Chapter 1

In front of my desk, a group of guys dispersed, leaving me standing alone.

My desk was carved with insulting words like “cheap” and “slut.”

My notebooks lay scattered on the floor, dirty and trampled.

It was in that exact moment, I, the heroine of this novel who was forced into a relationship with him, suddenly regained my memories.

The next second, Julian arrived, just as he always did, like a god.

He reached out to me, his eyes unsettlingly deep.

“Don’t be scared. I believe you’re innocent.”

But I remembered everything.

It was him who spread the rumors, all to isolate me, to make me utterly dependent on him, to belong only to him.

Under his calculations, I not only broke ties with my parents but was also tricked into dropping out of school, ultimately becoming his golden cage pet.

I snapped back to reality, his familiar hand already reaching out.

Looking at his gentle smile, I felt a wave of nausea.

This time, I violently slapped his hand away and spoke in a cold voice.

“Of course, I’m innocent. The police will clear everything up.”
