Chapter 1Toxic Ambition: My Roommate's Fatal Sugar Daddy

My roommate, Sierra, loved to cam naked in our dorm room.

Late at night, suggestive and provocative noises would constantly drift from her side of the room.

"Daddy, where do you want to look?~"

"Don't be so impatient, babe... my roommate is asleep~"

"You're so bad~ tilt your camera down a little..."

I gently advised her that camming with strangers wasn't safe. If someone took screenshots, the consequences could be disastrous.

Sierra took my advice and stopped doing it.

But then, a girl in the dorm next door hooked a billionaire heir through a sugar baby app.

He even rented a helicopter to drop rose petals over the campus to ask her out. It made waves across the entire university.

Sierra went absolutely psychotic with jealousy. "It's all your fault, you interfering bitch! If you hadn't run your mouth, that billionaire would belong to me right now!"

She heated her curling iron until it was searing hot and shoved it into my body, burning me to death from the inside out.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the exact day she was camming.

* * *

I woke up from a phantom, agonizing pain, my body drenched in a cold sweat.

"Daddy, where do you want to look?~"

The familiar, sickeningly sweet, coquettish voice drifted from the bed opposite mine.

I stiffly turned my head.

Through the crack in her bed curtains, I saw Sierra posing seductively at her phone.

She was wearing heavy makeup. The strap of her black lace camisole deliberately slipped down her shoulder.

She had purposefully tousled her hair to create a messy, provocative look.

My nails dug deeply into my palms.

The pain told me this wasn't a dream.

I was reborn!

I had returned to the day Sierra was streaming naked.

Memories flooded back like a tidal wave.

In my past life, I warned her out of the goodness of my heart. I told her that if the guy screen-recorded it and leaked it, it would ruin her life.

Sierra's face instantly dropped.

She cared about her image more than anything else in the world. School had just started, and she didn't want to become infamous for the wrong reasons.

But giving up the camming meant giving up the digital gifts and cash transfers.

She wasn't going to let that go easily.

She immediately put on a pitiful, victimized expression and faked a few tears.

"Harper, I don't want to do this either, but my parents completely cut off my allowance..."

My bleeding heart took over. I immediately Venmoed her $500 to help her out.

After that, she stopped the naked video chats.

But instead, she started treating me like her personal maid, ordering me around constantly.

If I wasn't taking out her trash, I was making her bed.

The worst part was my skincare products and my clothes.

If she liked something of mine, she would just take it and use it without even asking.

I endured it all in silence.

I thought giving up some material possessions was worth it if it meant Sierra had changed her ways.

After all, my family had plenty of money.

But later, when a girl in the next class managed to snag a trust-fund billionaire through the exact same app...

When the guy rented a helicopter to drop rose petals all over the quad to declare his love...

Sierra went rabid with jealousy. And she took all her resentment out on me.

"It's all your fault, you interfering bitch! If you hadn't run your mouth, that billionaire would belong to me right now!"

She waited until I was asleep, tied me to the bed frame, and gagged me with duct tape.

Then, she took a scorching hot curling iron and shoved it brutally inside me.

The pain tore my soul apart, but the tape muffled my screams.

Sierra's smile was twisted and demonic. "Only a complete idiot like you would believe my parents cut me off! You got played like a fool, you self-righteous saint! You deserve to die!"

It turned out she had been scamming me the entire time!

The blistering metal burned through my flesh.

My vision went black from the sheer agony.

I took my last breath in the most excruciating pain imaginable.

But now, I was back.

I bit down hard on my lower lip, only letting go when I tasted the metallic tang of blood.

In this life, I wouldn't say a single word to stop her.

I was going to let her swallow the bitter fruit of her own actions and fall straight into hell!
