Chapter 1Mistaken Online Love

The heir to the Manhattan elite added both me and my roommate on Snapchat.

He was incredibly warm to me.

Yet to Cathy, the gorgeous campus queen, he was ice cold.

She looked annoyed. "I thought Dominic was here for me. Can't believe he is chasing you."

I was over the moon. We dated online for two whole months.

But the day we finally met in person, his brows pulled together in a tight frown.

"Why is it you?"

Dominic Lancaster had the wrong girl.

All the affection, the late night calls, and the sweet texts meant for Cathy Shawn he had mistakenly given to me.

Instead, he had accidentally ghosted the girl he actually wanted.

A soft breeze drifted past. He leaned against his sleek Aston Martin, pinching the bridge of his nose in sheer frustration. He shot me a helpless, almost pitying look.

"You should head back. I will text you tonight."

I forced back the tears burning in my eyes.

"Okay."

But I was not stupid. Some things were just too cruel to say to a girl's face.

My dorm was empty when I got back. I crawled into bed and fell into a heavy, suffocating sleep.

Loud voices woke me up.

Cathy stood in the center of the room, clutching a massive bouquet of deep red roses.

Our other two roommates were practically shouting over each other.

"So it was just a mix up! I knew it. There was no way a guy like him would pass you up for Jenny."

Cathy offered a gentle, practiced smile.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

She turned her gaze to me.

"Jenny, I am apologizing on Dominic's behalf. You are not mad, right?"

I sat up, forcing my face into a blank mask.

"No."

She let out a soft laugh. "Makes sense. It was only two months of texting anyway. You probably did not even like him that much."
