Chapter 46
At the same time as my interview, I had no idea that Sabrina was livestreaming on her account, showing her fans that she was in the hospital and still depressed. Somehow, she knew about my interview with Catherine and was trying to stir up more drama or steal the spotlight.
Through Leo, Sabrina found out about Gabriel’s plans for that day and came up with a scheme to destroy me, making it seem like 1 seduced Gabriel and took him away from her.
She reassured her fans that she was okay, but the comments were filled with sympathy for her situation.
“Don’t worry, my fans. Gabriel and I will make up,” Sabrina said, though dark, red, swollen areas under her eyes made it clear she was far from okay and had been crying for too long. She looked genuinely depressed at that moment.
Meanwhile, many of the comments were attacking me.
“Please don’t be angry with Isabella. I’m sure she never intended for any of this to happen,” she said, like a kind protagonist who still manages to remain humble,
“Sabrina, don’t be so nice!”
“That’s right! That woman seduced Gabriel! There’s nothing decent about her
But then, one comment stopped Sabrina and her fans in their tracks:
“What do you mean Isabella seduced Gabriel? They were in a five–year relationship!”
“And what do you mean by that? Don’t badmouth Sabrina! Get out of this livestream!”
“Guys, head over to Catherine’s channel! There’s drama happening there!”
Sabrina had expected a different reaction. She knew neither Gabriel nor I would publicly reveal the truth about our relationship. But now, she was visibly embarrassed, her face flushing red as she realized the lies she’d been telling on her livestream were unraveling.
Meanwhile…
During Catherine’s interview show, I was shocked to see Gabriel there. There was no way they would have invited him just like that he must’ve done something reckless again. I thought Sabrina had some control over him.
“Gabriel, what are you doing here?” Lasked, the annoyance in my voice impossible to hide.
He looked surprised that I scolded him, but he still handed me the flowers and tried to justify his actions. “Isabella, I decided to make our relationship public.”
“But there’s nothing to make public, Gabriel. Aren’t we already separated?”
The host seemed shocked by my response and looked increasingly uncomfortable in her seat.
“I didn’t agree to it, Isabella, Gabriel shot back. “We were together for five years. Are you really just going to throw that all. away!“-His words were loud, as if he’d forgotten there were other people around us.
“Gabriel, why don’t you just let me go?” I asked, my voice calm. “You said it yourself: I was with you for five years. So, what did you do to our relationship? What did you do to me during those years!”
I took the opportunity when Gabriel fell silent. “Remember, you’re the one who hurt me! I gave up everything for you. I stayed at Golden Stage because you were there… I followed you even when the management and the crew treated me poorly. Did you forget, or should I remind you, that you postponed our wedding–Three. Different. Times?”

The memories were
(painful to recall. “Do you know how it felt when you told me Sabrina needed your support in the industry? Or every time you flaunted your fake relationship with her online? Do you understand how it felt when we were on set together, but your attention was always on her? You said it was just business, but it never felt that way”
Maybe because I was finally done with Gabriel, I said everything I needed to say. I wanted him to understand just how much of an asshole he had been in our relationship.
“What did you do the third time we were supposed to be in Colorado for our wedding, Gabriel! You know exactly what you did! You knew how you made a fool out of me, over and over, throughout our entire relationship!”
Gabriel stood frozen, the color draining from his face. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes, but I didn’t stop
“I’m not pretending, Gabriel! I’m not just acting like this is over. I broke up with you because I won’t waste another year of my life in a relationship going nowhere… with no future in sight…
“You stripped away every ounce of respect 1 had for myself from the moment you and Charlotte conspired to use me… You didn’t respect me when you gave Sabrina the jewelry design I created in college. You didn’t respect our relationship when you cheated on me the night before our wedding, Gabriel.”
Tears streamed down my face, not from lingering feelings for Gabriel but from the deep wound to my dignity as a woman.
“What do you want from me, Gabriel? Should I just wait around for you and the false dream you built for me? I’m done! I’m done being hurt. Please, just let me end our five years together.
“But I can’t! I love you, Isabella..” His words came out with desperation, his tears flowing uncontrollably. It was clear to everyone that his feelings were genuine. “I know I was wrong. I regret everything, and I plan to fix it now,”
He tried to bridge the distance between us, but I looked him dead in the eye.
“You don’t love me, Gabriel. If you really loved me, you wouldn’t have deceived me like that. You only love the idea of having me by your side, always willing to submit to your terms.”
He trembled, shaking his head as if he couldn’t accept what I’d said. I wiped the tears from my cheek.
Taking a deep breath to compose myself, I said softly, “I’m sorry, Catherine. I… I think I said things that weren’t appropriate. Can we postpone the taping for now? Let’s reschedule; I’m sorry..
As they processed what they had just learned, the shock from the people around us seemed to momentarily shift their focus away from the real situation. Gabriel’s face grew even paler.
“Isabella, w–we’re live today,” the director stuttered, and my world seemed to spin.
Live broadcast!
It hit me like a punch–everything I’d said had just been transmitted to thousands of viewers. I glanced at the monitor and
saw two pale faces staring back–Gabriel’s and mine, our private pain turned into a public display.
