They Called Me a Gold Digger—Until They Learned the TrutChapter 1

Right after college graduation, my fiancée—who happened to be a CEO—threw me a lavish engagement party and even gave me a supplementary credit card, telling me to use it however I pleased.

I made up my mind not to touch the card, but she got upset.

“Gabriel, you’re going to be my husband. My money is your money. Just spend as much as you want! If you won’t even spend my money, does that mean you don’t love me? Or are you thinking of backing out of our engagement?”

Phoebe's eyes turned red as she begged me to use her money, claiming she couldn’t eat or sleep unless I did.

So, just to ease her mind, I used it twice—for two modest takeout meals.

But when I tried to treat her to a fancier lunch, the server told me the card had been maxed out.

I texted her to confirm the limit—and turned out it was a card with a five hundred thousand dollars limit.

Thinking maybe she just forgot she’d used it herself, I didn’t bring it up. I figured I’d wait until the next billing cycle reset, then buy her something nice as a sweet gesture.

However, I never expected her to storm into my workplace with a stack of receipts and tear into me.
