Chapter 2
Honestly, I was just a cheap stand–in for the real thing–his temporary fun and nothing else.
After the graduation ceremony, I dragged my tired self home.
The second I opened the door, Luca’s warm body pressed up against mine.
He leaned close and murmured in my ear, “Got you a present.”
looked over at the bed. The “gift” was a set of sexy lingerie.
How typical. I could not help but sneer.
Over the past three years. This book had been added on your bookshelf. he gave me were blindfolds, whips, or handcuffs.
However, for Cecelia? She got rings, necklaces, and handmade gifts.
If I had never seen how he looked when he really loved someone, maybe I could have tricked myself into thinking this was love, too.
However, I saw it before.
To him, I was just a toy–easy, disposable, and something to use when he felt like it. Nothing more.
When I did not answer, Luca kissed my neck and said hoarsely, “Put it on for me, please?”
I turned away from him, trying so hard not to cry.
“Luca, what am I to you?”

Maybe I said it too softly, or maybe he just did not care enough to listen.
“Huh?” he asked, distracted.
I forced a bitter smile and said calmly, “I need to tell you something.”
Luca raised an eyebrow.
When he was about to respond, his phone rang. Then, a girl’s soft sobs came through.
Luca’s whole expression shifted, and he just walked away without hesitation,
I did not bother stopping him.
It was because I knew that I could not get him to stay.
I did not feel sad or lonely.
I just accepted it calmly.
However, that night, while I was packing up my stuff, my phone suddenly buzzed.
I froze for a couple of seconds, then tapped the screen.
The photos that popped up made my whole body go cold.
They were all photos of me in all kinds of revealing lingerie, posing in ways that made my skin crawl.
My head went blank.
Before I could even process it, Cecelia’s mocking messages started rolling in.

“All you know is how to spread your legs for him. How shameless of you. You are disgusting for seducing your own uncle!
“Do you know everyone in Luca’s circle laughs about you? They’re all waiting to take turns when he’s bored with you.
“Stay away from him, or you’ll find out exactly what happens to trash like you.”
And just like that, every photo and voice message vanished.
I was shaking with anger. I could not believe Luca had taken those photos.
I did not even dare to imagine who he had shown them to. I just swallowed my tears and held myself together.
That same night, I took a cab straight to the apartment where he always stayed.
When Luca opened the door and saw me, he actually looked surprised.
He was about to smile until I stared him down and asked coldly, “Why did you take those pictures of me?”
His smile froze, and his eyes went cold in an instant.
“Did you go through my phone?” he snapped.
Luca always had strong boundaries. I was not allowed to touch his phone.
Yet, right now, Cecelia was holding it behind him with that smug little smirk on her face.
And in that second, I finally realized that his so–called boundaries only ever applied to me.

Even so, I was not upset. I just pulled out my own phone and showed him the chat.
My voice cracked, but I forced the words out. “Cecelia sent them. She deleted them, but the record’s right here.”
