Chapter 1

작가: Feather South
My heart dropped.

With trembling hands, I tapped open the rest of the images. One chat screenshot after another exploded across my vision.

[Good night, baby. Dream of me.]

[I ordered you a matcha latte. Don't forget to drink it.]

[This song is so good. Sharing it with you.]

Those were the messages I had sent Billy Evans last night, at noon today, and just moments ago.

And five minutes earlier, I had transferred 500 dollars to his secondary account to buy him the latest gaming keyboard.

The note read: [Only the best gear for my man.]

A new message popped up from Billy.

[Kat, I just woke up. I miss you so much.]

Just woke up? I stared at the message, my stomach churning.

But I didn't call to confront him—not yet. I needed proof.

I sent a message to him: [I'm exhausted from work today. My boss even yelled at me. I feel terrible.]

Almost instantly, he replied with a string of messages.

[What happened, baby? That idiot boss of yours again? Don't be mad, don't be mad. If you get sick from stress, it'll break my heart.

[Come on, tell me. I'll curse him out for you.]

At the same time, his secondary account showed that my 500-dollar transfer had been accepted. He replied with a simple: [OK.]

Then another message followed: [By the way, my buddy's a bit short on cash lately. Transfer me another 300, will you? I'll lend it to him for emergencies. He'll pay you back next month.]

I took a slow breath, my fingertips cold as I typed on the screen.

[Okay.]

I labeled the transfer "loan" and sent the money over.

He accepted it instantly and said nothing more.

On his main account, seeing that I hadn't replied, Billy sent another flurry of messages.

[Baby, why aren't you replying? Are you crying?

[Don't be sad. I'll order your favorite matcha latte, okay? Less sugar, regular ice, right?]

My heart sank.

His main account and his secondary account… were clearly two different people.

One was gentle to a fault. The other only knew how to take.

I decided to push further.

Switching to his secondary account, I sent a soft, aggrieved voice message.

"I'm really upset today. It feels like we're so far apart… You can't even be here to hold me. What are you doing right now? Can you send me a photo—just one? I want to feel like you're a little closer."

A few minutes later, Billy sent a picture, his tone edged with impatience.

It was a half-finished glass of beer. The background was a dim, neon-lit KTV room, chaotic and gaudy.

Caption: [Out with clients. No choice—it's all for our future.]

I fixed my gaze on a reflection on the glass.

I zoomed in. Then zoomed in again.

In the blurred reflection, I could just make out fragments of neon lettering.

Holding my breath, I studied it carefully until I recognized a word: Starlight.

Starlight Club. That place was in the busiest commercial district of our city—less than three kilometers from my home.

For final confirmation, I immediately searched online for "Starlight Club," and clicked into the "User Reviews" section, sorting by most recent.

My fingers flew as I scrolled down.

Finally, I found a photo posted five minutes ago.

In the picture, a group of people was raising their glasses in celebration. Billy sat in the center, grinning like he owned the world.

Leaning against him on the sofa was a beautiful girl I didn't recognize.

The caption read: [Thanks for the treat, bro! Starlight Club rocks! Plenty of beauties tonight!]

Every lie shattered in that instant. We were never in a long-distance relationship. It was a same-city scam.

I closed every app, my fingers trembling with rage.

After a long moment, I sent a message to his secondary account: [Let's meet.]

  • My Boyfriend Put Me on Sale   Chapter 8

    I opened my notes app and read out every transaction, one by one."Last year on your birthday, I transferred 1,430 dollars. The note said, 'Happy birthday, my man.'"You said you wanted a new computer. I sent 2,000 dollars. The note read, 'Billy deserves the best gear.'"You said your mother was sick—I sent 5,000 dollars. You said you hit someone and needed compensation—I sent 10,000 dollars. You said your friend got into trouble and needed money—I sent another 5,000…"With every amount I read aloud, Billy's body trembled. Victoria's face grew paler by the second.And the friends who had been surrounding him began to quietly step back, distancing themselves from the scammer."In the past year, there have been a total of fifty-two transfers, amounting to 58,600 dollars."I finished the last entry and looked at him calmly."Billy, under the law, what you've done constitutes fraud. Now you have two choices. Either you return every cent you took from me, or we let the police explai

