Chapter 1

Scott looked at the message from the unknown account and suddenly laughed."Babe, you finally figured out how to get under my skin."He shook his phone lightly, stood up, and pulled me into his arms. "This is on me. For the last ninety-nine times, you never really got mad. So you've finally learned to be upset, huh?""I'm not 'getting upset.'" I pushed him away. "I'm breaking up with you. For real.""Hahaha!"Scott wrapped his arm around me again. "Okay, okay. I know I messed up. They say fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me… but you put up with me ninety-nine times. Of course I should've gotten a clue."That's why I came back this time. To make it right."A gift box appeared in front of me.When I opened it, twelve pigeon's blood rubies lay inside, perfectly arranged."Last year around this time, you said you'd marry the man who bought you sunrise rubies. Sweetheart, twelve stones—one for every month. Do you like what I've been working on this past year?"W

The photo showed twenty-four flawless sapphires, gleaming inside a custom velvet jewelry box.Simone's slender fingers rested on the lid. On her ring finger was a designer diamond ring.[Compared to red, blue is way classier. And since someone gave me his one-and-only, lifetime custom slot… I guess I can forgive you.]Scott liked the post.[Thank you for your mercy, Simone.]Beneath it, their mutual friends had lined up in the likes section.In the past, I probably would have cried, made a scene, and demanded an explanation from Scott.But this time, I just tapped "like," then deleted Simone's contact.I deleted all those so-called mutual friends, too.The account using my half of the couple picture suddenly sent a message.[Fiona, when I switched to the matching profile pic with you… it wasn't just to help you vent. I actually…[You know what I mean, right?]I sighed.[Thank you, Tommy. I understand, and I really appreciate you having my back.[I'm just not looking for a

"I said we're really broken up! Do you not get it?! If you still don't believe me… fine. I'll say it right here in front of everyone, one more time: Scott and I are over!"Scott's smile vanished.Someone in the crowd let out a derisive snort."So, is she for real or what?""It's an act. I'll bet five dollars.""Ten!""A grand!""No way, seriously?""What, you actually think she means it?""Psh, figures. Let's keep it small then—ten thousand!""Wait, no one's betting that she's over him for real? What's even the point? Hahaha!"Simone raised her hand."100,000 dollars. I bet she's serious.""HAHAHAHAHA!"Sharp glares and shrill laughter closed in around me. I clenched my fists.The elevator doors slid open again, and I turned to leave."Hey! Fiona, don't go!"Simone lunged for me just as the doors began to close.Her movement was too violent—half my body got caught in the doors. With a loud groan, the elevator jolted downward a short distance.I staggered and collapsed

Scott glanced at Simone.The cold distance he'd just shown me had melted away, replaced by warmth and tender affection."Hmph!" Simone pouted dramatically. "For a second there, I really thought you were done listening to me!""How could I ever do that?" Scott tapped her nose lightly. "No cameras in the bathroom. Definitely your handiwork, Simone.""Obviously! Fine… I'll consider forgiving you this time. But—" She shot a razor-sharp look in my direction. "She still owes me an apology!""Fiona." Scott looked down at me, his voice flat. "Apologize."I clenched my jaw so hard it ached, the metallic taste of blood seeping from my bitten cheek."What did you say?"Simone leaned in closer.The next second, I spat a mouthful of blood directly into her face."AHH!"Her pristine white dress was now splattered with shocking red. "Disgusting! You disgusting trash!""Fiona!"Scott grabbed my chin, his fingers digging in. "I told you to apologize, not make this worse! Why can't you just

"Fiona?"In the private room, Tommy watched me carefully.I was curled on the sofa, hugging my knees, silent tears tracing down my face."Don't cry," he said, his movements gentle but urgent as he wiped my cheeks. "Every video, every photo of you—I had them all taken down. They're gone from the internet.""Thank you, Tommy."I touched my wrist, unfastening the only bracelet I wore and placing it in his palm."I will always remember what you did for me. This bracelet… it was my mother's. When I've established my career, I will come back with the means to repay you and reclaim it.""Fiona!"His voice was sharp as I turned to leave. Tommy swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing."I helped you because I care about you, not because I want anything back."I kept my back to him."Fiona…" His breath hitched slightly. "I need you to understand. I have feelings for you—not to take anything from you, but because I want to give you everything."I finally turned. My face was already we

I called out calmly, "Security!" "What… what are you doing?" Simone stared as a line of bodyguards filed out of the private room.I tilted my chin up, a faint smile on my lips as I met her gaze."Strip Simone and throw her out onto the street.""You—!"Simone recoiled in terror."Get away from me! Don't touch me! Do you have any idea who Scott is? If you lay a hand on me, he will ruin you!""Shut up!"A slap landed squarely on her face. The bodyguard looked impatient. "Who the fuck is that? He doesn't hold half the influence of our boss, Mr. Cooper."Blood trickled from the corner of Simone's mouth as she stared at me, stunned."What…?""Stop!" A furious shout rang out.The sound of leather shoes came fast—faster than ever before.Scott kicked the bodyguard gripping Simone by the collar straight in the chest, sending him coughing up blood."Who the hell do you think you are, putting your hands on her?!""Scott!" Simone burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

Chapter 7

Ahead, dozens of their mutual friends held up welcome banners and streamers.Scott stepped forward."Welcome back, Scott!""Our man is free! I'm hosting the party tonight!""Scott, aren't you happy to see Simone? She's been getting ready since dawn!"Scott turned his head.Simone smiled delicately, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with a hint of shyness.But Scott's gaze shifted past her.One by one, he moved through the crowd of friends.Only when the last person had stepped aside did he speak, "Where's Fiona?"The friends froze."I asked you—where is Fiona?!"They quickly pulled Simone forward."Scott, Simone is right here.""Fiona…" His tone was darker than ever. "Where is she?"…Life abroad was exceptionally busy.Immersed in work, time was never as plentiful as before, but watching my achievements grow and my bank balance steadily rise gave me a sense of peace I'd never known.So when Scott found me, I was caught off guard.This was the man who had once

Chapter 8

"I got your revenge for you." Scott looked at me, his eyes red-rimmed. "Does that… make it any better?"I tore the pictures to shreds and threw them in his face."You think she is the only monster?"Scott stared at me, momentarily speechless.I stepped toward him, closing the distance."Do you really think Simone alone could have hurt me this badly? Are you actually that stupid, or are you just pretending? Without you backing her up, do you really think she could've done any of this to me?!"I slapped him across the face, hard.Arrogant as Scott was, he'd never been struck like that before. Shock flashed in his eyes as he stared at me.I took two steps back, turned, and began to walk away."Fiona!" His hoarse shout stopped me in my tracks.I turned around and saw him kneeling on the floor."What will it take for you to forgive me? Just don't marry Tommy. I'll do anything you want."I froze.At the same time, the door behind us opened.Tommy stood in the doorway, his eyes
