The Poorest Rich Girl

Summary

My boyfriend's childhood friend had set her sights on the one keepsake my mother left me. She wheedled and needled at me for weeks, but I never gave in.

A few months later, my boyfriend came to me again, saying his business had failed and left him buried in loan-shark debt. He said that if he couldn't pay it back, the collectors would cut off his limbs.

To help him settle it, I handed over every cent I'd saved, even my mother's bracelet.

That same night, while I was working at the club, I overheard a conversation in one of the private booths.
