05:37silent sienna froze for a few seconds then screamed and tried to attack me again ashton held her off
05:43and at the same time his other hand grabbed my wrist he stared at me his voice full of blame
05:50scarlet you went too far i shook off his hand too far why didn't you step in when she ripped

13:14the
13:14days that followed liam always took me out to clear my mind and brought me to try things i had
13:19never done before he would drag me to learn surfing i choked on water a few times
13:30did you do that on purpose yes if you drink more now then you won't want to drink ocean water
13:35ever
13:35again he took me to climb mountains when i got tired halfway he knelt to carry me on his back
13:42you will spoil me like this it's better if you are that way nobody else can steal you away he
13:49even
13:49took me to watch a broadway musical i cried after it and he handed me a tissue are you more
13:55into the
13:56story than the actors they were acting out love but but it made me think of you in those days
14:03he
14:03filled my life up so i didn't have any free time to think about bad things sometimes i woke up
14:08from
14:08a nightmare in the middle of the night and he would pull me into his arms and say it's okay
14:13i'm here
14:13three years passed just like that that day he took me to one of his private estates suddenly he
14:20pulled a bunch of roses from behind his back and got down on one knee in front of me scarlet
14:25will you
14:26be my girlfriend
14:33liam i only ever cared about you i have waited three years for these words then your waiting ends yes
14:41the next day right when i woke up i saw liam sitting in front of the computer with a dark
14:46face
14:46he looked crazy mad we had been together for so long but this was the first time i had ever
14:52seen
14:52him this angry he was looking at something so closely that he didn't even notice me walking up
14:56behind him i hugged him from behind and rested my head on his shoulder what's wrong hearing my voice
15:03his anger slowly went away it's nothing he reached out to close the computer but i already saw what
15:09was on the screen the headline said we're getting married soon but my fiance's ex is back acting like
15:15a total homewrecker should i still marry him below the post there was a photo and the background was
15:21the private room from last night the angle was very tricky it only showed a shot of ashton grabbing my
15:27hand and his face wasn't in it but it showed my face super clearly if people didn't know the truth
15:32it really looked like i was begging him to stay seeing that i kept looking liam stood up and held
15:37me in
15:38his arms don't be scared i will take care of all of this i knew he was worried that i
15:42would be ruined
15:43by online hate just like before and lose myself again back then it was my first time facing something
15:48like that my company crashed because of this personal scandal and i lost my mind but to me then
15:54those things meant nothing i smiled and kissed him on the lips with you here i'm not afraid but you
16:03know i am never a coward since sienna wants to play dirty i'll gladly beat her at her own game
16:09even without checking the poster i knew sienna was the one who posted this garbage i just didn't expect
16:15that after all his picking ashton would end up with a snake i patted liam's hand to tell him i
16:19was fine
16:20then i sat down in front of the computer almost every single comment was attacking me you already broke
16:26up but you still come back to beg him how shameless an ex-girlfriend should act like she is dead
16:32coming back to gross people out you are an embarrassment to all women doesn't this woman
16:38look like the one from that photo scandal a few years ago i think she used her body to get
16:42to the
16:42top does her current fiance know about her past poor guy he is getting cheated on big time and many
16:49comments were comforting sienna don't scared just ignore a woman like that you should just dump him
16:55let that trashy man and toxic woman stay together forever who cares maybe she will get hit by a car
17:02tomorrow anyway sienna replied below acting all hurt my boyfriend treats me very well he keeps ignoring
17:09her but she just won't leave him alone then she added another comment i don't want to make a big
17:14scene
17:14but she keeps doing this i really don't know what to do anymore someone replied to her right away
17:20you are too soft if i were you i would have ripped her to pieces already looking at all these
17:26lies
17:26i just found it hilarious i refreshed the page the post had already been shared over 3 000 times
17:33liam stood behind me with his hand on my shoulder saying nothing i went straight ahead and left a comment
17:39this is a terrible photo of me next time you try to frame me at least pick a better angle
17:44as soon as
17:45my comment went out a whole wave of attacks exploded wow you really have some nerve how dare you come
17:52here
17:52and challenge her i've never seen a third will this shameless it's obvious nobody raised you right i looked
17:58her up this woman is the star of that old photo scandal i heard she seduces married men just to
18:04get
18:04business deals liam looked at me a bit worried scarlet go get some rest i will handle this i
18:11believed he could handle it but this time i didn't want to run away i wanted to fix it myself
18:17i smiled at
18:18him liam trust me after saying that i called my friend get me all the security camera footage from
18:25that private room last night my friend was a bit confused clearly they didn't know about the online
18:31drama yet why what happened someone online is using last night's photos to make up lies i need
18:36the security video to prove the truth who did it take a guess sienna i'll get it right now hold
18:41on
18:41not long after i hung up the video was sent over i blurred out my friend's faces and uploaded the
18:47whole
18:47video online in the video everything was crystal clear sienna ripped my clothes and i pushed her away
18:54i didn't lean into ashton once on the contrary he was the one who grabbed my hand twice sienna that
19:01angle in your video really doesn't do me justice see this one's much better don't i look amazing here
19:07just a moment later my video hit the trending topics the people who were cursing at me just now were
19:13now
19:13commenting below this looks like the truth i think there is something wrong with the guy's eyes
19:18i watched it closely three times it's settled this woman said she came back to get married
19:24she is not here for her ex at all am i the only one focusing on this the guy who
19:29showed up later is
19:30so hot with a fiance like that why bother with an ex i used to think the ex was hot
19:36but next to the
19:37fiance he's a total joke is it just me looking at something else they talked about that old photo
19:43scandal i think sienna went too far it happened so long ago but she's still attacking her online like
19:49a bitch while the comment section was fighting ashton called me are you the one making a scene
19:55online he questioned me right away like i did something wrong i let out a cold laugh ashton why
