On the day of my birthday party, I wait for my boyfriend to arrive so we can start the celebrations. To my surprise, all I get is a challenge from his true love. "I'm sorry that Harv can't be with you today, Sammy. He's getting engaged to me! Don't worry, though. It's just a formality—this is the 100th wish he's helping me fulfill. I hope you don't mind!" Tiana Lowe sends me a video along with that voice message. My boyfriend exchanges rings with her before kissing her passionately. I immediately call him and snap, "What the hell do you mean by that, Harvey Linton?" He gets angry. "Can you stop being so jealous all the time? I can celebrate your birthday with you every year, but Tiana only has 100 wishes. I have to help her fulfill them!" I snap, "Fine, then. I wish you two will be together forever!"
더 보기Harvey couldn't take it anymore. He finally confronted Tiana about everything."Are you really the one who saved me? You're weak, and you don't know how to swim. How could you have pulled me ashore? I bet someone else saved me from the water, and you simply took credit for it."You even tricked me by saying you developed asthma after saving me. You used your condition to manipulate me. Have you no shame, Tiana? Look at all the heinous things you did just to get your hands on me!"I was stunned to hear such a logical dissection of the situation from Harvey. So, he did know how riddled with inconsistencies her claims were! In that case, why did he willingly allow himself to be tricked by Tiana?Even Tiana was amused to hear him analyzing the situation. "It turns out you do have a brain after all, Harvey! Since you knew I was lying to you from the start, why did you play along with me then? "Wasn't it because you lusted after my beauty? Didn't you relish the way I seemed so devoted
"Are you trying to set me up?" Tiana questioned in irritation. "If I write that agreement, it's concrete evidence that I'm blackmailing you, isn't it?"Snorting, I replied, "Since you have videos of me, I'm going to need that agreement from you. That's the only way we can ensure that no one reneges on the deal. Did you expect me to give you eight million dollars just like that? Do you think I'm a fool?"Convinced by my argument, Tiana agreed to it. "Fine. I'll draw up the agreement. I'm guessing you wouldn't dare to play any tricks anyway. "I've already scheduled the videos to be posted up on all the major social media platforms. If you don't give me the money on time, you'll just have to wait and see yourself go viral. I've got nothing more to lose now, so you better not cross me, Samantha!"Once the call ended, Frank immediately had his IT staff hack into Tiana's computer. They removed the scheduled posts and destroyed all of the videos saved on her computer.The next day, I ga
My phone kept buzzing with notifications, so I had no choice but to check the messages from Harvey in front of Frank.Harvey transferred me a million dollars as compensation. That was pretty generous of him, all things considered. In the last five years, he'd spent less than a hundred thousand on me, while I'd bought him multiple expensive gifts that were worth hundreds of thousands in total. Thus, I had no qualms about accepting the million dollars from him.Harvey kept apologizing to me. He also shared another piece of news. He'd reported Tiana for being the one who installed the security cameras in his house. The police had taken her into custody for about two weeks.It was such a shame it was only for two weeks.Fred, who'd been beside me the whole time, read all of my messages with Harvey. I had no reason to hide them from him anyway.He seemed to have noticed my reaction and said, "If you want her to be imprisoned for longer, there's something you could do.""What is it?"
