He looked up at me, the corners of his eyes still glistening with tears.
Absolutely beautiful.
I reached out, my fingertips gently brushing through the ends of his hair, just like during our intimate moments before. But the words that left my mouth were ice cold.
“Won’t Rebecca be mad?
“You lost your bet, didn’t you, Gabriel?”
His face instantly turned deathly pale.
“So you did hear…”
He cupped my face, his voice trembling. “It’s not like that, Evelyn.
“That was before, when I didn’t know or understand you. I only agreed to the bet because Rebecca provoked me.
“But I regret it. I’ve regretted it for a long time. I’ve finally realized what my heart wants. Evelyn, I like you, I really do.
“The past… can we just let the past go? Can we start over?”
His eyes were filled with hope that was hard to reject.
But I was Evelyn Mitchell, and I could be ruthless.
So under his hopeful gaze, I softly said, “Did you hear that, Rebecca?”
Gabriel Reynolds froze.

Then he looked down and saw my phone displaying an ongoing call with the contact: Rebecca Carter.
Rebecca’s voice slithered out like a demon crawling from hell, each word dripping with hatred and venom.
“Evelyn, you tramp!
“You think you’ve beaten me? Don’t celebrate too early! So what if you got into Harvard? Trash like you–I have plenty of ways to crush you!
J’And Gabriel, do you think there’s still a chance for you and this tramp?
“I’m telling you; she knew it a long time ago! She knew our plan a long time ago! She was simply using you to get revenge on me! You were just a tool for her revenge–a walking vibrator! Now that she’s done with you, she’ll just throw you away like trash-”
Bang!
Gabriel threw the phone away, instantly silencing Rebecca’s voice.
Anger and fear made his entire body tremble. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t form a single word.
After a long silence, he suddenly lunged forward and kissed me.
His hands excitedly tore at my collar.
I didn’t dodge.
Didn’t resist.
Let him do as he pleased.
In the past, whenever he caught me avoiding him to study when he was tangled up with other girls, this was how he would “appease” me.

In Gabriel’s mind, he probably thought there was nothing in this world that couldn’t be fixed with sex.
But Gabriel, how could you be so naive?
His breathing grew heavier, and my clothes gradually came off.
Then, everything came to an abrupt halt.
When he kissed a certain spot on my chest, Gabriel suddenly recoiled as if burned, eyes wide.
“What happened… to your body?”
I smiled and pointed at the hideous scar.
“You mean this?
“This is where your precious childhood sweetheart burned me with a candle.
“And here.”
I pointed to another mark on the other side.
“She said I was worthless, yet I dared to desire things I didn’t deserve, so she carved the word ‘cheap‘ on my chest with a compass, to remind me of my place.”
Although Gabriel and I had slept together countless times, thanks to the darkness, today was the first time he saw these scars on my body.
Thanks to his childhood sweetheart.
His mind went blank as he struggled to get up, but I wouldn’t let him.
I firmly grabbed his trembling hand and guided it down to my waist.

“And here.”
There was a small patch of missing flesh, where the blood vessels appeared grotesque without skin covering them.
“She let her dog bite me.
“It bit and pulled.
“She said this way I would remember the pain and learn my lesson.”
Gabriel’s voice began to tremble.
“Why would she do this?”
“For the same reason you approached me, of course.”
I lowered my eyes to look at him, caressing that flawless face.

“Gabriel, have you ever wondered why Rebecca, the principal’s daughter who had so many ways to crush an insect like me, specifically chose to use you?
“Because all her other paths were blocked by me.”
