At this point, Evelyn had uncovered who Camille was and her ultimate goal. She found out Camille was the slim blonde lady she caught sleeping with Mark.
Evelyn was under too much pressure with the whole mix up. Adrian's lawyers are taking her to court and now Camille is destroying what is left of her clinic.
She owned ClinoWest but she had investors and board members who had the right to make big decisions especially regarding the portrayed image of the clinic when necessary.
Unfortunately, they suspended her as the issue of her medical mistake gained popularity. They were scared the scandal would destroy the image of the clinic.
While under suspension, Evelyn had plenty of time to reflect on everything that had happened to her in recent times. She was filled with anger, regret and bottled up pain.
Anger towards her husband for cheating on her and ultimately throwing away their marriage of 5 years. Regret for her life altering and career destroying mistake.
Then the pain was for how the combination of everything had affected her negatively.
The room was a bit dark as Evelyn refused to pull back the curtains.
She chose to wallow in misery. Brightness only reminded her of the issues awaiting her outside.
So she simply closed the windows and stayed in the dark after the suspension. Her appetite was also affected so she began gaining weight while eating out of misery.
She had completely lost the zeal to even look after herself. She would go for days without taking a bath.
Her appearance didn't matter to her so she looked like someone who didn't care about looking good at all.
She felt she had lost everything so what was the point of even looking good. She discarded her morning routine as if it was nothing.
She stood by the mirror, scattered hair, bad breath with smelly armpits.
"Am sorry for what you're going through," Mark said to her from a distance across the room.
She couldn't see his face as he room wasn't bright enough. All she saw was his figure, tall and dark.
"You ruined my life just because you couldn't keep you pants on. I hope it was worth it," she said with a tone that signified she had given up on everything.
"Don't you blame this on me. I didn't ruin your life, the mistake you made did," he said, confidently defending himself.
"Oh yeah? Then who is the reason I was distracted enough to make such a big mistake?" she asked.
"I didn't come here to argue, I came to help you," he said, ignoring the question.
All he's done so far is complicate matters for her, I wonder what kind of help he was talking about.
"Did you know that the bitch you're screwing is responsible for the social media saga regarding the case? I wonder who gave her all the information she used."
"You can't help me Mark because you're literally the cause of my problems. I can,t bare to live with you any longer, I want you permanently out of this house in three days.
"You're kicking me out?" he asked. "Where will I stay?" he continued.
"With the one you're screwing, I don't know and I don't care, just be gone in three days. Ooh and expect divorce papers from me while you're at it," she said as she walked away from him.
Camille was still wrecking havoc as she leaks my identity in connection to Adrian directly to the media. This happened shortly after the viral video.
Lana was moved into one of Adrian's houses across town. It was a luxurious house so when she got there, she was in awe.
She moved around the house admiring the interior decoration. It was simple yet classy. The view as usual, was grand and privacy was topnotch.
She was pointing out to her mom the nice finishing of some of the designs when she heard a loud noise.
The noise came with a lot of wind. I watched curiously as the staff went out. It was a helicopter, this was the first time I saw one up close.
Adrian walked out with Adam. He gave some instructions to the guys before quickly walking into the house.
I couldn't make out what he said because of the noise. I began to wonder how he would react based on her recent action.
When Adrian got upstairs to where I was, he lashes out at her for allowing the drone operator to take a video of me.
"Writing that note was a stupid idea, because you just confirmed something that was just an assumption." he said angrily.
"When I wrote the note, I was only trying to defend myself. Have you even read the things they're saying about me? I was called a gold digger among many other terrible things" I lamented.
"It's the media Lana, they say mean things," he responded.
Surprisingly, beneath his anger, he saw me as the victim that I indeed was.
He genuinely felt bad for me and this helped him understand why I did what I did. It also made his anger towards her subside greatly.
"You need to remain here while I figure out a way to deal with this but in the mean time, don't say anything to the media," he said.
Being a billionaire in the tech space, he had been trained on how to handle media related matters but I wasn't. Which explained why I easily fell into their trap.
He orders Adam to bring everything I required to paint. He felt painting would help relieve the stress I was facing since she's passionate about painting.
Deep down, I was happy I resigned White Penny Schools where I taught. Imagine the bad attention all this would have brought to the school.
I went ahead to paint lovely pieces of art over time while Adrian continued to sort out the issues with the media the best way he could.
He first of all tried to pay the blogs to ignore the stories and push other topics instead. This didn't work because everyone was interested in the story.
He was a public figure who was very private about his life. This was the first time people had a glimpse about what his personal life was life.
They held onto the news like a little baby would do a new toy. They paid attention for new updates.
He tried to have a one on one meeting with Camille to find out what she wanted and how to make it all stop but Camille refused to grant him audience.
He was a little bit frustrated that Camille would betray him in thus manner but he didn't give up. He believed that everything had a price and all he had to do was find out what Camille's price was.
Camille leaked the story to shift public sympathy to herself. No one in the public knew she was the behind it all along.
The ones that knew didn't have enough evidence to trace anything to her.
She wanted the media to paint Lana a gold-digging surrogate and she, Adrian's innocent but badly-treated ex.
As much as she had frustrated Adrian and Lana, one expected what Camille did next.
