Chapter 34 Marceline's face went pale . Her chest felt like it had been ripped open , leaving a gaping hole where cold wind poured in relentlessly . Her finger tightened slowly around the spoon , and her lips pressed into a thin line . Selene was still clueless about what had happened to Lyana . A year after Curtis's engagement with Jenna was ruined , Lyana fell into a vegetative state . Everyone claimed that Marceline had pushed her down the stairs . She had been at the scene and couldn't defend herself . Worse still , eyewitnesses testified that she had reached out in a state of panic . The surveillance footage had also captured the moment , and no one cared to hear her side of the story . Not long after that incident , Curtis married her , and the whole ordeal had caused an uproar . Given what happened to Lyana , everyone assumed Curtis would cut ties with her for good . A year had passed since the drugging scandal . Although Curtis had declared at the engagement party that he would marry Marceline there had been no wedding , nor did they register the marriage . Having taken advantage of her , everyone assumed that he would end it . Even if he were criticized for it , no one believed that he would stay with someone like her . Yet , in the end , Curtis still married her . At the time , Marceline had hope . She thought that maybe he still cared about what they once had , and there was still a way forward . But on the very first night of their marriage , she learned about Pinebrook Villa . That was when she realized their marriage was nothing but Curtis ' revenge - revenge for ruining his engagement to Jenna and for turning Lyana into a vegetable . He had always called Marceline a liar and said she deserved what she got After that , Marceline fell into an endless spiral of self - blame and internal torment . The once bright and stubborn woman was no more . The live streaming account Selene mentioned was something Marceline had started behind Curtis ' back . Seven years ago , when he was found and brought back to the Wolfes , she was constantly worried about being abandoned . That was when she met Selene , and the two started livestreaming together , singing online . To her surprise , viewers Immediately fell in love with Marceline's voice . She gained a million followers overnight , and that number eventually hit ten million . Marceline became the most talked - about singing streamer on the entire platform and even topped the trending searches . Her voice was praised as divine , and netizens called it a voice blessed by God . Every time Marceline went live , she would trend without fail . But she only ever had eyes for Curtis . She feared that the Wolfes , being from high society , would find her out . Marceline had tested the waters once , and they responded that livestreaming was no different from selling things online . After that , she reduced her sessions and never showed her face . She even discontinued all monetary support features . Still , her fans remained loyal . Even after she disappeared for three years , they continued to await her return . Marceline's streamer name was Little Nightingale . She had always loved to sing , and that had been her motivation to study vocal performance in the first place . Marceline had used to sing for Curtis often , but he was always busy or too Insatiable . Every time she started singing , he would drag her " Babe , the sounds you make in bed are music to my ears . I want to be the only one who ever hears them . " Curtis had said so many sweet things , and Marceline remembered them all . In the present , Selene continued to speak softly " Marceline , your fans are still waiting for you . Two years ago , their search for you even made the trending searches again . I still remember the headline . I think it said , ' Have you ever seen the Little Nightingale ? " " I thought you'd stream at least once over the past few years . I've stayed subscribed to your channel , but you never streamed . You pave up the whole world for Curtis Chapter " That might've been okay if he stayed loyal , but he didn't . " They hadn't seen each other in three years . Selene had so much she wanted to say , but at certain points , she lowered her head and choked up . The bong between the two ran deep , and over the past three years , they had both been constantly thinking of one another . Selene covered her face and took a few deep breaths , quickly downing a glass of cold water before going on . " Those five songs Jenna released while she was abroad ? She stole them from you . What are you going to do about it ? " Those songs turned her into the hottest composer in the country- Everyone's talking about her . The Farrells ' legacy in music is well known , and now , people are throwing expensive gifts at them just for a chance to work with her . " Marceline bit her lips . If she were to come forward now and claim those songs were hers , everyone would mock her . She would be torn apart online . In this industry , her reputation had long since been ruined .
