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!" 1 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. 2 I knew Nate wouldn't cheat on me. Before I said yes, he had a crush on me for eight years, liking everything I posted on social media. After we both got famous, I set my privacy settings so only close friends could see my posts, to keep our relationship secret. Ever since we got together, he was always with me. That's why my sister-in-law suddenly didn't like me. She thought her brother had forgotten about his family after getting a girlfriend. The truth is, this curvy streamer, with her 36DDs, was always trying to get Nate's attention. Whenever she watched him play, she'd take pictures from just the right angle, so everyone would think they were an item. Nate ignored her, but I hated it. I was thinking about what to do when I saw Nate grab my phone and start typing. Before I could stop him, it was too late. Nate had retweeted Summer Shade using my Twitter account. He wrote: "Stop trying to use me. With that fake plastic face, the eSports Prince wouldn't touch you with a ten-foot pole." My brain was about to explode. How could he be so reckless? I grabbed my phone, ready to cry. "Are you kidding me? If you want to start something, do it on your own account!" "You're making me look bad!" Nate silently bit his lip, looking guilty. "Didn't you tell me not to use Twitter? I don't have an account. Not a real one, and definitely not a fake one!" I remembered that when I decided to join the eSports scene, I gave him a list of rules. Don't tell anyone we're together. (His fangirls would kill me.) Don't help me behind the scenes. (I want to succeed on my own.) Don't post anything about me on social media. (Keep it low-key, and the fans won't notice.) If he couldn't follow those rules, we couldn't be together. So, only our families knew we were dating. No one in the eSports scene knew. Nate thought it was pointless, so he deleted Twitter, and never posted anything, ever. I sighed, and got ready for the storm. His reply blew up on Twitter. Summer Shade's fans swarmed my account, sending me hate messages. Everything you could think of, classy and trashy. "Who do you think you are? Calling Summer plastic? Look at yourself!" "Low-class, jealous bitch. You're just coming out to bite." "The eSports Prince and Summer are a real couple. You're just a jealous hater!" "Old hag needs to give it up. Your dead fish face isn't fooling anyone. Stop trying to be relevant." ... As Summer's rival, I was used to this stuff. They called me the Ice Queen of eSports. I almost never interacted with anyone, just playing and commentating. Nate was a lot like that. But Summer's fans accused me of trying to copy Nate and steal Summer's man! I was tired of being targetted. While I was trying to figure out what to do, Summer Shade herself commented on my tweet. "Nobody even knows who you are." It was like she was spitting in my face. In this industry, you just didn't publicly attack someone. There were too many things at stake. Everyone usually threw shade discreetly. You didn't make it public. Summer and I were directly at each other's throats, like a soap opera. If I replied, I'd be giving her exactly what she wanted. Attention. If I didn't reply, it would look like I was weak. It was frustrating. This was the first time Summer and I had publicly clashed. My agency would be pissed. Sure enough, my agent, Brenda, called me right away. 3 "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. 4 On the day the show started filming, the eSports Prince showed up, and the internet exploded. The show grabbed onto the attention and used it to promote the show. Before I even came out, I saw the crazy comments on my phone. "OMG, Nate's really here!" "Total Prince Charming! Summer's so lucky!" "Haha, is he going to do another body wash?" "He came all the way to the show! He's in love!" ... Then it was Summer's turn. She was wearing almost nothing, with her boobs practically falling out. She walked in and saw Nate sitting on the couch, glaring at her. Summer looked shy and lowered her head as she walked past Nate. She even paused for a second, to let the fans take pictures of them together. The host called her over, and she finally sat down. Nate saw her sitting next to him, and he stood up and moved one seat over. The fans thought it was a cute lover's spat. "Cold on the outside, passionate on the inside! The eSports Prince is two different people! And Summer is all about passion on the outside, and a traditional girl on the inside! They're a perfect match!" "I can't wait to see them flirt on the show! Go Summer!" "OMG, the couple finally met!" "So hot, I'm drooling!" ... I frowned. The fans would ship anything. When it was my turn to come out, the comments changed. "WTF, what's she doing here?" "Gross. Why is Sarah always everywhere? Trying to take Summer's spotlight again!" "I always thought the rumors about her riding Summer's coattails were just rumors, but it's true! This girl is desperate." "Did the show not check her rep? Why are they inviting every random person?" "This woman is so shameless. These two are a couple, what's she doing here?" But some of my fans stood up for me. "What's wrong with her being here? It's a competition show, and Sarah has the best skills! Some people just take their clothes off to get famous!" "Summer only got famous by riding on Sarah's fame! Who's obsessed with who?" "Aww, our Sarah doesn't have the connections, and can't shake off the haters." The fans were fighting, and things were getting heated. The host got a message and told me to sit down. I looked left and right, and sat down next to Nate. Nate looked at me and gave me a sly smile. I glared at him, and he immediately looked away. So, the seating arrangement was me and Nate together, and Summer Shade sitting alone in the corner. The comments went crazy: "Is this girl crazy? What's she doing sitting next to Nate? Trying to steal Summer's man?" "Sarah's trying to be the other woman! Like the eSports Prince would even give her a second glance." "Nate is so tolerant, getting glared at and not even getting mad!" ... The hate aimed at me was at its peak. Then the other guests came out. The show was starting!
