Massive Diamond, Bye Ex!
Chapter 1
My fiancé would do anything for his so-called niece. If she asked for the stars, he wouldn't give her the moon. To the extent that he swapped out a role I worked so hard to obtain just because she pouted for it.
When I confronted him in despair, Grant Donovan responded with, "She is the rose I raised with my own hands. Of course, she deserves the best. Why are you, as her elder, competing with a child?"
"And if you continue behaving like this, the wedding in ten days is off!"
Fine, then we won't get married.
I booked a flight for ten days later to star as the leading actress in a new movie abroad. At the wedding ceremony, absent a bride, he completely broke down. When he found me leaning against Movie Star's shoulder, I raised my massive diamond-adorned ring finger at him, saying, "Go live with your little rose, ex-husband."

Donovan and his niece Lila hit the trending list together.
"Miss Lena, CEO Donovan is more attentive to outsiders than he is to you..." My assistant Hailey didn't finish her sentence, fearing it might upset me.
I know... Donovan, my fiancé. His most cherished person is his niece Lila, who doesn't share a drop of blood with him. Even I, his fiancée for three years, can't compare to her in any way.
When Hailey showed me the trending topic, I merely nodded calmly. After all, it wasn’t the first time such a thing had happened. Previously, Donovan kept a low profile to the extent that no one could find a single frontal photo of him online. Now, for Lila's career, he rushed to stand in the spotlight and keep her relevant.
People always yearn for the life and persona of the wealthy. Probably, this fanfare is because there's a new show coming up.
But soon enough, I couldn't even force a smile.
Because her trending makeup photo was from the new show I had already negotiated for.
The fan group exploded, and even my comment section was swamped.
My fans and Lila's fans were cursing each other, a fierce battle ensued in the comments section.
To fit into this role, I sacrificed two other movies to free up my schedule and gained ten pounds.
The final trending topic that day was: #LilaOutshinesTheMoveQueen_SecuresLeadRoleIn_WhenLoveIsLost
I dialed the director's number.
"Why is the official announcement for the lead actress showing Lila instead of me?"
"Did Donovan reach out to you? How much did he pay?"
Lila wasn't even among the actors auditioning for the role. Also, my contract’s penalty fee is exorbitantly high. It’s obvious Donovan had a hand in it.
The person on the other end clearly didn’t expect my blunt question.
My relationship with Donovan isn’t public. Except for a few close acquaintances, nobody knows.
To the director, I appear as a poor soul inexplicably robbed of an opportunity.
He tried his best to say something to comfort me.
"Lena, listen to me..."
"I know you've been preparing for a long time..."
I interrupted him, "Director Chen, we signed a contract."
He hesitated before speaking again, subtly mentioning it was the investor's decision.
He doesn't have the authority, but he assured me we would work together on the next project and advised caution, as angering capital could destroy my career.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Capital?
The largest investor in this project is my soon-to-be ex-fiancé.
