Chapter 4

No wonder she could so shamelessly let me add her as a friend back then.

Turns out these romantic records weren't posted on SnapChat at all.

I couldn't help scrolling through them one by one. The more I looked, the colder my heart grew.

"Starting today, I'm recording my daily romance with my darling boyfriend, beginning the challenge of 99 romantic couple must-dos~"

"Number 10: Wild sex in the Maybach back seat (completed)."

"Number 27: Use three different flavored condoms in one night (completed)."

"Number 97: Get matching bite mark tattoos on our inner thighs (completed)."

"Number 98: Let a million people witness our kiss (completed today)!"

Under each post, an account with a couple's profile picture responded enthusiastically.

Ridiculously, when I enlarged the profile picture, I could see it clearly.

In those clasped hands, Benjamin's ring finger was even wearing our wedding ring.

He'd once smiled and promised me:

"No matter what, I'll never take off my wedding ring—I want to declare to everyone that I belong to my wife!"

He'd kept his promise.

Even when cheating, he wore it faithfully.

The two of them conspired together to treat me like a fool.

My hands trembled as I scrolled through post after post in an almost masochistic way.

My head buzzed with noise as nausea overwhelmed me, and I rushed to the bathroom to vomit violently.

Not until a new notification sound rang out did I barely lift my head and look at my phone again.

Chelsea had posted a new update.

"Baby, what should we do for the next couple's challenge?"

I saw she had quite a few followers, all offering suggestions in the comments.

But Chelsea found them all insufficiently thrilling.

Finally, a local island fan suggested:

"Our most famous attraction is Love Cliff. There's a bungee jumping challenge tomorrow—legend says couples brave enough to jump together while embracing will love each other forever!"

Chelsea immediately became interested.

"That's the one! Number 99: Jump off a cliff together for love, experiencing the romance of eloping and dying together!"

She also announced some good news to her fans.

"Benjamin promised me that after completing all 99 challenges, he'll officially propose to me~"

Fans expressed their envy and sent blessings.

"I'm local—I'll definitely come witness your love in person!"

Reading this, though my heart filled with rage and pain, a glimmer of hope actually arose.

Because I could be certain that Benjamin would never agree to this challenge.

Simply because he had acrophobia—at its worst, he would even pass out from being at heights!

I still remember during sophomore summer vacation when we went on an outdoor excursion together.

His necklace broke and rolled down the slope, nearly driving him crazy.

"This is my mother's keepsake—I have to get it back!"

But the moment he leaned his head out, his acrophobia kicked in and he nearly fainted.

At the time, I disregarded the danger and climbed down without hesitation to search for it.

My arms and legs were covered in cuts from sharp thorns, and I even sprained my ankle, nearly falling to my death!

After pulling me back up, Benjamin trembled as he held me tight.

"Chloe, I'll never let you down for the rest of my life!"

However, this last shred of confidence was shattered by a single comment.

Benjamin commented on Chelsea' post:

"For you, I'd risk my life."
