Chapter 1

The ice-cold air conditioning in the arrivals hall blasted against my skin as the PA system announced international landings.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, my phone vibrating non-stop in my palm.Notifications from the group chat were flying up the screen.The group name made my stomach turn.[Congrats to Marcus on his new ugly maid!]The old photo posted by Jason had already been turned into cruel memes by everyone in the chat.In that photo, my skin was rough and breaking out, but the worst part was my severe buckteeth.That was me before I left for London three years ago.The guys in the group were loving every second of it.[@Jason Dude, even with the lights off, that face would give a guy nightmares.][Holy shit, Jason, you’re brutal! She looks frightening! Marcus got totally scammed!][A bet's a bet, Marcus! You gotta bring the monster to the yacht party tomorrow! No excuses!]Someone immediately started a poll in the chat.[Betting cash: Will the ug

I opened the contract document.The terms were degrading. It stated that I had to obey Marcus’s every command unconditionally for an entire year.Instead of replying to Jason, I downloaded the file and forwarded it directly to my friend, David Sawyer, a defense attorney.[Can you check this out? Does this count as coercion?]David replied in seconds.[It crosses into coercion and illegal restraint. Save every piece of evidence. Whatever you do, do NOT sign or thumbprint it.]I texted back.[Got it.] Seeing that I hadn't responded, Jason thought I was paralyzed with fear. He sent another text to up the pressure.[Play your cards right on the yacht tomorrow. If Marcus’s happy, I might throw an extra five grand into your family’s wedding gift fund.]Five thousand dollars.In Jason’s eyes, my dignity, my freedom, and my future were worth five grand.I took another screenshot and saved it to the folder.I slipped my phone back into my bag and pulled out a pair of oversized s

Surrounded by their loud, public humiliation, I kept my head down and forced my shoulders to tremble.I reached out, taking the pen with a deliberately shaky hand.Inside my trench coat pocket, my other hand slipped the digital voice recorder to ON."Jason..." I forced my voice to crack, sounding as if I were on the verge of tears. "Are you really trading me away to him?"Instead of showing a shred of guilt, Jason looked thrilled to show off in front of his friends.He strutted over and shoved my shoulder hard."Stop whining!"His harsh voice carried clearly into the hidden microphone."Working for Marcus is a privilege! You’re paying off my hundred-grand poker debt, so sign the damn paper!"The force of his push made me stumble backward, almost hitting the metal railing.I balanced myself and looked down at the contract.I didn't sign my name. Instead, I dipped my thumb into the black ink pad and pressed a smudged, unidentifiable print onto the line.As I did, my eyes ca

Those words traveled loud and clear through Marcus’s phone straight into his livestream.And straight into my own phone hidden behind my back.Working blindly from memory with my hands behind my coat, I had opened my verified account, the one with over ten million followers.I hit ‘Go Live,’ mirroring the stream.A quiet chime echoed from my app in the background.Holding his phone high, Marcus grew impatient as I hesitated to pull off the coat. Comments from his top donors flooded the live stream, demanding action.He lost his temper completely.Marcus lunged forward, grabbing my wrist with enough force to shatter my bone."Giving you a chance and you're acting like a snob?"Marcus’s breath reeked of alcohol as he glared at me."Jason! Rip off her mask! Let the guys see what this hideous freak actually looks like!"Jason stepped up with a nasty grin.He reached out, snagging the strap of my mask behind my ear."Let's give everyone a show!"Jason shouted, yanking his ar

A sudden silence fell over the deck.Jason pointed a finger at me, his hand shaking violently."You... you got plastic surgery?!"His voice hit a high, screeching pitch, laced with terror and disbelief."Three hundred grand for full face reconstruction?! Where did you get that kind of money?!"He was finally processing reality, but his instinct wasn't guilt, it was to throw more trash at me.By now, the chat on Marcus's phone had completely gone off the rails.My army of ten million followers was destroying the comment section.[Did you just kidnap Lily?! Saved and reported!][What debt settlement? What striptease? Are these creeps running an illegal detention on international waters?!][Call the cops! I already sent the stream link to the authorities!]Red system warnings flashed wildly across Marcus's screen.Less than ten seconds later…Marcus’s screen went pitch black. A massive system message popped up:[Account Permanently Banned: Severe Violations.]Marcus froze f

The guard spat nastily on the deck.The network signal was cut instantly, abruptly ending the stream on my main account.Seeing this, Jason whipped out a black satellite phone.He dialed his family company's head of PR, his voice frantic and vicious."Get on the phone with the platform right now! Pay whatever it takes to pull Lily's name off the trending list!"I don't care about the cost, get her account banned! Hurry!"Hanging up, Jason let out a long breath, regaining his arrogance.Marcus, clutching his swollen cheek, stomped over to the table.He grabbed the printed agreement bearing my thumbprint and slammed it hard onto the glass surface."What good are your followers now?"Marcus snarled, stepping closer to me. "Red ink on white paper, complete with a thumbprint. You sold yourself to me today!"Out on the open sea, I could dump your body overboard and no one would ever know!"The guards cornered me, forcing me back step by step into the yacht's inner cabin.In th

The lead Coast Guard officer’s expression went grim. He gestured to his crew. "Take every single one of them back to the dock for questioning!"Half an hour later, the yacht docked.The moment I stepped off the gangway and cleared the signal jammer’s range, my phone powered back on. A mountain of push notifications flooded my screen like a blizzard.[VIRAL: Mega-Influencer Lily Vance Allegedly Kidnapped by Trust-Fund Heirs!][LEAKED: Leaked Recording Shows Tech Heir Forcing Illegal Debt Settlement!]Jason was handcuffed and being shoved toward a police cruiser when his phone buzzed frantically.It was his father.The moment he hit answer, his father's furious roar echoed so loud I could hear every word from ten feet away."What the hell did you do, you idiot?!"No PR agency will touch this! Every single business partner just canceled their contracts! Our stock has crashed to zero!"Jason held the phone, completely frozen.I opened my app. The number one trending topic wa

I smoothly dodged his desperate grab and pulled another stamped official document from my bag, holding it up for everyone in the room to see."While studying in Europe, I earned eight million dollars legally as an influencer," I said, my gaze locked onto Jason's panicked face. "Jason, you're not just a dirty gambler. You're a parasite."Jason’s parents stared at the overdue loan notices, shaking with rage.His father turned around and delivered a vicious slap straight to Jason’s face.SLAP!"You useless bastard! Where did you put the corporate funds?!"The Miller family completely turned on itself, launching into a screaming match right in the middle of the police station.Seeing his chance, Marcus’s defense attorney stepped forward with a slick briefcase to throw Jason under the bus.He handed a printed stack of bank transfer records to the officer on duty."Officer, Jason owed my client a million dollars in gambling debts. He was the one who offered to hand over his fiancée

Chapter 9

Hearing his own recorded voice, Jason’s hand trembled so violently he almost dropped the knife.Capitalizing on his distraction, two officers tackled him to the floor, pinning him down in a restraint maneuver.The utility knife clattered uselessly onto the polished tile floor with a sharp clang.I walked over to Jason as he lay pinned to the ground, looking down at him with cold detachment."Did you really think that bogus contract would ruin me?"My voice was ice cold. "It was nothing more than your ticket to a prison cell."The lead detective walked out holding a freshly printed arrest warrant and slapped heavy steel handcuffs onto both Jason and Marcus."Charges include illegal gambling, extortion, coercion, and assault with a deadly weapon. You are both held without bail!"Jason let out a desperate, guttural scream as he was dragged away. At the same moment, his parents' phones began buzzing uncontrollably with calls from debt collectors and court process servers.---S
