Chapter 1

Lisa Goodner reached out to grab me, but I sidestepped her."Can you not throw a tantrum over something this small?" Her tone softened, turning coaxing.I didn't say anything. I just stared at her coldly.She couldn't hold up under my gaze and let out a sigh. "Fine. I'll talk to him. I'll tell him to leave."She raised both hands in a gesture of surrender. "You're the boss. Happy now?"With that, she turned and walked over to Drew Fenton, keeping her voice low.Drew's shoulders slumped at once. He looked up. "Lisa, is it because Brad doesn't like me?"Did I do something wrong? I'm just feeling down because of my breakup. I only wanted to soak up a little of your happiness."As he spoke, he cast a wounded glance my way, then turned his eyes back to Lisa and grabbed her arm. "Lisa, I know Brad has the wrong idea about us. But you explained it to him, and he still doesn't trust you?"That same look again. That same fake-innocent act again.Something buzzed loudly inside my head.

Lisa panicked. She chased after me, grabbed hold of me, and canceled Drew's ticket on the spot. Then she held up her phone to show me and apologized.A short distance away, Drew watched us with red-rimmed eyes.I fixed Lisa with a cold stare and warned her that this was the last time.With that, I shook off her hand and headed straight for the security checkpoint.Once we boarded the plane, I put on my eye mask, ready to sleep.Before long, I heard the soft tapping of a phone keyboard beside me. I pulled off my eye mask and glanced over.She was typing furiously in a chat with someone saved as "Drewboo."Lisa: [Don't be upset. This is all my fault.]A chill ran through my entire body.She sensed me looking and scrambled to hide her phone."Who are you talking to?" I asked coldly."No one. Just a client." She couldn't look at me.I laughed. "A client named Drewboo?"Her face went deathly pale. "Babe, don't get the wrong idea. I'm just worried he'll do something stupid.""A

Lisa let out a breath of relief. "Babe, see? I sent him away. Can you stop being mad now?"There wasn't a shred of apology in her words.I couldn't be bothered to argue with her anymore. I shook off her hand and went into the room. I lay down on the bed and pulled the covers over my head.She thought I'd fallen asleep.I don't know how much time passed before the buzz of a phone woke me.It was Lisa's phone, sitting on the nightstand. The screen was lit up, and the contact name glared back at me: Drewboo.Drewboo: [Lisa, your husband didn't give you a hard time again, did he?]I picked up her phone. No passcode.She sure trusted me, didn't she?I opened her messages and scrolled up. The screen was filled with the conversation she'd had with Drew after I fell asleep.Drewboo: [I'm sorry, Lisa. I got you into another fight with Brad.]Lisa: [Don't overthink it. That's just how he is. He's super petty. Ignore him.]So that was what I was to her.Drewboo: [It's all my fault. I

Lisa gulped down another big mouthful of her drink. "Todd, are you drunk? What kind of stupid question is that?"She was trying to brush it off, but the cheering around her only grew louder and louder.Lisa's expression darkened by the second. She didn't look at me. Not even once."Okay, that's enough, guys."But Drew wouldn't let it go. He wrapped his arm around Lisa's waist. "Lisa, don't be mad. Todd's just curious."He turned to look at me. "Brad, don't blame us, okay? We've been hanging out with Lisa since we were kids. No joke is off-limits with us."Not like you. I bet you'd never even dared set foot in a bar before, huh?"That got everyone in the booth laughing.Lisa didn't say a word. She just picked up her glass and took another big gulp.Rick stood up unsteadily, holding a full glass of beer. "Brad, here's a toast to you. Don't be mad, okay?"As he said it, he stumbled. The entire glass of ice-cold beer splashed over me from head to toe, soaking my white T-shirt str

I walked right up to Drew, raised my hand, and poured the whole glass of wine over his head."You want to see me dance? Let me sober you up first."Then I slapped him across the face.Drew clutched his cheek and stared at me in disbelief. "You dare hit me?""Hit you?" I backhanded him again. "Today I'm going to wreck you."With one hand, I pinned both of his hands. With the other, I slammed his head hard against the pillar beside us."Drew!" Lisa rushed over to push me away.Before she could reach me, I grabbed a half-empty bottle from the table and smashed it over her head."Lisa, what does 'just go along with it' mean? Why don't you go along with it and show me how it's done?"Lisa, I'm divorcing you. That's final."Drew started screaming. "What gives you the right to hit us?"Lisa staggered. Blood mixed with alcohol trickled down from her forehead. She wiped her face, furiously shoved me away, and planted herself in front of Drew to shield him.She glared daggers at me.

