The Viral Post That Exposed My Husband’s Five Women Chapter 06
Kelsey stared at me, then charged toward meÂ
screaming.Â
“You?! I knew there was something off about youÂ
earlier! You’re the one behind all this!”Â
Maya immediately stepped in front of me andÂ
shoved her back.Â
“Behind what, exactly?”Â
“Are you saying what’s going on between the fiveÂ
of you and Mr. Mercer isn’t true?”Â
Kelsey recoiled, the color draining from her face.Â
Ryan dropped the microphone and hurried down from the stage.Â
“Natalie, let me explain!”Â
“I had no idea they were posting that stuff online! They were just making things up to show off!”Â
“If you’re upset, I’ll get Legal involved right now. We’ll sue them for defamation and for damaging the company’s reputation. Okay?”Â
“Legal?” Brianna staggered back a step. “Ryan!”Â
“You promised me a bonus equal to two years‘Â
salary! How am I the one making things up? IÂ
didn’t lie!”Â
The others panicked too.Â
“Why are you getting Legal involved? Ryan, youÂ
said all of this yourself!”Â
Kelsey immediately pulled out her phone andÂ
played a voice message.Â
“Kelsey, the car’s ready. After the gala tonight, howÂ
about I give you a little reward? This time, we’reÂ
going to fuck in the car all night.”Â
Ryan’s low, suggestive voice rang through theÂ
room.Â
The crowd erupted.Â
Lauren, hands trembling, pulled out her own phone.Â
and played another recording.Â
“Baby, that house is over 3,200 square feet. OnceÂ
we move in together, we can fuck anywhere weÂ
want.”Â
Hearing that, Alyssa hurriedly opened one of her.Â
own saved messages and played it aloud.Â
“Alyssa, at work you’re my assistant, but to me,Â
you’re my woman. I’ll make sure you get a stake inÂ
the company too.”Â
Chloe gritted her teeth, pulled out an ultrasoundÂ
report, and slapped it onto the table.Â
“This is my ultrasound!”Â
“I’m already two months pregnant with his baby!Â
How can you say I made that up?”Â
The more she spoke, the more emotional sheÂ
became. She held one hand over her stomach asÂ
tears spilled down her face.Â
“You said you were going to tell everyone about usÂ
tonight!”Â
“So why are you… why are you with all of them.Â
too?”Â
That was all it took.Â
The other women started pulling out their phones.Â
“What? Ryan told me he was going to tell everyoneÂ
about us tonight too!”Â
“Me too!”Â
“I got the same message!”Â
“Oh my God…”Â
Only then did everyone else put it together.Â
All five women had received the same message.Â
People around them covered their mouths,Â
laughing.Â
“So all five of them thought tonight was the nightÂ
he was finally making their relationship public. No.Â
wonder they all showed up dressed like they wereÂ
headed to a red carpet.”Â
“This is ridiculous. Did Mr. Mercer seriously useÂ
the exact same line on all five of them?”Â
“I’m dying. Five women got the same text sayingÂ
he was going to tell everyone about them, and not one of those promises was real.”Â
Ryan instinctively looked up at me.Â
“Natalie… did you send those messages?”Â
“You… you already knew?”Â
I looked at him without expression.Â
“Who do you think took that photo at theÂ
hospital?”Â
His face grew whiter by the second. Even his voiceÂ
started trembling.Â
“Natalie, it isn’t what it looks like. Please, let meÂ
explain.”Â
Explain?Â
I slapped him across the face.Â
“Ryan, I don’t want an explanation.”Â
“As of today, you’re fired.”Â
“What?” Kelsey’s head snapped up. “You’re firingÂ
Mr. Mercer? Who do you think you are?”Â
Brianna immediately backed her up. “Exactly!Â
What gives you the right? If Ryan loses his job,Â
who’s supposed to pay my bills?”Â
The others started chiming in too.Â
“Exactly! Men fool around. What’s so shockingÂ
about that?”Â
“Ryan has money. He can spend it however heÂ
wants. As long as I’m the one he really loves in theÂ
end, I don’t care!”Â
“M–Me too!”Â
Chloe wiped at her tears.Â
“I’m carrying Ryan’s baby. He’ll settle down onceÂ
the baby’s here!”Â
“You’re the one causing trouble. Who even areÂ
you? Get out!”Â
What?Â
I had assumed they were victims too–womenÂ
Ryan had kept in the dark.Â
Apparently, they weren’t worth my sympathy.Â
I scoffed.Â
“Who am I?”Â
“Take a good look.”Â
With that, I raised a hand.Â
The house lights came up.Â
Several longtime employees recognized meÂ
immediately.Â
“Ms. Ashford!”Â
“It’s Ms. Ashford!”Â
“Ms. Ashford is here!”
