All Chapters of My "Broke" Boyfriend Spoils My Toxic Bestie: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Sadie's POVI, Sadie Cotton, stood frozen for a long time before sending a text message to a number that had contacted me not long ago."I accept your offer. In exchange, I want to be transferred overseas."I was about to turn and leave when Evelyn Moon spotted me."Sadie, come here! I've already picked a ring for you! The diamond is a little small, but it's a great bargain."The word "bargain" had followed Travis White and me through almost our entire five-year relationship.Travis had been raised in a single-parent household. His mother had been in poor health for years and lived in a long-term care facility. After paying her medical expenses, Travis had very little money left from his paychecks.So, I learned to be very frugal so that I could save enough for our wedding. I worked part-time jobs on the weekends, rain or shine. Most of my clothes came from clearance sales or discount racks. Sometimes, I'd even pack up unfinished food from the office cafeteria and eat it for

Sadie's POVBy the time I made it back to my parents' home, it was already 10.30 p.m.I pushed open the door and found my parents eating dinner. They were having a few stale dinner rolls. It barely passed as a meal.I was stunned."Sadie? What are you doing here so suddenly?"They looked panicked. They tried to hide the rolls but had nowhere to put them. In the end, they could only offer awkward smiles."In fact, it's perfect timing. You and Trav have been struggling to save for the wedding, right? So, we've been helping your aunt out at her orchard. The pay is 50 dollars a day."As he spoke, Dad pulled out a bank card and said, "All the money you've sent us over the years is in this card, along with our savings. It's not much, but we did our best."There was dirt smeared across the card from Dad's hands. He hadn't even had time to wash up.My chest tightened painfully. My nose stung, and tears spilled before I could stop them.They should've been enjoying retirement. Instead

Third-person POVThe drive to the hotel should've taken 30 minutes, but Travis made it in ten, speeding through all the red lights and forcing the car as fast as he could.Evelyn clung to her seatbelt, her face pale with fright."Travis, slow down! Maybe Sadie just moved out because she believes in the superstition that the bride and groom shouldn't see each other before the wedding. "You're going to get us killed!"The car screeched to an abrupt stop in the middle of the road, nearly getting rear-ended by another car.Evelyn screamed. Her heart felt like it was about to give out."Get out."Still shaken, she stared at Travis in confusion. "What?"His eyes were cold with impatience. "If you're scared, then get out. Now."Evelyn's eyes immediately reddened. She clenched her fists and stayed silent.When they arrived at the hotel, a manager was greeting guests in the lobby. Without a second thought, Travis stormed over, grabbed him by the shoulder, and demanded, "Where's the

Lucas changed his flight so he could stay one more day to see me off before leaving himself. No matter how many times I told him it wasn't necessary, he kept insisting.In the middle of the night, someone knocked on my hotel room door. Assuming it was Travis, I ignored it.A few moments later, Evelyn's desperate voice came through the door."Sadie, I'm on my period. Do you have any painkillers…"Every month, my own period cramps were bad enough to leave me drenched in cold sweat. So, I knew how miserable it felt. And whenever my cycle came around, Evelyn had always been the one to make ginger tea and prepare heating pads for me.Whether her pain was real or not, I couldn't bring myself to ignore her when it came to this request. I grabbed a bottle of painkillers and opened the door.Evelyn didn't take them. Instead, she cried, her body trembling."Sadie, I knew you still cared about me. I can explain everything about Travis. Yes, I knew about the whole pretending-to-be-broke
