We walk to the forest to reach the gazebo. Our hands stay latched together like glue. He doesn't let go. Jace is so precious. Thanking me for choosing him for love, not money, was the most satisfying thing I've ever heard. I wonder where that came from. Why did he thank me? I swing our hands back and forth like a schoolgirl. "What made you want to thank me?"
"Just the greedy women from my past trying to make a come-up."
"What happened?" He pulls out a new phone to show me what's trending on Twitter. I read the headlines:
WOMAN BEATER
(Trending with Jace Harrison)
ABUSIVE BILLIONAIRE
(Trending with Jace Harrison)
RAPIST
(Trending with Jace Harrison)
BABY KILLER
(Trending with Jace Harrison)
PRO ABORTION
(Trending with Jace Harrison)
It's all lies. I know Jace is none of this. My baby doesn't give off an abusive vibe. I know what that looks like because of Brad. Same with the rapist rumor. Jace told me about it being roleplay with sick women. But roleplay is consensual. Also, my sis paid for a background check on him. Lil said he's clean. I dismiss the first two tags. The last two baffle me. Jace had a vasectomy....how is he a baby killer??? How is he pro-abortion???
Jace shakes his head. "Of course, this drops right before our wedding. The perfect timing to vilify my name. I'm sure it was plotted to drop the wedding viewership. The live stream is predicted to break the internet. So far the estimate is 4 billion."
"Who do you think set this up?" I gaze up at him.
"There's so many. Broadcast journalists. Business competitors. Trolls. Vengeful exes. Incels."
I let out a long huff. "Just ignore it."
"I can't ignore it. I had to respond for damage control and to clear my name."
"Those women are just out for the spotlight."
"Honestly, that's what it is."
"Let's unplug from technology." I power off both phones. "It's not worth the stress." I kiss his hand. "We can talk about what you said earlier," I smirk.
"Hmmm...I'm not sure what you mean." He taunts me.
"You are sure."
"I'm not." He plays dumb.
I roll my eyes. "How many dicks have been inside you?"
"I think you have the wrong guy." He toys with me.