20:02don't you go watch sienna's video first and see how she framed me there was silence on the other end
20:08and then he hung up i thought ashton would call back soon to yell at me again or make excuses
20:13for
20:13sienna saying it was just a misunderstanding after all when sienna pulled out those photos earlier he
20:19said the same thing that it was just a joke but things went totally beyond my expectations what i got
20:25instead was a photo i received a photo in the picture sienna was crying her eyes out and a police
20:31officer stood next to her with a cold face right after that ashton sent a text message i'm sorry
20:37i had heard him apologize countless times before when he made me drink for him he said he was sorry
20:43when he failed to give me the life i wanted he said he was sorry on the day we broke
20:48up he said
20:49i don't want to leave either but we have to face reality i'm sorry every apology sounded real but
20:56nothing ever changed but this time it really caught me off guard he sent me another text i already made
21:03sure sienna got the punishment she deserved you the rest of the message never came through he spent a
21:09long time typing it kept showing typing he deleted it typed again and deleted it again it wasn't until
21:16it got dark and i was almost asleep in liam's arms that he finally sent it can you come back
21:21to me i froze
21:22for a second i used to dream about these words countless times during my first days in los angeles i
21:28thought
21:28about it a lot what if ashton called me what if he came to take me back what if he
21:33hugged me and said
21:34the past was the past and that we should start over but i never got any of that during those
21:40five years
21:41over there all i got were text after text from my friend ashton found another girlfriend she looks
21:46just like you she must be your replacement every time i saw those words a part of my heart died
21:53if he
21:53really loved me why didn't he come to find me if he really loved me why did he need replacements
21:59maybe we were just meant to break up it wasn't because of reality and it wasn't because of the
22:05rumors it was just because he didn't trust me enough and he didn't love me enough ashton kept saying he
22:11wouldn't look down on me and that he trusted me but after those fake photos came out he never slept
22:16in
22:16the same bed with me again even when i had a total breakdown he would just comfort me until i
22:21fell asleep
22:22and then sneak away when i woke up in the middle of the night the space next to me was
22:26empty he was
22:27scared of me scared of the rumors and scared of how people looked at him he never truly stood by
22:33my
22:33side i looked at liam who was still sleeping next to me he was fast asleep with his arm over
22:39my waist
22:39like he was afraid i would run away he did this every single night for the past three years i
22:44picked
22:45up my phone and texted back without any hesitation i already have a fiance then i held liam's hand took
22:51a
22:51picture and sent it over in the photo his hand was big with a ring on his ring finger and
22:57my fingers
22:57were locked with his he is the light in my darkness i will never betray him after sending it i
23:03flipped my
23:04phone face down on the table and leaned back into liam's arms he pulled me closer ashton stared at the
23:10message and the photo his heart hurt so bad he couldn't even breathe he lost her forever the next day
23:16when i woke up liam was lying on his side watching me did he text you he asked softly i
23:22froze for a
23:23second then remembered the message i sent last night he must have seen it in the middle of the night
23:28yeah he apologized and begged me to come back liam's eyes turned dark and his voice went very low
23:34what did you tell him i said no i told him i have you he didn't say a word he
23:42just leaned down and
23:43kissed me remember you are mine you will always be mine my eyes grew teary no one had ever chosen
23:52me so firmly before i looked at him yeah i am yours he pulled me into his arms resting his
23:58chin on top of
23:59my head the sun was shining perfectly outside the window lighting up our locked hands all that old
24:04pain and hurt felt like it was slowly going away but i knew that the photo scandal back then was
24:09no accident someone framed me on purpose the photo editing skills the posting time and the attacks in
24:15the comments none of it looked like a coincidence i was targeted by someone i was too scared to look
24:21into it before fearing the truth would hurt more than the rumors things are different now i want to
24:26find out the truth and clear my name i looked up at liam his eyes were very serious i want
24:32to find
24:33out the truth about what happened five years ago i will help you no matter who is behind this i
24:38will
24:38always stand by your side i reached out wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in my
24:43shoulder thank you you are my fiance your business is my business liam kept his word he used all his
24:50resources and began to look deeply into what had happened five years ago the spiking of my drink
24:55the secret photos the rumors the investors pulling out the trash talking all the clues pointed straight
25:01to the exact same family the kingsley family the kingsley's were ashton's biggest business rivals
25:06back then that year when ashton and i were getting ready to take our company public it messed with the
25:11kingsley's money they didn't want us to succeed they set a trap on purpose spiked my drink at the
25:17dinner party got someone to snap photos secretly and made fake pictures then they hired a pr company to
25:23spread them everywhere making up that whole fake photo scandal they ruined my name destroyed the
25:28company and forced ashton to dump me everything was done just to crush his business when i found out
25:33the truth my whole body shook five years i was blamed for five years cursed it for five years and
25:40suffered for five years it turned out the whole thing was just someone else's game from the very start
25:45liam held me tight his voice steady don't worry i will make them pay i won't let a single person
25:52who hurt you get away with it i leaned into his chest and my tears finally fell all the hurt
25:57pain
25:57and despair from those five years were completely let out at this moment liam held my face wiped away
26:03my tears and said firmly i will call a press conference i'll show all the proof to everyone
26:08and clear your name three days later the press conference was held at a top hotel in new york
26:14rich and famous people gathered and the cameras from big media firms were already pointing at the
26:19stage liam sat on the stage he looked powerful and his eyes were sharp and cold the screen lit up
26:26and the evidence started playing the security video from five years ago showed the kingsley's paying
26:31off a waiter to spike my drink the original files of the secretly recorded videos the chat logs and

28:16career over me it's just that i don't love you either when i said those words even i froze for
