I Cashed Out Before He Regretted It Chapter 10
As much as he hadn't let go, Alfie swore to use the most hurtful methods possible to win me back, to prove what he felt. Just why hadn't he seen me for who I was sooner?If he had, then on the day I called off our engagement, he would've married me without a second thought. He would've brought me home and never let me leave again.Alfie stopped himself.No. He shouldn't have gotten involved with Wendy in the first place, not while I was still his fiancee.Alas, it was all too late.…The truth was, I got the insider information about the land in Easthound from my fiance—or ex-fiance—Cameron Grant.We broke off our engagement because of Alfie. I tried to compensate the Grants with a large sum of money afterward, but they returned it.I figured they were angry. After all, I was in the wrong.After my company went public, I spent a fortune at an auction house to buy an original work by a renowned painter as an apology.The Grant couple didn't really blame me. The marriage had be

My words echoed in Alfie's mind, "Your desire to conquer is stronger than whatever feelings we had for each other."His grip on the steering wheel tightened. He had never truly considered that possibility before.Was he unable to let go of me because he still loved me, or was it because he couldn't stand losing? Had his need to win become so deeply ingrained that he couldn't tell it apart from love?Alfie pulled into the driveway and stopped outside the house. Then, he slumped over the steering wheel, his breathing unsteady.Maybe he really did love me. At the same time, he had assumed money was the only thing tying us together. As long as he had money to give me, I would always stay by his side.When he had gotten engaged to Wendy, had he truly let me go?No. How could he have?In Alfie's eyes, I had always been shameless and insignificant—so shameless that even if he got married, as long as he gave me enough money, I would throw myself at him and happily become his mistress.

I smiled. What did Alfie's selective mutism have to do with "not thinking things through"? I surmised Mrs. Lawson was worried I would retaliate against him for dumping me."Mrs. Lawson, I'm here to pay you back."She froze.Alfie, sitting nearby, looked up too. I met his eyes. "I'm here to return everything Mr. Lawson gave me during our relationship."I pulled out a ledger. Starting a decade ago, I had recorded every gift Alfie had given me after kissing me, along with what each item would be worth today after accounting for inflation.The ledger had started as a love diary written by a young woman. But as the years went by, the entries became more clinical.There were no longer deions of how excited or happy I had been when I received something. Instead, there were only cold, precise records of the date, item, quantity, market value, and inflation-adjusted value.The final entry was the piece of land he had approved for me. The money Mrs. Lawson had paid me didn't count. Th

In the end, Alfie realized I truly was just a shallow, money-hungry woman. I would listen to him so long as he gave me money. The thought that the other man stood no chance against him made him lose all interest.That was enough for him to let it go. So, how could he ever want to marry someone like me?Wendy, on the other hand, was much smarter. Whenever she wanted money, she would hold her head high and refuse it with all the stubbornness she could muster.Either way, Alfie would always give his partner money. All she had to do was live in the huge villa he had given her and stubbornly insist that she wasn't some kept woman.Naturally, he would think she had somehow managed to remain pure and untouched by all that wealth. All the jewelry and luxury gifts were things he had forced on her. They had nothing to do with her.Even parachuting Wendy into a management position at my company had been Alfie's way of spoiling his partner. It definitely wasn't something she had ever asked fo

Since then, I kept my mouth shut at work.My boss was leaving, and I wanted a shot at her position. I didn't want Alfie to say one word and have the job handed to me again, so I stayed up for three nights preparing my promotion proposal.Then, out of nowhere, a message came down from headquarters.A new female executive had been transferred from the Vesperian branch and parachuted into our department as our new boss. That person was none other than Wendy.I had been naive.There was a difference between the way Alfie truly valued someone and the little favors he tossed to others. I was the latter, while Wendy was the former.He could get me drinks, plush toys, and concert tickets, but when it came to handing me real power, I suddenly became undeserving.I was just his companion-turned-glorified-maid, after all. How could I ever really be given the title of the boss?I tore up my proposal and handed in my resignation. It wasn't just because I didn't want to work under Wendy. It

Alfie gripped the box of condoms. "You think this is funny?"I scratched my head. "What?""There's a limit to how jealous you can get," he said fluently. "I only brought her here because I needed her help. Don't let your dirty mind turn everything dirty!"He threw both the box of condoms and me out together. With a bang, the door slammed shut in my face, sending a gust of wind through my hair.The young man I had spent ten years trying to get to speak could now talk without a single stammer.Good for him. I supposed the person who tied the knot had to be the one to untie it.Mrs. Lawson kept sending me message after message, urging me to go back to our home country. I packed up every penny I had made over the past ten years and left.The only thing I left behind was the engagement ring, sitting alone on top of the Black card Alfie had given me.I was only taking what I had earned through my own work. As for gifts from a man, I wasn't taking those with me.…I had made quite a
