📖 Chapter 1 Summary – “The Breakup Plan”
(From the story of Quinn, Liam, and Alex Morgan)
Part 1 – The Return of Alex Morgan
When Alex Morgan returned from studying abroad, everything about her was different.
She had gone away a cheerful young woman — but came back declaring herself “psychologically male.”
She threw out her bras, started using men’s products, and even began sleeping in Liam Reed’s bed as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
What shocked everyone was her casual closeness with Liam — the man who happened to be Quinn Moon’s longtime boyfriend.
Part 2 – Lines Crossed
At first, Quinn tried to stay calm.
She told herself Alex’s behavior was strange but harmless.
But when Alex began borrowing Liam’s razor, joking that they could “grow brother hair together,” and insisting on using men’s restrooms whenever they went out, Quinn’s patience snapped.
It was obvious this had gone too far.
What had once seemed like an awkward friendship now looked like blatant disrespect — for her, for their relationship, and for every boundary that should have existed.
Part 3 – The Confrontation
Unable to take it anymore, Quinn confronted Alex directly.
“What exactly are you trying to do?” she demanded.
Alex just rolled her eyes, completely unfazed.
“Please, girl,” she said mockingly. “I may be biologically female, but I’m psychologically male. Don’t make our brotherhood sound dirty. You’re just one of those insecure women who loves to compete.”
The words stung.
Watching Alex walk confidently into the men’s restroom again, Quinn’s anger boiled over.
Enough was enough — it was time to remind everyone who she really was.
Part 4 – The Call to the Underworld
Quinn stepped outside, took a deep breath, and made a single call — to her father, Richard Moon, a powerful underground boss trying to live a clean life.
“Dad, I need you to send over a dozen of the guys,” she said calmly.
Her father’s worried tone immediately filled the line.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?”
This was the first time Quinn had ever asked for his help like this, and he knew something serious had happened.
After a short pause, she added softly, “Dad, I’m going to break up with Liam.”
That was enough for Richard Moon.
Assuming Liam had disrespected his daughter, he hung up — already sending his men to “handle” the situation.
Part 5 – The Men’s Room Invasion
Moments later, the rumble of motorcycles and heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor.
A dozen men — loyal to Richard Moon — entered the building.
They didn’t ask questions; they simply nodded at Quinn, waiting for her signal.
Two of Liam’s friends stood smoking by the men’s restroom door.
“Hey, wait! There are people inside!” one of them shouted.
But Quinn had already given the order.
Within seconds, the two friends were grabbed, shoved aside, and chaos erupted inside the restroom.
The plan wasn’t to hurt anyone — only to scare them, to make them realize just how serious Quinn was.
Part 6 – The Livestream and the Truth
One of the men set up a live feed to Quinn’s phone so she could see what was happening inside.
She didn’t want to — but she had to know the truth.
On-screen, Alex and Liam were tangled together, far too close for any explanation.
Alex screamed as the men burst in, accidentally elbowing Liam, who yelped in pain.
The whole scene was ridiculous, but also devastating.
Quinn shut off the phone, disgusted.
Even if nothing had technically “happened,” she knew now that the line between friendship and betrayal had long been crossed.
Part 7 – Three Years of Love
As she stood there in silence, memories came flooding back.
Three years of love, laughter, and trust — all reduced to this moment.
She and Liam had been planning their wedding for next year.
He had been her everything — her calm in the chaos, her dream beyond her dangerous lineage.
But now, that dream had burned to ashes.
Worse, Quinn knew she had never told Liam the truth about her background — that she was the daughter of one of the most feared underground leaders in the city.
She had hidden that part of herself to protect him.
Ironically, that silence had led him straight into someone else’s arms.
Part 8 – The Exit Plan
After the chaos ended, the men she’d grown up around came out of the restroom, nodding at her with quiet respect.
No one said a word; they didn’t need to.
They had done their job — sent the message.
As the group left, Quinn stood alone by the door, her hands trembling but her resolve solid.
She wasn’t going to cry.
She wasn’t going to beg.
This was the end of the line, and she would face it head-on.
She waited outside for Liam and Alex, determined to break up in person — once and for all.
Part 9 – Shameless
Half an hour passed before Liam and Alex finally emerged.
To Quinn’s disbelief, they didn’t look scared or embarrassed.
In fact, they looked closer than ever — walking arm in arm, whispering and laughing as if they had just left a romantic dinner instead of a near-brawl.
The sight made Quinn’s stomach turn.
These two really had no shame left.
They had turned her patience into a joke.
But what came next was even worse.
Part 10 – The Final Straw
When Liam saw her standing there, his expression wasn’t guilt or fear — it was irritation.
“Quinn,” he snapped, “are you really that insecure? You had to wait outside the bathroom door for me?”
The words hit harder than any punch.
After everything — after three years together — this was his reaction.
No apology. No explanation. Just blame.
In that moment, Quinn’s heart hardened completely.
Whatever feelings she’d once had for Liam Reed died right there in that hallway.
She straightened her shoulders, her father’s blood and her own pride running strong in her veins.
If he thought she was just some insecure girlfriend, he was about to learn exactly who Quinn Moon really was.
