My Sister-in-Law Was an Influencer.Her Greed Cost Her Everything In my life,my sister-in-law Paige,a social media influencer,attracted a large following with provocative pregnancy-themed content. Consumed by her desire for fame, she stole my money to buy attention-grabbing outfits and planned secret meetings with her biggest fan.
As a lawyer,I was aware of the dark risks of her path. I convinced her to quit suggestive streaming. But when she saw another pregnant influencer go viral,she accused me of jealousy,claiming I blocked her stardom. Before a crucial case,she destroyed the evidence I had worked so hard to gather. I lost the case,my reputation was tarnished, and I lost my life when I was stabbed by my client's family. My brother Ethan was murdered by Paige and her lover,their fortune falling into their hands.
Now,I’m back on the day Paige announced her suggestive streaming plan. “What do you think of this dress?” Paige held up a tight purple dress,low-cut and slit to the waist,posing in front of the mirror. Seeing that attention-grabbing outfit, ,I realized I’d been reborn to the day when Paige announced her plan to become a suggestive influencer.
Paige was a small-time content creator,desperate for viral fame. Even pregnant,she kept posting. Once,during a live stream,a wardrobe slip boosted her views. Tasting success,she stole my money to buy low-cut, attention-grabbing outfits. To feed her ego,she asked me to try them on,calling it“sisterly care.” In my previous life,I obliged.She filmed me,posting it with the caption:“Single sis’s baby bump is so cute.” Rumors about my pregnancy started spreading, which severely damaged my career. Furious,I confronted her,learning her suggestive streaming plan. As a lawyer,I was familiar with the dark side of human nature. Pregnant women as suggestive influencers could normalize commodifying women,with dire consequences. My patient attempts to persuade her finally made her give up. But when she saw a rival pregnant influencer explode online,she decided I’d sabotaged her out of envy. In an attempt to ruin me, she destroyed the evidence for my case before a major trial. I lost the case,my reputation was ruined,and a client’s relative killed me. After my death,Ethan was inconsolable,clutching my body. Paige,arm-in-arm with her lover,shoved her ring down his throat,sneering,“I killed her.The kid’s not yours.A stuttering loser—you thought I’d love you?” Her venomous words echoed in my mind as I smirked. This time,I wouldn’t stop her.Let her chase her“dream.” “Paige,that dress was made for you.I could never pull it off.” I bowed my head,hiding the malice in my eyes. Paige giggled and looked me up and down with disdain. “Quinn,no offense,but your type?No guy’s biting.Lucky the Larsons have cash—find a decent guy,and thank your stars.” I scoffed silently inside while keeping a neutral expression on my face.“You’ll kill it streaming in that dress.” Paige,thrilled st the thought,swapped outfits and set up her gear. In the living room,I created a fake account,found her channel,started recording,and showered her with$3,000 in virtual gifts—jets,yachts,rockets. On the screen,Paige’s face flushed with excitement as she turned up the charm. She started dancing in a suggestive manner. Viewers surged,crude comments flooding: “She's got that hot mom vibe going on, which is really appealing.” Noticing Paige’s unease,I dropped another few grand in gifts. She didn’t disappoint. After the dance, she was drenched in sweat,she grazed her belly,feigning to wipe sweat with her dress. “Realizing”it was too revealing,she apologized profusely.The chat exploded with“LOL,nice.” That’s when Ethan came home.
