Golden Finger

Since childhood, I've been able to see the exact amount of money in someone's bank account floating above their head. At the orphanage, I use this gift to pick adoptive parents who look shabby but actually have a billion dollars sitting in the bank. Unfortunately, I only get to enjoy the good life for a short time before the family's real daughter is brought home. She's furious that I've taken her place and makes it her mission to make my life miserable. In order to stay in school, I swallow every insult and endure her bullying. After finally graduating, I'm ready to walk away from this family forever. But the real daughter stops me. She's fuming as she says, "I thought my online boyfriend was a rich guy with a Ferrari, but it turns out he's just a broke loser who rides a rental bike. "If he latches onto me, it'll be a stain on my reputation for life. You go meet him for me. Tell him you're the one he's been dating online." I look in the direction she's pointing and see the man she's talking about. A broke nobody? But the bank balance hovering over his head has ten digits! I swallow hard, my heart racing as I grab the real daughter's arm in excitement. "Quick, tell me everything about your online relationship. I'll go meet him right now!"

Chapter 1
The moment Yvonne Reed, my adoptive sister, saw how eager I was, she let out a mocking laugh. "Seriously, Tessa? Have you never seen a man before? I can't believe you're drooling over a broke loser."She tossed her phone at me so I could read her chat with her online boyfriend for myself."Since you're that desperate, I'll just give him to you. Leave with him—and it'd be best if you never came back," she spat.I swallowed her cold sarcasm and kept my expression neutral. Once I had quickly memorized every detail I needed, I finally mustered my courage and walked up to the online boyfriend Yvonne no longer wanted."Hi, I'm Cindy, the one who's been chatting with you. My real name is Tessa Reed." I smiled and held out my hand.The man's eyes lit up, clearly surprised. "So this is what you look like. You're even prettier than I imagined. Nice to meet you. My real name is Calvin Fulton."Before this, Yvonne had only sent him a few blurry side-profile and back-view photos. Our figures

Chapter 2
When I froze in the doorway, Calvin looked at me with an expression that said, "I knew it."Even so, he rubbed his hands together, pretending to be all nervous. "Too bad I'm broke. A whole day of delivering takeout only gets me, like, 80 bucks. Are you going to look down on me for only being able to treat you to boxed meals like this, Tessa?"I snapped out of it, and my stomach growled in hunger."Of course not. I was adopted, and my adoptive parents stopped supporting me once I got into college," I said."I worked part-time to save up for tuition. To save money, I usually bought cheap bread and paired it with free soup from the cafeteria. For me, these buffet-style boxed meals are already luxurious enough."I told Calvin the truth openly, without a trace of diffidence or embarrassment in my eyes. Once I finished, I couldn't wait any longer and hurried inside the restaurant, making a beeline for one of the metal food trays.If it had been Yvonne in my place, she probably would've

Chapter 3
I sneaked a look at the bank balance floating above Calvin's head. In the time it took us to finish our meal, his assets had magically gone up by another five million dollars. Yet here he was, still pretending to be broke.Counting on him to hand me tens of millions of dollars was clearly unrealistic, so I decided to make a wish for him to pull some strings and get me a job. That wasn't asking too much, right?I said, "I hope I can find a job soon. If it came with room and board so I could save on rent, that'd be even better."Calvin raised his brows mysteriously. "Maybe the universe will hear you and grant your wish very soon."I was both hopeful and afraid to hope too much. After all, I still knew absolutely nothing about his real background.Either way, after thanking him sincerely for treating me to lunch, I spent a painful chunk of my own money to buy him ice cream in return.After that, he went with me to several hostels, trying to help me find the one that offered the best

Chapter 4
The photo was of Calvin attending an event overseas. So, it turned out he was actually the heir to the Fulton family, the most powerful family in our city.In the photo, he wore a luxurious custom three-piece suit and a watch worth millions, and rode in a Rolls-Royce with a full entourage of bodyguards around him.I thought about how this rich heir, who was totally out of my league, had gone out of his way to dress shabbily and look unkempt when meeting me for cheap street food. I nearly burst out laughing.Calvin had really gone all in just to test his online girlfriend.Afraid that Yvonne would somehow track him down and expose the fact that I'd been impersonating her, I racked my brains trying to appease her."You're overthinking this," I said. "The first time he treated me to a meal, it was a 15-dollar buffet-style boxed meal. Every time we meet up, we only go for cheap street food. "He only has one set of clothes that he rotates over and over, and his slippers are falling apart.

