Chapter 2

Their lives went on this way until Linda came between them.

Ironically, Chloe herself had nudged Lucas towards Linda. Linda was their high school classmate. She came from a modest background and was naturally timid, but her grades were excellent. As the only scholarship student at their prestigious school, Linda was like a gentle rabbit thrown among wolves and was often bullied by privileged kids.

Chloe had always stood up for her, even getting into fights to protect her. They became best friends and later ended up at the same university. Being Chloe's high school "bestie," Linda also got to know Lucas well. But back then, there were no sparks between them.

During their sophomore year summer, Chloe and Lucas signed up for a university-organized camp. Just before the trip, Chloe sprained her ankle and gave her spot to Linda. Lucas didn't want to go without Chloe, but she insisted he go, worried that Linda would be bullied without her presence. So, Lucas went to look after Linda. And that led to something more.

That summer, Chloe faced the toughest time of her life. Her half-sister Lisa had returned to the family. At Chloe's lowest point, Lucas broke up with her, saying he wanted to be with Linda. Chloe couldn't handle the back-to-back blows. She tried to end her life but survived, leading to unexpected turns.
