Chapter 1

On my third day driving for a ride-hailing app, I picked up a female passenger who was completely wasted.Early the next morning, the police knocked on my door.At the station, the woman pointed straight at my face and screamed, “It was this driver! He raped me while I was drunk in the car. I’m still bleeding down there!”Her boyfriend lunged at me, trying to punch me, but the officers restrained him.People at the station started pulling out their phones to record, shouting insults like “scumbag” and “pervert" at me. An officer who wore a gloomy face asked, “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”I calmly took off my baseball cap. I even thought about unbinding my chest.“Officer, there’s something I’m really curious about. I’m a woman. With what, exactly, would I have made her bleed?”…The young officer taking the statement froze for a moment. His eyes flicked between my flat chest and my Adam’s apple.I cut my hair into a buzz cut for safety purposes when driving a n

Chapter 2

I shook Aileen off. “You’re insane. Get your head checked.”I thought it was just a farce. Once I pulled the dashcam footage, everything would be cleared up. However, I underestimated just how vicious this woman was.…Back at my rental room, I was about to export the video when my phone suddenly started vibrating nonstop. Notifications came flooding in. There were hundreds of text messages, and even my social media account was popping up with endless friend requests.My hands trembled as I played the video that was constantly being sent to me. Onscreen, Aileen was sobbing hysterically. Her voice was hoarse with emotion as she accused me of rape.My shout of claiming to be a woman was cut out completely, leaving only the footage of me red‑faced and flustered. I looked like I was trying to explain myself.The caption was horrifying:[Ride-Hailing Horror! Perverted Driver Rapes Drunk Female Passenger, Then Walks Out of Police Station Using Connections!][Victim’s Boyfriend Brea

Chapter 3

I could only curl up and protect my head, choking on broken sobs.No one tried to stop it. Someone even stepped on the back of my hand just to get a better camera angle.They shouted excitedly into their phones, “Guys! This is the rapist! Get a good look at his face!”“The top gifter is going crazy! Ten rockets if you break a leg! Nelson, did you hear that? Break his leg!”“Beat him to death! Trash like this shouldn't be left to live!”Aileen stood in the middle of the crowd with her arms crossed. She didn't try to stop them. Instead, she was fanning the flames.“Nelson! Break his hands! Those filthy hands touched me. Cripple them!”“Kick him in the crotch! Make sure he can never be a man again!”The sharp crack of bones breaking made my scalp go numb. The pain exploded, my vision went black, and a metallic sweetness surged up my throat.I spat out a mouthful of blood and foam, clinging to the last shred of consciousness as I stared at Aileen’s hypocritical face. My voice came

“My reputation is ruined. I’ve lost my boyfriend. I’ve lost my job. You owe me.”I whispered, barely able to get the words out, “Owe you… how?”A sharp glint flashed through Aileen’s eyes. She turned to the camera and announced loudly, “I want you to marry me! Since you ruined me, you’ll be responsible for me for the rest of my life!“And you’re signing all your assets over to me—as a wedding gift! That’s what you owe me!”I almost laughed from sheer anger. Aileen did not just want to destroy me; she also wanted to drain me dry.Unbelievably, the live chat erupted in applause:[Perfect punishment! Make him grind for the rest of his life to pay for it!][Aileen is savage! That’s exactly how men like this should be dealt with!][Say yes! If you don’t, let him rot in prison!]Aileen stepped closer and lowered her voice, “If you don’t agree, I’ll make sure your parents get hit by a car the moment they step outside. I know where your family lives. I even know you’ve got a younger s

Chapter 5

The air went completely still.Everyone in the lobby was staring at the ID in the clerk’s hand.Meanwhile, the live chat exploded.[Wait… She’s a woman?][Did I hear that right? Casey’s female? Then what's Aileen even doing, trying to force a marriage?][What the hell is going on? Is Casey actually innocent?]The look on Aileen’s face was priceless. There was shock, confusion, and panic all at once.The clerk pushed up her glasses and tossed the ID back to her.“Are you still trying to register for marriage? We don’t handle same-sex marriages here."“N-No way! That’s impossible!”Finally, Aileen seemed to come back to her senses. She snatched my ID, flipping it over frantically. “This has to be fake! You got a fake ID to trick me!”She jabbed her finger at my nose while screaming, saliva flying in all directions.I let out a cold laugh, clenching my teeth against the pain of my broken ribs. With a swift motion, I ripped open my hospital gown.Beneath it was a medical chest