For a moment, Harvey's gaze became a little shifty.He defended himself by saying, "That was just for show. Everyone knew that. I was just trying to help Tiana fulfill all 100 of her wishes—"I cut him off at once. "Stop coming up with excuses, Harvey! You said that the engagement ceremony was her 100th wish. Once that was done, you'd no longer have anything to do with her. But what happened instead?"The moment she called you up, you ended up spending another week with her. A single plea from her, and you chose to cover up for her crime. Her greed knows no bounds, and neither is there a limit to your tolerance for her behavior!"I declared, "From the moment you two crossed the line, there's no turning back."Once I exposed the truth, Harvey could no longer find anything he could use to refute me. All he could do was apologize over and over again. "I'm sorry, Sammy."Letting out a mocking chuckle, I replied, "There are situations that even the police can't resolve, Harvey. What g
"Help me, Harv! I'm in so much discomfort. My asthma is acting up again…" Tiana cried out between coughs.Her tears started soaking into her top, but they no longer garnered any pity or affection from Harvey. He called 911 before eyeing her in annoyance."I called you an ambulance. You can wait here for it to come. I'm sure the emergency responders are professionals who know better than me what needs to be done," Harvey said.Tiana started sobbing her heart out. "Why are you ignoring me, Harv? Is it because of Samantha? What did she say to you?"Amid her whining, she looked up and glowered at me in resentment.I shrugged and declared my innocence, "You got the wrong idea. I didn't do anything!"Not keen about sticking around to see any more of the show, I tried to leave, but Harvey grabbed my hand. "Sammy, why didn't you wait for me to come back and explain things to you?" he asked. "I told you I'd make it up to you. Why did you have to make a police report? We're all acquainte
After coming to terms with the news, they felt a sense of relief.After that, Dad reassuringly patted me on the shoulder and said, "Given that you've already made up your mind, there's nothing left but to go for it!"Mom wasted no time and jumped right into arranging blind dates for me. "You're not getting any younger. And now that you've ended things with Harvey, it's time to make plans for your future. "I've told you about my best friend's son a long time ago—he's impressive, handsome, and has a solid character."After Mom and her best friend set things up, I went to meet this young, promising man.Yet, instead of meeting my supposed blind date, I ended up running into my aloof boss, Frank Larsen. He took the initiative to greet me and unexpectedly struck up a conversation about personal matters."I heard you recently ended things with your fiancé."I nodded in response, thinking that Frank truly cared about his employees' well-being, to the point of uncovering such private d
I sneered and asked, "What's the matter, Harvey? Are you having second thoughts now? It really doesn't sound like something you'd do! I thought we agreed to call it quits. If we're ending things, let's end it cleanly!"Harvey pursed his lips and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. It was Tiana calling. Having hesitated for only three seconds, he let go of my hand and answered the call.Tiana's voice was weak and strained as she said, "Help me, Harv! My asthma is acting up again! If you don't get here soon, I might end up dead at home!"Harvey glanced at me, a troubled expression crossing his face.I curled my lips in a mocking smile and said sarcastically, "Go ahead, then. It's a matter of life and death here!"Tiana had pulled this trick countless times. And yet, Harvey still played along every single time. It was clearly a classic case of two people enabling each other's behaviors."Please stay put and wait for me, Sammy," he pleaded. "I'll be back as soon as I can
My hands were shaking as I pried open the photo frame and took out Tiana and Harvey's pre-wedding photo. As I did, a spy camera slipped out and fell onto the floor. I picked it up, removed the memory card, and inserted it into the computer. A video immediately started playing, showing scenes of Harvey and I getting intimate. Our conversations were also recorded, down to the last word.I was trembling as I watched the video, overwhelmed with fear and fury. Tiana was completely out of her mind! How could she actually commit such a crime just to be with Harvey?In any case, with this evidence, I could report Tiana to the police.Yet, as I was about to turn off the computer and pull out the memory card, the bedroom door suddenly swung open. Harvey then rushed in, carrying a new photo frame.I took a quick look at the photo he was holding. And sure enough, it was another intimate photo of him and Tiana.If it were before this, I would have been heartbroken and jealous about it. Yet,
I sneered and said, "Apologize? What for? Am I supposed to apologize to you because you're a despicable ex, or because she's a lowly woman who steals my fiancé?" Tiana cried hysterically, her voice filled with anguish as she shouted, "I'm not a mistress! You're being so mean, Sammy!"Upon hearing that, Harvey was infuriated. "You've gone too far this time, Samantha!" he roared. "How dare you insult both me and Tiana! It's officially over between us! You better not show up crying and begging for me to take you back!"With that, he abruptly ended the call.I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Harvey had always been very prideful. Given that he was the one who initiated the breakup, he would never take the initiative to reconcile with me. It would also save me the trouble of getting caught up with him. If we were going to end things, we should have a clean break.I spent the night packing my things, getting ready to leave the place we had once called home. It wasn't unti
