The proposal Aurora had dreamed of? A total sham. Just a stunt by her boyfriend, Marco, to make his first love, Sofia, jealous. The second she said, "I do," Sofia stormed in, tears and all, wailing that she'd changed her mind—that she couldn't let him marry someone else. And just like that, they were in each other's arms, celebrating their grand reunion. Meanwhile, Aurora stood there, the punchline to a cruel joke.

Chapter 1

"I do!"Aurora Diaz beamed, holding out her hand, waiting for Marco Ramírez to slide the ring onto her finger. Their friends cheered.Marco knelt, reaching for her—Then a tearful voice shattered the moment."Enough! I give up! Marco, I won't let you marry someone else!"Aurora's stomach dropped. Before she could move, Marco shot to his feet, leaving her behind like she was nothing, and pulled Sofia Blanco into his arms.Tears streaked Sofia's face. "I admit it—I can't just stand by and watch you propose. I can't!""Don't worry, I was only putting on an act with her. I knew you couldn't handle it. But now that you've finally admitted your feelings... will you stop running from me?"His voice was warm, devoted—like he hadn't just been promising forever to someone else.Aurora stood there, numb, as Sofia nodded. As Marco lifted her, spinning her in pure joy. As the crowd cheered for them, like this was how it was always supposed to be.No one noticed her.Even when she got sho...

Chapter 2
By the time Aurora got home, it was late.She unlocked her phone—only to be met with a fresh post from Marco.A photo of his and Sofia's hands, fingers intertwined. On Sofia's delicate ring finger, the engagement ring gleamed under the light, its diamond obnoxiously massive.[An unforgettable day—I've found the love of my life.]Aurora let out a quiet laugh.Marco had never once acknowledged their relationship publicly. She'd brushed it off, thinking it was just how he was. But now, it was obvious—he never saw her as someone worth claiming.No hesitation. She blocked him.They'd met on a rainy night. She'd been tutoring when the student's father got too close, hands where they didn't belong. She barely escaped, running blindly through the downpour—until Marco found her.And she'd fallen.She, who had never cared for anyone before, had taught herself how to love. She learned how to make him happy, how to be the perfect girlfriend—nursing him when he was sick, soothing him when

Aurora's head was still spinning, but Marco's words hit like a bucket of ice water.So this was how it was.Even if she was lying here, bleeding, she was still the villain.She ignored him and turned to Sofia instead. "Then let's call the cops. Let's see who's actually to blame."Marco had never heard Aurora sound so indifferent before. It twisted something in his chest."Fine, call them. You think I—"Sofia paled and yanked his sleeve before he could finish.There were no security cameras, but if the cops started checking for fingerprints or evidence, things could go south fast."Forget it," she murmured. "I'm not hurt. No need to make a scene in front of Prof. Serrano's house. Let's just drop it. I'm sure Ms. Diaz didn't mean to."Marco frowned, holding Aurora's gaze just long enough to make it a warning before finally backing off.Aurora looked away, forcing down the dizziness as she turned and walked down the stairs.***Outside, Aurora pressed a tissue to her bleeding

The next day, an unknown number popped up on Aurora's phone.Lately, she'd been dealing with delivery services and moving companies, so she answered—only to hear Marco's voice."Come get your stuff from my place. If you don't, I'll toss it. And..."He hesitated, tempted to ask why she'd blocked him. But no—she was just playing hard to get. If he pushed, she might think she still had a chance and start clinging again.What he didn't expect? Aurora's completely indifferent response."Got it."Then she hung up. Just like that.Like he was nothing.Marco stared at his phone, unreadable.Sofia, noticing, leaned in. "Marco, the interview's tomorrow. I'm so nervous. What if Ms. Diaz holds a grudge and tries to ruin my chance?"Marco snapped back. "No one's messing with the interview. Just focus on proving yourself."Sofia nodded, resting against his chest, but her eyes? Ice cold.***Aurora reached Marco's apartment building and stepped into the elevator, glancing at the time. Sh

