Chapter 1 Aidan Stewart

"Are you sure?" the professor asked from the other end of the line. "This means staying abroad for a long time. Weren't you reluctant to leave your girlfriend before?"I looked at the woman who was supposed to love me.She was chatting happily with her friends. The smile that appeared when she heard Aidan's name still lingered on her face.I looked down at the ground and whispered, "Nope. It's just my wishful thinking all along."The professor didn't comment on it. "Alright. I'll book your flight. You leave in three days, so start preparing."…After the call ended, I took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked into the room.My presence attracted everyone's attention. They began to exchange whispers among themselves."Look. It's the guy chasing Selena. Isn't he obedient? He really can't stay away from her, can he?""Mind your words! He's Selena's boyfriend! Do you know he's a genius?""So what if he's a genius? At the end, he followed her to the community college and was

Chapter 2 A Close Friend

"Cut it out already! Do you think Aidan can't hear you gossiping about him?" Selena snapped.Her friends were stunned into silence. Nobody expected her to get so worked up.After all, when they mocked me earlier, she had brushed it off as harmless teasing. But now, for Aidan's sake, she lost her temper and yelled at them.I instantly realized where I stood in her heart.I lowered my head to hide the sad smile that threatened to emerge.Just then, I noticed Aidan approaching me. "You must be Selena's boyfriend. Nice to meet you. I'm Aidan Stewart."He stepped closer, lowering his voice so only I could hear. "Did you see how much she cares about me? You don't stand a chance against me."But all I could see was the amulet hanging around his neck.It was a worn black obsidian necklace.Noticing where my gaze had landed, he pulled out the necklace and flashed me a grin. "What is it? Is something wrong with the amulet Selena gave me? I declined it, but she insisted, saying it really

Chapter 3 A Closure

What I didn't expect was Selena visiting me at my dorm, eagerly explaining, "Noah, please hear me out. I didn't mean to introduce you as a friend. It's just that I once told Aidan I was single, and I didn't want him to think I lied. "You understand where I'm coming from, right? You're the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for."She hooked her arm around my waist and snuggled against me, but I couldn't feel any affection from her.Worse, the thought of being touched by her disgusted me.I gently pushed her away and said casually, "Sure. It's fine. I understand.""I've always known you're the best, Noah. Love you!" Surprised, she kissed me and left with glee.To her, I was the one who could be easily brushed off. She believed that showing a little affection would soothe me and make me grateful.However, she was wrong.I turned away and wiped my tears.I was participating in the College Students' Mathematical Modeling Competition the next day. Selena and I had registered as a

Chapter 4 Selena's Arrival

My life abroad had been going well. I had adapted to spending most of my time in the lab, and the drug research was progressing steadily.After I left, Selena had written me a few long texts and called me a few times.Her first message read, 'Are you out of your mind, Noah? How could you leave in the middle of the competition? Can you be a little more mature? Don't you think it's ridiculous to abandon such an important competition? Are you doing this for attention?'The next one said, 'Thanks to you, people are laughing at me. Stop playing hard to get and come back right now. Do you understand you've put me in a difficult position?'He finally panicked when I didn't reply to her messages.'Say something, Noah. Is this about the rumors between Aidan and me? Don't believe them! None of it is true. They're just trying to break us up.'It was getting annoying, so I blocked her contact number.Then, she called me with another number, asking, "Hello. Is this Noah Page?"I should have

Chapter 5 What's Done Is Done

That same day, Selena bought gifts for every one of my colleagues. They showered me with praises as soon as I showed up."Noah, you're lucky to have a considerate girlfriend like Selena.""Why haven't you mentioned her before? Are you trying to keep her a secret?"I didn't let their words get to me.As usual, I was the last person to leave the lab at midnight.I did not expect to see Selena waiting beneath the streetlight, breathing into her palms to keep warm. When she saw me, she immediately ran over."Finally going home? Great job today!"The black obsidian necklace hung around her neck, swaying gently with her movements.She produced a gift box and handed it to me with a bright smile. "Something for you, Noah. Your colleagues already received theirs."Judging from the logo, I recognized her gift as a set of clothes. I once dreamed of receiving such a gift from her.Sneering, I took the gift and threw it into the nearby bin.Her smile froze on her face."Thanks for the p

Chapter 6 Online Rumors

Lastly, my life returned to its usual peace. After learning Selena's true colors, my colleagues apologized to me.I accepted them with a shrug. "Forget about her. We've reached a crucial point in drug development. Better focus on that instead."To my surprise, there was more room for Selena to mess up.One day, my colleague approached me anxiously. "Noah, you need to take a look out there. Selena and a group of people are blocking the door."My heart sank. The bad feeling returned.Even someone as composed as me nearly lost control when I saw what was happening.A group of people swarmed the lab entrance, blocking the only entry. What was worse was that those faces were familiar.They were our acquaintances.And at the center of it all stood Selena. She was wearing a white wedding dress, holding a bouquet of roses, waiting at the door with a look of longing.When she saw me, she smiled proudly, as if everything was unfolding exactly as she planned. "I knew you'd come. No matte

Chapter 7 Living Life to the Fullest

I pulled another all-nighter doing research. When I woke up, it was four in the morning. Everyone else had already left.Yawning, I got up to make myself a cup of coffee. However, the smell of gasoline hit me.According to lab regulations, all flammable liquids had to be stored properly.My heart clenched at the knowledge. I looked out of the room, only to find the corridor covered in the amber liquid.At the other end of the corridor stood a person."It's been a while, Noah," Aidan said casually. In his hand was a lighter."I've been watching you for a while. You were supposed to be asleep by now. That way, you would've died without pain. Unfortunately, you woke up." He smiled coldly. "Don't blame me. And don't ask why you have to die. Blame Selena. How could she abandon me for you?"He tossed the lighter at the ground and walked away.Flames leaped up instantly. Thick smoke surged through the corridor, choking the air.There was too much fire. There was no way I could esca
