“No! It’s not possible! Lexi, wake up! You’re
too stubborn to die so easily!”
The reporters turned their cameras on Chad.
“What are you talking about? Lexi Miller is a
hero!”
“She risked her life on the front lines. She
faced death, horrible conditions, and the
hostility of the locals. But she never backed
down.”
“She showed the world the truth about war,
making people appreciate peace. And she never even told anyone who she was! She
was so humble.”
“We didn’t even know that Lexi was the ‘Rose
of the Battlefield‘ until she died! We won’t let
you disrespect her! Who do you think you
are?”
The insults and camera flashes came
crashing down on Chad.
He just stood there, dazed.
He was crying and laughing like a lunatic.
“So, she was a hero? She was a war
correspondent? Why didn’t she tell me?”
“My wife was amazing.”
His words were drowned out by the insults.
The top trending topic was: “War
Correspondent, ‘Rose of the Battlefield‘ Lexi
Miller Dies.”
The last trending topic was: “Medical Miracle:
Woman in Coma Gives Birth.”
When the reporters left, Brittany came out,
looking at Chad with pity.
She tried to help him up.
“Chad, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”
Chad didn’t even hear her.
<
He just kept repeating, “So, she’s really
dead?”
Brittany saw how upset Chad was about me and balled up her fists.
She wanted to shake him and scream at him.
“Yes, she’s dead! Her body has already been sent to the crematorium!”
Those words seemed to snap Chad out of it.
He stood up, heading toward the
crematorium.
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”
Brittany grabbed him.
She threw the death certificate at him.
“She’s dead. The doctor signed it. It’s
official.”
Chad picked up the certificate.
Tears streamed down his face.
Brittany had never seen him so broken.
She wanted to comfort him, but she knew
who Chad was crying for. She slowly lowered
her hand.
Chad grabbed Brittany.
“Brittany, she’s dead! It hurts so bad! What
am I going to do?”
Brittany finally spoke.
“It’s okay. You didn’t love her, right? And you
still have me and our baby.”
Chad pushed her away.
“No! She still has to make up for what she
did! Brittany, she hurt you! I need to bring her back, even if it’s just her ashes!”
Chad started running out of the hospital.
Brittany yelled after him.
“Chad! Do you want her back because she
hurt me, or because you love her?”
Chad stopped running.
く
“No, Brittany, I think I really do love her.”
Brittany felt her heart break.
Chad’s voice took on a new tone.
“I have to pay for my sins.”
While “War Correspondent, ‘Rose of the Battlefield“” was trending, people started digging up dirt on the past.
They found a video of my wedding, where I
was violated.
Even though it was blurred, everyone knew
how painful it must have been.
And people were laughing.
L
And people were laughing.
The internet exploded.
People found the original post and the people
involved.
Chad was getting roasted, people were
cursing his entire family.
The people who liked the post started
apologizing.
“We didn’t know it was Lexi Miller! If we
knew, we never would have liked the post.”
But no one accepted the apologies.
People were furious.

“So, if she was just a regular person, you
could make fun of her? Any woman deserves
respect.‘
Everyone started calling Chad names and
cancelling his sponsorships.
Chad, who had been hiding at home, finally
came out.
He started a livestream.
As soon as it started, almost 100,000 people
joined.
Before Chad could speak, the chat was
flooded with insults.
“How dare you show your face? Are you
く
desperate for attention?”
“Are you trying to make money off her
death?”
“What do you have to say for yourself?”
Chad’s eyes were red. He took a deep breath
and confessed everything.
“I ordered the violation because Lexi put my
sister in a coma, and I was angry.”
“And I hired someone to stab Lexi in the
hospital…”
Brittany suddenly appeared.
She tried to cover Chad’s mouth and begged
him to stop.
“Chad, stop talking! You’re going to go to
prison.”
Chad shook his head and pushed her away.
“No, I have to.”
He continued, revealing the truth.
“My sister was pregnant, and I wanted her child to be the first heir. That’s why I hurt
Lexi, so she couldn’t have kids.”
The livestream went crazy.
People were shocked.
“That’s attempted murder! Call the cops!”
“You’re disgusting! You’re not even worth
Lexi’s hair!”
Chad was ready to die.
“I did it all. It’s my fault.”
“I wanted her to stay with me forever. I’m
guilty and deserve to be punished!”
The cops showed up and arrested Chad.
Everyone celebrated.
“Rot in prison!”
The cops looked at Chad with disgust.
When they got to the station, he was charged
with assault.
<
Chad stood up, grabbing the cop’s arm.
“Is Lexi still alive? Tell me!”
The cop looked shocked, then expressionless.
“No, you’re wrong. Lexi Miller died at your
hands.”
Chad shook his head.
“No! You’re only charging me with assault! It
would have been homicide.”
The cop pried Chad’s hand away.
“You’re overthinking things. Lexi’s dead.”
