Chapter 1

I was born with a natural baby-doll voice. Because of it, people always treated me like a freak, whispering behind my back.

At our college graduation afterparty, I gathered my courage and handed a custom-made anime figurine—one I had crafted with my own hands—to my long-time crush, Ethan Vance.

But before he could take it, his childhood sweetheart, Scarlett Thorne, smirked and knocked the gift right out of my hands.

Ethan, however, bent down and picked it up. He gently brushed the dust off the figurine, and then, to my shock, dropped to one knee.

"It’s adorable. I love it," he said, his voice incredibly soft. "Chloe, will you be my girlfriend?"

We fell head over heels in love. Ethan became completely obsessed with hearing me whisper sweet details into his ear in my signature anime-girl voice.

To please him, I recorded private, sweet voice notes for him every single day, catering to his every little whim.

On our anniversary, he took me to a private VIP lounge at an upscale club to celebrate his birthday.

But inside the crowded lounge, in front of all his rich friends, he opened a folder on his phone. It was a compilation of the private, intimate voice notes I had recorded just for him.

Ethan wrapped his arm around a smiling Scarlett, looking at me with eyes as cold as ice.

"Listen up, everyone," Ethan announced. "This is how Chloe Miller seduces men in private. Tonight, these voice notes go to the highest bidder."
