His Personal Fucktoy? This Doll Just Snatched His Strings... And His World Is Unraveling novel Chapter 104

Chapter 7

Compared to him, my life was suddenly lighter.

The moment my best friend saw me, her eyes welled up before she even spoke.

“Jesus, babe, you’re slan and bones! Didn’t you promise you were taking care of yourself?”

Isn’t it funny? I could handle everything alone–cross oceans, swallow pain, build walls–but the second someone looked at me with real concern. I shattered.

I collapsed into her arms, sobbing like the world had ended. She held me tight, rubbing my back in slow circles. “Shhh, you’re not going back. This time you’re staying for good.”

She’d asked me a hundred times to join her startup, always keeping a partner position open. But I’d chosen a man over her, left her to fight solo for years. The guilt burned.

“I’m not leaving.” I whispered “I’m here to work. For real this time.”

She smirked, mischief flashing in her eyes. “Work can wait. First, we’re celebrating your freedom.”

If I’d known her idea of a celebration involved a lineup of male models, I would’ve noped out immediately.

Six ridiculously attractive guys–sculpted jaws, tailored shirts clinging to abs–bowed in unison. “Good evening, miss.”

I sat uncomfortably in the private room while my friend elbowed me, grinning: “Relax. We’re paying, they’re performing. No guilt, no strings.”

She sipped her martini. “Besides, swap out men like batteries–no heartbreak, just fun. After 25, all they’re good for is conversation anyway.”

I expected sleepless nights. Instead? Best rest I’d had in months.

My best friend stuck to me like glue, paranoid I’d spiral. I teased her: “I’m a grown woman, not some heartbroken teen.”

Her reply gutted me. “Listen. Age means nothing. I love you because you’re you. At 20 or 50, that doesn’t change.”

She gripped my hands. “You don’t owe anyone shit–not ‘maturity,‘ not silence. We’re all faking adulthood. Why should you suffer just because you’re older?”

I felt grounded with my friend, while Ryan was frantically searching for me.
