The next morning, Lily woke up to her phone vibrating so aggressively on the bedside table that the entire surface trembled like it had been possessed.
Her eyelids were heavy. Her hair was a mess. She hadn't even fully opened her eyes when—
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Twenty notifications.
Then thirty.
Then fifty.
She dragged her hand across the bed, grabbed her phone, and squinted at the bright screen.
And then she saw it.
#LilyMartinsBulliesDisabledHusband
#MollyIsTheRealVictim
#JacobCrossDeservesBetter
And the ultimate cherry on the cake:
#DivorceHimIfYouHateHimSoMuch
Lily sat up, hair exploding in all directions like she'd been electrocuted.
"…HUH?"
She tapped one of the trending links.
And there it was.
The edited video.
Molly's masterpiece of selective cutting.
THE EDITED VIDEO
• Lily crying pitifully… cut to make it look dramatic and manipulative
• Jacob frowning but with no audio — making it seem like he was "enduring her tantrums"
