[Actress Regina and handsome boyfriend caught kissing]

[Everything you need to know about Harry Sealey]

[Who is Regina's boyfriend, Harry Sealey?]

[Timeline of Harry and Regina's relationship]

"This… "Aren let out a surprised gasp as she stared at the possible titles of the articles that will be released tomorrow. "That man's girlfriend is actually an artist?"

"Yes, so your divorce is going to happen anytime soon." Gabi smiled. She just showed the woman the possible titles that the media outlets are going to use for tomorrow's articles. It would be chaotic and many people would love it.

After all, many people would love some juicy rumor.

"Because of this, he would beg you for a divorce. And might probably comply to whatever you want." Gabi handed her a piece of paper. "Tell him… this is what you want."

"This… "Aren started reading the piece of paper. Her eyes turned wide. "Shares and ten million?"

"The ten million is yours and I am going to give you a house in the province of Plaria, away from this place. There will be a prepared scholarship for your brother and… a new name and identity for both of you."

"That — may I know why you wanted the shares? Is that really important to you? I mean… why not just ask for more money?"

Gabi only smiled. Money? She didn't lack those. However, she needed the shares because she is going to use them to make the Sealey Construction hers. All she wanted was to become its major shareholder.

"But… they would probably try to kill me if I asked for shares." Right now, their assumption is that Aren did it because she is just another gold-digging b*tch. They are expecting her to demand some money but not shares.

After all, a mere maid wouldn't know anything about stocks and shares, right? So the moment Aren decides to ask for these things, they would immediately know that it was a part of Gabi's scheme. And their next action is to kill Aren.

"Then you stay here…" Gabi smiled. "No more staying in the Sealeys mansion. I don't really think they would notice your disappearance tonight." With that, Gabi handed her another piece of paper.

Aren immediately noticed that the document was dated tomorrow. "A divorce paper?"

"I prepared six copies for the next six days. In case… they destroy it, I can just send them another one. Then… another three copies for the next three months. You just need to sign it. And you can leave the country tonight." Gabi smiled. "By tomorrow, you and your brother are going to have new identities, new life."

"Is that all?"

"Of course, I need to record a video of you crying for the camera. I need it for… drama purposes." Gabi wanted to send the video to the Sealey Family, and this was going to be the nail to the coffin. It's either they give in and give the shares or… release the fact that Gabrielle Sutton forced their son to marry a maid because he rap*d her.

It was just a convenient way of handling things.

"Then my brother?"

"He is here… with your luggage."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then you die by Harry's hand," Gabi answered with no hesitation. Aren is just another pawn. And to stop a pawn from dreaming to become a queen, she needed to dispose of it in the earlier parts of the game.

Gabi knew that Aren was an ambitious woman. If she's not, she wouldn't have put herself in danger just to marry a rich man. And to Gabi, these types of people can be very dangerous. She can't keep her by her side anymore.

"Alright… I will sign."

"Good girl!" Gabi smiled. "This is going to be the start of a new life. The scholarship that I provided is for you and your brother. Go ahead and start a new life abroad. Go to school, find a job, find a good husband and live a peaceful life. Do you understand me?"

For a few seconds, Aren stared at Gabi before she smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I will not disappoint you."

…..

The sound of his phone interrupted his sleep. For the umpteenth time, Harry canceled the call without even checking the identity of the caller. Somehow, he knew that it would be his mom nagging him to come home and visit his wife.

His mother wanted him to put that silly maid in her place. She wanted him to tell her that she was nothing in that house.

However, Harry didn't think that the reason was enough to see that woman. He wanted to punish that made for a lifetime by not even seeing her! He already decided about this matter. There is no going back!

This time, a familiar ring made him smile.

Isn't this the personalized ringtone for his beloved? "Good morning— "

"Harry? Are you up yet? Did you check the news?"

"Huh?" Harry jolted up, a foreboding feeling rushed inside him. "What news?"

"Check it out. Someone knew that you are my boyfriend. My management wants me to make a statement about our relationship."

"Huh?" Harry jumped out of the bed and immediately opened the tablet nearby. Just as he expected, it was already on top 1 trending. After all, his woman is the new rising member of a popular girl group who just starred in a rom-com TV series a couple of weeks ago.

Because of that series, her popularity had gone up and many people are now doing their best to know her secrets.

"I didn't tell them that you are already married. What should I do now? What if…"

"Honey… calm down." Harry consoled her. "Let me take care of this."

"If you can use your connections, then that would be better. My manager already tried to have it deleted but it seems that many people already shared the news around. I— My fans are demanding a public statement."

"Alright… let do call you back. Love you."

Harry immediately ended the call and called his father. "Dad… did you see the news?" he went directly to the point.

"What news? I am in the middle of the meeting… Just tell me about it."

"Well… the paparazzi posted and images of me in the condo…"

"What did you say?"

"They wanted her to make a public statement about her private relationship. But… if these people would know that I am married then… her reputation would surely go down. Is it possible to take down all the news about this matter?"

The old man let out a sigh. "My secretary will call you in a while. For now, you have to go home and tell your mother about it."

Hearing his father's assurance, he smiled. "Alright… I will see you tonight."

However, the Sealey family soon learned that they couldn't remove the top trending. Many people already shared the news and removing everything is just impossible.

Because of this, Regina's management asked her to make a statement to clarify the relationship. The thing is, it was already pretty obvious that they were lovers because the images that were included includes them kissing and snuggling in her private lounge area in the company.

"Harry… what should I do? What if your wife sees the news? You said that she is nothing but a gold digger, right? What if she used this against you? Against me? She is still your wife, so… people might sympathize with her. What about my career? What about my— "

"Please stop talking for a while. Let me think of something."

"Divorce."

"Hm?" Harry looked at his woman. "Divorce?"

"Let her sign a divorce. Then… we can say that you were already separated for a long time. Even if she threatened to expose the relationship, then… she can't do anything about it."

This was actually a good idea, except that many people knew that Harry and Regina were college lovers. Their relationship started when they were just first years in college!

So… this would surely backfire.

"Let's go home. I will talk to mother and father about this." This was the only solution that he could think of — asked for his parent's help.

When the two arrived in the Sealey's estate, what welcomed them was the gloomy atmosphere inside the house. To his surprise, even his elder brother who went out of the country is waiting for him along with his parents.

"What is going on here?" Isn't this just a simple scandal in the entertainment industry? Is there really a need for this dramatic scene? He raised his eyebrow towards his mother and father, waiting for them to say something. "Did something happen?" In his mind, this isn't really that concerning.

If worse comes to worst, he could just deny the relationship or even make his woman quit showbiz and make her his wife instead. These were things that he never told Regina because he didn't want to reveal anything about the rape to her.

Moreover, there was no guarantee that Aren would do anything about it. After all, Aren is living inside the estate. Surely, she would first think about her safety before exposing the fact that she was his wife, right?

Right?
