That morning… all of Avernon City whispered a single name.
It was on every screen, every radio station, and every social media feed.
SCANDAL OF THE CENTURY: CEO DEVANO'S MISTRESS REVEALED.LYANNA MIRELLE — THE SISTER-IN-LAW.
Anna's photo was everywhere. Her innocent face, her full name, her former university, and even her parents' home address were laid bare for the world to feast upon. Underneath, a cruel headline read:
FROM ORDINARY STUDENT TO BILLIONAIRE'S KEPT WOMAN.

Anna had just stepped out of the car in front of the mansion when the first scream hit her.
"THERE SHE IS!"
"YOU HOMEWRECKER!"
"HOW MUCH DID THE CEO PAY YOU, HUH?"
Dozens of reporters were already lying in wait. Cameras were shoved into her face, flashes strobing with brutal intensity. Anna recoiled in a panic.
"Please… I didn't—"
"IS IT TRUE YOU'RE A PAID WHORE?"
A microphone nearly brushed her lips.
"DID YOU KNOW HE WAS YOUR OWN SISTER'S HUSBAND?"
