


    "For real! With a face like that, why would Ama ever feel insecure around Liliana? Those trolls need to shut up."


    "Well, the reporter was right about one thing, it is night and day. Amarise is the day, and Liliana''s the night. Guess they knew all along hahaha."


    Amara had no intention of


    attacked by Liliana''s fans, sh


    couldn''t deny a flicker of satisfaction


    at seeing them silenced.


    With her video out, Liliana''s fans


    went quiet. It was a sweet relief. The


    story quickly, started trending,


    capturing the attention of the entire inte.


    Around eight that evening, even Mr. Everly, who rarely paid attention to


    entertainment news, got a push notification on his phone.
