Holden was overjoyed, hugging Ariana tightly and giving her a deep kiss.

They kissed passionately, their intensity growing.

After a while, Ariana gently pushed Holden away and said, “Okay, that's enough. We can't lose ourselves here; I need to go back now."

With a playful tickle, she took the opportunity to break free from Holden's hold while he was still laughing.

After Ariana returned to her room, she immediately took a shower.

When she finished, she looked at her phone and noticed many messages from Sonia.

“Spill the beans! Since when is Holden part of your show, too? You two are husband and wife; isn't that cheating? LOL."

Confused, Ariana replied, “How did you find out Holden is on the show? They haven't even released any behind-the-scenes footage or the new episode."

"Oh girl, just look at what's trending online. Your fans are freaking out. Everything blew up way too fast!" Sonia was clearly in tune with the latest rumors.

She added, "It's chaos on the internet; people are actually crying. They had just begun rooting for you and Mitchel, but now, everything's changed. Go check it out."

Taking Sonia's advice, Ariana checked the trending searches.

She discovered her secret meeting with Holden was all over the internet.

There were clear photos of Holden hugging and kissing her and her walking into Holden's room.

"Look for yourself; the couple everyone adored is fake. This woman's real agenda is to get close to the rich Chadwick family to gain fame, while her actual lover is supposedly the brick factory boss."

Staring at the phrase “brick factory boss", Ariana was shocked. She read it again.

Brick factory boss? Holden? Since when?

The reactions to the post were mixed, with some fans expressing sorrow and others doubting the authenticity of the news.

“It's photoshopped! These pictures must be fake!"

"Even though this brick boss is hot, Mitchel is just as handsome. Our girl isn't blind."

"Who knows? People have their own preferences."
