From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

hapter 3 The Show Off

Lynn meant business. She was dangling a 30 thousand dollar-a-day carrot to hire a boyfriend for her prized daughter.

News of this windfall spread like wildfire, and hordes of good-looking guys came running. After a gauntlet of interviews, only the cream of the crop remained, each more charming than the last.

Ever since Natalie started bouncing back, she had a new handsome companion every day. Her messy divorce was a distant memory for her.

These guys were friendly, fun, and taught her all kinds of cool stuff. It dawned on her that while she was fixated on Darren, the world had zipped right by.

For three years, she had Darren on the brain, with no room for new trends. She was clueless about the latest viral videos, no wonder Darren thought she was stuck in the past.

She thought the viral videos rocked. Natalie quickly got the hang of racking up followers and snagged five million fans in a snap. She named her channel "Queen Natalie," where she shared the nitty-gritty of her daily grind. Her first post showcased their family's farm, so vast it blew everyone away and went viral on the double.

Riding that wave, she posted clips of her boyfriends lending a hand at the dairy, pig, and fish farms, smashing interaction records.

The comments flooded in.

[Jesus, I just saw a real-life rich kid!]

[People have no shame! Parading on someone else's farm to flaunt cash? Seriously?!]

[How'd this chick get so many hot guys in her videos?!]

Spotting the last comment, Natalie replied right back, [Because we're rolling in dough.] Little did she know her retort would be the talk of the town by morning.

She feared if Lynn got too riled up, she might just buy an entertainment company to gush over her non-stop, beauty queen style. No need
