After being released from my three-year sentence, Zoe Sanders finally found me in an underground fight club.
The moment she saw me, she grabbed me by the collar and punched me across the face, her eyes burning red with fury.
"Henry Goldman, who gave you the nerve to disappear like this?
"And what the hell have you done to yourself?"
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and laughed carelessly.
"One punch, one hundred thousand.
"If you’re still angry, feel free to keep going. I could use the money for this year’s rent."
Her fists trembled uncontrollably, but her voice softened.
"Come home with me... apologize to Ronald Green.
"He’s always been kind-hearted. He already forgave you for framing him."
Her gaze swept over the scars covering my body, something unreadable flickering in her eyes.
"Look at yourself. Covered in blood like this... what’s the difference between you and a stray dog digging through garbage?"
My body stiffened.
Then I turned and walked away.
What she did not know was this:
In prison, blood and violence were the only ways I learned to survive.
"Don’t forget," she shouted after me, "I’m still your fiancée!"
My footsteps stopped.
How could I forget?
Three years ago, on the night of our engagement, Ronald drugged me and sent me to a black-market auction.
I was stripped of all dignity and sold like merchandise.
That night, I became the laughingstock of the entire city.
And the person who signed the papers that sold me… was my fiancée herself.
Warren Cole was living his life as an average student at the University of Flemond. He just finished his programming class when he received a call from back home. Taking out his phone, he was confused to see that it was Uncle Geoffrey. "Please come home, Warren. There is something important you have to know. Make sure to be here in the next three days." A click was heard and then it was quiet. Warren arrived at the dorm room and packed his bags. When he arrived at the airport, it was still unbeknownst to him that when he would return to Flemond, his whole life would be turned upside down...
The night before our wedding, my fiancée let her so-called "best friend" butcher the gown my late mother had sewn, chopping it into a revealing mini dress.
I rushed over with the ruined dress in my arms, ready to demand answers: only to catch their voices through the door:
"Imagine him expecting me to wear something a dead woman stitched. What a curse!"
Through the narrow gap, I saw my distant, frigid fiancée flushed with color, straddling his lap.
"What we did at the bridal shop wasn't enough," she murmured. "Tomorrow, walking down the aisle in this tiny dress you made me, it'll be even more exhilarating."
Their lips met.
My hand froze against the door, and inside, something broke with a soundless crack.
If she longed for thrills, I would grant her some.
She earned the crown.
Now she must prove she deserves it.
