I had jus!

was dripping with sarcasm.
“Rich, you think you can destroy me? I won’t let you get away with this!“)
“You’re not even half as hot as me, and your body is straight–up tragic–so how the fuck did you bag a guy with more money than mine?
“Just so you know Noah’s going to be mine eventually
–
Reading this, I finally understood her real agenda.
She didn’t even like Noah–she was just a mean girl who got off on tearing other women down
The next second, all those messages disappeared.
She had deleted them.
Now the chat history only showed my responses to her:
“You know exactly what you were trying to do with that photo
“If you look down on Liam so much, just break up with him.”
“You play the whore but expect virgin rates?
Looking at it now, it made me seem like I was deliberately stirring up drama and being aggressive for no reason.
My head was spinning
Sure enough, a minute later, the screenshot this edited conversation and posted it in the group chat []
The whole group exploded.]
“Charlotte, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you always going after Olivia?“]
“Yeah, are you just jealous that she’s prettier than you?“||
“Toxic bitch. I have no idea what Noah sees in a psycho like you.”
Then Olivia stepped in, playing the victim while pretending to defend me.
on guys, don’t be so harsh. She’s still a girl, after all.”
This just made all the guys in the group feel even more p
protective of her
Liam was the worst of all–absolutely tearing me apart
I quickly typed back “She deleted her messages. That’s not how it really happened“]
My head was pounding
Everything had happened so fast, I hadn’t had time to screenshot the full conversation.
I tried to explain further, but then I realized I’d been muted
And the person who muted me was Noah]
Half an hour later, the front door was violently shoved open!]
Nosh grabbed me by the hair without a word and yanked me to my feet
Then he slapped me band across the face.
“You psychotic bitch! What the hell is wrong with you? Do you get off on ruining people’s lives? |
The slap left my head spinning
Noah’s face was twisted with rage, his chest heaving
To the outside world. Noah was actually the perfect boyfriend material.[]
Emotionally stable, good–looking and he ran a successful gym that pulled in millions a year.
This was the first time he’d ever laid a hand on me, and it was all for Olivia.
Once I recovered, I used every ounce of strength I had and slapped him right back
Those two slaps seemed to snap us both back to reality.
Noah slumped into the armchair across from me, chain smoking
I noticed there was still lipstick smudged on his collar
1 suddenly asked him, “You just went to see her; didn’t you?”
Nosh from
“Yeah, she and Liam got into another fight. That asshole actually hit har – what a piece of shit“||
I let out a mocking laugh
Nosh smirked coldly, “You’re different. You deserved it.”
I stared him down [
Noah didn’t look guilty in the slightest, and when he talked about Olivia, his eyes were filled with even more tenderness
“Olivia’s delicate – she can’t handle being hit. She’s been through so much these past few days because of you. You need to buy her something to make up for in
be likes this Chanel bag. You should get it for her.”
He showed his phone in my face.
I looked at the screen – holy shit, it was $50,000]
He really thought I was his personal ATM
Noah had always known that my mother left me money when she died.]
It just never knew exactly how much
lle’d asked me before
But I never told him.[]
My mother had taught me one crucial lesson never reveal your true financial situation to anyone
Not even your partner
