Nine C-Section, Nine Dead Sons, One Escape novel Chapter 12

VV

Chapter 3

As soon as those flirty lines went out, the comments went crazy again.

[OMG! This side chick is literally unhinged!]

[Seraphina’s always been this untouchable goddess in Easton’s mind, and this girl is completely

ruining it!]

[Wait, why does Easton actually seem into this? This is taking a really weird turn…]

[Called it. Easton’s one of those secretly repressed types—deep down, he’s totally into this chaotic

energy…]

[Doesn’t matter how much she chats him up, she’s still just a stand–in. Once he comes back and meets Seraphina in person? That’s the real soulmate moment. This whole phone–based romance? Doomed the second they meet IRL!]

[Exactly. I mean, she’s not hideous or anything, but compared to someone like Seraphina? Night and day. Easton’s gonna take one look and dump her so fast.]

Dump me?

I wished he would.

Hate me all he wanted, even better if he slapped a check on the table and told me to get lost on the

spot.

It had only been a few days, and I’d already saved nearly two million.

Enough to cover all my tuition and living expenses for four years of college. If I kept chatting with him for a few more months, I might even save up for a down payment on an apartment.

Then I could buy a little place of my own and get away from that bloodsucking family of mine for

good.

The thought alone was enough motivation to double down. I’d go all in on buttering up Easton while keeping up the broke act in front of Seraphina.

That way, when those two eventually have their “true love” reunion, they’ll feel so guilty they might just hand me a nice little breakup bonus.

Perfect.
