00:02my fiance's girl best friend stole my student id burned through my dining dollars all over campus
00:07then called me a gold trigger in the locker room so i logged into the portal and shut her card
00:12off
00:12that same afternoon she walked up to the register and got declined three times in front of the whole
00:19lunch rush she was dragged to the student affairs deems office for an entire hour for theft
00:25then came the all-school notice dominic ashford my fiance found out and said absolutely knocked it
00:31like it was just another tuesday then on my 22nd birthday dominic took me to oak hall westbrook's
00:36most exclusive restaurant and said he'd planned a surprise the table was already set when we arrived
00:41with everything i liked every dish he said he had something special to grab be right back
00:48i waited until the dining room closed
00:53he never came back i pulled out my card to cover the bill the cashier scanned it paused and slid
01:00it
01:00back across the counter i'm sorry miss sinclair your card is showing as invalid in the system
01:06invalid i stared at the card in my hand my fingers went cold this was the card dominic had given
01:12me
01:12right before we left after we got engaged he'd added me to the ashford family meal plan every purchase on
01:21campus charge to the family account billed directly to them but tonight right before we walked out the
01:28door he'd reached into my bag and taken the card he'd said kissing my forehead this one's on me
01:36it's your 22nd dominic wasn't picking up 12 calls 12 voicemails left the cashier drummed her fingers
01:44on the card reader miss sinclair do you have another form of payment we don't do tabs here and i'm
01:50sure
01:50you remember last month's incident i remembered last month dominic's childhood best friend bianca harlow
01:57took my dining dollars and treated her entire pie beta chapper to a two thousand dollar dinner then went
02:02and ran her mouth in the girl's locker room i was a clout haser with a pretty face dominic's gonna
02:06drop her the second he's bored so i logged into the portal and killed her access the next day she
02:11stepped up to the register and got declined once twice three times the line behind her stretched to
02:18the door her face went beet red in front of her sisters she never forgave me for that now i
02:24stood there
02:24phone in a death grip and my knuckles turned white then the doors swung open bianca
02:32walked in tucked under dominic's arm chin up blue eyes absolutely glowing with satisfaction behind
02:39them 14 maybe 15 people the entire inner circle of westbrook college phi kippa's executive board
02:48pi beta's social chars every single one of them was already staring dominic let go of bianca's arm and
02:55walked toward me the light caught his pale blonde hair he looked every bit the ashverned air which
02:59honestly wasn't far off the ashverns were east coast old money the oldest kind and dominic was
03:03their only son president of phi kappa the guy westbrook was basically built around and right
03:06now he was looking at me in a way i had never seen before elena he said low measured loud
03:12enough for
03:13every table and oh call to hear you get a real kick out of sabotaging people on the low huh
03:17freezing
03:17someone's card making them stand at a register and choke in front of everyone so now you know how it
03:22feels the room cracked open wait is he serious it's her birthday they've been together three
03:27years why would he three years doesn't mean anything bianca's known him since they were kids
03:31and elena she transferred from the west coast nobody can even find her people she's here on
03:36a scholarship right like a full ride that's what you get for clout chasing when domic's done with
03:40her she won't even have a seat at the table i dug my nails into my palm exactly what i
03:45thought
03:46he'd set this whole thing up on my birthday just to get back at me for bianca dominic walked bianca
03:52to the table and guanga pulled out her chair like i wasn't even in the room bianca his voice was
03:58quiet but the whole room heard it whatever she did to you i'm returning it every bit of it bianca's
04:02face broke open she leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth thank you dom then she looked
04:07at me getting the picture now elena that account belongs to the ashford family you're not family yet
04:10what gave you the right to touch my access in the first place she dropped her bag onto the table
04:14then shoved it hard my water glass tipped liquid spilled across my shoes seeping through the fabric
04:20she said covering her mouth oops slipped sorry about that though those shoes weren't worth much
04:25anyway right scattered laughter from behind her dominic didn't look at the spill didn't look at
04:30me he just slipped his arm around bianca's waist and looked straight at the cashier whatever bianca
04:34orders tonight put it on the ashford account then he looked at me that smirk wide open not even
04:39trying to hide it as for her if she can't pay go buy the book i stood there
04:44the room shrank inch by inch dominic stood up he wanted to make sure i had nowhere left to go
04:50he swept the room with one slow deliberate look then pulled out his phone typed something and held
04:55the screen up for everyone to see the phi kappa group chat anyone who helps elena sinclair tonight
05:00is out all event access gone everyone in that room knew exactly what that meant cross dominic ashvin
05:07and you were done no party invites no frat events no senior gala full stop a few people who actually
05:15knew me i watched something flicker across their faces one girl actually reached into her bag bianna
05:20caught it she stared that girl down hard the hand slipped back out empty i looked at dominic
05:25three years of feelings gone just like that dominic ashworth you really want to do this he held my
05:32gaze without blinking when you froze her card and humiliated her in front of everyone what did you
05:38think was going to happen this is your lesson remember it she's mine engaged or not you don't get to
