Chapter 23

  Serena's POV.

  My phone beeped, breaking the silence. I picked it up, wiping away my tears. A smile spread across my face when I saw the message from Netizen G.

  I had been looking forward to ranting to him about my messy relationship life.

  But as I unlocked my phone, my smile faltered. Netizen G's message was a cry for help.

  "I messed things up for real. I don't know what to do. My heart is breaking. I think I like this girl, and I can't afford to lose her."

  A bitter smile twisted my lips. I couldn't help but feel envy. This girl was lucky to have someone so invested in her, someone who was willing to go extreme just for her.

  Meanwhile, I was stuck in a twisted game between two brothers, a pawn in their ego-driven battle.

  Why couldn't I be the one someone was desperate to keep? Why was I just a prize to be won, a trophy to be claimed? The thought stung, and I felt my tears welling up again.
