Chapter 5\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson\u2019s eyes locked on my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those cold, arrogant eyes flickered-undeniable shock, raw attraction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chaos around us faded to white noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His throat bobbed. His voice came out softer than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re\u2026 the Morgan Pharma heiress?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I met his gaze head-on, nodded once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My voice wasn\u2019t loud. But it hit Kaia like a bomb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSERAPHINA MORGAN!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She whipped around, eyes bulging from the slits her swollen face allowed, screaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
How did you lose the weight?!\u00a0<\/p>\n
How DARE you lose the weight?!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything she couldn\u2019t say was written all over that twisted face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson\u2019s gaze finally shifted to the blob of flesh on the ground. His brow furrowed into a knot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He held up his phone. Screen showed Kaia\u2019s filtered, sweet-girl selfie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at the photo, then at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The confusion in his eyes deepened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the person I was talking to online-that was you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was asking me. His tone carried a hint of hope he didn\u2019t even realize was there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before I could answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia scrambled off the ground like a lunatic, lunged forward and grabbed his arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGray! It was ME! I\u2019m the one you were talking to!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clung to him like a mountain of flesh, tears and snot smeared across her face, looking both pathetic and horrifying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe photos are me! The chats are me! Gray, look at me-I\u2019m the Seraphina you were talking to!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just\u2026 I just got sick! That\u2019s why I look like this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
ta? Suro Babe-Now Borrow His HIV Too\u00a0<\/p>\n
40.0%\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 5\u00a0<\/p>\n
She fumbled for her phone, trying to shove it in his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the chat logs! Listen to my voice!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson didn\u2019t look at the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze stayed heavy on my face. \u201cYou tell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching Kaia lose her mind, I suddenly remembered last life-all those sob stories she\u2019d fed Grayson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a soft breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I looked up at Grayson again, my eyes glistened with unshed tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGray\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was always me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ignored Kaia completely. Just focused on Grayson, feeding him the exact same script she\u2019d used last life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI used Kaia\u2019s photos because I was insecure back then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut your affection made me want to become better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I spent these three months losing weight-just so I could stand in front of you like this, as my best self.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson\u2019s eyes darkened as he stared at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emotion rolled in his eyes-moved, softened, hooked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like that-he believed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNO! That\u2019s not true! She\u2019s lying!\u201d Kaia finally caught on, screaming hysterically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGray, don\u2019t believe her! She\u2019s the fraud!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson didn\u2019t even glance back at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reached into his pocket, pulled out the Ferrari keys, and gently placed them in my palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSera. You\u2019ve been through a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at him, didn\u2019t take it right away. Tears clung to my lashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026 I lied to you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter anymore.\u201d He cut me off, voice softening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe you standing in front of me now-that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNO-!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia exploded into a desperate shriek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to lunge forward again. Grayson stopped her with a single look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 5\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two bodyguards stepped up immediately, grabbing her by both arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cImpersonation. Slander.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson\u2019s voice went ice-cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cContact the school. I don\u2019t want to see this person again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGray! It\u2019s Seraphina who\u2019s lying-mmph!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mouth got covered by a guard\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All that was left were muffled whimpers as she got dragged away like a dying dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaia got expelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sick, bloated, and forgotten-she disappeared fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson started officially courting me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flowers. Gifts. Daily check-ins like clockwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t hide his favoritism. Even pulled Blackwell family resources to back my weight-loss formula launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A month later, we made it official.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, my career exploded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sera\u2019s 90-Day Miracle became a viral phenomenon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The herbal formula sold out the second it hit shelves and became Morgan Pharma\u2019s biggest hit in a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t stop. I used my first big payout to incubate more brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My weight-loss formula hit a billion in cumulative sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Grayson booked the city\u2019s top private club to celebrate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crystal chandeliers. Champagne flowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything was perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until a figure walked toward our table, carrying a glass of red wine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
