I'm a born egotist. I never spiral or beat myself up over anything. If someone screws with me, I screw them right back. As a kid, my parents always favored my elder sister. One Children's Day, they bought her a cake and got me nothing. I flipped the table and smashed the cake into a complete mess. "Who are you trying to bullshit? If you can't afford two kids, don't have two. If you're that broke, why didn't you just get sterilized back then?" In high school, my cousin snatched one of my toys. My aunt said that he was still little and that I should let him have his way. I didn't even bother holding back. I kick him so hard that he howled in pain. "He's not my kid. Why the hell should I baby him?" After enough incidents like that, everyone around me learns not to test me. When I grew up, I got engaged to Liam Zeller, my childhood sweetheart. But the day before the wedding, I caught him cheating on me with my best friend, Mia Shaw. Liam leaned back against the couch and drawled, "Erica, I'll be honest with you. I'll admit I really did like you before, but after being with you, I realized you're just way too selfish. Any man who stays with you would lose his mind. You really ought to reflect on yourself once in a while." None of that got to me. I straddled him and slapped him across the face over and over again. "You knew I was selfish and still had the balls to cheat on me? You've got some nerve!"

I Don't Take Pressure, I Bring It Chapter 9
After Liam finally vanished from my life, life had been going great for me.The major project I'd just reclaimed was a huge success. The bosses made a snap decision—not only did I get a fat bonus, but I was also promoted to department manager.I went to work and left on time every day, spending my money to spoil myself rotten. On weekends, I got facials and went shopping. My life couldn't have been more comfortable.I was just thinking about where to go for my upcoming vacation when I ran into Esther outside my office building. She'd obviously come specifically to wait for me.She wore a simple dress and stood in the breeze, looking like her usual fragile, gentle self. The moment she saw me, she hurried over and took my hand like it was second nature."Eri." Her voice was soft enough that a gust of wind could've blown it away, and her eyes were full of heartache. "I heard about what happened with Liam… His reputation is ruined now. He can't find a job, and he can't even afford nex

The cops showed up pretty fast and took Liam and me back to the station to give statements. We ended up in a mediation room, where Liam shook like a leaf."Officer, I really didn't take her ring! I swear!" He was so panicked that his eyes turned bloodshot, and he just kept repeating the same thing.I sat across from him with one leg crossed over the other. I said coolly, "I only trust the security footage. It shows that you're the only one who went to my desk, and you're the one who dug through my drawer.""I only went there for the USB—" Liam started, trying to argue."So you admit you stole something from me?" I cut him off.He froze, his face turning a dark, ugly red.To be fair, I didn't have hard evidence that Liam had taken the ring. But he had even less proof that he hadn't. The cameras had clearly caught him in the act, plus he really had stolen my USB drive. He couldn't explain that away.We were at a stalemate for hours.The cops saw that we were getting nowhere. Th

I didn't waste time and turned straight to the admin manager. "Wayne, can you pull up the security footage?"Mr. Johnson nodded grimly.A moment later, the big screen in the conference room switched to the feed from the camera right above my desk.Soon, Liam appeared in the footage. He snuck up to my workstation, looking shifty and sneaky. He glanced around to make sure no one was around, then yanked the black USB drive out of my computer. He shoved it into his pocket and slipped away.The camera captured the entire thing clearly.The conference room instantly exploded."That's low.""He couldn't come up with a proposal on his own, so he stole someone else's and even played the victim."All the comments from our coworkers were like slaps to Liam's face. He panicked, and the cocky attitude he'd had a minute ago vanished. His face turned ashen, and he stammered, trying to defend himself. "M-Mr. Johnson, I… This is all a misunderstanding. I just—""You just borrowed it to take

Liam got the news almost immediately. He called me in a rage, his voice shaking with anger. "Erica, do you really have to take things this far? Do you have to calculate every last cent and leave no room for even a shred of what we had?""Have you just met me?" I let out a cold laugh, my tone indifferent. "I've always been the type to settle scores. If someone wrongs me, I don't let it slide. Since your family insisted on making a scene outside my door, they've gotta deal with the fallout. Don't start talking to me about old feelings. You don't get to."With that, I hung up on him before he could keep yapping.Under my lawyer's nonstop pressure, Liam ran out of options. Afraid this would go on his record and affect his job, he had no choice but to start borrowing money from anyone he could find.After a few days, he wired back every cent I'd spent on him over the years, not a dollar short. The day he passed the transaction record to me, he locked his eyes on me, his gaze full of v
