All Chapters of I Cashed Out Before He Regretted It: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In all his life, Alfie Lawson had never met a woman like Wendy Brown, soft and sweet, yet without ever losing her backbone.She had worked her way through school to attend this prestigious academy in Vespera. No matter how powerful or wealthy the young men around her were, she never once bowed her head to them.For Alfie, that kind of stubborn resilience was devastatingly attractive.I thought about going after him myself and making him fall for me instead, but he had met too many society young ladies to be impressed by another one.There simply was no substitute for Wendy's particular brand of sweet-but-strong.I was broke too, but unlike Wendy, I had absolutely no resistance to money. Apparently, that was another thing he didn't like.As Alfie's study companion, I had a pretty sweet job. But with him an ocean away from his mother and now suffering from selective mutism, I could see my high-paying position slipping through my fingers.So, I took the initiative and befriended We

I turned to Wendy. "Oh, I'm aware."Wendy stomped her foot."Aren't you looking for a job? Want me to put in a good word for you? Great pay, low effort, three days off a week, and extra benefits!""No, thank you!" She shot me a look of pure frustration. "I'm not like you, a woman who's willing to sell her dignity! I'll pave my own way!"With that, she left me standing there.I touched my face. Where else was I supposed to find a job where I got to sleep with a tall, handsome man with a model's body while making 100,000 dollars a month?Of course, I wanted to make money with dignity, but not everyone had that luxury.Wendy could call me a status whore for all she wanted, but at least I never had to worry about my next meal.If Alfie ever got tired of me, at least I would have enough money to stay full for the rest of my life. In a way, I was pretty damn impressive for what I had achieved so far!What I never expected was for Alfie to keep me around all the way to the altar. Whe

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

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

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.
