Chapter 1

My best friend suggested I use a fake account to test my boyfriend's loyalty.

I agreed. I registered a burner account and told her it was his.

Once she added him, she immediately started trashing me, claiming I was cheating on multiple guys, that I'd been 'around the block' too many times. At the same time, she flooded him with super sexy, revealing photos—low-cut tops, legs spread, ass provocatively posed.

"Hey, big boy, wanna hook up?"

"I'm super obedient, you can do anything you want with me."

I replied, "I don't believe it, unless you..."

The next day, during a company-wide meeting, Serena was rushed to the emergency room by paramedics, after a foreign object inside her vibrated so violently, she collapsed.

After my boyfriend proposed to me, my best friend, Serena, seemed a little off.

Was she worried I'd be mistreated?

But Liam was not only tall, handsome, and highly educated, he came from a good family and was completely devoted to me. I couldn't find a single flaw.

Or was she upset that after I got married, I'd have less time for her?

I even tried to reassure her, "Liam loves taking me all over the world, but don't worry, I'll bring you a souvenir from every single place."

To my surprise, she got even angrier after hearing that.

I tried everything to calm her down, but nothing worked. I started to get anxious and asked her what was really going on.

Serena was my best friend; we'd known each other since elementary school.

She'd been there for almost every important moment of my life. I really didn't want her to have any unspoken concerns about my marriage or my fiancé.

Serena counted on her fingers, stammering, "Chloe, I'm still a bit worried about Liam. Are you being too rash deciding to marry him?"

My heart sank. Was Liam cheating on me?

Seeing the change in my expression, Serena quickly waved her hands, "I'm just being reasonably suspicious, you know? Think about it, what man doesn't stray? Especially Liam, with his amazing looks and background. Plenty of girls chase after him. Why would he be so completely devoted to *you*? Your... well, your 'conditions' are just… okay, I guess."

I frowned. What was she implying? That I wasn't good enough for my own boyfriend?

Serena quickly tried to backtrack, "My point is, marriage is a huge decision, a lifelong commitment. It's never too late to make sure you fully understand and trust a person's character before you tie the knot."

"What if he shows his true colors after marriage, cheats, or becomes abusive? Your whole life would be ruined!"

I hesitated, "So what do you suggest I do?"

Serena's eyes lit up. She grabbed my hand and said, "Give me your boyfriend's SnapChat. I'll add him with a fake account and test him. If he can resist the temptation, it means he's a good guy, and then I'll feel comfortable letting you marry him."

Immediately, I felt uneasy. This clearly showed a lack of trust in Liam, and it wasn't how I usually handled things.

But Serena kept pestering me, so I finally told her I'd think about it and get back to her later.

When I got home, I thought long and hard. I decided to tell Liam everything. Honesty was key in a relationship. Instead of playing games, it was better to talk things through. If there was a problem, we could cut our losses early. No big deal.

I finished telling him, expecting him to be angry. Instead, he burst out laughing. He stroked my head and said,

"Are you sure that's your best friend? Or is she a frenemy trying to steal your boyfriend? Her intentions are practically screaming in my face. What a manipulative schemer."

Annoyed, I swatted his hand away. "What kind of talk is that? We've been together for over ten years; we're not going to tear each other apart over some guy."

Liam looked like he wanted to say more but held back. Finally, he came up with an idea: "Okay, how about this. You register a fake account yourself. Give *her* that fake account and tell her it's mine. Then *you* can chat with her using the fake account."

"Let's see how she plans to 'test' me."

Just then, Serena messaged me again, urging me to give her my boyfriend's account.

A lightbulb went off. "Alright, that's what we'll do!"

I immediately registered a fake account and sent it to Serena.

The next second, I received a friend request: "Hey there, handsome."

I thought for a moment, and mimicking Liam's tone, I replied: "Who is this?"

She replied instantly: "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is, do you know your girlfriend is cheating on multiple guys behind your back, and you're just going to be left holding the bag?"
