Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Nathaniel cut her off. "If you really don't want to upset me, then go public about your breakup with Damon right now and announce our relationship." Rebecca fell silent, frustration and hesitation flashing in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why Nathaniel, who had always been so accommodating, was suddenly pushing her like this.

She had just told Damon that she and Nathaniel were only friends. If she turned around and made their relationship public, how would Damon perceive her? "Nathaniel, do you really have to force me?" she asked.

Nathaniel chuckled. "Rebecca, it's because you've never given me any security in this relationship that we're at this point. Either you make it public or never show up in front of me again. If I don't see an announcement by 8:00a.m. tomorrow, I'll assume you've made your choice." Before she could respond, he hung up.

Rebecca frantically tried to call him back several times, but he didn't answer. It was clear-he was forcing her to choose.

She was furious but also realized that, aside from Nathaniel's feelings for her, she had nothing else to rely on right now. The idea of going public? She couldn't accept it.

Once she announced her relationship with Nathaniel, it would be nearly impossible to reconnect with Damon in the future. After a sleepless night of contemplation, Rebecca saw no other option and grudgingly posted online.

Her post quickly went viral.

The next morning at breakfast, Valarie brought it up. "You wouldn't believe the nonsense Rebecca posted! She said that after getting back with Damon, she realized they had missed too many years and were no longer compatible, so they broke up and stayed friends. The nerve! That's not what she said when she stole Damon from you!"
