The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 431

Such a juicy, scandalous affair couldn’t help but attract a crowd.

Onlookers whipped out their phones, eager to capture the scene.

Stella’s brow furrowed as she took it all in.

Abby was still a ways off and wouldn’t arrive for a while yet.

She couldn’t let this woman continue causing a scene.

With that thought, Stella quickly called the police.

The officers arrived fast, ushering the unruly family off the premises.

But it wasn’t long before a video of the incident was posted online, where it spread like wildfire.

Within the hour, the internet was ablaze with outrage, everyone condemning Antoney as a selfish, irresponsible lowlife who ought to be thrown in jail.

Fame, Stella had learned long ago, came with a price: privacy became a thing of the past. Now, Antoney was learning the same painful lesson.

Several young women from the music world, all pianists, jumped at the chance to pile on. They claimed Antoney had a habit of using his musical talent and good looks to manipulate and take advantage of them, always under the guise of “mentoring.”

After falling prey to Antoney’s mind games, none of them went to the police. Instead, they became his so-called “girlfriends,” one after another.

And once Antoney tired of them, he simply broke things off and moved on.

With each new accusation, the story gained credibility—and Antoney’s reputation plummeted. Overnight, he became a pariah, the kind of person everyone loved to hate.

The scandal rocked the entire music community. After all, Antoney had racked up numerous awards at international competitions and was widely celebrated for his talent. That much was never in doubt.

But his character? That was another story entirely.
