Chapter 9
Chapter 9
My agent saw me spacing out and waved her hand in front of my eyes.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, wondering if Aria and Chloe got arrested.”
“The crew wanted to sweep it under the rug, but Blake shut down the whole production.
It’s just that this thing’s huge – too many entertainment companies involved, so all the big players are suppressing the story.
The public doesn’t know what really happened to you. But they probably can’t keep it quiet much longer.”
Looking at the trending topics now, it all felt so ridiculous.
Because Blake rushed me to the ambulance, two theories were floating around online.
One said I was the other woman who successfully stole Aria’s man, then tried to kill myself for attention.
The other said I was Blake’s real girlfriend.
[If Zara Hayes is Blake’s girlfriend, then him visiting the set all the time makes total sense. And the night he brought chocolates, Blake was jealous of her co–star – that explains the bathroom conversation and why he gave the whole box to Aria.]
People were saying all kinds of crazy stuff online.
Aria immediately posted on social media: [My relationship status is stable. Please don’t speculate.]
Some people instantly flipped to Aria’s side, saying I was staging the whole thing, faking suicide attempts, stealing her man.
But plenty of others fired back: [Then why the hell did the Winters family make Blake kneel for Zara Hayes?]
Faced with this complete shitshow,
I decided to post and clear the air:
[Stop with the theories. Blake isn’t my boyfriend. Blake is my brother – Uncle Winters took me in. Blake and I are completely platonic. I don’t have feelings for him like that. Never have, never will, not in this lifetime… As for Blake and Aria’s relationship, I don’t know and don’t care. Stop dragging me into every damn thing.]
The moment I hit post,
The comments went absolutely nuclear – 100k in seconds.
So this was what being A–list felt like? Talk about a baptism by fire.
[Wait, girl? I just started shipping you and Blake and now it’s dead?]
[So they really are siblings! All those people calling our Zara a homewrecker better apologize right now. Aria stans, we’re waiting! Our girl went through hell.]
[Does this mean we can ship Zara with her co–star again? She and that sweet boy are made for each other.]
Half an hour later, my agent shoved her phone in my face.
Blake had straight–up copied my format:
