To save money for a house, I had been living a frugal life with my boyfriend, Desmond Wood. When Desmond received a twenty-thousand-dollar bonus, he bought me a branded bag. I was delighted, but I felt that he did not need to spend so much on me. Hence, I brought the receipt and the bag to the shop for a refund. The shopkeeper told me that my bag was fake. However, the receipt was real.

Chapter 1

“How is it possible that the bag’s fake? Please have another look. The receipt is here.” I was puzzled by the shopkeeper’s words. “The receipt is indeed from our shop, but this bag is fake.” The shopkeeper glanced at me and seemed to have a whole load of stuff to say. “Would you like to check with the person who bought the bag?”I left the shop with my friend, Christy Smith. Christy scrutinized the receipt. “If the receipt’s real, that means Desmond did buy a bag here. So, what’s with the fake bag?”This left me puzzled until dinnertime. However, I needed to pull myself together, as Desmond and I were having a gathering with some friends. Since we wanted to save money, we had not gone out for a meal with our friends in a very long time. Recently, Desmond said he had finally secured a good deal and received his bonus. So, it was fine for us to eat out. When Christy and I arrived, Desmond’s friends were already in the private room. We had just taken our seats when Desmo...

Chapter 2
I took a sip of water and slowly said, “It’s not cheap. If we bought a fake bag from the shop, we should file a police report to expose that shop.”Nova stuttered, “I-It’s just a bag. We don’t have to involve the police.” I sneered. “It’s not easy to earn money these days. We can’t let scammers off the hook so easily.” I took out my phone and pretended to call the police.Nova suddenly lurched forward and slapped my phone away. “It was me! I took your bag! I just saw how nice the bag was and wanted to borrow it for a few days. Why are you so stingy?”I picked up my phone and noticed a crack on the screen. Nova had really used all her strength to slap my phone away. “I’m stingy? You didn’t ask me before you switched our bags. That’s called stealing!” Nova hid herself behind Desmond when she saw how angry I was. “Desmond, I just really like this bag. I couldn’t afford it with my salary. I just wanted to have it for a few days to feel how it’s like to have a branded bag. I didn

Chapter 3
I felt angrier the more I thought about it after I went home. I looked around the house that Desmond and I had rented together. Back then, he told me that we had to save money together to buy a house. So, we did not have to put a lot of effort into decorating our rental home. Apart from some essential furniture, there was nothing else in this house. It felt really empty. On top of that, the dining table was uneven. We had to put an additional block of wood to balance it out. The curtains from Desmond’s hometown were drab, as the pilling fabric was faded.The metal money box under the table caught my attention. Even though most of our transactions were done through phones, Desmond liked the feeling of saving cash. He bought this money box, which allowed us to put money in but made it more difficult to take it out. He said that it would be our year-end reward. We made a deal to put in three hundred dollars every month per person. Then, we would open the box at the end of the

Chapter 4
I called Desmond many times, but he never answered. I could not sleep after I realized that all the money was gone. The next day, I went to the bank to check the transactions. It turned out that the three hundred thousand dollars had been withdrawn a few months ago. Several months back, Desmond told me that his mother had been hospitalized, so she needed the money. According to him, his mother had a financial deposit that would expire in two months’ time, so she would return the money to us. I did ask him about the money later on. He claimed that his mother had already returned it to him, and he had put the money back into our joint account. Desmond laughed at me for being overly cautious. He said that his mother would not owe us money like that. It seemed that he never returned the money at all. Had he left with my money? I was irritated over the matter when Christy gave me a call. “Paige, remember the house that you like at Blue Ocean Bay, the one with the small gar

Chapter 5
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the hospital. The doctor said that I had cut my forehead open. But it was only a mild concussion, so it was not too serious. Desmond was sitting next to my hospital bed, but I did not want to see him. “Don’t be angry. It’s all my fault.” He teared up. “Who’s the father of Nova’s child?”“...I am. She’s two months pregnant.” I closed my eyes as tears streamed down my face. Desmond told me that he discovered he had a rare disease from one of his checkups. As such, it would be hard for him to have a child. Afraid that I would leave him, he kept the truth from me. He knew that Nova liked him, but he only saw her as a younger sister. However, she once got him drunk, and he thought that she was me. So, he ended up sleeping with her. After that night, he was caught in a dilemma. He did not want to lose me, but he felt like he owed Nova. Therefore, he tried to satisfy all her materialistic desires. He never expected Nova to get pregn

Chapter 6
By the time I returned to my place, Desmond had already packed his things and left. The empty house seemed even more quiet. I looked at the keys that Desmond had left on the table. There was a small figurine attached to them. Desmond and I went on a trip once, where we saw an old couple selling trinkets on the side of the street. They were each other’s first love, and they had been together for a long time. They still looked very in love. I bought two figurine keychains from them. One figurine was wearing a tux, and the other was a little princess. I took the former and gave the latter to Desmond. However, the little princess figurine was laying on the desk at this moment. It was dirty, and it no longer looked the same as when we first bought it. I took the keychain off and threw it away alongside mine. Later, I saw that Nova had posted on her social media with the caption, [No matter how many times you pass by the right person, you’ll eventually meet again.]That nigh

Chapter 7
I did not expect Nova to come looking for me. She came to my office building and kneeled in the lobby. She begged me to not force Desmond to pay the 150,000 dollars back. “Please don’t push my child’s father into a corner. Think about our unborn child.” She should receive an Oscar for such great acting. The lobby was crowded, and everyone stopped to look at us curiously.“Nova, don’t be shameless. Stand up.” She flung my hand aside and faced the crowd. “My child’s father owes Paige some money. He wants to pay her in installments, but she won’t allow it. She wants him to pay in full. I don’t earn much, and I’m pregnant, so our monthly expenses are high. Paige is trying to kill us. Would you want to be colleagues with such a cruel person?” Nova cried pitifully. Some colleagues approached me and told me to accept the installment plan. “Paige, if you’re not desperate for money, just agree to their suggestion to pay you back in installments.” “That’s right. They must be spe

Chapter 8
Nova thought she had me fooled. She then struck the metal while it was hot and posted an essay online. In it, she painted me as the third party who got in between her and her childhood sweetheart, Desmond. I then demanded over a hundred thousand dollars from him. The netizens who read it did not know the entire truth, so they started to criticize me online. However, I posted a chronological timeline of my relationship with Desmond and Nova’s domestic violence case online. I had done some digging on Nova’s case. Shortly after she got married, she became addicted to gambling. She had gambled all their money away. Her ex-husband worked two jobs from morning until night just to pay off the debt. Before they could finish paying it off, he found Nova cheating on him. Her ex-husband became furious, so he hit her. After their divorce, the loan shark went after her ex-husband and beat him up. Meanwhile, Nova lived a great life with Desmond’s money. With the truth exposed, ev

Chapter 9
One night, Joe gave me a call. “Desmond’s suffering from internal bleeding in his stomach due to his overdrinking. He’s in the hospital now, and he keeps calling out for you. Can you come over and visit him?”“Joe, didn’t I tell you not to contact me anymore?”“You’re so heartless.” Joe told me that after this incident was exposed online, Mrs. Wood could not take it and ended up hospitalized. Desmond was taking care of his mother while working a full-time job and caring for Nova too. He was extremely busy, and he only had a few hours of sleep every day. Since he was too tired, he made some mistakes at work and got fired. Due to his exposed identity and the severity of the matter, a lot of companies did not want to hire him either. He had a monthly mortgage to repay, so he could not be jobless for too long. Hence, he chose to work as a delivery driver. Even though it was hard labor, it helped to alleviate some of his financial burden. “Is it my fault that he ended up in

Chapter 10
Nova’s ex-husband had found her cheating on him before. This meant that she might have a messy private life. No one could guarantee that she had only slept with Desmond. I simply brought up the subject, but I had planted the seeds of doubt in Desmond’s mind. After that, I no longer paid attention to them. I later heard that Nova gave birth to a girl. Desmond did a DNA test and found that the child was not his. Nova’s ex-husband laughed at Desmond for being cuckolded. After Desmond received the DNA results, he laughed and cried like a madman. He rushed into the hospital ward and grabbed the child from Nova’s hands. He wanted to kill the baby. Right then, Joe suddenly rushed up to him. “Desmond, stop! Blame it on me. This is actually my child. I’m sorry.”It turned out that the day Desmond got drunk, he was fast asleep. So, Nova could not do anything with him. She only undressed him and took a few pictures of them sleeping together to make Desmond think that they had b