"Tessa, do you have anything to say?"His voice sliced through the dead silence, the air around him heavy and oppressive. He gave the evidence in his hand a little wave; his expression was frostier than I'd ever seen it.I'd gotten so used to the Calvin who always joked around with me, the one who never took anything seriously, that seeing him like this made my tongue go stiff and my words trip all over themselves."I… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pretend to be Yvonne. Could you please let me explain?"I wanted to tell Calvin everything from beginning to end. More than that, I wanted to hurry and explain that, aside from lying about my identity, every single thing I had ever said to him had been true.But Yvonne didn't give me the chance. Before I could say anything else, she cut in, her voice impatient and shrill. "See, Calvin? She admitted it herself! If she hadn't interfered and impersonated me, we would've met ages ago!"She shoved me aside roughly, then planted herself firmly in fr

Chapter 6
Calvin noticed me glance at him. He met my eyes with a strange, unreadable look. He said, "Tessa, you've lied to me once. How can I be sure that you're not lying now?"His tone was still icy, but from my understanding of him, I could tell his expression had softened a little.After confessing my lie, I felt a lot lighter inside. Relying on the rapport we had built over the past few days, I lowered my voice and complained, sounding a little aggrieved, "Well, you… you lied to me, too."You told me you were scraping by delivering takeout every day and that you had to rotate the same clothes over and over. But it turns out you were just putting on an act and fooling me from the start."Seeing how I looked both annoyed and helpless, Calvin rubbed his nose, suddenly looking a bit embarrassed. His attitude was no longer so domineering."I was going to explain everything to you properly," he said. "I just didn't expect Yvonne to show up out of nowhere and mess up my plans."The warmth in

Before Yvonne could answer, Calvin rolled the car window up and told the driver to go. No matter how desperately she cried and begged outside, the Rolls-Royce drove off without a shred of mercy.It was my first time in a car as luxurious as this, and my real identity had just been exposed. I was so nervous that I shrank into myself.I could feel Calvin watching me with obvious interest. With my head ducked low, I apologized again, very seriously."I was wrong for lying to you. I actually had plenty of chances to tell you the truth, but I didn't. That just makes things worse."I'd never really had any friends growing up; it was rare to meet someone I clicked with this much. I was terrified of losing you as my only friend and meal buddy, so I just kept making the same mistake over and over."Being able to see the bank balance floating over people's heads was my secret. I'd never told anyone.Sure, initially, I did approach Calvin because of his ten-figure balance. But as we spent m

Chapter 8
I knew Calvin wouldn't take me back to that budget buffet place. I just didn't expect him to go straight to a fine-dining place where the average per-person cost was several thousand dollars.As I sat there in that high-end restaurant, I had no idea what to do with myself or even where to put my hands. Thankfully, the server was very considerate. She patiently explained which utensils to use for which course.To honor the price tag, I listened carefully to the introduction of every single dish. When it came time to eat, I polished each course off before moving on to the next. I refused to waste a bite.Seeing that I was still the same glutton as before made Calvin smile in that familiar way I knew. He said, "Seeing you eat so happily really puts me at ease. So, what do you think tastes better—fine dining or the 15-dollar boxed meals?""The boxed meals, of course," I answered without even thinking. "The portions are huge, and I love all the dishes. The food here is delicious, but th

I smacked my forehead.Right.For someone with a ten-figure bank balance, looking into a person was child's play. I'd been so stupid not to have realized that. I should've figured it out the moment I joined the company. Calvin had already dug up every last detail about me then.Calvin continued, "That was when I realized that the Cindy I knew online had been lying to me all along, but the Tessa I met in real life was completely, undeniably real. I never expected that my impulse to pretend to be broke would actually give me the chance to meet you."He finally told me that before he met "Cindy" in person, he'd already prepared himself for the possibility that she was just a gold digger.The whole poor act had mainly been a test to see whether she would drop the act and show her true colors, or if she really was a pitiful, kind, and naive woman. If it had been the latter, he would've been willing to use his resources to help her."But ultimately, it was Yvonne's material and vain at

Chapter 10
Faced with Yvonne's meltdown, all I felt was that old, suffocating fear. Years of swallowing every insult and never fighting back had trained me too well. My mind went blank.I could only stand there and watch as she smashed my desk, ripped all my documents to pieces, and turned me into a laughingstock in front of the entire office."You're just a pathetic orphan, Tessa! What makes you think you deserve a life like this? Look at yourself. Do you seriously think you're good enough for Calvin? If I can't have him, you can forget about it, too!" Yvonne shrieked.She came at me again, her eyes blazing as she raised her hand for a slap.Suddenly, a tall, solid figure stepped in front of me. Calvin's hand closed around her wrist like iron, and he shoved her back."You just assaulted and humiliated someone for no reason, barged into my company, and trashed our office. The security cameras caught every second of it," he said icily. "If I don't see you locked up for at least a few years,
