Chapter 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
The day Olivia interviewed at the company, she bombed spectacularly. Kai was visibly disgusted with her performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t think twice about this candidate who clearly lacked both education and skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But somehow, she got hired anyway. Not just hired-she somehow clawed her way up from nobody to Kai\u2019s executive assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I first realized something was seriously wrong when I spotted our matching promise ring on Olivia\u2019s finger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At first, when I confronted him, Kai would patiently explain and try to make me feel better.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But over time, he just got annoyed with my questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more I held back, compromised, and tried to please him, the more blatantly he favored Olivia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Company dinners became all about Olivia\u2019s food preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Olivia worked maybe half-days while spending the rest of her time partying with Kai.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kai dumped all of Olivia\u2019s actual assistant work on me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He started mentioning her more and more around me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
First it was unconscious praise and admiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he started comparing us-telling me I wasn\u2019t as thoughtful as her, not as considerate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The breaking point came during a company afternoon coffee break. Kai mentioned his latte tasted amazing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Olivia said she wanted to try it, so Kai handed over his cup without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put her lips right on his straw and took a huge sip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then Kai took the cup back and kept drinking, right over her lipstick mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, my heart felt like it was being crushed by invisible hands-sour and painful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, Olivia\u2019s boundary-crossing got worse and worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Worried about Kai getting sunburned, she\u2019d rub sunscreen all over his body with her own hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I\u2019d pack Kai lunch, she\u2019d make lunch too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d always eat mine first, claiming she loved my cooking, then make Kai eat hers instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even my birthday celebration got canceled because Olivia had a cold and needed Kai\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But whenever I complained about any of this, Kai would snap:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLia, you\u2019ve got such a dirty mind. Liv works so hard for me-I\u2019m just looking out for my employee. Don\u2019t project your sick thoughts onto her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As time went on, he sounded less and less convinced saying it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The final straw was a major industry event. The organizers required plus-ones, but Kai never told me. He took\u00a0<\/p>\n
Olivia instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I only found out when multiple people asked if we\u2019d broken up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I confronted him, Kai was even angrier than me: \u201cI was just helping Liv network and develop talent for the company. Why are you being so petty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That time, we had the longest cold war yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So long I actually thought we might be done for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until his late-night text: \u201cBaby, my stomach really hurts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All my fake indifference crumbled instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And so the toxic cycle started again-me questioning, him getting mad, me appeasing, him forgiving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I snapped the ring box shut and tossed it in the trash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deep in my drawer was an apology letter eighteen-year-old Kai had written after missing one of my texts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, he actually gave a damn about me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now all he cared about was Olivia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pulled out the letter, tore it into pieces, and threw them away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After clearing out decades of memories, the house felt empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart felt just as hollow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 3\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company group chat was still blowing up with photos of Olivia celebrating Kai\u2019s birthday and making him laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Knowing how much Kai favored her, my coworkers were kissing ass left and right:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOMG, Kai and Liv are such a perfect match!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the kind of girlfriend you want-not some bitter, jealous bitch like Lia who\u2019s always throwing tantrums.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLia only got where she is because of daddy\u2019s money. Liv earned her position. There\u2019s no comparison.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was done watching this shit show. I called my lawyer and told him to pull all my investments from Reynolds Corp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
