I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 211

I took his phone. A steamy video was at the top of the trending list. A woman with bare shoulders had her arms wrapped around a shirtless man’s neck as they kissed passionately.

The image was blurry, and the faces were pixelated, but the headline was glaring: “Aether Studio CEO Mr. Lancaster’s Secret Wife Caught in Steamy Car Tryst with Muscular Man—Cheating Scandal Confirmed.”

I was stunned.

Wow. It had probably been less than two hours since I gave the video to the reporter. I knew Steven would find out quickly, but I never expected it to blow up this fast.

If I had known it would be this effective, I would have released it myself. Maybe I could have even started a livestreaming business and made a fortune. I’d heard you could earn more doing that than I could in a hundred years as a designer. I was envious.

My mind wandered to moneymaking schemes, but a glance at Steven’s increasingly thunderous expression snapped me back to reality. I smiled sweetly at him.

“I did. Isn’t the headline catchy? Look at the numbers—it’s the number one trending topic.”

Steven’s voice was low and rough. “Zephyra.”

His tone was laced with fury, his narrowed eyes glinting with a dangerous light.

“That woman in the video isn’t you. Why did you do this?”

Oh, crap.

The smile froze on my face. I looked down at the grainy video, which I had painstakingly selected and edited for two days to make it as blurry as possible. How could he tell it wasn’t me with just a glance?

“Do you have X-ray vision or something? How can you possibly tell that’s not me?”
