Chapter 3My Husband is a Mega Celeb

"Sarah, are you out of your mind? Why did you retweet Summer Shade?"

"Even if you hate her, you shouldn't be using your main account to start drama. What are you going to do now?"

"Do you remember what our contract says? Do you remember your advertising deals?"

Of course I did. When I signed, the company said I needed to be a role model. I couldn't do anything illegal, reply to rumors, or do anything that would create a bad image.

In three years, I had become famous for my gaming skills and commentary, earning a lot of fans, and getting a few advertising deals. There were a lot of female commentators who were jealous, including Summer Shade.

She didn't have the skills, but she had a killer body. Her sexy commentary and barely-there outfits won over a lot of fans.

We stayed out of each other's way, but she kept trying to start something.

I wanted to fight back, but I had to think about my contract and my career.

But it was over. I didn't need to put up with this anymore.

I could pay the fine.

It wasn't like I couldn't afford it.

I could quit.

It wasn't like I could only do this.

I could fight back.

It wasn't like I couldn't hire a social media team.

But Nate's one tweet was going to cost me millions, and endless trouble. I still felt a little resentful and stressed.

That money should come out of Nate's pocket.

Why was I suffering for his actions?

I put my hand over the phone.

"Give me ten million dollars! Not a penny less!"

Nate blinked, then perked up.

"You're finally going to use my money? No problem! Here's all my credit cards!"

He came over to hug me.

I held him back.

I cleared my throat and told Brenda.

"I'll pay the penalty."

"What?"

"I'm quitting. Have the legal department get ready, I'll pay in full."

Brenda didn't know that my dad was a mining tycoon, and thought I was just mad at the company. She tried to talk me down.

"Don't be crazy. Where are you going to get that kind of money?"

"I have it."

"You have it? You're not worth that much! Don't mess around, I'm trying to work here! I'll call you back!"

Brenda was a tough cookie. Without even listening to me, she decided to call the company and negotiate.

It was late, and I was really tired. I didn't feel like explaining that I was actually rich. So I just let her do what she wanted.

Nate, though, heard I was quitting, and started grinning.

"Haha! You're finally leaving eSports!"

"Haha! Great! We can be together!"

Nate didn't want me to join the eSports scene in the first place. He said it was a den of wolves. He knew I was pretty, and guys would try to take advantage of me. When he found out I was pregnant, he wanted to run over to my company and cancel my contract.

I insisted on trying it out, so he let me.

Now, he was getting his way.

The next afternoon, Brenda called to say she had worked out a deal with the company.

They would let me join an eSports show, while I was still popular. Since I was going the trashy route, it was perfect.

The most important thing was that Summer Shade would be on the show too.

The two of us together would create crazy buzz, and the show might be a hit.

Being famous was the most important thing.

Afraid that I would refuse, Brenda pleaded.

"Sarah, this is the best I can get for you. Why don't you just try it?"

When I found out that Summer Shade would be there, I agreed without even thinking.

She said I was leeching off her fame?

I'd show everyone who was leeching off who!

I told my team to start collecting evidence. I was going to fight back!

Brenda thought I was crazy, but she had no choice.
