Chapter 1

Preston made a bet with his friends, claiming he could easily win me over.

I slapped him hard across the face in front of them, showing no mercy.

He gritted his teeth and vowed to get back at me.

Everyone knew Preston's uncle had donated an entire building to the school.

With his influence, getting a student expelled was no big deal.

A man in a sharp suit confronted me, asking if I was the one who hit his nephew.

I snapped, "So what are you going to do about it?"

His face darkened as he pinned me against the wall, kissing me until I couldn't breathe. "When you hit him, were you thinking of me?"

My bestie Mona dragged me to Preston's birthday party.

She had been chasing him for over six months, and they finally got together last month.

But I didn't like Preston. He clearly treated Mona like a backup option.

"Pansy, please, you have to come with me! You're my best friend!"

After Mona's relentless pleading, I agreed to give up my Saturday night to go to Preston's villa for his birthday.

When we arrived, I overheard his friends teasing him.

"Preston, man, you're killing it! Always got girls lining up!"

"This one's got an even better figure than the last."

Preston smirked. "Good-looking and clueless. Who wouldn't take what's handed to them?"

I pretended not to hear, but Mona, oblivious, ran over and clung to his arm.

Preston was always like this.

Teenage boys bragged about how many girls they could date, as if it was some kind of trophy.

I tried to warn Mona, but she was too infatuated, convinced her persistence had won him over.

I regretted not recording Preston's words. If I could get proof he was a jerk, maybe Mona would finally give up on him.

Tonight, I'd find my chance.

Later, while we were eating, another guy showed up.

"Where's the school's hottest girl? You already dumped her?" one of his friends said, slapping his shoulder and glancing at Mona. "Wow, you move fast."

"Keep it down. Let's talk upstairs."

They headed to the second floor, arms around each other. I followed quietly, unnoticed.

Through a slightly open door, I heard crude laughter. "When are you gonna seal the deal? You'll break your own record."

I quickly turned on my phone's recorder.

Preston spoke lazily. "She's here tonight. You think I'd let her leave?"

"She's down for that?"

"She's been crushing on me for months, following me like a lost puppy. Can't shake her off."

"You've already gone through all the good-looking girls at school. Leave some for the rest of us, Preston."

He laughed mockingly. "I'll dump her after I'm done. Take her if you want."

I got what I needed and was about to slip away.

But at that moment, Mona called me, and the ringtone blared. My heart stopped.

The guys inside heard it too.

I bolted, darting into the nearest room on the right and shutting the door in one swift motion.

I pressed my back against it, barely daring to breathe.

But when I looked up, I saw a naked man staring at me, puzzled.

It was my first time seeing a man without clothes. My eyes nearly popped out.

His features were sharp and striking, his abs defined, water droplets still clinging to his skin.

My face burned red.

I wanted to speak, but the words stuck in my throat as footsteps approached outside.

"I swear I heard a door shut!"

The man casually wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the door calmly. I hid behind it, frantically gesturing for him to stay quiet.

"Uncle Timothy, you're home? Not at the office?" Preston's voice came from just beyond the door.

"Yeah."

"Was that you passing by my room just now?"
