Chapter 6

작가: Wealthy Dream
Without the support from my family, Albert's golden life shattered overnight.

All those luxury brands I bought him were gifted to Bianca in his attempts to woo her. What remained was worthless junk. In mere hours, he was reduced to nothing.

The same arrogant bastard who turned his nose up at the cafeteria food now shuffled through the vegetarian line, queueing for the cheapest option. He did not even dare to ask for a larger portion.

"Your card's empty, young man," the lunch lady said, her voice loud.

I looked up in Albert's direction as I savoured a bite of steak. His face burned crimson, and he slammed his tray down and fled.

"The audacity," someone sneered. "After that scandal, he still shows up on campus."

"Eve's too soft. I'd have had him expelled."

Expulsion would be too kind. I wanted him here, broken and clinging to scraps of hope, just long enough for me to shatter everything.

He took my life last time. This time, I want him to pay me back in full.

  • Guess Who's Not Sweet Anymore?   Chapter 9

    I called the police. They arrested both Albert and Sandra shortly after.Sandra received a life sentence for stealing high-value assets, while Albert got 15 years despite his lesser involvement due to the enormous sum involved.Before being transferred to prison in another state, he requested to see me one last time. I agreed. After two lifetimes of entanglement, it was time for a proper closure.In just a week, Albert was hollowed out and barely recognizable. When he saw me, he tried to stand, but the guards forced him back down immediately. Tears streamed down his face as he struggled to speak. He steadied his emotions for a while before finally saying, "I'm sorry."He paused briefly before continuing, "I shouldn't have used you as my ATM… shouldn't have pretended to be the Roosevelt family's heir. And most of all, I shouldn't have…"Shouldn't have killed me.His remorse meant nothing now. What was he doing all this time? Albert had always been like this, only backing down

  • Guess Who's Not Sweet Anymore?   Chapter 8

    I couldn't sleep all night. If Albert was telling the truth—if our fate really was set in stone—then in a month, he'd become CEO again. But I had made sure to change everything from the start. I cut off all support from him. How could he possibly succeed with his startup?I couldn't take it anymore. I crawled out of my bed and shook Dad awake. "Dad, I think I saw the maid from the York estate today," I said. "She was with a man 20 years her junior. You think she's acting like some rich socialite to support her sugar baby?"His grogginess vanished in an instant. He dialed Liam's number immediately. A few minutes later, they decided to catch them red-handed. Naturally, I wouldn't miss out on the show.Dad mentioned that Liam had long kept watch on that maid, just that he was too busy to bother yet. He didn't expect her to be so shameless, doing such acts at this age.We found their location within minutes. All thanks to Liam's people keeping a constant watch on her.Liam knock

    I learned my lesson after the incident. Now, bodyguards followed me everywhere on campus.I had planned to make Albert's life hell, but he vanished before I even got the chance. Until our graduation, not once did he appear again.Rumor swirled that his dad sold him to pay off gambling debts. Others claimed that he had been trafficked to some uncivilized area.Good riddance. I felt much at ease without him.Five years after graduation, I climbed up the corporate ladder and became Dad's assistant. To celebrate, I decided to treat myself to a designer purse.As I entered the boutique, I froze at the doorway. What bad luck.Albert, who disappeared for more than five years, stood beside a wealthy middle-aged woman in the boutique."This color complements your fair skin better, baby," he purred, nuzzling her face. The woman couldn't take it and slid a hand under his shirt. They kissed passionately right there.As she tried to grope him, Albert chuckled. "Patience, baby. Tonight, I'

    The truth about Albert spread through campus like wildfire. Overnight, the same classmates who'd tormented me to suck up to him flipped their script entirely."You're way too humble, Eve. Who knew you were the real heir to the Roosevelts? No wonder you have the air of an elite.""Eve Hall sounds way classier than Albert Hall. How delusional was he, pretending to be the heir?""Seriously. If I were him, I'd just drop out and disappear."At the front of the class, Albert's grip on his textbook trembled. His usual upright posture seemed to slump today.Then, the door slammed open."Albert Roosevelt, you've got some nerve showing up here!" Bianca stormed in, eyes swollen from crying.She slapped him hard across the face. "Because of you, the entire department's laughing at me!"Albert touched his reddening cheek, voice icy. "I never said I was the heir. You just assumed I was."Bianca froze, then lunged at him, screeching. "Bullshit! You led me on! Why else would I sleep with you?

    The next day, I went to class as usual. As I entered the classroom, all that welcomed me was hate and hostility."She still has the nerve to show up. If I were her, I would be ashamed to even leave the house. She's got no shame.""I know, right? She actually stole something. How shameless!""Good thing that Albert and Bianca were kind enough not to press charges. If not, she'll end up in prison."I slammed my bag on the desk and rolled my eyes at the gossiping mutts. "What I do is none of your business. Let me make myself clear. If I hear any of you run your mouth behind my back again, I'll make sure you regret it." My glare made them shut up immediately. They were pathetic, people who only picked on the weak, just like Albert.From the corner of my eye, I caught him sitting there with a book in his hands, acting poised. I'd bailed him out of trouble yesterday, yet he wouldn't even say a word now. A real ungrateful brat.However, his little act wouldn't last much longer. Dad wa