Chapter 6

This time, the police did not give Aileen the benefit of the doubt.“That’s enough! If she’s a pervert, the hospital will prove it!” It was the same officer who had taken my statement that day. He looked at my battered body with a mix of guilt and anger.“Casey, don’t worry. If this turns out to be a false accusation, we won't let it slide.”We were escorted to the city’s top-tier hospital.Nelson was brought along too. He was the victim’s boyfriend and also the man who had hit me.Aileen visibly shrank back when she saw Nelson.Nelson did not yet know the full story. His face still twisted in fury as he glared at me. “What the hell are you looking at? Once I get out, you’re dead!”I ignored him and said to the doctor, “Please run a full gynecological exam, plus a complete infectious disease screening. Pay particular attention to syphilis and genital herpes.”At the mention of those words, Aileen’s entire body shuddered. She nearly collapsed to the floor.“I’m not doing it!

“Also…” The doctor glanced at Nelson. “I’d suggest this gentleman get tested too. It’s highly contagious.”Nelson’s eyes instantly turned red. He fixed a murderous glare on Aileen.“Three months… Aileen, didn’t you say you were on a business trip to Shor three months ago? You… You went to sell yourself, didn’t you?!”Aileen stumbled back, terrified.“Nelson, please, listen to me… It’s not like that… It’s a misdiagnosis! Yes! It has to be a misdiagnosis! I love you, Nelson! How could I ever betray you?”She reached out to grab his hand, but Nelson slapped her across the face with brutal force. The impact sent her flying into a bench in the hallway. Blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth.“Bitch! Trash!” He went berserk, raining blows on her with fists and feet. “I treated you so damn well! Gave you every penny I earned! And you used my money to support some pretty boy? You brought back a filthy disease to ruin me?!“No wonder you’ve been refusing me lately. You w

“Doesn’t matter. There are no cameras anyway… Nelson’s an idiot. He’ll believe anything I say…”The audio was crystal clear, and the video quality was razor-sharp.Every word landed like a slap across Aileen's face, as well as the faces of everyone who had joined the online witch hunt.The crowd erupted.“Oh my goodness! She’s vicious!”“That’s pure evil.”“And Nelson deserves it too. He picked a woman like that and helped her ruin someone else’s life!”As Nelson listened to the recording, he looked like he had gotten his soul sucked out of him. He collapsed to the floor. He knew it was over.Not only had he been cheated on and infected with a disease, but he had also become a national laughingstock and now faced prison time for aggravated assault. All for a woman who had played him like a fool.I looked at the two of them and felt nothing but cold satisfaction.“Aileen, Nelson, this is just the beginning.”…The days that followed were eventful. Both Aileen and Nelson were

“Otherwise, that younger sister of yours, the one in elementary school, might not make it home safely one day after class.”It was the same old trick, using my family to threaten me.My gaze turned icy in an instant. It felt like my blood was on fire.Aileen had threatened me. Now, these people were doing the same. Did they really think I was someone they could push around?“Who’s your boss?” I asked.“You don’t have the right to know,” the man sneered. “All you need to understand is this. Crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant.”“Is that so?” I suddenly laughed. The smile on my face was strange, almost unsettling.“Then do you know why I deliberately left the door unlocked tonight?”The three men froze for a second. The next second, the wardrobe door in the ward burst open. Plain clothes police officers stormed out with their guns raised. The black muzzles aimed straight at the group.“Police! Don’t move! Drop your weapons!”The truth was, ever since Aileen threate

Chapter 10

The gavel came down.“The defendant, Aileen Hayes, is found guilty of false accusation, extortion, and harboring a criminal organization. Due to the multiple offenses, she's sentenced to 12 years in prison, deprivation of political rights for three years, and a fine of half a million dollars.“The defendant, Nelson Mullins, is found guilty of intentional assault and provoking trouble, and is sentenced to five years in prison.“Both defendants are ordered to jointly compensate the plaintiff, Casey Gray, for economic losses totaling 1.28 million dollars.”At the sound of the verdict, Aileen’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted. Nelson slumped into his chair like a pile of mud. He muttered under his breath, “It’s over… It’s all over…”As I stepped out of the courthouse, reporters surged toward me.“Ms. Gray, how do you feel right now?”“Ms. Gray, are you satisfied with the outcome?”I pulled my baseball cap down, blocking the harsh sunlight. Beyond the crowd, I saw my parents and m
