Chapter 4
Ama was learning fast and the crowd always wanted more. Last week, it was rain dancing, then roasting her boss. Now? It wasn't enough. Her streams were pulling ten, fifteen thousand viewers. Donations exploded. But every comment, every message kept chanting the same thing, "We want wild. We want risk. We want blood or love." Ama sat on her bed scrolling through the feed, heart racing. Rent was due. Mom's meds were overdue. Her brother was skipping meals just so Ama could send money. The chat lit up with one dare, flashing again and again: "Kiss a stranger in public. $1,000." "Do it and we'll double it." "Hook-up challenge. No guts, no cash." Ama froze. Her stomach twisted. Kiss a stranger? On camera? It felt insane. But the money, the money was impossible to ignore. She picked a busy Friday night, downtown. Clubs spilling light onto the streets, music thumping through the pavement. Ama dressed sharply, tight red dress, glossy lips, and hair curled. If she was going to crash her dignity, she'd do it looking expensive. Phone in hand, stream rolling, comments flying: "DO IT DO IT" "Damn girl, you're glowing " "Stop stalling, pick somebody!" Her throat went dry. She scanned the crowd. Then he walked in. Tall, sharp jaw, Cocky smirk like the world already owed him something. His shirt was unbuttoned just enough to show muscle, his chain catching the streetlight. He wasn't just hot, he looked like he knew it. Ama's chat went feral: "HIM. HIM. HIM." "Pick the fine one!" He noticed her pointing the phone at him. Instead of dodging, he leaned into it, grin spreading. "You streaming me?" he asked, voice smooth as smoke. Ama swallowed. "Yeah. Want to make me rich?" His laugh was dangerous. "Depends. What's the game?" She stepped closer, heart hammering. "Kiss me. Right now." The chat exploded. "YOOOOO" "$500 just dropped!!" "DO IT DO IT DO IT." For a beat, the world froze. The crowd outside the club noticed them, bodies pivoting toward the moment like moths to flame. Then Dante smirked wider, leaned down, and kissed her. Not a peck. Not a joke. A real kiss. Deep. Confident. Consuming. His mouth stole her breath, his hand brushing the side of her jaw like they weren't strangers at all. It was practiced, dangerous, intimate the kind of kiss that left witnesses dizzy, let alone the girl beneath it. Gasps and whistles exploded around them. Cars honked as they slowed to watch. Phones lifted to record from every angle. Ama's phone buzzed in her hand, tips rolling in so fast the screen blurred. She pulled away, dizzy, chest heaving, lips tingling. Her brain screamed at her to stay composed, but the grin that spread across her face was real, reckless, fueled by adrenaline. The chat was fire incarnate: "LEGENDARY." "She's gone viral again!!" "We need more of him. Who IS he???" Ama turned to the camera, trying to reclaim control, but Dante leaned in first. He winked, first at her, then at the thousands watching live. "Name's Dante. Guess you just leveled up, sweetheart." The crowd roared. By morning, Ama wasn't just trending. She was everywhere, Ama was in every word and every lip. Clips of the kiss flooded TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Headlines screamed: "Cash For Fun Queen Locks Lips With Mystery Man." "Ama + Dante = Viral Chaos." "Who Is the Stranger Who Stole the Queen's Kiss?" Her follower count tripled overnight. Brands slid into her inbox. Fans created compilations of "Ama + Dante moments," zooming in on the kiss frame by frame. But the most dangerous message came not from fans or sponsors, but from the app itself. PRIVATE MESSAGE: "The chemistry is gold. Keep it going. We'll boost your page if you two play along." Ama read it three times, her pulse quickening. Boost her page? That meant more followers, more sponsors, more guaranteed donations. It meant real money, steady money. It also meant Dante. Her phone buzzed again. This time, a text from an unknown number. Just five words: "You and me. Good for business. Let's run it up." Ama's chest tightened. Dante hadn't asked. He hadn't suggested. He had claimed, that their kiss already bound them together. She should've felt scared, used, violated even. But instead, as she lay in bed with her phone glowing against the dark, Ama smiled. A sharp, dangerous smile that tasted like power. Because Dante was right, she thought. Together, they could set the app on fire. And Ama had already learned the first rule of Cash For Fun which was ; Once the crowd smelled blood, you had to keep them.

The cool metal of the gurney is the last thing I'll remember. One more session, the doctor said, and the past ten years of my life will be wiped clean.
It all comes back to that night. I walked in to find my fiancé, Alex, kissing my half-sister, Kalie-the girl I raised since she was fifteen.
When I confronted them, Kalie shoved me. I hit my head on a steel model, bleeding on the floor of the studio we designed together. But Alex didn't rush to me. He rushed to comfort her.
She lied, painting me as the attacker. My best friend, my entire world, turned against me. Alex, my Alex, had me committed, signing the papers that subjected me to brutal, punitive electroshock treatments.
He wasn't just erasing my memory; he was erasing me, punishing me for a crime I didn't commit, all to protect her.
Now, waking from the final, consensual treatment, I find a note I left for myself. It's a plan. Sell the firm. Sell the house. Disappear to Montana. And this time, I won't just be erasing the memories. I'll be erasing them.

I woke up suffocating in the dark, only to find my mind trapped inside a tiny, plump, and entirely uncoordinated body.
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my brain, announcing that I was dead in my original world and had transmigrated into a corporate revenge novel as the six-month-old illegitimate daughter of Edward McClure, the story's ruthless villain.
The system mercilessly outlined my doomed fate. Tonight, my cold-blooded father would abandon me to a state orphanage. By age two, he would officially sign my rights away, leaving me to die miserably at the hands of human traffickers. Outside my nursery, I could hear his terrifying footsteps approaching, his voice devoid of any human warmth as he debated throwing me out like garbage. I was completely helpless, trapped in a baby's body, staring up at a man who looked at me with pure, visceral disgust.
Why did I have to be reborn as the tragic cannon fodder of a tyrant destined to put a bullet in his own head? How was I supposed to win over a severe germaphobe when my unequipped infant reflexes made me literally pee and vomit all over his pristine Tom Ford suits?
"Your ultimate mission is to prevent Edward McClure's self-destruction. Step one: Survive tonight's abandonment crisis."
Hearing the system's terrifying ultimatum, I swallowed my adult panic, forced a pool of pitiful tears into my large eyes, and reached my chubby little hands toward the monster.