  • My Boyfriend Put Me on Sale   Chapter 7

    Jamie and I walked down the spiral staircase from the second floor, side by side.I could feel it—the subtle shift in the room. Eyes from all over the hall drifted toward us.Billy, meanwhile, seemed frozen in place, as if a spell had been cast on him. He stood there, stiff and unmoving, watching helplessly as we approached step by step.His friends fell silent, their laughter dying as they turned to stare at the two uninvited guests.The girl beside him—Victoria Richardson—finally sensed that something was wrong.She frowned and tugged at his arm, her voice tinged with both curiosity and a hint of coquettish impatience."Billy, what's going on? Who are they?"Billy's lips trembled, but no words came out. He could only look at us with a pleading, almost desperate expression.I ignored him.Stopping in front of them, I spoke clearly."My name is Katherine Rowan. I'm Billy's… girlfriend of one year.""What?!" Victoria's eyes flew wide open. She sprang away from Billy as if bur

    Jamie and I quietly returned to our city.Starlight Club was one of the most exclusive entertainment venues in town. The gilded doors at the entrance and the luxury cars coming and going all screamed extravagance.We walked in side by side, pretending to be a couple out for a night of leisure.I followed him through corridors awash with shifting lights and shadows, until we booked a private room on the second floor with the best view.From here, we could see everything below—while no one outside could see us.My heart raced as I tried to steady my breathing.About half an hour later, the lounge area downstairs began to fill with noise and energy.A group of young men and women gathered around someone as they made their way in and took the most prominent seats.That person was Billy.Dressed head to toe in designer brands, the watch on his wrist—the one I had paid for—glinting under the lights, he laughed and toasted freely with those around him.And in his arms, he held a bea

    "How do you want to handle this?"Jamie asked, his usual calm already restored."I'm going to the police," I said, voicing my plan. "But before that, I need to gather enough evidence. And I want to expose him in person—ruin him completely."Jamie nodded in agreement. "That's exactly what I was thinking. Right now, he thinks you came alone. His guard will be at its lowest. This is our best chance."He stood up and began pacing the living room, organizing the plan in his head."We'll play along. The thing he fears most right now is you showing up in front of him and disrupting his life. So, we go on a 'date.'""A date?" I frowned, confused."Exactly." He took out the phone he used to contact Billy and started typing.[Bro, she's here, but I've got something to deal with today. I asked a friend to keep her company. If she contacts you, don't slip up.]Then he gestured for me to take out my phone and message Billy as well."Tell him you've already met his 'friend,' that he seems

    "Come in first."Jamie broke the suffocating silence, stepping aside to let me in.I moved mechanically, walking into the living room.A faint aroma of coffee lingered in the air—exactly like the "home" that "Billy" had described to me over our conversations.So this… was my brother's home.I sank onto the sofa, drained. He poured me a glass of hot water and sat across from me, saying nothing.The atmosphere was tense, strange, almost unreal.In the end, I spoke first, my voice dry."So… Billy sold you his main account?"My brother nodded, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he were choosing his words carefully."Half a year ago, I saw your posts and realized you were in an online relationship. I had a bad feeling, so I asked someone to look into your boyfriend. Turns out, he's just some blond delinquent scamming people for money."The moment I heard the word scamming, anger and grievance surged through me. I lashed out, hitting his arm."Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

  • My Boyfriend Put Me on Sale   Chapter 3

    I took a three-hour flight and followed the navigation to the address Billy had sent me.It was a high-end residential complex—tight security, quiet surroundings, meticulously maintained.There was no way Billy—a self-proclaimed struggling young man who claimed he came from a poor family and needed my financial support—could afford to live in a place like this.A deep sense of unease settled over me.As I hesitated at the entrance, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Billy.[You here? Don't just stand at the gate. Come in.]My scalp prickled.How did he know I had arrived? Was he watching me from somewhere I couldn't see?Forcing myself to stay calm, I replied: [The complex is huge. I can't find your building.][Building 14. Go straight after you enter. It's the tallest one on your left.]His instructions were precise and immediate. I had no choice but to steel myself and walk in.Sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, scattering across my skin, but I felt no wa
