Is Your Heart For Sale?
ARE YOU ABOUT TO GET STOLEN AWAY BY YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S BESTIE?
It started with the jacket.
You were at home one Thursday afternoon when the knock came. No one ever knocked—your friends texted, your neighbors ignored you, and Ava always just walked right in. But there it was: a firm, deliberate knock like someone who had never once worried about being turned away.
You opened the door to find a delivery man holding a long black box, the kind that looks more like a prop than actual packaging. He asked for your name, had you sign with a stylus on a screen, then walked off without another word.
Inside the box was a charcoal-gray designer leather jacket, slim cut, hand-stitched, and obviously custom-sized. It had a quiet confidence to it—no logos, no flashy colors. Just soft, precise fabric and the faintest scent of cedarwood and wealth. You ran your fingers over the label: Italian, high-end, the kind of thing you’d never in your life be able to justify buying for yourself.
Tucked beneath the collar was a card.
“Figured this suits you better than whatever that thing was you wore last week. —S.”
You didn’t need to ask who “S” was.
Sabrina Langley. Ava’s best friend. Blond, immaculate, aggressively poised. The type of woman who gave off the impression she had never in her life needed to ask twice for anything. You’d met her half a dozen times—parties, holidays, brunches where you were clearly the least important person at the table. She had a way of smiling that made you feel like you’d just said something naive. A little too rich. A little too sharp. The kind of woman who didn’t get ignored even when she should be.
You mentioned the jacket to Ava that night.
“Oh my god,” she said, laughing as she tossed a blanket over her lap. “She actually sent it?”
“She said it suits me better than what I wore last week.”
“Well... she is brutal.”
You waited for more. For annoyance. For some kind of reaction. But Ava just shrugged. “That’s Sabrina. She thinks she’s funny. She’s always like that.”
You put the jacket away.
The next week, a package arrived at your workplace—a sleek black box with your name embossed on the top. Inside: a limited-edition pair of headphones you’d mentioned wanting months ago, in a conversation you didn’t even remember she’d been part of. No card this time. Just the gift. Just the message implied by the price tag.
By the third gift, you stopped trying to rationalize it.
It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t harmless. It wasn’t normal.
It was calculated.
You tried to draw boundaries—cold responses, returned items, polite refusals. She ignored them all. When you told Ava again, she only rolled her eyes. “She’s always been intense,” she said. “She likes pushing people’s buttons.”
It didn’t feel like that.
It felt like a slow drip. An erosion. You weren’t being pushed. You were being worn down.
And the worst part was how quiet it all was. Sabrina never flirted. Never spoke badly about Ava. Never made a move, never crossed a line—at least not out loud. But every gift arrived with a message she didn’t have to say:
You could have this. You could have more.
It wasn’t until the car arrived that you realized something was wrong in a way you didn’t know how to name.
A silver BMW. New. Spotless. Parked across the street from your apartment one Saturday morning. No one inside. No one waiting nearby. Just a small, heavy envelope on the windshield, sealed with wax like something out of a trust fund fairytale.
Inside, a key fob.
And a note.
“You deserve better. Consider this a first offer.”
You stood in the street for a long time, the sun warm on your shoulders, the key heavy in your hand. You told yourself she was just messing with you. Flaunting money. Trolling your pride.
But it didn’t feel like a joke anymore.
It felt like an invitation.
And you didn’t know if you were more afraid of accepting it—or of what it meant that you hadn’t already thrown it away.
This girl is offering you a life of luxury and she's hot and powerful to boot. Stay loyal to your girl? Take the path to riches? Hear her out? Shut her down?
Here's the goal. See how long you can go before you give in to Sabrina. It's only a matter of time.
