My rage peaked when I spotted the headlines.
It was one thing for Alexandria to target Caleb and me, but fabricating stories about Abby was crossing a line.
Alexandrias ploy had worked. I was incensed.
While I pondered my next move, whether to refute or retaliate, my phone rang. It was Caleb.
Hed obviously seen the trending scandal. Without hesitation, he said, Ignore the chaos online. Dont let it get to you. Im on it.
His words calmed me somewhat, prompting me to ask, Do you have a plan?

His tone chilled. Im aware of what happened when you were in the witch clan and that Abby is my daughter. Ill set the record straight at a press conference and have someone warn Alexandria. If she persists with her fabrications online, I wont hesitate to detain her.
I couldnt suppress a chuckle. Despite the discomfort of the rumors, knowing Caleb stood firmly by my side was reassuring.
My mood Lifted slightly, and my tone was noticeably calmer. Actually, theres no need to confront Alexandria right now or to clear anything up. Im more interested in finding out what she truly wants and what grievances she still holds against us.
Caleb, however, didnt see it my way. He responded with a worried expression, No, I cant agree. Im too concerned about you and Abby. I cant bear the thought of either of you enduring this situation a moment longer.
I retorted, I dont even know these people online. They can say whatever they like. No matter how many of them criticize me on the internet, it wont impact our lives.

But Calebs worry lingered.
I reassured him, Dont fret. Lets just sit back and watch Alexandria unravel. Shes only hurting herself with her actions.
Eventually, Caleb let himself be convinced by my perspective and decided to disregard the online rumors for the time being.
Meanwhile, Alexandria continued to sponsor trending searches. Scandals about Calebs past relationships and my own troubled history were dragged into the Light.
The online community rallied behind Alexandria, perhaps inflating her ego. She boasted during a live stream that only a woman of her caliber was truly suitable for Caleb.
Debras POV:
During the live stream, Alexandria looked pale as a ghost, clearly not fully recovered. Yet, she pushed through and made a big show of staking her claim on Caleb.
Watching it all on my phone, I couldnt stop laughing.
Caleb feared the online drama would upset me, so he ditched work to stay home with me today.
When he heard me laughing so hard, he asked, What are you looking at? Whats so funny?
But as soon as he saw Alexandria on the screen, his face darkened.
Stop watching her. Shes nuts. Whats so funny about this?
But I didnt see it that way. I smiled and said, Why wouldnt I watch it? Im curious to see what Alexandria will say next. Maybe shell accuse you of sleeping with her and then ditching her. Or shell keep talking about my engagement to Andrew or Abbys identity.
