Last summer, I went overseas to study there for a semester. My father got me a condo close to the university where Tyler attended so I gave him a spare key to my place. However, I finished my course earlier than anticipated so I got to go back soon.
To my surprise, Tyler was living in my condo—everything was a mess. My bags and clothes were everywhere, even my shoes. I wondered who would use them but when I heard their voices as I walked inside, my doubts started to grow. Back then, I realized that Tyler’s relationship with Amber was unusual. It was as if they were playing house at my place, with Amber using all my stuff thinking I wasn’t around.
I loved Tyler despite all that. I tried to get along with Amber even if she kept messing up my relationship with Tyler. All along, I thought everything would be fine. But why would he say those things? He was even fooling around with his so-called younger sister!
My head became more fuzzy as I listened to their filthy noises. Amber’s heavy breathing while moaning filled my ears as I slumped on the floor.
I couldn’t help but remember everything since Tyler confessed his feelings to me. My friends were expecting me to reject him. After all, I was born into a wealthy family—a princess, and Tyler was an ordinary man who struggled to live day by day.
My friends firmly disagreed, thinking they lost my mind. As someone from a prestigious family, dating a poor man was a huge embarrassment. But they didn’t know why I fell for Tyler. He saved my life once when I was 7 and drowning. Since then, I started having feelings for him. It was love at first sight and I was grateful when he cherished me back.
At the beginning of our relationship, Tyler was very sweet and caring. That was why I couldn’t understand how he could bear to do this to me. He wasn’t the type who would cheat—but that wasn’t the case now that he was doing it with someone else.
Back then, I had no idea why he slowly changed, giving me a cold shoulder. But I knew now. It was all because of Amber.
Amber’s hostility towards me had no end. It started when Tyler introduced me to Amber and his mother who was sick then.
“She’s the one? There’s nothing special about her at all. Just average,” Amber commented as soon as she laid her eyes on me.