Aurora pounded on the doors, fists aching, but the only response was Marco's footsteps fading into the distance.Then—silence.Total, suffocating darkness.She hugged herself, but it did nothing to stop the trembling.Cold seeped into her skin, slow and merciless, like sinking underwater—dragging her down, crushing her beneath the weight of fear.***Marco made sure no one would fix the elevator anytime soon, then headed off to wait for Sofia's interview results.But as he sat there, Aurora's voice echoed in his mind—desperate, raw.He'd never seen her like that before.It unsettled him.Finally, Sofia walked out, pale as a ghost."Marco... I didn't get selected. I failed. What do I do? Am I useless? Am I worthless?"Tears streamed down her face, her whole body shaking.Seeing her so fragile, Marco felt his chest tighten. In that moment, Aurora vanished from his thoughts.He pulled Sofia into his arms, murmuring reassurances. Wanting to lift her spirits, he took her home,

Marco's jaw was rough with stubble, his bloodshot eyes locked on her. His grip tightened.Aurora's heart nearly stopped. For a second, she thought he might actually choke her out. She fought with everything she had.The struggle wasn't subtle. In the end, he let go, but the pure hatred in his eyes stayed.Gasping, she clutched her aching neck, hands shaking."Still playing the victim?" His voice was cold, raw with something deeper. "What did you say to Sofia? She was so distraught she slit her wrist. She's in the hospital, fighting for her life!"Aurora almost laughed."What did I say? The truth. She wanted you to lock me up like that would fix everything, but it was all for nothing. Tell me I'm wrong."Brutal. Marco's face flickered between red and pale. He remembered exactly what he'd done.But then he pictured Sofia in that hospital bed, wrist slit, and his gaze went ice-cold. "If you hadn't trashed Sofia to Prof. Serrano and ruined her shot at the competition, I wouldn't ha

Chapter 8
Diego yanked her hair, forcing her to face the crowd."It's her! She told me she was some poor, mistreated student. Said she'd admired me for years! I pitied her, gave her money—and how did she repay me? The second she found someone richer, she turned on me! Accused me of assault, ruined my life! I lost my wife, my business—everything!""No! That's not true!" Aurora fought to break free, but Diego's rant drowned her out.Worse? Some people actually bought it."Look at her—she's got that seductive vibe. No way she's innocent.""She's a dancer, right? That whole industry's built on stringing men along. Bet those awards weren't just for talent.""What's she even doing at a hospital? Maybe she really does have something nasty."At that, the crowd recoiled, some covering their noses like she was contagious.Someone shoved her.Another grabbed at her clothes.A third held up their phone, filming every humiliating second.It only stopped when hospital staff rushed in, breaking up t

Marco's message disappeared into the void. No reply.That was... unexpected.He tried calling. Nothing. Line disconnected.A strange unease crawled up his spine. Online harassment could push people to the edge—he knew that. Only now did it really hit him.Pushing himself up, he was about to head to Aurora's place when the movement stirred Sofia awake beside him.She blinked, instantly sensing the shift in his mood. Panic flickered in her eyes—was he actually feeling guilty over Aurora again?The whole internet had turned against Aurora, not just because of mindless gossip but because Sofia had carefully stoked the fire. She couldn't let all that effort go to waste."Marco..." she murmured, voice fragile. "I had a nightmare... that you left me for Ms. Diaz. Maybe I really am just a burden to you. Otherwise..."She lowered her gaze, subtly shifting her arm to expose the long scar on her wrist.The second Marco saw it, any hesitation vanished.That scar—evidence of Sofia's pain—

One by one, the videos dropped through official channels—each piece of evidence undeniable.The once-relentless wave of hate against Aurora screeched to a halt.Some skeptics clung to doubt, tagging forensic experts to check if the footage had been doctored. But every analysis came back the same—authentic.No one had expected such a complete reversal.Then, rage exploded.People felt played. Not just by Marco and Sofia, but by the ugly reality that privilege had been used to crush an innocent person.A chilling thought spread across social media—What if Aurora hadn't been strong enough?What if she had broken under the weight of betrayal, injustice, and nonstop cyberbullying?If that had happened, every single person who had joined in... would have been complicit.That realization hit hard.And just like that, the public turned with a vengeance.The fury unleashed on Marco and Sofia dwarfed what Aurora had endured.And their families? Not spared.People tore into the Ram
