The Love Thief's Game

Chapter 1

1,075 words

The first thing I did after I was reborn was dump Chloe, my devoted girlfriend, and immediately turn around to accept the obsessive Serena's advances.

Only because in my past life, my so-called best friend, Ryan, had bound an App that could transfer all of Chloe's love for me straight to him.

I remembered asking her, eyes burning red, why she'd changed. But she had just looked at me with chilling disgust.

"We broke up ages ago. Stop harassing my boyfriend!"

On my birthday, Ryan went live on Instagram, showing off the private island Chloe had booked for him.

Meanwhile, I was locked away by them in a psychiatric hospital.

They called me a delusional stalker, a crazy person. I died in despair amidst endless, so-called treatments and drug injections.

Then, I opened my eyes again. I was back.

This time, I wouldn't give Chloe an ounce of my true feelings. Instead, I'd pretend to reciprocate Serena's.

When Ryan opened that App again, ready to siphon off Serena's overwhelming, pathological love, I just smiled.

I wanted to see if he could actually handle it.
