Chapter 1

After my boyfriend confessed he was the heir to an old Manhattan investment banking dynasty, I found a group chat on his phone.

It was called:

【Claire Observation Log】

Ethan, his younger brother Liam, his best friend Derek, and his childhood friend Vivian were all in it.

My fingers trembled as I opened the chat.

Liam: What was her reaction when you told her who you are?

Derek: Probably threw herself at you, right? Gold diggers like her—I’ve seen plenty. Wouldn’t surprise me if she already knew your identity and was just hanging on.