05:45come
05:45after her she's mine those two words hit like a knife straight in three years ago i just transferred
05:54to westbrook bumped straight into him on the steps outside the student union building full collision
05:58books everywhere he spent the whole next semester on my case every morning he'd be waiting outside my
06:03dorm with an oat milk latte from the campus cafe my exact order every time on rainy days he'd pull
06:09off
06:09his own hoodie and drop it over my head then sprint across the entire football field in just a t
06:14-shirt
06:14when a group of paibata upperclasseds cornered me in the library hallway i don't even know how he
06:20found out but he showed up walked straight through all of them and put himself between me and the girl
06:25running her mouth looked her dead in the eye and said she's with me i was gone after that not
06:31because
06:31of his last name because i actually believed him and now he just used those same words for her so
06:37what's it gonna be bianca's voice pulled me back she leaned back legs crossed you gonna call someone
06:43to bail you out or she let it hang eyes dragging slowly over my dress i felt myself shrink nice
06:51piece couture right maybe the boys can auction it off right here piece by piece to cover your tab
07:00the room lost it dominic really said this is for bianca and meant it elena is cooked
07:05i told y'all cinderella stories don't exist in real life the ashvins were never going to bring home a
07:10girl with no pedigree bianca's always been their people the higher they build you up the harder
07:14you fall sis that's just how it goes the phi kepper core the ones clustered around dominic
07:20were watching me with that specific look a few of them already had their phones out
07:25my whole body was shaking before we'd left dominic had taken my dining dollars on purpose
07:34right now i had nothing but the dress on my back and my phone had just died battery gone
07:42that's when it hit me my phone my card the reservation the timing none of it was an accident
07:49and degurd the sotrend he didn't forget my birthday he planned it bianca moved toward me smiling like
07:58she'd already won it's getting late elena the cashier's waiting to close out your tab
08:03don't tell me you're actually broke because a tab this size if you can't cover it this goes
08:10straight to the student conduct committee i felt it in my stomach the student conduct committee at
08:15westbrook college the one line nobody crossed one formal strike and i could lose my scholarship
08:20lose my housing get pulled from the honors track or get kicked out for good
08:25dominic didn't just want to humiliate me he wanted to erase me
08:32bianca took another step forward close enough that i could smell her perfume
08:36she tilted her chin up and looked at me like i was already done there is one other option
08:40that smile ale never moved say please mean it maybe i'll make this easier for you
08:46she reached out and poked my shoulder dom listens to me always has i reached up and blocked her hand
08:55just that bianca reacted like she'd been hit by a truck grabbed her cheek and screamed
09:02she hit me i watched dominic's eyes shift no that's not what he grabbed my shoulder and shoved
09:11hard i went down backward caught the corner of the table on the way the pain shot straight up my
09:18spine
09:19the edge caught my arm sharp clean and i felt the warmth before i saw the blood i hit the
09:26floor and looked
09:27up furious for just a second something moved across dominic's face then it was gone elena you hit her in
09:36front
09:36of everyone that doesn't just go away bianca gets that back he jutted his chin at two fi cup members
09:42standing nearby both of them built like they belonged on the offensive line they grabbed my arms
09:49one on each side and hauled me off the floor bianca walked toward me slowly my heart murmured
09:57not from fear from disbelief the ashfords hadn't always been east coast royalty dominic hadn't always
10:05been untouchable because of me i was the one who'd convinced my dad to use our family's connections
10:10to open every door for them rivals who would have gone after the ashfords backed off because nobody
10:16stepped to my dad i'd planned to tell dominic tonight on my birthday tell him i wasn't some scholarship
10:21girl from the west coast with no pedigree i was a saint claire the sole heir to a west coast
10:26dynasty
10:26that made the ashterns look like new money i was going to take him home to meet my family i
10:31just
10:31didn't see this coming i'd read him wrong bianca turned to the table and picked up a heavy plate
10:36of lobster marinara the exact dish dominic had ordered for me she stepped right into my space
10:41raised the plate and didn't hesitate splash a wet thickening sound echoed across the dining room
10:47she had flipped the entire plate directly over my head scalding pasta hit my crown thick red sauce
10:52slid down my hair and cling to my cheeks the empty plate slipped from her hand hitting the hardwood
10:57floor with a sharp crack and shattering at my feet rich tomato sauce dripped from my eyelashes
11:02bleeding rapidly into the pale fabric of my couture dress i didn't flinch i didn't even lift a hand to
11:08wipe my face i just dug my nails into my palm and looked straight through the mess at dominic
11:13no anger no tears dominic this is on you when the ashfords go under and everything you've built
11:21comes crashing down remember you chose this
11:30girl you've been watching too many dramas look at you
11:35first out laughing look at you what you think you're some secret rich heiress she might actually
11:40be losing it like dominic looked at me like i was wasting his time cold checked out drop the act
11:49the ashfords going bankrupt that's cute figure out how you're covering this bill
11:56miss sinclair it's late i got places to be i looked around the room every person who'd sat
12:01next to me in class studied with me in the library heads down all of them one girl someone i
12:06actually

