Synopsis

Devotion

Winning Back the Wife

Regret

Female Growth

Lovesick Fool

Hypocrisy

Tragic Love

As the daughter of a billionaire, I grew up in a world full of luxury. But when I turned 18, I gave everything I had to my brother's best friend, Nathan Gildon. He was the one my brother trusted most, the one he personally brought up. Nathan was smart and ambitious, and when he smiled, it felt as if he was handing you the whole world. I had had a crush on him for years. Last night, I thought he finally loved me back. I thought I wasn't just the girl who snuck glances at him across crowded parties anymore. I thought I was the woman he'd bring into his future. But the next morning, I heard him on the balcony, laughing with an investor friend. "Mavis is just practice. I need some experience before I pursue Claire. Besides, her family can open a lot of doors for me." I didn't cry, question him, or explain myself. I just packed my bags and changed my college applications. One week later, I was on a plane to Eltoria. And the man who betrayed me that night? He went crazy trying to win me back.

Chapter 1
At the end of the hallway, laughter slipped out through the crack in the door.The second I made out the words, I froze where I was standing."You're something else, Nathan. Using a rich heiress as practice? That's wild."Nathan Gildon laughed."Well, she was practically begging me to sleep with her. But she's had a crush on me for years, and I was her first. Guess that's a win for her."I got caught up in the romantic mood last night. She looked like she really wanted it, so… I helped her out."The room exploded in laughter.My nails dug deep into my palms, cold sweat soaking my hands. Every sweet word Nathan whispered in my ear last night now cut through my bones like blades.Footsteps came closer.I stumbled back, then bolted down the stairs, as if I was running for my life.Back home, my tears broke loose, and they streamed out faster than I could stop them.The shame, disgust, and fury I felt made my whole body tremble.Last night, I thought it was love. Today, I learn

Chapter 2
The video showed Nathan sitting right next to Claire.There were plenty of empty seats around her, but whenever someone tried to sit beside her, Nathan made them move.When they talked, his lips brushed close to her ear. I couldn't hear what he whispered, but I could see Claire laughing softly and leaning away.Even through the screen, the flirty tension was obvious.My chest tightened. It looked like Nathan was just about to win her over.Later, during a game, Claire got a dare to do partner push-ups with a guy. She hadn't even chosen her partner yet when Nathan jumped up first.Everyone started cheering.Claire's cheeks turned red as she lay back on the couch. Nathan held himself above her and did a few push-ups before pretending to slip, letting his whole body fall against hers.The crowd screamed louder.In the middle of all the noise, Nathan dipped his head and kissed Claire.She didn't stop him.The two of them kissed as if there were no one else in the room.I froze

Before bed, I ran a bath, wanting to scrub myself clean.But the second I took off my clothes, the bruises on my skin showed up, bluish and sharp against the light.And just like that, the memories from last night came rushing back.I still remembered the heat of Nathan's body pressed against mine and the way he whispered sweet words in my ear, making me believe every single one. It all echoed as if he were still right there.I kept scrubbing my skin until it turned red.As I was stuck in my misery, the phone rang, making me jump.I was scared it might be Nathan. I wasn't ready to face him.When I picked it up and saw Andrew's name, I let out a breath and steadied myself."Hey, Andrew."He sounded worried on the other end. "Charles said you came home and locked yourself in your room crying. What happened? Who hurt you? Tell me, and I'll deal with them."Hearing his concern broke me all over again, and my tears slipped out before I could stop them."I'm fine. I've decided tha

Chapter 4
Not even half an hour after Nathan left, Phoebe sent me a screenshot.It was from Claire's latest post. [My handsome prince brought crepes to save me, the starving princess!]In the picture were the exact same crepes sitting on my dining table.Phoebe's texts came right after, dripping with sarcasm.["The starving princess"? Give me a break.[She makes me sick. Is that really what guys like?]I didn't know about other guys, but Nathan clearly liked it.I stared at the crepes on the table, then picked them up and tossed them straight in the trash.After that, I started gathering everything Nathan had ever left at my place—his stuff, his gifts, all of it. I packed them all up in a box and threw it out, too.I only had five days left before leaving, so it was better to get rid of them now.Five days passed quickly. Nathan never called or texted. Things were probably going very well with Claire.Or maybe he was waiting for me to cave in first. That was how it always went—after e

