The Buyer Who Knew Too Much

Impossible. I had just seen everything clearly a moment ago.The man hadn ot just arranged a meeting–he had sent revealing photos of my girlfriend and even told her exactly what to wear."Did you stay up all night doing deliveries? You're imagining things."I asked you to sell the camera to help with expenses, and this is what I get? You're accusing me of what, exactly?"I ignored her. I kept clicking, scrolling up and down. But like it had never existed, every message was gone.Chloe snapped and slapped me across the back."I can't live like this anymore. Let's break up!"That slap snapped me back to reality.How could I bear to lose her? A girlfriend like her–if we broke up, I would probably stay single forever.I quickly pulled her into my arms, apologizing again and again.She would not let it go. I almost dropped to my knees.We argued until midnight. She maxed out my last credit card, and I swore I would never doubt her again. Only then did her anger ease slightly."B

Fine. 'More exciting,' huh.I was out there working myself to the bone–supporting her hobbies, buying her an expensive camera.She used that camera to take those kinds of photos for other men. Now she was even planning to bring one of them into our home.The anger surged. I almost stormed into the bedroom to drag the truth out of her.However, I forced myself to stay calm.She was smart. Last time, she must have realized the camera still had those photos on it and got the buyer to delete the account before I could dig deeper.The number that sent those messages just now was not saved. No name, no history. Everything before those few texts had been wiped clean.If I confronted her now, she would deny it to the end.Chat records alone were not enough.We had lived together for five years. She had spent more than I could count–at least tens of thousands. This time, I needed to catch her in the act. Make her and that man pay it all back. I steadied myself. When I looked up, she

Chloe hesitated."You didn't take your clothes off because you didn't have the chance yet. But you were in bed with her–what is there to explain?"The man rushed forward and slapped Renee across the face."You b*tch. Cheating on me behind my back?"Renee covered her face and burst into tears, nothing like how she'd been acting just moments ago.I stepped in front of her and patted her shoulder."Just tell the truth. Don't let her twist things."Renee's attitude changed instantly. She glanced at me, then quickly got up and hid behind the man, pointing at me as she shouted–"Honey, I didn't mean to! He forced me!"What?I stared at her, unable to believe what I was hearing.Chloe clapped her hands."Wow. Even worse than I thought. Jake–you tried to rape her. That's a crime."She pulled out her phone, ready to call the police.The man stopped her."He's still your boyfriend. If you call the police, this will only get out of hand."Chloe snapped back, "Mr. Kessler, why are

Three people. Three different expressions.Shane looked the worst. The arrogance he had shown earlier was completely gone. He forced out an awkward smile and started begging."Jake, come on. We're all men here. We were just out looking for some fun. Why make things this ugly?"He leaned closer and pointed at Renee."I can tell you're interested in her too. She's a good one. You can have her."Renee was still his girlfriend in name, yet he pushed her out like she meant nothing.This man was disgusting.I was about to speak when a flash of light crossed my vision.A cold blade pressed against my neck.Backed into a corner, Shane had actually pulled a fruit knife on me.He gritted his teeth."If you won't let me live, then we'll all die together!""You die first. Then I'll kill these two women one by one and send them after you!"Now I believed what Chloe had said. Shane was this afraid of the police because he must have committed something serious.With my life on the line,
