Chapter 1

Day one after the breakup.

My boyfriend posted a photo with his mistress on Instagram, announcing their engagement.

Everyone in our group chat went crazy, tagging me repeatedly.

I silently added my ex-boyfriend's cousin to the group and explained, "Let me introduce you to my real boyfriend."

My boyfriend wanted to sleep with me, but after I refused, he immediately found a so-called true love and got engaged.

He happily posted a photo with his new girlfriend on Instagram: "I'm getting married."

The picture showed their intertwined hands and a large bouquet of roses.

Our group chat on SnapChat exploded instantly. Everyone who got the first-hand gossip started tagging me frantically.

"Congratulations, Sarah! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and many children!"

"Sarah, when's the wedding? Tell us the date quickly!"

My boyfriend laughed and explained to everyone that they had the wrong person, and the one he was marrying wasn't me.

Then, he added his new girlfriend "Candy" to the group chat.

As soon as she joined, Candy sent a cute emoji and then shyly sent a voice message, "Hi everyone, I'm Kyle's wife. I hope you all can come to our wedding. We've set the date for January 23rd."

The once lively crowd was stunned.

Listening to Candy's sickeningly sweet voice message made me want to throw up.

Candy started greeting everyone in the group, asking them to call her "sister-in-law" and demanding red envelopes.

Most people sent her $50, but she scoffed at them.

She giggled and said to everyone, "I heard from my husband that you're all rich kids. Usually, you send four-figure red envelopes in the group. Why only three figures for me? Do you look down on me?"

With this statement, everyone fell silent.

I was a bit shocked. Did she think rich kids' money grew on trees?

What gave her the right to demand money from people she'd just met?

Kyle, seeing the awkward situation, quickly tried to smooth things over, "My wife is just joking, don't mind her."

No one in the group spoke up anymore.

I felt disgusted.

I couldn't believe this jerk had stooped so low after our breakup, marrying any gold digger he could find. Shame on him!

I immediately blocked him across all platforms. Goodbye and good riddance!

That night, feeling down, I went to a bar with my best friend for some drinks.

While drinking, I kept hearing them chattering about one-night stands, which made me feel a bit curious.

Because of my strict upbringing... my mom said if I wasn't a virgin when I got married, my husband would despise me for life.

So even though I'm twenty-five now, I'm still a virgin.

I stumbled to the restroom, feeling dizzy. On the way, two drunk guys tried to hit on me, but I refused.

However, these two drunks wouldn't take no for an answer and kept trying to make me drink with them. I wanted to run, but they held me back.

In an instant, all those gruesome news stories flashed through my mind.

My heart raced, and I thought about smashing them with a bottle to sober them up, but I knew I couldn't overpower them.

Just as I looked up, I saw a familiar face walking towards me.

Lucas Land?

Isn't that Kyle's cousin?
