Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 268: Got Lucky



Chapter 268: Got Lucky

Katherine didn’t know what possessed her to do it. Maybe curiosity? Or masochism… She needed to know what people were saying about her. No, not her as an ‘influencer’ but as Cage’s significant other. Nobody knew her identity and she really thought it wouldn’t hurt her. She went on forums and news articles searching through the comments and chats to see what they were saying about her.

She braced herself for the impact as she went in.

[Imagine settling for a nobody when he could have any woman in the world. Maybe the tryst with Keira has traumatized him too much. He should definitely resolve his underlying issues with her and get back together.]

Katherine blinked in surprise. Well, she expected people to call her a nobody because that was exactly who she was but to condemn him and his mental health, telling him that he should get together with Keira. She didn’t expect any fans to talk this way about their idol.

[Well, this girl will never look good on his arm. The hottest man on the planet, settling for a plain Jane. What a sad fate.]

How did they know how she looked? For all they knew, she was a goddess and way better than those celebrities. They didn’t know a thing about her!

[Some bitch got lucky! Well, if he wants to settle for trash, let him have a try.]

Trash? Did they just call her trash? She might not be a celebrity but she was nowhere near trash. Moreover, the gall of some people to call people less than themselves. How entitled does one need to be to think of someone as below them. If anyone should be called trash, it should be them.

[What happened to Julia? They look so good together.]

Well, that comment wasn’t that bad. Only if Julia remained a well-meaning friend and didn’t try to sabotage them.

[Lucky girl. Now that Cage has started dating fans, maybe he’ll get addicted and start dating more? Form a line, ladies!]

Katherine wanted to throw something.

‘Well, ladies, it’s going to be a long wait. You’ll be turning in your graves by the time we separate.’ She scoffed. The next comment shocked her.

[Sluts do well in life. Like this one.]

A slut? What was wrong with these people?

[Did you see the girl that have been associated with him? Ugly looking trailer trash that look like they are over the moon because Cage gave them the time of the day. Imagine being that thirsty for attention. Even I am prettier than those girls. Hope he is going through troubled times and gets a hang of himself. Can’t see Cage ruining his life like this.]

Katherine felt tears stinging her eyes as comment after comment condemned their relationship. It seemed like these people wanted to put her down simply because she was in a relationship with Cage. It made zero sense for them to talk about her this way without knowing a thing about her.

She wondered if she would have been the same. Would she have cursed the girl Cage was dating if they had never met? Was she one of those toxic people who would make someone’s life miserable because they didn’t believe in the choices of a celebrity? She had hated Keira but only when the pictures of her cheating had come out. She had hated Keira more when she found out what the woman had done. But in the beginning, she had only shrugged and said that she would accept whomever Cage chose to be with. If he was dating anyone and was happy about it, she had faith that she would be glad for his sake. She would be supportive and fight off the haters.

Maybe she would be slightly jealous but that was how fans were… the healthy kind. She wouldn’t have gone out of her way to slander and trash Cage’s girlfriend.

Her head seemed to be underwater. A faraway voice pulled her out of her thoughts. She turned back and asked what was up.

Lily’s brow scrunched up as she looked at Katherine’s face. “What the hell is wrong with you?” she demanded, crossing her hands over her chest. She could sense that something was amiss and the conversation would be long.

Katherine looked at her and shook her head. “It’s nothing. Just some fans bashing me online.”

“Who?” She seethed, her face turning stormy and she stomped into the room. “Is it because of that Ian bastard who spread fake relationship rumors about you?” She growled as she came closer. “I swear to god, I will flatten that bastard if he doesn’t stop with nonsense and take a scalpel to his balls.” From her tone, one could gauge that Lily wasn’t lying.

“Not Ian. Cage’s fans,” she informed. She genuinely felt a little fear for Ian’s life. Just for a second though. Katherine turned the monitor towards Lily as she pointed towards the comments. “Why would they say this stuff?” she whispered, a strand of pain evident in her voice. “They don’t even know me.”

Lily grabbed the laptop and started going through all the tabs Katherine had opened. Her brows scrunched further and it was almost like steam would come out of her ears if she got angrier. “Who do this shit faces think they are?” she screeched. “I’m going to find them, hunt them and then pummel them until they can’t say such nonsense about you.” Her eyes spewed fire. 

Katherine was slightly worried that Lily had entered her threaten the opponent phase and it usually didn’t end well for the opponent. She was more discreet about revenge than Angelina. At least, Lily wouldn’t end up in jail for whatever she did.

“Do we know anyone who can hack into their accounts and create havoc?” she commented with a hint of malice. Katherine shook her head.

“That’s not how hacking works. Also, what use will that do? They won’t learn a lesson.” Katherine felt slightly embarrassed to bite back at these people. She might have felt better but dissuading her friend from doing something stupid was far more important than her pride.
