My Three Roommates Used My Photos to Catfish Three Elite Alphas Novel – chapter 1 The moment I decided to accept a wealthy middle-aged businessman’s offer of money in exchange for my companionship, rows of text that only I could see suddenly appeared before my eyes. [This doomed supporting female character is unbelievably stupid. Her three roommates stole her photos and used them to date three rich and powerful Alphas online. Meanwhile, she’s the only one being driven into a corner, left with no choice but to accept a disgusting middle-aged man.] [Later, that man infects her with a serious disease. She loses all hope and jumps from the roof of her apartment building.] [Sophia, the heroine, is much smarter. Afraid Erin would find out, she not only used Erin’s photos herself but also dragged the other two roommates into it.] [The most ironic part is that the three men have been friends since childhood, yet each of them keeps his relationship a secret from the other two.
If they’d compared their chats even once, the entire scam would’ve fallen apart ages ago.] [But all three men eventually fall in love with Sophia. That proves they never truly loved Erin’s appearance. They loved Sophia herself.] I stood inside our on-campus apartment at the University of Washington in Seattle while my three roommates showed off the designer bags and jewelry their online boyfriends had sent them. My roommate, Vanessa Miller, suddenly called out to me and aimed her phone at my face. “Erin, smile for the camera.” I turned around and gave the camera a sweet smile unlike any I had ever shown them before. My wolf stirred faintly. Since they had used my face to attract three wealthy, powerful Alphas, it was only fair that I should be the one who ended up with them, wasn’t it? … [Vanessa has already sent the photo to Ethan Walker. He loved it and transferred another fifty thousand dollars to her so she could buy the latest iPhone.] [Ethan isn’t just the heir to the Cascade Pack.
His maternal grandfather is also a member of the Northwest Pack Council. Fifty thousand dollars means nothing to him. Besides, everything he has will eventually belong to Sophia, the heroine.] I looked down at my old phone, its screen webbed with cracks. Fifty thousand dollars for a single photo. I hated to admit it, but I was jealous. Vanessa should have been thrilled after receiving that much money, but the moment she read the next message, she cried out in alarm. Claire and Sophia immediately crowded around her. Vanessa glanced at me, then shot Claire a meaningful look. Claire, who was standing closest to me, cleared her throat. “Erin, aren’t you going to get something to eat? Could you bring me back a salad?” Ever since they started dating men online, they had turned up their noses at the campus dining hall and ordered nothing but delivery from upscale restaurants downtown. If campus housing rules hadn’t required them to stay here, they probably would’ve moved out long ago.
Claire was obviously making up an excuse to get rid of me. I showed no suspicion. I slipped a paper cup into my sleeve, agreed to get her salad, and walked out. The moment the door closed behind me, I pressed the cup to the door and put my ear to the open end. Vanessa’s voice was thick with panic. “What am I supposed to do? ‘Northern Gray Wolf’ is asking to meet again.” “This is the third time. If I turn him down again, Ethan’s definitely going to get suspicious.” Over the past year, Vanessa had gotten more than a dozen designer bags from Ethan, along with countless other gifts. For her birthday, he had even sent her a diamond necklace worth several hundred thousand dollars. After getting used to that kind of life, there was no way she was willing to lose it all. Sophia, however, remained perfectly calm. “Just agree to meet him. When the day comes, tell him one of your roommates had an accident and you couldn’t leave her. Claire and I will back you up.” Vanessa sounded as though she’d finally been thrown a lifeline.
She thanked Sophia again and again. The three of them quickly fell silent, but the comments floating before my eyes grew even more animated. [Sophia really is the best problem-solver out of the three.] [The other two should let Sophia call the shots. Without her, they would never be living this kind of life.] [Good thing all three male leads will fall in love with Sophia in the end. Those two roommates may be enjoying the benefits now, but eventually, they’ll lose everything they took from her.] By then, I was certain Sophia was the heroine the comments kept talking about, and the revolting middle-aged businessman whose offer I had nearly accepted was the very man she had introduced to me.
