Prologue: Alex and Jena Past
Jena Brook, a solitary individual, endured a period of torment during her high school years. The hardships she faced led her to contemplate jumping from the rooftop. However, before she could take that drastic step, she noticed a man standing behind the fence. To her surprise, it was the very person who had been the main instigator of her misery and the one responsible for bullying her.
He approached her, offering an apology and promising to cease his bullying behavior. Naively, Jena believed his words and placed her trust in him. True to his promise, he stopped tormenting her and even defended her against those who sought to bully her. Jena's life gradually became peaceful, and she eventually forgave him for the pain he had caused.
As days turned into weeks and months, their bond grew stronger. They started as friends and eventually became best friends. They were inseparable at school, sharing meals and snacks together, confiding in each other, and discussing their aspirations for the future.
Jena willingly took on the role of assisting him with assignments, projects, and even preparing lunch for him every day. She did so out of gratitude and, unbeknownst to him, because she had developed romantic feelings for him. She loved him deeply, and he became her first love.
Determined to confess her feelings, Jena chose their high school night as the opportune moment. However, when she expressed her love, he responded with a shocking revelation. He informed her that he only dated those who were willing to engage in s****l activities with him. Taken aback by his words, Jena, driven by her love for him, agreed without hesitation. She was willing to give her body and soul to him, believing it would bring her the utmost happiness.
Before their graduation, she slept with him, as he had requested after her confession. Jena spent a month studying about s****l pleasure, wanting to make the experience unforgettable for him. Following their intimate encounter, he accepted her confession, marking the beginning of their relationship as a couple.
The next day was their graduation day. He was given the opportunity to deliver a speech as the first honor of their batch. Jena had sacrificed her own academic standing to support him, but she didn't mind. Watching him on stage was a reward in itself.
