"Go away and don't ever show up before me again!"

After saying those words, I immediately left, walking alone in the rain and crying hysterically. Recalling every moment we had spent together, it felt like I was having a sweet dream.

Two years ago, I met Killian in the hospital room.

He was lying on the bed in a double room, his face pale and his eyes helpless, like a wounded puppy, with scars on his wrists from a failed suicide attempt.

Later, I found out that his parents had died in a car accident and his family had gone bankrupt, causing him to suffer from severe depression.

When I first moved in, my boyfriend shared his experience of fighting depression with me.

When I exhibited somatic symptom disorder, he comforted and protected me, preventing me from harming myself.

During the most difficult time, we leaned on each other for warmth and established a romantic relationship.

After a short period of treatment, my condition had basically recovered, but my boyfriend's was getting worse and worse. What was even worse, he had no money for treatment.

Therefore, in order to treat his illness, I gave up the qualification for pursuing my postgraduate study and started doing various odd jobs. Tutoring, cleaning and kitchen assistance ... I had done any jobs I could get.

I was afraid that my boyfriend would have no one to take care of him if he fell ill at night while living in the dormitory, so I rented a house off campus.

My friends around me who knew about it said that it was not worth it for me to do this. However, I had already had the confidence that Killian was the person who would accompany me throughout my life.

Even if I only slept for four hours a day and had bagged instant noodles for every meal, I did not feel aggrieved.

Under my careful care, Killian's condition began to gradually improve.

The doctor said that after taking the last course of treatment, he would recover!

Today was my birthday and also the day my boyfriend was discharged from the hospital. To celebrate this day, I managed to get a part-time job at a wedding photography studio and earned eighty-five dollars!

It had been two years! My beloved Killian could finally recover and I was finally willing to buy myself a birthday cake.

I could have never imagined that the couple who was going to take a wedding photo would be my boyfriend and the beauty of the campus, Sarah ....

The eighty-five dollars was also a "reward" given to me by my boyfriend.

I had cried so much that I lost my voice and my face was numb when I returned to campus.

I glanced at the schedule and noticed that the dance club had an important event that would count towards academic credits.

I did not have time to change my clothes and walked into the venue all wet.

In the center of the event venue with more than a hundred people, Sarah, who was wearing a white dress, exquisite makeup and elegant dancing shoes, danced gracefully with her boyfriend.

I was not in the mood to watch her performance, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Zendaya, where are you going?" Sarah's voice suddenly sounded.

Countless people's eyes were focused on me.

I turned my head and looked at her in astonishment.

A faint smile flickered across the corner of her mouth and she said, "I would like to take this opportunity of the club activities to express my gratitude to my classmate, Zendaya, in public."

"During the two years I was abroad for exchange, she provided sexual services to my boyfriend for two years and fifteen days."

There was an uproar in the whole venue.

More than a hundred people were whispering and pointing at me. Shameless bitch, what a despicable girl ....

Countless sharp words pierced my eardrums.

Sarah's face was filled with a triumphant expression.

"To show my gratitude for your hard work, I will charge you fifteen dollars per night according to your market price, a total of eleven thousand twenty-five dollars."

She took out a thick stack of money from her branded bag and placed it on the table, saying jokingly, "Now, let's invite Zendaya Hearst to come up to the stage and receive the award!"

The laughter of the crowd rang out and I had almost nowhere to escape under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes.

I gritted my teeth and walked over to Sarah step by step.

The surrounding chatter became increasingly harsh.

"No way, she really has the nerve to take the money?"

"I heard that Zendaya is so poor that she can't even afford the cheapest meal in the cafeteria, so it's normal for her to take the money."

"Fifteen dollars for the night, she's really cheap."

"If it were me, I would never take this money even if I died. She's so pathetic ...."

In the midst of the chatter, I picked up the money on the table and sprinkled it on top of Sarah's head.

I was foolish and naive, I might be fooled by scumbag, but I was not a weak and cheap girl!

More than ten thousand dollars flew through the air and fell one by one to the floor.

Sarah, who was crossing her arms in front of her chest, widened her eyes in surprise. "You! Are you crazy?"

"I never expected you to be even more despicable than I thought!"

I picked up the microphone and cried out to the audience with tears in my eyes. "Killian, stand up!"

In a corner of the hall, my boyfriend stood up with his head down.

I held back the sobs in my throat and complained. "Isn't it satisfying to deceive other girl into sleeping with you and spending money on you while you have a girlfriend?"

Killian lowered his head, not daring to meet my eyes, as if he was feeling guilty.

I could not control my emotions anymore and shouted at him. "Why did you lie to me?"

Killian struggled to lift his head, looked at Sarah and then looked at me. His Adam's apple moved, but he did not say anything.

Sarah smiled and said threateningly, "Dear, if you don't answer, do you really like this bitch?"

