An Act of Betrayal

Sometime ago, a non-showbiz couple was happy together and having a secure relationship. Pretty Partner (PP) and Public Servant Boyfriend (PB) seemed to be quite committed to each other. Thus, everything was fine given until Fashion Celebrity (FC) entered their lives.

Although PP and PB are not really in the entertainment industry, hobnobbing with celebrities and the like is part of the job as well as obligations of their social circle. Besides, FC has been in the limelight for some time and moves in similar social circles as the couple. Eventually, they met and struck a friendship. PB used to be friends with FC, but lost track in the past years. PP welcomed FC into their lives and a new friend is always a great addition.

PP and FC became close and FC obviously gained the trust of the former. When she had access to a private view of a much-coveted concert, which PP had obviously really meant for her close friends, FC was part of the entourage. So trusting was PP that FC was even introduced to her family.

One night, PP and PB decided to go for a round of drinks, and they invited FC to join them. FC arrived and started drinking with the couple in a private room. In less than an hour, PP noticed that FC was acting strangely and was verbally flirting with PB. Soon, FC moved closer to PB and became touchy with him. PP took everything in stride and maintained composure even if FC was already kissing PB.

Perhaps it was the effect of the drinks, thus, they decided it was time to go home. Then, FC said she wanted to hitch as she did not bring her car. Having no choice, the couple accommodated FC and all three of them stayed at the backseat with PB in the middle. As the car moved, PP realized that PB and FC were touching each other. Within minutes, the car reached the residence of FC. To the surprise of PP, PB held hands with FC as he took her to the door of the building. From where the car was, PP managed to see that PB and FC were at it, and both went to the elevator. At this point, PP left and had no intention to find out what could have happened when PB and FC reached her unit.

Shocked, annoyed, disappointed, and other feelings filled PP, as she could not believe that such betrayal happened right in front of her eyes. Before FC could even realize the strain she has caused the couple, PP was not one who would not make claims without evidence. As almost everyone has a smart phone with impressive camera, PP did what anyone would have given an interesting, but hurtful scene. Now, FC, who has a reputation to protect in her world and has a clean image, has sleepless nights hoping that no documentation exists of that fateful night when she stole the boyfriend of someone else. A scandal can obviously damage her image and even affect her career.
