Chapter 7

Author: Green Pick
The plane cut through the clouds, a sky full of stars stretching out beyond the window.

I leaned back in my seat, closed my eyes, and finally let out a long breath.

I had turned my phone off before takeoff, but I could already imagine the chaos online.

My mind drifted back five years.

On a whim, I had decided to go abroad and make something of myself. My father didn't stop me. He just said that if I ever got tired, I could come home anytime.

That was when I met Fred.

He was attentive and

    The room erupted into applause.Everyone was on their feet, clapping, voices rising in excitement.Everyone except Fred. He stood there, frozen, as if he couldn't process what he had just heard."That's impossible… It can't be…"His voice was barely more than a whisper, his face drained of color."You're lying… Hannah, you're lying, right? If you had money, then why would you ever…"I looked at him and cut him off quietly, "Have him escorted out.""No. Hannah… I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please, just give me one more chance. I swear I'll treat you right. I'll…""That's enough." I stepped back, disgust curling in my chest.Easton moved forward, placing himself between us, then gave a small nod to security. "Take him out."Two guards stepped in immediately, grabbing Fred and dragging him toward the exit."Hannah! Hannah!" He struggled, his voice cracking as he shouted, "I love you! I really love you! You can't do this to me…"His voice faded as he was pulled out through

    On the day of the wedding, the estate was packed with guests.That invitation had been sent to Fred on purpose.I knew he had been looking for me, so I gave him exactly what he wanted: a front-row seat to my wedding.Soft music filled the air as Easton and I faced each other and exchanged vows.Just as we were about to exchange rings, a voice cut through the moment."I object!"Fred rushed forward like he had lost his mind.Every head turned.He stared straight at me, his eyes wild, almost unhinged."Hannah, you're my girlfriend! We were together for five years. How can you just marry someone else, like it means nothing? I know you're just mad at me. I'll change, I swear. I've already cut Ayla off. I don't even talk to those guys anymore. Let's go home, okay?"He was breathing hard, reaching for me.Easton stepped in front of him, blocking him without hesitation.I looked at Fred and let out a small, cold laugh."Which part of 'we're done' do you not understand? It's over

  • The Girlfriend Selection   Chapter 8

    Fred hadn't slept in three days.It wasn't that he didn't want to. Every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Hannah's face.After that night, his PR team pulled an emergency meeting and worked nonstop, trying everything to contain the damage.But it didn't matter. The situation online had already spun out of control.Videos from the gala and all the evidence spread everywhere. His company's stock crashed. Partners started pulling out one after another. Reporters camped outside the office every day.The friends he used to call brothers turned on him without hesitation, pushing all the blame onto him to save themselves."The whole selection thing was Fred's idea. We were just dragged into it.""Yeah, he threatened to cut off business ties if we didn't go along. We're victims, too."The same people who used to laugh and drink with him now acted as if they had never known him.But what broke him the most was that he couldn't find Hannah.He searched everywhere, but there was

On a whim, I had decided to go abroad and make something of myself. My father didn't stop me. He just said that if I ever got tired, I could come home anytime.That was when I met Fred.He was attentive and thoughtful. He would bring me late-night takeout when I worked overtime, drive across the city just to deliver my favorite flowers, and stay up all night by my bedside when I was sick.Back then, I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world.Now, I knew better. It had all been an act.The burns on my legs had mostly healed, but faint scars remained. It served as a reminder of a lesson I would never forget.By the time we landed, it was already late at night.At the arrivals gate, a tall f

    The next second, the screen lit up.Everything I had gathered over the past month started playing.Screenshots of chat logs, audio clips. Piece after piece, laying out exactly what Fred's group had been doing.Dating multiple girls at once, scoring them like products, tossing out anyone who didn't meet their standards, then laughing about it and humiliating them.The entire room went dead quiet. People just stared, stunned.One of Fred's friends snapped first, shouting, "Who did this? Shut it off, now!"Fred's face had gone completely pale. He spun around, searching for me in a panic.But I was already gone.By the time chaos broke out, I was in the backseat of a car, heading for the airport.-Back at the venue, right as everything started falling apart, the doors slammed open.A group of girls rushed in, the ones who had been lied to and thrown away. Behind them came dozens of reporters and influencers, cameras already rolling.Their eyes burned with anger as they pointed

    On the night of the gala, Fred invited a long list of big names from the business world, along with plenty of well-known faces.Of course, his usual crowd was there as well.For the past month, I had played along as if nothing had happened. I acted sweet and agreeable, like I had let everything go.Fred bought it. He even dialed things back with Ayla a little and started acting like we were back to normal.He told me he had a surprise planned for the gala. I already knew what it was.Tonight, he was going to propose to me.When his friends saw me, their eyes wandered all over me, their tone careless and suggestive."You look amazing tonight, Hannah.""Man, you're lucky. A girlfriend like her? Damn. I need to find someone just as stunning someday."I smiled and played along, nodding politely, while internally, I had already rolled my eyes a dozen times.The party was in full swing when the lights suddenly cut out. A spotlight dropped straight onto me. Soft violin music filled
