Chapter 4
Even though the intimate parts were blurred and Jaxon’s face was deliberately obscured, anyone who knew her could recognize her immediately.[]
The comment section was filled with disgusting attacks:[]
[Acts all pure and innocent, but she’s such a slut behind closed doors?]]]
[Damn, look at those positions… our little scholar’s pretty kinky…]]]
[I heard Riley was sleeping around since sophomore year. These are probably from when she got caught freshman year. So shameless. Why the hell would Jaxon even want her?!]]
Riley was shaking all over, barely able to hold her phone.[]
This was her first time dealing with something like this. Her mind went blank, with only one thought–she had to get these photos taken down!]]
She immediately contacted the forum administrator, but they just said apologetically: “Sorry, this post… can’t be removed.“[]
The backlash kept growing. With nowhere else to turn, Riley had to find Jaxon.[]
Jaxon was casually lounging on the couch gaming when she appeared in front of him, pale as a ghost. He raised an eyebrow: “What’s up? Need something?”
Riley gripped her clothes tightly, her voice barely audible: “The photos on the forum… can you help get them taken down?“[]
jaxon put down his phone, a playful smirk spreading across his face: “Babe, when you’re asking for favors, you gotta show some… action, you know?“]
His gaze shamelessly roamed over her body, his meaning crystal clear.
Riley bit her lower lip hard, her nails digging into her palms.]
She knew what he wanted, and she knew she had no choice.[]
She steeled herself and slowly took off her clothes, settling onto his lap…]

After a wild night, Riley woke up groggy to find Jaxon getting dressed by the bed.[]
Seeing her wake up, he kissed her neck covered in bite marks: “Easy, babe. Get some more sleep. The photos are down, and this won’t happen again.“]]
Riley’s anxiety finally eased, and she tiredly closed her eyes, falling back into deep sleep.]
She didn’t know how long had passed when loud voices woke her up.[]
“Jax, you’ve been screwing Riley for so long, you’ve got enough experience now. Since you two are fighting anyway, just break

up already. Why bother going back for more?” a guy’s voice came through, “Don’t tell me… you actually caught feelings for her?”
Riley’s whole body went rigid, and she held her breath.[]
Outside the door, Jaxon was quiet for a moment before snorting: “Nah.“[]
He paused, his voice lazy: “I just wanted to learn a few more moves to keep Sophia happy later.“[]
Riley’s head exploded with a loud buzzing, everything going white.]]
Those photos–Jaxon had posted them?]
He’d deliberately destroyed her reputation just to… learn a few more positions to please Sophia Rain?![]
She pressed her hands over her mouth to keep from making noise, but her body uncontrollably shrank back, accidentally knocking over makeup from the vanity.[]
CRASH!
The sharp sound of breaking glass echoed through the room.
It went dead silent outside.[]
“…Riley’s not awake, is she?” the guy’s voice dropped to a whisper.
“No way.” Jaxon sounded certain, but footsteps approached the bedroom.[]
Riley tensed up completely and quickly lay back down, pretending to sleep.[]
The door creaked open, and Jaxon stood in the doorway, looking at her.
She kept her eyes tightly shut, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst.[]
“Ts, just that stupid cat.” Jaxon cursed under his breath, walking over to pick up the cat that had jumped onto the vanity. “Don’t wake her up.“[]
The door closed again, and Riley finally opened her eyes, tears silently soaking the pillow.
…]
The next day, Jaxon brought her to the graduation dinner party.[]
Riley had wanted to refuse, but thinking she’d never see these classmates again anyway, she went.[]
At the dinner table, Jaxon kept taking care of Sophia–serving her food, pouring her drinks, being incredibly attentive.[]
“Jaxon, you should take care of Riley too,” someone teased, “Aren’t you worried your girlfriend will get jealous?”
“Yeah, people who don’t know might think Sophia’s your girlfriend!“[]
“But honestly, you and Sophia do make a better match…“[]
Chapter 4
Facing everyone’s teasing, Riley remained expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with her.[]
Only then did Jaxon halfheartedly put some food in her bowl–all seafood.[]
Riley stared at the shrimp and crab in her bowl, feeling like her heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand.[]
She was allergic to seafood.[]
Jaxon had never known that.[]
Of course–he only looked for her when he wanted sex. They barely talked otherwise. How would he know what she liked?]
How naive had she been to think… he actually cared about her?]