12:17entire greek council and outside city hall the banks every law firm that mattered cross dominic
12:23ashford and you'd cross the entire east coast old money network i walked toward that girl she saw me

13:16then she held out her phone
13:21i dialed the number i knew by heart but had never once called every second felt longer than the last

15:37the
15:37board sheriff here dominic and bianca shot to their feet completely thrown bianca actually rubbed her

21:32plays it before nathan even finished speaking hurried footsteps echoed outside then the doors flew
21:38open again edward ashford stumbled in shirt untucked tie loose with several stone-faced family aides
21:45behind him his eyes swept the room the mess on the floor the cut on my arm one look at
21:51dominic
21:52and edward looked like he could have killed him right there edward's shoulder slumped the arrogant
21:58billionaire practically shrunk in front of me his hands shaking slightly as he stepped forward

23:08dominic please if my dad finds out about this i'm dead i am so dead dominic looked down at her
23:17something moved across his face complicated distant with his entire inheritance on the line
23:23whatever this was didn't matter anymore bianca you ruined me
23:29she completely fell apart edward turned back to me he helped dominic up carefully and pushed him
23:35toward me miss st clair my son knows he was wrong he let bianca manipulate him you're above this
23:40please give him one more chance whatever it takes name it he will spend the rest of his miserable life

24:09spoke the whole room heard every word not the slap not any of it it was when they had me

24:24beside me i turned unhurring i'm not interested in the ashford future anymore and us we're done bianca
24:32stood in the middle of the room like someone had cut her strings then the doors opened again
24:38the air changed he walked in wearing a dark green varsity jacket with the saint paul's crest stitched
24:45over the chest half a head taller than dominic broader jawline like something out of a renaissance
24:53painting he didn't look at dominic he walked straight to me glanced down at my wrist and frowned
25:01you're bleeding he pulled a perfectly folded white handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it gently
25:08against my wrist then only then he turned and seemed to notice dominic for the first time
25:17ah you must be ashford he extended his hand but not to shake he just casually straightened his cufflinks
25:26sebastian sterling elena and i grew up together she transferred here the corner of his mouth lifted
25:33to get away from me like it was an inside joke looks like she trusted the wrong family dominic's lips
25:41were trembling sterling you're a sterling he finally looked at dominic directly no i'm the one who's
25:48going to pull every sterling capital asset from your father's next board vote he turned and his
