You've got some nerve."</p> <p>"Seems to me he's just playing with you. He never intended to make it public. You should give up on this fantasy."</p> <p>Mia panicked and blurted out, "Bullshit! The one who isn't loved is the real mistress. What we have is true love!"</p> <p>I raised an eyebrow. "True love that tells you to go without underwear and use a vibrator? True love that parades you in lingerie for everyone to see? True love that won't stand up for you when your boyfriend hits you?"</p> <p>"Wow. Such true love indeed."</p> <p>Mia choked on her words. She stomped her foot in frustration and ran off.</p> <p>Later, she sent my burner account several pleading emojis. Unable to resist, she finally asked for money.</p> <p>"Hey, I'm going through a rough patch right now. Could you lend me some cash? Not much, just fifty thousand dollars."</p> <p>I replied, "I never thought you'd be like this. I misjudged you!"</p> <p>Mia sent a question mark.</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_5 --> <p>I launched into a lecture. "I thought you were different—sweet, understanding, not materialistic. I believed you loved me for who I am, not like those gold diggers out there. But you're just after my money too!"</p> <p>She desperately typed back. "No, that's not true! I really do love you. I'm only asking because I'm in a tough spot."</p> <p>I sent a few heartbroken emojis. "I don't believe you. Let's end this. I guess there really isn't a woman worth loving in this world."</p> <p>Terrified of losing her catch, Mia backtracked immediately. She claimed it was just a joke. She swore she never meant to borrow money. Her love was pure and genuine, completely separate from financial matters.</p> <p>I "calmed down" and continued our casual conversation.</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_in_article_1 --> <p>To get rid of her ex quickly, Mia maxed out her credit cards. She took out every online loan she could find, even resorting to a naked loan.</p> <p>I accidentally saw the notifications popping up on her phone.</p> <p>Now she faced endless debt collectors. Panicked, she knew she had to secure Liam Evans fast.</p> <p>Desperate, she finally revealed her true identity to my burner account.</p> <p>"Actually, I'm Mia Lowell. I've had a crush on you for so long. Watching you with Olivia Sullivan breaks my heart."</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_1 --> <p>"Please give me a chance to love you properly."</p> <p>"I promise I'll cherish you and never hurt you."</p> <p>I laughed at her "confession" and replied, "Silly, I've known it was you all along."</p> <p>Mia sent a question mark.</p> <p>I told her I'd been interested in her too. But out of respect for Olivia, I never made a move.</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_2 --> <p>Besides, the only person who knew so much about Olivia and me was her best friend.</p> <p>I was testing her all along. Now she had finally passed.</p> <p>I believed she truly loved me.</p> <p>Mia was overjoyed. She immediately asked when I would break up with Olivia. She couldn't stand pretending to be friends with that disgusting woman any longer.</p> <p>I sent a mischievous emoji. "Olivia cheated on me behind my back. I can't let her off easy. I'll make sure she suffers humiliation and ruins her reputation."</p> <p>Mia replied, "I never knew you could be so ruthless. But I like it. I've always hated Olivia. Tell me, how do you plan to get back at her?"</p> <!-- /22796784223/Netlink/arkmoremoney.com/banner_in_article_5 --> </body></html>
