Dangerously in Love

Aftermath

July 15th 2020 – 2nd August 2020

That's how long Ivan blocked her. He said that he would be back to return her money and that is why after she changed her numbers, she went back and change to the old ones. Because she was waiting for him.

Minutes before he blocked her, she screen recorded their conversation so she could cherished them into her memory. But after he blocked her, her heart just went numb.

Life without Ivan is empty. She tries to fill in the blanks with keeping herself busy with her new apartment and her job as a personal assistant. She has lost interest in continuing writing her book, her love story with Ivan because she felt it's pointless and heart breaking.

She tries to celebrate her brother's birthday with joy, but she kept on checking her WhatsApp like Ivan is still there for her, like she is addicted to him, but nothing comes out.

She misses her special custom tone that she made just for Ivan. She misses the sound of the text tone. She just misses him in general. But she knows that this thing is happening.

During the blocked, she receives a strange DM from BATEC and a DM from a guy name Benjamin Callum who strangely types like Ivan. Either she is hallucinating because she misses Ivan badly or Ivan is pretending to be someone else because this guy literary types like Ivan and she can feel it in her bones. His reasoning also a bit strange like the way he found her Instagram username also strange and not long after that this guy BATEC came over on her DM, threatening her of stuff and she just blocks him.

Not long after that, she receives a threat from a guy name Anyekov Bricks, a sextortion threat that her nudes would be spread to her followers on Instagram. She knows that she wouldn't give in to that threat. So she ignores it.

The next following day, this Anyekov Bricks guy tries to email her again about his threat. She knew in her heart that this guy who threatens her types like Ivan and she can feel the same energy coming from the way this guy types. It reminds her of the way Ivan types. She ignores it because she knew that only Ivan that has her nudes, so she knew that it wasn't hacked. She tries to be cool with it and she decided to delete everything. Her email, her Facebook, her famous Instagram, her twitter, change her numbers, everything. Leaving no trace behind.

She also consults her sister and her best friend Mark in what to do for the next steps and they give her loads of resources to cope with the blackmail.

She reported the extortion email to IC3 – a FBI Internet Crime division alongside with the proof of screenshot.

She also keeps it low profile this time with her social media. She chooses to be ghosting out from social media until she knew that she is safe.

She also consulted with different Psychic guidance and they told her that Ivan would be back in her life and try to be warmth with her again. At this point in time, she is still waiting for him.

Every night, she remembers her chats with him. She even questioned herself, why is Ivan appears in her life? Every night, before her sleep, it's like she is dancing with his ghost – ghost as a metaphor of the memory of the five months they spent together.

She tries to move on, met a guy through tinder, but this guy knew that she still has feelings for Ivan. Like she gave this tinder guy a half heart while he wants a full heart from her. She can't give it to this tinder guy because even though she tries to move on from Ivan, she still have residual feelings towards him.

As she waited for his text, she also tries to move on from Ivan.

When she was ready to let Ivan go, on 2nd of August 2020, while her mind is like or connected to Ivan like 'I want to pray for Ivan' – as she checked her second line phone, out of nowhere, he appears again in her life.