I pointed at the floor in front of me. "Then get down on your knees and slap yourself for fifty times. Then I'll think about forgiving you."Drew's face stiffened. He stared at me in disbelief.Lisa got angry too. "Don't push it!""I'm pushing it?" I waved my phone and hit play.A recording rang out loud and clear."Look at that resting bitch face of his. Who's he trying to fool with that holier-than-thou act? Today, I'm going to make him see who really belongs by Lisa's side."The bar had been noisy, but I'd had the presence of mind to record it.I looked at Lisa, who was frozen in shock. "Did you hear that?"That's your sweet, sweet buddy. Your Drewboo."Now take your Drewboo and get out of my room."I walked over and tossed her suitcase straight out the door. Her clothes scattered across the floor.I took out my phone and booked the earliest flight home. Then I texted my lawyer.[Prepare the divorce papers. Lisa Goodner cheated during our marriage. Make sure she walks aw

The moment the evidence went up, my phone started buzzing like crazy.I blocked Lisa's entire circle of friends.A voice message from my friend popped up, his voice shaking with excitement. "Nicely done! Everyone on my feed is saying you just wrote the textbook on exposing a manipulative fake-ass bitch."I turned off my phone and slept for over ten hours on the plane.When I landed and switched my phone back on, a flood of messages poured in.Drew was putting on another show. He'd posted a photo of himself hooked up to an IV in the hospital, along with a caption.[It's all my fault. Please, everyone, stop cyberbullying Lisa.]The comments section was packed with people calling me vicious for driving someone to suicide.My friend was frantic. [This fake-ass snake is way too damn good at acting!]I sent my friend a video I'd recorded a while back. It showed Drew leaning in close to Todd's ear and calling me a holier-than-thou fake. It also had a crystal-clear close-up of the who

I had barely made it through my front door when my friend called."Dude! Check what's trending. Drew's about to jump off a roof."I opened Twitter, and sure enough, there he was.Drew stood at the edge of a rooftop in a hospital gown, sobbing his heart out into the camera."I just fell in love with the wrong person. Why won't you leave me alone? If my death will make you feel better, then I'm willing."The comments section was swarming with self-righteous do-gooders hounding me.Just then, Lisa called. I answered and hit record at the same time."Brad, hurry to the hospital and get that lunatic Drew down." She was beside herself. "If he actually dies, what if his ghost haunts me forever?"My voice was cold. "What does that have to do with me?"I hung up and anonymously sent the recording to a reporter who was livestreaming from the scene.In less than five minutes, the reporter's booming voice carried the recording across the entire internet through the livestream.Lisa's wo

Chapter 9

Lisa and Drew both stopped and stared at me blankly.A glimmer of hope flashed in Lisa's eyes. Drew shrank back without thinking.I took out my phone, pointed it at them, and started recording. "Don't stop," I said softly. "Keep going. I haven't seen enough yet."They froze in place."Didn't you say Lisa was the best? How come you're hitting her now?"And your Drewboo? How could you bring yourself to hit him? Lisa, is this how you protect him?"Every word I said stabbed right where it hurt them most. They looked at each other with nothing but hatred in their eyes.Once I'd recorded enough, I shared the video with my friend.[A cheating scumbag and her man-whore brawling in the street. Enjoy the show.]Then I stepped on the gas and never looked back at them again.Two weeks later, my lawyer called."Todd Jones has paid the settlement. The money's already in your account."He was facing charges for making threats, so his father paid a hefty sum to keep it off his record. Appa
