My Aries Ex

Late that night, I was scrolling through social media when my finger slipped, and I liked a rant that said, "No women would like to date Aries men."

A few minutes later, Rachel Lewis, my ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend, flooded my private messages.

[Stop trying to get Marcus's attention with these pathetic little tricks.]

[You already broke up.]

[A decent ex stays dead.]

[You're damaging Marcus's reputation.]

[I'll give you one chance to delete it.]

[Otherwise, you'll face the consequences.]

I laughed.

I had broken up with Marcus Gibson, my Aries ex-boyfriend, three years ago.

[I dumped that piece of trash out three years ago. I don't care if you picked him up and started treating him like a treasure, but stop acting like someone's trying to steal him from you every day.]

That pushed Rachel completely over the edge. She sent me an Excel spreadsheet right away.

[Fine. Since you're so over him, pay back every cent Marcus spent on you while you were dating. Otherwise, that proves you still want him.]

I looked at the bill.

Eighty-seven cups of coffee, eighteen movie tickets, that sad bouquet of roses he bought me for Valentine's Day, and even the chamomile tea he bought me when I was having my period...

[The total is 4,300 dollars. If you don't transfer the money within three days, I'll make sure the whole internet knows who you are.]

I stared at it, stunned. Then, I ignored the madwoman.

The next day, my social media exploded.

I couldn't help but laugh in anger as I looked at the long post on my phone.

I never thought that after breaking up with Marcus for three years, his current girlfriend would still be stalking me.

I was not planning to respond, but my account blew up before long. Private messages from strangers all over the country started coming in.

[Playing dead? You think staying quiet will solve anything? Marcus may be soft-hearted, but we aren't pushovers.]

[You liked that post because you wanted to imply he was terrible in relationships, didn't you? Stop playing innocent after doing that! Marcus is so upset he can't sleep, and this is all your fault! If you don't delete the post and apologize, we'll contact a lawyer and sue you for ruining his reputation!]

[You manipulative witch! I heard you're about to get engaged? Does a backstabbing witch like you deserve happiness? I hope you get dumped in public on your wedding day! That would suit your true nature!]

My hands went ice-cold, and I was shaking with anger. I knew those accounts all too well. Jack Summers, Ian Smith, Zachary Brown... They were all part of Marcus's circle of friends.

Three years ago, they had helped Rachel turn my relationship with Marcus into a complete mess.

I still remember the day Marcus made our relationship official. Rachel had curled up in his arms and cried to the point where his shirt was stained, hinting that Marcus had betrayed their friendship.

"Alright,
