He Paid Me To Strip So I Smashed His Head Instead Chapter 08

The live comments exploded.

[What the hell?! The rival love interest is so shameless!]

[Shut up!]

[I’m so over this bitch. When is she getting written off?! I’ll report this if she doesn’t die soon.]

[Fuck. Two of the reverse harem romance novel’s love interests are already tainted.]

[Ahhh, my OTP is ruined.]

[How did the plot derail this badly? Shouldn’t the male leads have seen through her by now?]

[Is the author on drugs?]

I glanced at the screen, ignoring the drama. Lighting a sparkler, I tried to slip away, but Xavier’s hand closed around my arm.

His expression was dark and unreadable.

I winced. “You’re hurting me.”

Xavier loosened his grip slightly but didn’t let go. “Sorry.”

I glared at him impatiently.

He stared straight into my eyes. “You’re not her.”

His voice was certain.

I smiled. “Then who am I?”

Xavier didn’t answer. He just kept looking at me like he wouldn’t release me until he got an answer.

I sighed and shrugged. “Fine. I’m not her.”

His eyes deepened, shadowed.

I exhaled. “Actually, I’m Serena Sterling’s alternate personality.”

Xavier froze. In that moment, I yanked my hand free and rubbed my wrist.

The live comments went wild.

[Oh shit. Did I hear that right?]

[Wait. Is Serena schizophrenic now?]

[This has to be another one of her tricks,playing victim for Xavier’s pity]

[Am I the only one who thinks this might actually be a plot twist planted by the author?]

I kept talking, voice quick.I winked at Xavier. “That’s my secret. You’ll keep it, right?”

He studied me, weighing the truth.

I tilted my chin up and gave him a sweet smile.

To anyone watching, it looked like an intimate, locked gaze.

“Xavier, why…?” Chloe’s voice broke through, her eyes rabbit-red. “You knew what she was doing… Why didn’t you push her away?”

I spoke calmly. “ Chloe, what gives you the right to question him?”

“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Thorne, you’re still my fiancé.”

Though the bankruptcy had made the engagement a farce, neither family had formally ended it.

Ethan stepped in like a knight in shining armor. “Serena, that’s in the past. It’s not ten years ago anymore.”
