Chapter 1

I stayed by Lucian Reed's side for eight years. I was there when he was a nobody, and I was there when he became a superstar.

During his comeback concert, he reached the most emotional part of his song. He suddenly knelt toward the backstage area.

"Jane, will you marry me?" he asked.

The fans screamed in a frenzy. I, however, collapsed to the floor.

He was singing the song he wrote for me, yet he was proposing to his old flame.

The proposal was a success. On stage, they held each other and cried.

Meanwhile, I was trampled by the surging crowd until I suffered a fracture. I lay there in the dark until everyone left and someone finally found me.

I called him through the pain, but there was no answer. A second later, I saw his private account officially announcing his relationship.

Looking at the photos of them kissing on the trending page, I let out a self-deprecating laugh.

I sent a text back to my boss: "I agree. I'll be Jace Wilder's manager."

If it's betrayal you want, so be it. I put you on that throne, and I can drag you right back down to the gutter.
