'I'm His Substitute Girlfriend' is being plagiarized

Okay. I'm not impressed. I just found out my story is being plagiarized on Wattpad. This is the first time my story is being copied somewhere else without my permission. I don't have an account on that website and I don't know how to report the user. Can someone please help me? Here is the link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/48425984-i'm-his-substitute-girlfriend

To you, whoever you are, you could have asked me for a permission to translate it in Tagalog. I would be glad to give that permission to you. I'm not greedy. In fact, a few readers of mine have asked permission to translate some of my stories. AND I DIDN'T SAY NO. As long as they will credit me and give the link of where they posted the story.

But you did not. How could you?

When this was featured, I was ecstatic. But now I regret having this on the front page of AFF. And now, I have trust issues too. Thanks a lot.

If you still have a little bit of conscience, please take down the story. Or better yet, send me a message and apologize. Maybe, just maybe, I'll let you translate it.

And to all of you who are still reading it, I'm so sorry but I have to hide the story for now. I'm really, really sorry.

EDIT (Sept. 14, 2015, 9:28 PM PST)

I feel so relieved now. The story has been taken down. A good friend, Aerxia, told me the author deleted it by herself and apologized for what she did. (Though, she didn't apologize to me personally but it's okay. At least, she deleted the story now.) I want to thank you for all your help! I really got teary-eyed when I found out the story doesn't exist anymore. Thank you! Thank you so much, friends!

omg that must be heartbreaking. i personally haven't experienced it myself but to think that some stranger (who is also possibly a reader) blatantly copies something that you work really hard on. writing is not easy. it takes a lot of effort and dedication and a lot of time. people who plagiarize are heartless and insensitive, and i seriously hate them. i'm just glad that it's been settled. i'm so sorry to hear about it shiela. cheer up, okay? i hope this thing never happens to you again.

I don't know why people have the need to plagiarize I mean srsly. -_- and tbh English stories don't even have to translated in Tagalog because dude I know we Filipinos can speak English. Like.. Most of us. So why would she do that

I saw your friend Aerxia's blog post that led me here. Wow. Just wow. But seems like it's not yet over completely since it seems like somebody else fooled the one who deleted the supposed plagiarized work. But wow, just wow.
