Liam’s fingers gently slid through Ann’s soft, silky hair as he inhaled its sweet fragrance.
"Your hair slls so good," he murmured, his deep voice laced with warmth.
Ann, who was lying against his chest, let out a content sigh.
"Mmm," she humd, shifting slightly to get more comfortable. Her phone was still in her hands, her thumbs lazily scrolling through the screen.
Liam let his lips brush lightly against the top of her head.
A small, almost involuntary smile ford on Ann’s lips.
She loved this.
The warmth, the security, the gentle way he was holding her—it was rare for Liam to act so tenderly.
His lips pressed against her forehead in a soft peck.
Then another.
Ann giggled. "What’s gotten into you?"
Liam just smirked. "Can’t a man appreciate his girl?"
Ann rolled her eyes but didn’t move. If anything, she nestled into him even more.
A few minutes passed, the two of them wrapped in a comfortable silence.
Then—
"Ann," Liam spoke softly, his breath warm against her temple. "Can I ask you sothing?"
Ann’s eyes flickered with amusent.
Without hesitation, she sat up and spun around, her sharp gaze locking onto him.
And before Liam could even process it—
WHACK.
She smacked his leg.
Liam blinked. "What the hell?"
Ann huffed. "I knew it!"
"Knew what?!" Liam frowned, rubbing his leg.
"You were acting way too sweet," Ann accused, folding her arms. "You must want sothing."
Liam let out a dramatic sigh and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back into his embrace.
Ann gasped but didn’t resist.
"I don’t need anything," Liam murmured against her ear, his arms tightening slightly.
Ann squinted. "Mhm, sure."
Liam chuckled, then leaned his head against hers. "I was scrolling through TikTok earlier... and I happened to stumble upon your account."
Ann’s body stiffened slightly.
Her eyes narrowed. "And?"
Liam continued, acting casual.
"I was shocked by the number of followers you have."
Ann raised an eyebrow. "It’s not that many."
"324,000 followers, Ann." Liam scoffed. "That’s insane."
Ann shrugged. "It’s not a big deal."
Liam humd. "Maybe. But then I checked your profile... and saw your school."
Ann’s body relaxed again, but she didn’t say anything.
Liam’s voice dropped to a lower tone. "7,432 students... and each of them paid 500 dollars to join."
Ann simply nodded.
Liam pulled back slightly to look at her face.
"So that ans you’ve made over three million dollars," he said slowly.
Ann rolled her eyes. "Why are you saying it like I was just gifted three million dollars?"
Liam raised a finger.
"Let’s not even get started on the amount of gifts people send you," he smirked. "Let’s just focus on your school."
Ann tilted her head. "And?"
Liam’s lips curled into a teasing grin.
"So... you’re basically an official scamr."
Ann gasped dramatically. "Excuse ?!"
Instead of arguing, she grabbed her phone and opened her gallery.
Liam watched as she scrolled through dozens of pictures.
Then she stopped and showed him the first one.
A before-and-after transformation.
The first image showed a person with acne scars, hyperpigntation, and dull skin.
The second image...
Flawless. Clear. Radiant.
Liam’s smirk faded.
She swiped to another one.
Then another.
And another.
Every single picture told the sa story.
The difference was incredible.
Liam let out a low whistle. "Damn..."
Ann leaned back smugly. "Sotis people know what to do, but they need soone to push them to actually do it."
Liam nodded.
She was right.
There were so many things in life people could do, but they just never took the first step.
And Ann?
She was the one who made them take it.
A true businesswoman.
Liam shook his head with a small chuckle.
Then, after a brief pause—
"What’s the highest amount of gifts you’ve ever received?" he asked.
Ann’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"From a single person?" she clarified.
Liam nodded.
She stretched her arms and answered casually,
"Two million dollars."
Liam froze.
His entire body went rigid.
"Huh?"
Ann looked at him, amused. "Two million dollars."
Liam’s eyes widened. "Wait— you an total?"
"No," Ann giggled. "From a single person. Last week."
Liam stared.
The words hit him like a brick wall.
"$2 million?! From a single person?! LAST WEEK?!"
Ann just gave him a sweet, innocent smile.
Liam felt like throwing up.
What the hell was going on?!
This girl was richer than he thought!
And she didn’t even act like it!
His head was spinning.
anwhile, Ann just leaned back comfortably, watching his reaction with pure satisfaction.
Liam clutched his chest.
He needed a mont.
He really needed a mont.
---
Liam was still trying to process everything.
Two million dollars... from a single person.
Last week.
He took a slow breath before asking, "Who gave you two million dollars?"
Ann casually reached for her phone, unlocking it as if this was just normal daily business.
Liam watched as she scrolled through her TikTok ssages before stopping on a particular chat.
She tilted her screen towards him.
Liam leaned in, his sharp blue eyes scanning the ssages.
And there it was.
A screenshot of a donation.
$2,000,000.
His fingers twitched slightly.
But what caught his attention wasn’t just the insane amount of money—it was the ssage attached to it.
"This is just a small token of appreciation. My sister’s confidence and happiness have returned because of you. Her skin is flawless, her body is in perfect shape, and she smiles every day now. Thank you, Ann. You don’t know how much you’ve changed her life."
Liam raised an eyebrow. "A small token? This man just dropped two million like he’s tipping a waiter."
Ann laughed. "Well... apparently, I helped a princess, and I didn’t even know."
Liam’s eyes flickered towards her. "A... princess?"
Ann nodded. "Yep. The girl I helped? She’s royalty. The guy who sent the money is her older brother."
Liam exhaled and ran a hand through his hair.
"But isn’t two million a bit too much, though?"
Ann shrugged. "Their family possesses billions of dollars. And better yet..."
She paused before grinning mischievously.
"He claid he fell in love with ."
Liam stiffened.
"What?"
Ann tried to hold back a laugh.
"He said that while his sister was watching my videos, he ended up watching too... and he ’fell’ for ."
Liam felt a headache forming.
Why?
Why couldn’t life just be good for a single night?
He had just won $48,000 at the casino.
He was supposed to be happy.
But no.
Turns out his girlfriend was already a millionaire.
And worse—
So multi-billionaire prince had taken an interest in his woman.
Liam pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What kind of life is this..." he muttered under his breath.
