Chapter 1

Finn is a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry. He promised me that he would officially announce our relationship today at 5:20 PM.

I checked Finn's first trending topic right on time. It wasn't the announcement I expected; instead, it was about him being caught on camera.

The other person in the photo with him was a female artist named Daphne.

Under the trending topics, she responded to netizens: "Thank you all for your blessings."

My hands trembled as I took a screenshot and sent it to Finn: "Is this what you meant by an official announcement?"

I didn't receive a reply until I had finished packing all my belongings. Finn finally responded: "Phoebe, please wait. I'll explain everything."

"Finn, let's end things."

After sending the message, I tossed my phone aside and took one last look at the home Finn and I shared.

We had been together for five years, but our relationship was always kept a secret.

We were childhood friends, growing up together.

After graduating from Media Arts College, we confirmed our relationship and embarked on our careers in the entertainment industry.

At first, we were happy, taking on small roles. We didn't earn much, but we were content.

Then he participated in a variety show and skyrocketed to fame, becoming a top-tier celebrity. It's easy to lose oneself in the allure of fame and fortune.

He started having more and more women around him. Daphne wasn't the first to be rumored with him.

I gradually lost my sense of security. I begged him to make our relationship public on social media. I wanted to stand by his side openly.

But his words made me feel unworthy of him, so I worked hard to prove myself.

He said female artists need discipline to look good on camera. Even though I'm 170 cm, I maintained a weight of 90 pounds for years, afraid to eat more than one meal a day.

Once he became famous, many paparazzi followed him.

I lived cautiously with him. When visiting him on set, I had to wear a mask and cover myself completely.

The snacks I made, he used to cheer Daphne up.

It wasn't until I saw the news of him and Daphne entering a residential building late at night that I realized how foolish I was.

In his eyes, I was insignificant.

I had questioned him about Daphne before.

He said, "Daphne is on the rise in her career and has a bright future. Denying the rumors would greatly impact her."

"But you're different. You're just a non-notable performer who can't make waves. Phoebe, don't be so selfish."

I was wrong. I overestimated my place in his heart.

I was preparing to leave when I heard the sound of the password being entered at the door. It opened.

It was Finn. He looked at me with my luggage, frowning.

Behind him were Daphne and their agents.
