I had been dating Andy Lawson for five years. He had gone bankrupt, and during the worst of it, we had to sleep in parks and scavenge leftovers for food. After a hundred days of that life, I was just going to the blackmarket to sell some blood for money when someone sent me a video. [Surprise.] It was a livestream site, set up for rich kids to prank the common folk—and a video of me was pinned to the top. My finger trembling, I tapped on it and saw myself hidden in a corner of a park, munching on leftovers to nourish my frail body. On the split video, Andy was reclining against the armchair of a five-star hotel and savoring his gourmet menu. "Oh, this is amazing! All Andy has to do is say that he's sick, and she's selling her blood for him!" "On the sixteenth prank, she fell into the ocean… And on the fifteenth, she was sent flying in a car crash! Why is she so hard to kill?" "Well, Andy already made it clear that if she survives until the end, he will marry her and swear off women!" "One month to go! Will she die from the pranks, or marry into the Lawson family with pomp and circumstance?" "I'm betting fifty mil that she dies tragically! Hahaha!"

"From one Ms. Jane Smith."Andy's muddled eyes lit up just from hearing Jane's name."Jane?" He asked urgently. "How is she? Has she recovered? Is she still upset with me?"The courier shook his head. "She was pronounced dead at a hospital just yesterday morning. You have our condolences."All thoughts left Andy's mind, but the courier's response remained the same even though he kept pressing him in his disbelief.Devastated, he opened the document folder and found stacks of papers, recording call logs and chat history.Naturally, that meant every moment Jane was pranked, as well as the threats Sunny and Mandy had sent her.Andy was howling and bawling hysterically after going through everything.Jane had found out, but she gave him a chance anyway and asked him to stop lying.But he had to be stubborn, presuming that there was still time and Jane w
Andy's eyes were crimson as he demanded through clenched teeth, "Jane's perfectly healthy! Why would she be sick?!""My mom's a doctor!" Sunny cried. "She was there when Jane was getting examined."Andy felt as if his life was drained out of him in that split second.-Ever since that day, Andy had locked himself in his room and kept drinking.He sent Jane countless messages, but each were read but never responded to.At that point, he understood that Jane was really done with him.That was when a courier arrived from another rich family, "As per our heiress' request, these crystal shoes are yours since you've accomplished the prank. And she also sends her best wishes that your marriage with Mandy will be passionate and eternal."Andy snorted. Eternal? With Mandy? Who would want that?It was true he took up the prank game for Mandy—the Stiles family was rich and powerful, and marrying her would help his career greatly.But amidst that practical joke, he had fallen in love w
It was midnight on the hour of our fifth anniversary, as grand fireworks thundered in the dark night sky. "Don't you think it's beautiful?" Andy asked, smiling at me affectionately."Yeah," I replied flatly, my heart calm as I was no longer lovesick.He then dropped on one knee and took out a ring box, realizing the fantasy I had of him proposing.That was when Sunny came up to me, whispering into my ear, "Here comes the prank!"Even as my mind went blank, he pulled out a remote and pressed a button, and everyone's heads jerked around as a recording of Andy's voice boomed."I feel like I could get sick everytime I see Jane's face! She's actually eating leftovers out of a chute!""I wouldn't even date her, if I didn't have to get Mandy's favorite crystal shoes with this prank.""Someone like her is fated to be a garbage picker. And she wants to marry me? Dream on!""There's no way I'd fall for her! Are you kidding me?! Or do you brats have hots for tramps?!"Andy's smile sti
My leg was too swollen to walk by the time I got off the hill, and I checked in at the nearest hotel I could find.Later, my mother called me again, urging me to head abroad since my illness couldn't wait.I realized that there was no point in staying too—it was true that I loved Andy, but he had also done much to hurt me.So it was time to part ways, and I didn't want to make things ugly.Sunny called me on video at 1 am, but I hung up without looking twice.He called again, and I answered, ready to snap, only to find Andy sitting alone, drinking.His eyes were puffy, and he looked like he was crying.One of his rich kid friends came and said, "Hey, did you know what I saw earlier? Jane was coughing blood!"Andy kept drinking in silence, while Sunny said, "Probably more of her tricks to tempt my cousin. But y'all know Andy—Mandy is the only one for him, and there's nothing Jane can do about it."Hilarious! Somehow, my illness was a trick!I watched as Andy finished his drink
After I had my sprain tended to, I overheard Andy snapping at Sunny and the others, "Are you people crazy?! We came out to have fun, but you had to kick her?"Sunny laughed as he threw an arm around his shoulders. "Come on—Mandy got a divorce for you. What would she think if she catches you babying another woman?"Andy shook his hand off and glowered, but said nothing.My heart in pieces, I continued alone up the hill.While I was looking forward to what pranks they had in store for me this time, I guessed Andy must have planned it himself this time around!Suddenly, my vision blackened and I fainted.When I opened my eyes again, I had been taken deep into the woods, with no one in sight aside from several pudgy middle-aged men.I had seen them in Andy's livestream—they were drinking with Andy at the time.Seeing me stir, they started to loosen their belts."Ho, she's quite hot! I wonder what she'd taste like!""Go on, get down on your knees and call me daddy!"I was curious
Andy set up a hiking event in his friend group, and said that he would be going back home after the prank.[I will be bringing Jane.]Sunny was going to say no, but soon realized that it might be a new prank.On the day the Lawson family announced that Sunny would take over the family business, Andy took my hand as he told me that he made up with family, and would like to introduce me to his friends. He then asked, "Are you coming with us on the hiking trip?"Andy looked at me tenderly then, knowing full well that I really liked that look and couldn't resist any request he asked with those eyes.That was when my phone vibrated—text from Sunny: [I heard you're coming hiking with us? I wonder, should we push you off the cliff, or let some of the boys…]Bitterness swelled in me, and I slammed my phone on the table and asked quietly, "Do they want me there?"Andy tugged on me endearingly like a child, "Of course! They are my friends, and you'll see them more from now on. It's goin
