SCORNED EX WIFE Queen Of Ashes (Camille and Stefan)

Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Camille woke to her phone's insistent buzz. Seventeen missed calls. Forty-

two texts. Hundreds of news alerts. Her stomach tightened as she read the first notification: "BREAKING: Kane Heiress Mental Health Crisis Exposed,

The Daily Chronicle headline screamed across her screen: CAMILLE LEWIS THE DISTURBING TRUTH BEHIND THE REVENGE PLOT"

Below it, a photo of Rose looking vulnerable and tearful, alongside an image of Camille from the Phoenix Gala, her expression caught in a moment that appeared almost mamic,

She scrolled down, each paragraph hitting her like a physical blow:

"Anonymous sources close to the Lewis family have revealed a decades-

long history of mental health concerns regarding Camille Lewis. Medical records suggest diagnoses of paranoid delusions and persecution complex dating back to her teenage years." "These conditions reportedly worsened after her marriage to Stefan Rodriguez, culminating in violent outbursts and fabricated accusations against her adopted sister, Rose Lewis."

\\The dramatic 'resurrection' and accusations at the recent Kane Industries gala appear to be the culmination of a

carefully constructed delusion, enabled by Victoria Kane."

Camille's phone rang, Victoria.

"Have you seen it?" Victoria's voice cut through without greeting.

"I'm looking at it now," Camille fought to keep her voice steady. "How is this possible? These are complete lies. They claim to have medical records..."

"Fabricated, obviously. They've planted stories in every major outlet. It's coordinated and professional."

Camille opened her laptop. The story was everywhere, news sites, social media, television, Each outlet added its own spin, but the core narrative remained: Camille Lewis had always been unstable. Rose was ill woman for corporate revenge.

"They've included photos from my childhood," Camille's voice cracked. "Photos only my parents would have had." There she was at thirteen, looking sullen, the caption reading "Early signs of isolation and paranoia.

Another image showed her arguing with Rose... "Violent confrontation before witnesses."

"This is Rose," Camille whispered. "It has to be."

"With help,” Victoria added grimly. "This level of media saturation requires resources.”

Camille read comments beneath the articles. The public had already chosen sides:
