His Boys’ Chat Exposed My Trauma,So I Burned His EmpireChapter 1

On New Year's Eve, I sat on a train for five hours to reach my boyfriend's city, wanting to surprise him.

What I didn't expect was that his apartment—where he was supposedly working overtime—would be filled with people and laughter.

Through the glass window, I saw him at the center of a crowd, standing beside a girl I'd never seen before.

The girl had drawn a "truth" card in whatever game they were playing. The people around her teased and cajoled until her cheeks flushed pink.

Kevin James stepped in front of her, his tone casual, almost bored.

"Same rule as always—I'll trade a secret about Millicent Simmons instead. That work?"

My hand froze on the door handle.

His voice drifted through the glass, light and careless, every word perfectly clear.

"She was assaulted. A long time ago."

A high-pitched ringing filled my ears.

Inside, the room erupted.

"Holy shit, that's insane!"

"Wait, aren't girls who go through that supposed to become, like, super conservative? But Millicent's always done up, posting selfies every day—doesn't seem like the type."

Someone snickered.
