Ivy was losing her damn mind with jealousy.
From the second she broke into the design world, everyone was talking about Stella Harper.
“Creative genius,” “total prodigy” all that praise was constantly thrown at Stella.
–
Through some random connections, she actually got to meet Stella in person this legend she’d only stalked on Instagram.
She started getting close to Stella with major fangirl energy, and found out about her seemingly perfect boyfriend too.
Three years together, and Ryan was totally whipped for Stella.
At the office, they were this power couple crushing every project. At home, they were disgustingly cute together.
Dream relationship, badass career, stunning looks literally everything about Stella made Ivy feel like a basic nobody.
At first, Ivy genuinely looked up to Stella.
Maybe even had a bit of a girl crush. She figured Stella earned all that success and happiness.
Plus, hearing about Stella’s shitty childhood in foster care, Ivy actually felt bad for her.
Sure, she was adopted, but her family was loaded and obsessed with her. She had trust fund money for days.
Next to that, Stella seemed so alone and tragic.
It actually made Ivy feel pretty lucky about her situation.
Until her adoptive parents dropped the bomb that they’d tracked down their real daughter.
That’s when Ivy started freaking out.
She was terrified they’d stop giving a shit about her once their biological kid showed up. Scared they’d just
toss her aside.
When she found out their real daughter WAS Stella? Ivy completely spiraled.
And her parents were already obsessing over Stella’s boyfriend too, talking about helping his business blow

Chapter 20
Brains, beauty, career- Ivy couldn’t win against Stella at anything.
Her admiration turned into straight-up poison. She became paranoid that Stella was gonna steal her whole
life.
She started plotting ways to prove she was better, to get her parents focused back on her.
Looks, talent, boyfriend…
After sizing up her options, Ivy locked onto Ryan.
he knew exactly how much Stella loved Ryan, and how hard they’d fought to make it work.
Given Stella’s shitty past, losing Ryan would absolutely destroy her.
yan was thoughtful, patient, ambitious – basically the perfect guy.
Watching him take care of Stella, Ivy couldn’t help fantasizing: if she and Ryan were together, would he treat
er that way too?
he approached Ryan with a deal – she’d give him serious money if he’d dump Stella and be with her instead.
he figured with that kind of cash on the table, no relationship could survive. They weren’t even married yet.
But Ryan shut her down hard, saying he’d never leave Stella. Not in this lifetime.
vy couldn’t wrap her head around it. Why did Stella get all the good shit?
What made her so damn special?
io Ivy went to Ryan’s boss, his business partners, anyone who could put pressure on him.
‘inally, word came that Ryan had lost his memory.
When Ivy visited him at the hospital, Ryan saw her and immediately grabbed her hand, telling her he loved
ier.
At first she was over the moon, thinking she’d finally won.
But she quickly caught on, because she noticed Ryan still looked at Stella with love in his eyes.
No matter how cruel he was to her, he’d still secretly leave medicine for Stella when she got hurt.
Ivy figured it out Ryan was faking the whole amnesia thing.

But so what?
Real or fake didn’t matter one bit.
Watching Stella slowly fall apart in the Reed house was pure entertainment for Ivy.
They’d make out in front of Stella, hold hands, do all the couple-y shit right in her face.
Stella kept getting worse and worse.
But she still hung on, waiting for Ryan to “get his memory back.”
Ivy found it hilarious.
How do you recover from memory loss that never happened?
What an idiot.
She kept pushing harder, making out with Ryan like crazy in front of Stella, trying to force her to leave faster
–
Ryan was honestly amazing – even while acting, he was so sweet to her. Ivy got totally addicted to it.
Sometimes she’d even convince herself that Ryan was actually catching feelings for her.
Late at night, she’d hope this whole game could last forever.
When Stella finally left, Ivy thought she’d won.
Ryan would be hers, and so would everything that came with the Reed family.
But reality had other plans.
The Reeds disowned her, and Ryan dumped her too.
Ivy blamed it all on Stella.
If Stella hadn’t existed, wouldn’t everything be different?
Cold wind hit Ivy’s face as she huddled on a park bench, pulling her coat tighter.
Some homeless guy walked by and gave her a creepy look.
She screamed: “What the hell are you staring at? Do you know who I am? I’m Reed family royalty! Look at me again and I’ll rip your eyes out!”
The guy just looked disgusted, spat on the ground, and walked away without bothering to deal with her

crazy ass.
Just then, her phone buzzed with a notification. Ivy saw Stella’s latest Instagram post.
Location tagged: London.
Something vicious flashed in Ivy’s eyes as she started typing a long post.
She exposed everything Ryan had done, told everyone he’d gone missing, and posted his photos.
Soon enough, a comment popped up under her post.
[I think I saw him on the street with some other person involved in this drama.]
