After secretly marrying an eSports King, I’m owning all the fangirls
My sister-in-law's rant about me went viral.
"She's using her pregnancy as an excuse to act like a queen! She's making you rub her feet every day! You married a freakin' servant!"
"I like it!"
In the video, the eSports Prince was ordering Epsom salts online.
That night, a curvy eSports streamer fired back with a pregnancy test picture.
"Foot rubs are nothing. You should see him washing my whole body!"
The internet exploded! Everyone praised Sarah for being a boss.
I slapped the arm of the guy rubbing my feet, Nate.
"Why didn't I know you were giving other people body washes? Get out!"

Late at night, after finishing some take-out, I was about to jump into a game.
A notification popped up.
#Curvy eSports Goddess Summer Shade-Throws Rich Sister-in-Law#
I frowned. What money-grubbing scheme was this chick up to now? Probably another self-made drama. I was about to close it, but I clicked on it by mistake.
After reading it, I was wide awake.
Summer Shade was pregnant?
Wasn't she all about wanting to marry only Nate?
Wait… Wasn't that my sister-in-law in the video? What was she doing as Summer's "rich sister-in-law?"
Was Nate cheating on me?
I looked over at Nate, rubbing my feet.
If it wasn't him, it was probably just the media making stuff up.
They never got anything right.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have become the most hated player on the eSports scene.
I opened up Twitter.
The trending topics made my jaw drop.
#Nate & Summer Dating Announcement!#
#Curvy Goddess Summer Shades the Haters#
#eSports Power Couple! Prince & Queen Officially Together#
...
I scrolled down and saw that Summer Shade was planting ideas in her fans' heads.
Fan 1: "Summer, is that pregnancy test real?"
Summer: "Realer than diamonds."
Fan 2: "Was your account hacked?"
Summer: "Totally me."
Fan 3: "Is the baby's daddy the eSports Prince, Nate?"
Summer: "Keep it on the DL."
...
I was pretty sure that Summer Shade was serious. She was all-in on this.
As Summer's replies came out, more and more topics started trending.
Soon, her fans were demanding that Nate officially claim her.
But he was notoriously aloof. He never used Twitter. He even shut down the fan club his fans created for him. They couldn't get to Nate, so they swarmed Summer.
Her reply was: [Guys, chill. Even princes get shy. ;)].
I looked over at Nate, still rubbing my feet.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
I kicked him off the couch.
Nate looked at me, confused.
"Babe, what's wrong?"
He had a look of hurt in his eyes, like a lost puppy. He was such a two-faced guy. During tournaments, he was cold as ice. But with me, he was like a magnet.
That's how he got me in the first place. I couldn't resist his charm, I couldn't stand to see him sad, and he took advantage of it.
I threw my phone at him.
"Why didn't I know you were giving other people body washes? Get out!"
Nate's eyes widened. He started reading the phone.
"Who is this chick? She's just trying to get famous."
I didn't say anything, just gave him a questioning look.
Nate turned pale. He looked at me, panicked and hurt.
"Babe, I swear I don't know her. No, I've never even seen her. I swear on my life."
He got down on his knees.