His eyes were teary and he said with difficulty, "Zendaya, remember this."

"The reason why you were deceived by me is not only because you are cheap, but also because you are stupid."

He finally spoke up. His every word was like the sharpest knife, piercing my heart fiercely.

I grasped my chest, feeling dizzy and almost suffocated by the pain amid the laughter of hundreds of people.

Before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see Killian rushing towards me. He shouted in panic. "Call a doctor quickly!"

My world was completely fell into darkness.

In a few moments later, I woke up and I found myself lying on the bed of the campus infirmary.

A strange girl sat by the bed and seemed to have been with me for a long time.

Seeing me wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zendaya, you finally woke up."

I remembered that the girl's name was Joanna Ryder. She was Killian's cousin.

I asked weakly, "What are you doing here?"

Joanna took out a bank card and a plastic ring from her pocket. "Zendaya, my brother knows that you have paid the house rent and the hospitals bills for him."

"His secondary card has a limit of one hundred forty thousand dollars, you can use it freely."

"This ring is a token of your love. He hopes you can keep it for him temporarily."

"You just need to be patient for another seven days and my brother will give you an explanation."

I asked coldly, "Are you done?"

Joanna stood up and said politely, "Zendaya, I won't bother you anymore. Take care of yourself."

When I left the infirmary, I broke my boyfriend's secondary card and threw it into the garbage dump along with the plastic ring.

My feelings for him, along with the token of our love, also ended up in the garbage dump.

A scumbag who had deceived me, I did not care about him no matter how rich he was!

I did not have any classes recently, so I bought a train ticket and planned to go back to my hometown to have a rest for a few days.

After a two-hour trip by train, I returned to my old residential building at dusk.

When I opened the door, I saw my mother sitting at dining room, secretly wiping away tears. Meanwhile my seven-year-old little sister was crying uncontrollably and her eyes were swollen.

I was surprised and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

My mother was also surprised by my arrival. She hurriedly picked up her apron, covered the pile of advertising papers on the table and forced a smile on her face. "Zendaya, how did you get back home?"

I did not respond my mother's question and asked her back, "Mom, what are you hiding?"

My mother lifted her sleeves and secretly wiped away her tears. "Nothing. It's just some people with no sense of public morality who threw flyers around."

I asked again, "Where's Dad?"

My mother answered a bit haltingly, "Your dad was working in construction site a few days ago, then he accidentally fell and got injured quite badly. Now, he is resting in the room."

I pushed open the door to my parents' room and saw my father, with bandages all over his body and a bruised face, reading a newspaper on the bed.

The injuries on his body were clearly from being beaten!

I realized something was wrong, so I grabbed my little sister and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

My sister burst into tears. "Zendaya, someone threw flyers insulting you on the street. Dad went to argue with them and got beaten up by them."

"There's nothing we can do. They threw the flyers everywhere, then Mom and I picked the flyers up a quite far away behind them."

"It took a whole day and night to pick up all the flyers."

Hearing my sister's whole story, I hurried back to the dining table and flipped through the messy flyers.

There were slogans such as 'Bitch', 'Seducing another girl's boyfriend' written on it. Below the slogan, there were various disgusting photos of me that had been photoshopped.

My tears welled up in an instant. "Mom and Dad, I won't let those bastards bully us for nothing!"

"I'll go find them!"

I ignored my family's objections and bought the fastest train ticket back to the campus.

When I rushed into Sarah's dormitory, she was sitting on a chair, looking at me with an evil smile. "Oh, Zendaya, how does it feel to be home?"

I said angrily, “You spread rumors and stir up trouble and even hire thugs to beat people!”

"I'm going to sue you and make you go to jail and pay the price!"

Sarah responded arrogantly, "Which step doesn't cost money, from investigating to hiring a lawyer to going to court?"

"I can hire the best lawyer in the country. But what about you? You can only seek legal aid."

"If you lose the lawsuit, I'm afraid even if you sell your house or land, you still won't be able to compensate me for my mental damages."

I stood in place for a while, speechless.

I could fight to the death with Sarah, but what about my parents and little sister?

For the sake of my family, I immediately gave up the idea of revenge. I said desperately, "Sarah, you can humiliate me, but don't harass my parents."

Sarah crossed her legs and said with a sinister smile, "You want to beg for mercy? That's easy."

"At the graduation ceremony seven days from now, I will hold an engagement ceremony with Killian in front of all my classmates."

"When the time comes, I hope you can wear a bridesmaid dress and go on stage with me."

I said numbly, "As long as you can let my parents go, anything is fine."

She threw a piece of clothing on the ground and said, "Go back and try it on to see if it fits."

What was thrown on the ground was not clothes at all, but a chain and a revealing cosplay costume with a dog tail.

I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sarah smiled and said, "A female dog in heat like you, seducing my man, of course you have to wear dog clothes."
