Brier Maiden

Things were getting worse.

Some people were calling me names. More people were cursing Fredrick.

He not only cheated his fans, but he also made money without conscience.

This time, there was no way he was going to turn the tables.

I was fully prepared.

It didn't seem like he was going to clarify it either.

It was like he suddenly disappeared. No one could find him. No one waited for him to make a statement. Only the netizens were celebrating.

Late one night, Fredrick knocked on my door in a drunken stupor.

I told him to get lost. Otherwise, I would call the police.

He pressed himself against the security door and kept asking, "Why? Why? Why?"

"Rosie, it's not like that. That's not what happened to us."

I gave him an answer.

"My name used to be Zoey Paige."

I saw him frown through the peephole.

He couldn't remember who I was.

He couldn't remember what he had done to me.

"They used to call me the Fat Pig."

He stared at me with wide-open eyes.
