All Chapters of Engagement Night: The Video I Wasn't Meant to See: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Not even ten minutes after I forwarded the video to the university group chat, there was an uproar."Isn't that Lenard? Look at his hand go! Is he trying to start a fire or something?""Did he have to do this in the middle of the night? I guess he must find it thrilling.""Hold on. Isn't Lenard supposed to be Mandy's boyfriend? Then why did the video come from Jonathan, Sarah's boyfriend?"In an instant, everyone was madly tagging me, Sarah Lindt, Lenard Johnson, and Mandy Sutton.My phone rang as Mandy tried to call me, but I ignored it; my room door happened to burst open at that exact moment.It was none other than my dear girlfriend, Sarah.She had clearly just finished showering; her body was still clad in a towel while water dripped from her hair. "Jonathan Goodwell, have you gone crazy?"Snatching up a nearby vase, she charged toward me and brought it down on my head.I didn't move, allowing the vase to smash against my forehead. Immediately, blood began dripping down

The average person couldn't possibly imagine the hardships I'd endured—what it was like to go from a wild child fighting stray dogs for food, looked down on by everyone, to where I was today. All the blood and tears I'd shed over the years had taught me one thing—never show your full hand to anyone. Not even your lover. From the moment we met, Sarah had simply assumed that I was a somewhat well-off startup founder, and nothing more. Little did she know, the primary investor who had funded her company was me. Sitting down on the genuine leather couch, I crossed my legs and gave her a long, assessing look."Help pay for their house, huh? No problem. I'll personally deliver the money to him in a few days."At first, Sarah was displeased that I wouldn't just transfer the money to her directly. However, after a moment's thought, she realized she would benefit from this regardless, so it didn't matter how I did it. What was more important to her was whether I could actually fork out

While everyone's attention was focused on Mandy and Lenard, I seized the opportunity to lunge forward and snatch my phone from the floor.A second later, Lenard's grunts and Sarah's moans were blaring through the room. The sound of skin on skin and the filthy, vulgar words they said to each other dropped like a bomb. Immediately, everyone crowded closer to get a better look at the video. Through the gap in the door, they could only vaguely see the figures, but there was no denying that those voices belonged to Lenard and Sarah. Stunned, Mandy stopped crying tears of joy. Two streaks of salt-stained tracks dried quickly on her cheeks. Lenard panicked and began shouting, though he fumbled his words. "Y-You… This… This must be fake!"Despite his volume, there was no hiding the way his voice shook.Scoffing, I walked toward him and lashed out, landing a kick right between his legs. His eyes instantly rolled into the back of his head as he collapsed, rolling around in agony.The s

Sarah managed to squeeze out a smile, though it looked more like a grimace. "I'll talk to Lenard and tell him to stop. He'll listen to me."Upon hearing that, I snorted. "He was arrested today, so you'll have to visit him at the police station."With a curse, Sarah stormed off.A few days later, the video actually stopped trending.After having Marcus look into it, I learned that Sarah had spent several million dollars to have it removed from the trending list.Although she was a CEO, her yearly income was only a few million; combined with her lavish spending habits, her company essentially had no working capital left. She had likely spent every cent of her savings on that one move. I was in a great mood, but the next day, she came to me with a million dollars as an apology. This was the first time she had ever given me money in all our years together, and that it happened under these circumstances was deeply ironic. Naturally, I didn't refuse money that dropped right into my
