Celebrity Plastic Surgeon Husband Forced Me into a Televised Natural Birth as Punishment, Until a Fateful Glitch Exposed His Cruelty
Asher’s phone rang again, a jarring sound in the quiet waiting area. It was Sienna’s agent, Sarah, her voice tight with barely contained fury.
“Asher, it’s official,” Sarah stated, her words clipped and precise. “The ‘Radiant Glow’ cosmetics endorsement deal has been completely pulled. Not just held up. Canceled. Gone.”
A fresh wave of nausea washed over Asher. This was it. The full blow.
“Canceled?” Asher echoed, his voice raw. “On what grounds?”
“They cited further ‘unreliability concerns’ and ‘a conflict with their brand image,'” Sarah explained, her voice rising in frustration. “But Asher, it’s worse. There’s been a coordinated social media smear campaign that exploded overnight. Anonymous accounts, all spreading rumors about Sienna’s ‘fragile mental state’ and her ‘unpredictability’ under pressure.”
Asher’s jaw clenched so hard he felt a muscle spasm. He already knew who was behind it. Cassidy. The burner phone, the carefully orchestrated lies. This was the escalation he had dreaded, a direct attack on Sienna’s professional integrity, designed to strip her of her financial independence.
“This is Julian, isn’t it?” Asher asked, his voice low and dangerous. “And Cassidy. They’re working together.”
“It has Julian’s fingerprints all over it,” Sarah confirmed, her voice grim. “The language in the brand’s legal notice, the specific narratives in the smear campaign—it all echoes his public statements about Sienna. He’s weaponizing her past, turning her vulnerability into a liability.”
The petty cruelty of it struck Asher hard. It wasn’t just a corporate decision; it was a personal attack, an insidious chipping away at Sienna’s reputation and her future, using her most intimate struggles as ammunition.
“How much money is she losing, Sarah?” Asher asked, his voice strained.
“Millions, Asher. This was a five-year deal, projected to be her biggest revenue stream outside of music,” Sarah replied, a note of despair in her voice. “And now, with this smear campaign, other potential deals are going to dry up. Brands are risk-averse. They don’t want controversy, especially not this kind of character assassination.”
The financial pressure on Sienna tightened like a noose, pushing her further and further into Julian’s control. Without her own income, without her independent deals, she would be completely reliant on him. This was Julian’s ultimate power play, designed to ensure her perpetual dependence.
“Is there any way to fight this?” Asher pressed, desperate for a solution.
“Legally, it’s a nightmare,” Sarah sighed. “These contracts have morality clauses, clauses about public perception. Unless we can prove direct, malicious interference—which is incredibly difficult to do in a court of public opinion—we’re stuck. His public statements are carefully worded enough to sound concerned, not manipulative.”
Asher’s hand trembled as he hung up. The news was devastating. Julian wasn’t just punishing Sienna with a televised birth; he was dismantling her entire future, brick by agonizing brick. He was ensuring that her “comeback” would forever be under his shadow, his control.
He thought of Sienna in the delivery room, her body racked with pain, her spirit battered but still fighting. How could he tell her this? How could she endure this additional blow, knowing her hard-won independence was being systematically stolen from her?
The smear campaign was a particularly vile form of cruelty. It attacked her character, her sanity, her very fitness as a mother, all designed to make her appear unstable and unreliable. It was a targeted assault on her core identity.
He clenched his fists, a burning rage simmering beneath his skin. Julian and Cassidy had gone too far. They hadn’t just crossed a line; they had obliterated it. He had to find those raw files, the ones that held the key to Julian’s deception.
He knew Sam was still working on retrieving the “Private – Do Not Upload” video from the hidden server. Asher checked his secure drive, waiting for the upload to complete. He needed that video, not just for proof of Cassidy’s initial setup, but to expose the entire, insidious web of lies.
This wasn’t just about money anymore. This was about justice. It was about protecting Sienna, her child, and her right to rebuild her life on her own terms. Julian had underestimated their strength, their resolve. He was about to learn just how costly that mistake would be. The escalation was complete; the fight had entered a new, far more dangerous phase.