Chapter 5
When Phoebe and I started traveling, I made sure to keep myself busy with packed schedules and new places—anything to stop me from overthinking.I didn't unblock Nathan like he asked. But Phoebe and a few of my other friends would sometimes update me on him anyway.Nathan, who used to be too lazy to post anything for months, was suddenly posting every single day.I didn't want to know where he and Claire were going. But somehow, my friends kept sending me updates on him.People asked why I wasn't with him. Everyone was used to seeing me by Nathan's side, so now, they seemed hesitant every time they brought him up.I could tell they suspected something between him and Claire. I mean, a guy and a girl traveling together? People talk. And Nathan wasn't even hiding it—Claire showed up in his posts, as if she belonged there.I told myself that I was fine and that it didn't matter. But every time I saw it, something inside me hurt, like a little stab to the heart.After all, he was so

Chapter 6
The day I flew back home, Andrew was the one who came to pick me up at the airport.But instead of heading straight home, the car pulled up in front of a hotel.The second I stepped inside, I froze. Nathan was there.It had only been one summer, but he already looked different—less boyish, a little more grown.My chest tightened. After all those weeks of avoiding him, here he was, standing right in front of me.Andrew noticed my tense expression and gave me an apologetic look. "Nathan's family organized a welcome-back party for you."Mom and Dad didn't know about your fight with him, so they agreed to come. Honestly, I just found out myself."I shook my head, saying it was fine. Sooner or later, I'd have to face Nathan anyway.Andrew spotted some investors nearby and excused himself, leaving me to mingle. I grabbed a drink and moved toward a group of girls I knew.That was when Nathan turned, and our eyes met.I'd told myself I was ready for this moment. But the second it hap

Chapter 7
This party was a complete nightmare for me.Nathan's mother, though, couldn't stop smiling when she saw me. She held onto my hand, as if I was family."College is starting soon. I told Nathan to take care of you there. If he ever dares to pick on you, just tell me. I'll make sure he gets what's coming!"She turned to Andrew as well. "Thank you for guiding Nathan in business. Without you, he'd still just be an ordinary student."Andrew looked a little awkward but kept the polite small talk going.Meanwhile, Claire stood off to the side, her smile stiff and her eyes dark.Then, out of nowhere, she jumped in. "Mrs. Gildon, don't worry. I'm going to a college in Redwood, too. I'll take good care of Nathan."Oh, did you know? Mavis didn't even apply to Redwood Business School. She got a full scholarship to Westwood Tech."The second the words left her mouth, Nathan's whole expression changed."Westwood Tech?" he snapped.Claire covered her mouth, acting as if she had misspoken. "W

Chapter 8
After that night, I didn't see Nathan again—not until it was time to leave for school.Phoebe sent me a screenshot of his post announcing his new relationship. I glanced at it once, then deleted it. From now on, there was no reason to keep up with him anymore.But of course, life had to play tricks on me. On the day I flew out, I ran straight into Nathan at the airport. And he wasn't alone—Claire was right there with him.He only said hi to Andrew, then stormed past me, as if I didn't even exist. He didn't look at me once.Andrew frowned, his voice low and annoyed. "What a joke. Who does he think he is, treating you like that? The project I gave him was finalized anyway. I won't help him out again."Before boarding, I felt something and turned my head to find Nathan watching me. The moment our eyes met, his gaze turned cold, then he disappeared into the gate without a word.And just like that, the boy I grew up with was officially gone from my life.After that, I didn't hear muc

Chapter 9
It was a guy I had met through one of my campus clubs, a classmate from Barlandy named Elbert Cross.He was very good-looking—in certain angles, he even reminded me of a young Tom Cruise. But more than his looks, it was his personality that drew me in. He was cheerful and funny, always making me laugh until my stomach hurt.When I didn't immediately deny having someone in mind, my mother's eyes lit up, full of curiosity.I bit my lip and smiled, embarrassed. "Yeah, but we're not exactly dating yet."Hearing that, my bubbly mother didn't act awkward at all. She leaned in and kept asking about him, wanting to know everything.Nathan, sitting off to the side, suddenly went quiet.After a long pause, he finally spoke up. "Guys with a sweet tongue aren't always reliable. It's better to be with someone you really know."I nodded politely. "You're right. Sometimes you only see the surface of a person. I'll take my time and get to know him better."Then I added, "Thanks for the reminde
