You’ll be alright.”
The following day, the day Luther’s ultimatum to Stella expired, a press conference was scheduled to take place on Aurora Avenue.
Journalists flooded the venue, setting up cameras and microphones behind a barricade of fencing. Curious onlookers gathered around the perimeter of the square.
The space was already packed with anticipation three hours before the event.
Whispers swirled through the crowd. “Haven’t heard from Stella in days. Wonder what’s happening today?”
“I don’t believe she’d do it. She wouldn’t cheat on a husband like Matthew. Half the town would kill for that!”
“You never know. People can be surprising.”
“Well, we’ll find out soon enough. If the rumors are true, she can ki*s her reputation goodbye.”
As the press conference drew closer, the murmurings in the crowd intensified.
Suddenly, a convoy of vans pulled up at the edge of the square.
Doors slid open, disgorging a group of reporters who strode confidently towards the center of the gathering.
Their microphones, emblazoned with the logo of Seamarsh’s most esteemed media outlet, left no room for doubt about their importance.

The seasoned journalists commanded immediate respect, and the crowd parted seamlessly to allow them passage.
Elizabeth was the first to arrive at the venue. As soon as she got out of the car, a battery of journalists swarmed over and surrounded her. They aimed their cameras and microphones at her and bombarded her with questions.
Elizabeth wore huge sunglasses, covering her eyes and almost half her face. As she spoke softly in front of the reporters, she projected an image of vulnerability.
“I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist these days because I am having sleepless nights. I’m not asking for too much. All I hope is to get an apology from Stella.”
She looked so fragile that the people from the media immediately empathized with her.
“Elizabeth, are you really not going to hold Stella accountable?”
“Is someone forcing you to forgive Stella?”
Elizabeth was delighted inwardly. She was satisfied with the media’s reaction. Before the press conference could even begin, she had already made the reporters hate Stella. They were all against Stella now.
But while she was celebrating inside her, several more reporters squeezed their way through the throng.

Elizabeth immediately recognized them. They were Seamarsh’s top reporters. She adjusted her expression and prepared herself for the impending barrage of questions.
The lead reporter raised the microphone in his hand, aimed it at Elizabeth, and asked, “In this tragic situation, shouldn’t Leo bear the brunt of blame? Why do you mislead these reporters to unjustly pin all the blame on Stella?”
A hint of panic flashed across Elizabeth’s eyes.
