Chapter 1After My Boyfriend Paid Off His Junior's Debt

My Boyfriend's Junior Was Cornered by Debt Collectors

Ryan's junior was cornered by debt collectors. I tried to stop Ryan from getting involved, but I never expected the junior would attempt suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. Ryan acted nonchalant and prepared to marry me. Until one drunken night, he caressed the junior's photo lovingly and forced me to swallow a bottle of sleeping pills. He said if it weren't for my cold-heartedness and selfishness, his junior wouldn't have committed suicide. If I could live again, I would never interfere in their affairs.

"Babe, how much money do you have left? Bella's family has come again. You know we're close, and those people said if the debt isn't paid today, they'll take Bella and sell her off."

I was momentarily dazed, the lump in my throat yet to dissipate, when a large hand tightly gripped my sleeve.

I had a vivid dream, reliving the day when Ryan was desperately trying to borrow money for Bella White.

Bella was his junior in college, and as her name suggested, she was gentle and beautiful, with exquisite features.

However, she had a gambling-addicted father who had reportedly borrowed a lot of high-interest loans over the years. Unable to repay, he committed suicide, leaving his beautiful daughter to be constantly harassed by debt collectors.

To be fair, Ryan had always been good to me, and everyone knew he loved me dearly.

So when he was borrowing money everywhere for Bella in my dream, saying she was like a sister to him and he couldn't bear to see a girl in such a predicament, I didn't think much of it.

But Bella's father owed over $8 million in total. It wasn't easy to come up with such a sum, especially when the debt collectors were involved in illegal activities. Getting involved could easily cost one's life.

Naturally, I didn't want my soon-to-be-married boyfriend to be entangled in such affairs. So in my dream, I gave Ryan all my savings, with the condition that he would no longer interfere in Bella's matters and focus on preparing for our wedding.

But unexpectedly, Bella overdosed on sleeping pills and committed suicide.

When I heard the news, I felt deeply sorry for her - a young girl in the prime of her life, burdened with such a father.

Ryan only showed a moment of sadness but didn't say much to me.

However, I never imagined that he would kill me for Bella.

Now, looking at the anxious Ryan in front of me, my mind was filled with the words he said to me before I died in my dream.

"I told you Bella and I weren't what you thought! Why, why wouldn't you help her!"

"Isn't your family quite wealthy? You rich people will never understand this kind of desperation. Amelia Young, how can you be so selfish and cold-hearted!"

"You could watch her die, and still expect me to marry a viper like you!"

"You rich people are all the same, not a single good person among you!"

Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly. My family had an annual income in the millions, and I was their only child. So my parents didn't approve of Ryan, who came from a rural background.

They hoped I would marry someone of equal social status, but they couldn't resist my genuine fondness for Ryan. They could only cut off my financial support, hoping to force me to compromise.

Yet Ryan harbored such malice towards me because I didn't ask my family for money to save his dear junior.

Over $8 million - did he expect me to sell everything I owned to fulfill his wishes with his sweetheart?
