Nathan kissed her forehead, then glared at me. "Get out, or I'm calling the police!"

To the receptionist, he barked, "Get security to throw this crazy woman out! Who knows what she'll do next? She might hurt other guests."

The crowd chimed in, "Kick her out, or we'll complain!"

The receptionist, flustered, radioed for security. Two burly guards grabbed my arms, dragging me toward the exit.

...

I struggled, my elbows bruising from their grip.

In the chaos, Carrie slipped closer and tripped me. Already off-balance, I crashed to the floor, my ankle swelling instantly and my knee scraping open, blood seeping through.

"Oops!" Carrie gasped, feigning innocence. "Are you okay? I was trying to help you, not make you fall."

I endured the pain, trying to stand but failed. Nathan looked on, utterly disappointing me.

I had no more hope for him. My hands shook as I fumbled for my phone to call 911. Before I could dial, he rushed forward and snatched it.

"What tricks are you trying again?" he sneered. "We all saw you fall on purpose to frame my wife and the hotel."

"I have a bleeding disorder!" I shouted, pain searing through me. "Call an ambulance!"

He didn't budge, tossing my phone across the lobby. The receptionist hesitated, wary of trouble.

Alone and helpless, I dragged myself toward my phone, using my uninjured leg for support. Then a sharp heel slammed onto my hand.

Carrie loomed over me. "Sign a statement admitting this was your fault, and I'll call an ambulance. Otherwise..."

She pressed harder, the pain shooting through my hand, mingling with the agony in my knee and ankle. My vision blurred from pain and rage.

Just as I thought I'd faint, sharp, purposeful high-heel clicks echoed from the entrance. Tracy stormed in, flanked by executives and security.

"Alva, I checked," she began. "That wretch has been cheating. He's used this hotel more times than you have in years, and he gave your VIP card to his mistress. I'm tearing him apart today."

Her voice cut off as she saw me crumpled on the floor, blood staining my skirt. The receptionist, who'd been so smug, went pale and stammered, "M-Ms. Frye?"

Breaking The Script: My Billionaire Husband

7.8

I was three million dollars in debt, forced by my agent to star in a reality show as the brainless gold-digger who married a decrepit billionaire. But right before the live broadcast, as I touched the tacky neon dress I was supposed to wear, a violent vision struck my brain. I realized my entire life was a script, and I was just a villainous side character designed to make America's Sweetheart look like a saint. My agent was secretly taking payouts from her PR firm to deliberately ruin my reputation with endless hate traffic. If I followed his orders today, I would be torn apart by the internet, lose every contract, and eventually die alone in a cheap motel. I couldn't accept that my every fake smile and stupid decision had been manipulated to destroy me just to elevate someone else. Why should I let them sell me out and turn my life into a complete joke? Looking at the ugly pink dress, I threw it straight into the trash. "You are fired, and my lawyers will be in touch about your offshore accounts." I poured a glass of freezing water over my head to wash away the heavy makeup and the helpless persona I had worn for years. I kicked out my backstabbing agent, put on a pair of plain black leggings, and walked out to face the live cameras. To hell with the script. Today, I was going to expose this fake PR marriage myself.
