After the Bloom,No Looking BackChapter 1
Five years of a secret marriage, and Ferdinand Sanchez had finally agreed to go public during my livestream.
I dressed to the nines and told my followers tonight's broadcast would have a surprise.
Ferdinand appeared on screen right on schedule, polite and distant.
"Good evening. Happy birthday, Ms. Winfield!"
I froze. This wasn't quite the declaration I'd been expecting.
The live chat exploded.
"Holy crap, that's Ferdinand Sanchez from Channel 5. THE Golden Voice. No way."
"Mr. Sanchez, what's your relationship with Jade Winfield? Why are you on her stream?"
I held my breath, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.
Then I heard his voice, cool as ice.
"Just a casual friend."
The chat went berserk.
"LOL, don't get your hopes up. Ferdinand belongs to our girl Vera."
"Their love story from the war zone nearly destroyed me. I sobbed for DAYS."
"Soulmates always find their way back. Vera literally announced she's moving home just an hour ago."
"The second she announces her return, he distances himself like this? They're SO meant to be. Turns out the clown was the streamer all along."
The entire internet was waiting for their fairy-tale reunion.
