Over the Fourth of July weekend, I took my boyfriend's sister to his flashy new influencer hub. Fresh off brain surgery, Benedetta Griffin needed a break from her recovery, and I hoped the trip would lift her spirits. In the hub, a streamer was hawking a face cream like a carnival barker. "Listen, fam! The boss lady is slashing prices. Get this $3,800 cream for just $398 today!" Benedetta tugged my sleeve. "That cream is bad news." She'd interned at the FDA last summer and could spot a scam from a mile away. "It's packed with steroids. Long-term use will ruin your skin." Driven by her sense of justice, she marched up to the streamer. "You can't sell this unlicensed junk. The steroids exceed legal limits. Pull it from the shelves." Morgan Lamb froze, but then her fake smile twisted into a scowl. "Who the hell are you to trash my product?" Benedetta didn't back down. "You're scamming people, and you know it." Morgan planted her hands on her hips. "I'm the boss lady here. How dare you slander my brand? Nobody leaves until you cough up $500,000 for damages." "Boss lady?" My stomach churned. My boyfriend's sudden venture into the streaming industry now made sense. He was sinking money into this hub to bankroll his lover. I fumbled for my phone to call him, but Morgan was faster. "Babe, get to the hub. Two haters crashed the party, trying to tank our business."

Si Gideon Amir Masterson: ang lalaking sinasabi ng lahat na malapit nang kunin ni Satanas, may taning na tatlong buwan na lamang ang buhay. Walang pag-aalinlangan, pumirma siya ng marriage contract at tinanggap ang paunang bayad kahit hindi pa niya nakikita ang binata. Sa isip niya, hihintayin na lang niyang mamatay ito. Ngunit bigla siyang pinatawag ni Gideon. Pinapunta siya sa isang pribadong bar kung saan ito naghihintay. Pagpasok ni Mariette, halos yumanig ang kaniyang mundo. Napakaguwapo ng lalaking bumungad sa kaniya! Wala itong bakas ng kamatayan at sa paraan pa lang ng kilos at titig nito, parang kaya siyang lamunin nang buo. “Alam mo ba ang kasabihang ‘die for money’?” malamig na sabi nito. “Sinumang babaeng papasok sa buhay ko ngayon, iisa lang ang habol… pera.” Napakagat-labi si Mariette. Totoo naman, pera ang dahilan kung bakit siya pumayag para makawala sa kaniyang ama. Kaya’t tuluyan niyang nilaro ang apoy. “What if mahal na kita noon pa?” pagsisinungaling niya. Ngunit isang mapanuyang ngiti lang ang isinagot ni Gideon, saka itinapon sa mesa ang kanilang marriage certificate. “Divorce me.”

Brandon’s lips brushed against mine, his voice a low murmur. “Didn’t think you’d be on your knees for me so soon, sunflower.” I shoved him back, breath unsteady. “This isn’t a game.” But it was.

Brandon was insufferable. Arrogant. And worst of all… he was enjoying every second of this. Cameron was straight. He hated him. Or was he?
