!strides away.

tand there and open the group chat on my phone.

Damien’s crew’s betting pool, the stakes keep climbing.

ese second and third–generation rich kids, backed by family money, throw around cash and assets like they’re nothing.

e pot keeps growing–real estate, luxury cars, all getting tossed in.

tay anonymous in the group, not saying a word, just placing a one–million–dollar bet when the time comes.

en I exit the group chat and pull up Luna’s IG.

er latest post was three minutes ago.

e’s on the yacht, filming in her room.

he comments are all asking what position she uses to de–stress–they want to see.

he post is blowing up fast.

smile and add fuel to the fire.

Are mistresses really this shameless these days?]

My husband’s name is Damien Lee too, how come I don’t know about any proposal?]

As soon as I post this, Luna’s fans go absolutely feral.

What kind of trash are you?!]

[Trying to clout–chase off our Luna?!]

[Our Luna’s boyfriend is from the elite Lee family!]

[rxactly! This chick’s probably delusional, seeing Luna with such a quality guy and getting jealous. Disgusting!)

Chapter 3

The hate comments keep pushing the post higher.

I smile and drop a photo of the luxury yacht in the comments.

Do I look like delusional?]

I dose my phone after typing that.

Using Luna’s post as a guide, I quickly locate her room.

Manding outside the door, I call Damien.

fis familiar ringtone echoes from inside the room.

few seconds later, it goes to voicemail.

ocation confirmed. I turn and leave.

in hour later, Damien returns.

una trails behind him, face flushed red

Oh, Hey! Ivy! Been a long time.”

everal rich kids who came with them have provocative looks in their eyes.

ty expression doesn’t change until Damien walks over.

vy, this is Luna. She’s a student I sponsored through college. She graduated this year, so I brought her along to see how the other half lives…”

efore Damien can finish his bullshit explanation, I smile and stand up.

nd slap Luna hard across the face.
