OBSESSED HEART: Tame by Fate
“You’re nothing but a slut who crawled into my bed for money—worth less than braille to me.”
Nich’s voice was flat, cold, and utterly void of emotion, every word a sharp blade straight to my heart.
“N… Nich!” I clung to him from behind, desperate to believe he didn’t mean it—only for him to pry my arms away and shove me aside roughly.
“You’re a whore… the most disgusting woman I’ve ever laid eyes on.”
The slap cracked against my cheek, hard and stinging. Alongside it, he tossed a cheque—half a million pesos—right at my feet.
“Get out of my life. Don’t ever let me see your face again.”
A bitter, broken laugh bubbled up my throat. I tore the cheque into tiny pieces without a second thought. Tears streamed down my face, but I forced a sharp, unyielding smile.
“Fine. I’m leaving. Keep your money. You think as a big-shot CEO you can buy anything you want? You’re wrong. My dignity isn’t for sale—not to a fool, and certainly not to a man as blind and stupid as you.”
“From this moment on… we never knew each other.”
Every beat of my heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand needles. I once hoped there was goodness even among the wealthy—but I was wrong. Today I learned the cruel truth: for people like him, money is the only law, and wealth is the only justice that matters.
