She dropped to her knees.
“No, it wasn’t me!” she cried.
“Mandy photoshopped everything! She’s just
afraid of dying so she’s trying to blame me!”
“I only logged into the account today, I swear!”
Tears streamed down her face as she turned to
Tom.
Г
“Tom, say something!”
“You can’t leave me! You were also apart of
this!”
Before she could finish the dad stabbed her.
Jessica’s eyes widened in shock and terror, her
face twisted in agony.
She tried to dodge, but the attack was too fast.
Blood spurted from the wound, staining her
clothes and the floor.
With each stab, Jessica groaned in pain and the
dad roared with rage.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden violence.
Some screamed.

No one dared to stop him, not even Tom.
Jessica struggled, but the scalding clam
chowder was poured over her head.
She passed out immediately.
Does it hurt?
I was in so much pain when I died.
I begged Jessica to explain for me, but she
stood by and watched me being stabbed to death.

Watching Jessica suffer my pain made me feel amazing.
But she was not the only one to hurt me.
I turned to Tom, who was shaking.
“Honey, Jessica just said you were involved,” I
“Did you know about all of this?”

I shook him hard.
“Tom, say something!”
“What does Jessica mean?”
“Were you in on it, too?”
My voice was loud, and everyone was watching
- us.
The girl’s dad threw down the knife, his hands
covered in blood, and grabbed Tom by the
collar.
He glared at him.
“That b*tch had an accomplice?”

“Tell me what the hell is going on!”
“Or you’re next!”
The girl’s mom pushed me aside and grabbed
Tom.
“What does this mean?”
“Were you planning this all along?”
“What were you trying to do?”
Tom was pale and sweating.
He glanced at Jessica, then his legs went weak.
“Dude, calm down!”
“I had no idea what Jessica was doing.”
“I thought you were close to that b*tch?”

“You were so quick to believe everything she
said!”
I snorted to myself.
Even a stranger could see it.
I’d been blind for years.
Tom was never supportive of my content
creation.
He said it was embarrassing.
If the relatives back home saw, he’d be too
ashamed to go back for Christmas.
Someone accused me of making inappropriate
content and he didn’t defend me.
He just fought with me.

I had been trying to start a family with him, and
I am devastated.
As my account grew, he changed his tune and
let me keep going.
He just wanted to get with my best friend.
I wouldn’t let them get away with what they did.
“Honey, you should show everyone your phone,
too.”
“Otherwise, they won’t let you go, and we’ll all
need to show the girl’s family that we will get
justice.
Tom stared at me in horror, as if to say: why
did you say that!
I never checked his phone, so he probably never
deleted any messages.
Г
Tom’s eyes darted around.
“I… there’s nothing to see.”
“It’s a violation of privacy!”
“It’s illegal to look through someone else’s phone!”
The employees gossiped.
“Why does Tom look so guilty?”
“Did you see how Jessica grabbed his arm?”
“They must be having an affair!”
“That would explain why Jessica borrowed
Mandy’s account to mess with people, then
lured them to the office to get Mandy killed.”
“Yeah, if it wasn’t for that brand rep, Mandy
would be dead!”

“This is insane! They were plotting to kill Mandy
so they could inherit the company and be
together!”
I pretended to be shocked, tears welling up in
my eyes.
“Tom, is that true?”

Tom screamed at the employees.
“Shut up! All of you, shut up!”
“I don’t know!”
“I swear, I didn’t know!”
“Honey, you have to believe me!”
