Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Breakup Checks: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Enough. Spare me the nonsense about true love. You're not worthy of my son!" The woman threw a glass of water in my face.Then, she threw a check at me."Take the check and leave my son."She clearly did not want to waste any more time talking to me, so she turned and walked away.She left me with a $200,000 check.This was already the third one!I had no idea what kind of curse I was under.Ever since my first boyfriend, every one of their mothers had tried to break us up with a check.All three were exactly the same. Even their lines had barely differed.That was how I tearfully made $600,000.Some people get rich through housing compensation, others through winning the lottery., others through the lottery. Somehow, I got rich through breakups.Despite my heartbreak, I was relieved that there was finally hope of paying off the $1 million debt my deadbeat father had left behind.My best friend, Jojo, said that if we were going to do something, we might as well go all out.

A chill ran down my spine when I realized someone was trying to unlock my apartment.This couldn't be happening. I had only taken over the lease from a young woman two days ago.It was in a newly built development, so there weren't many neighbors either.I never expected the security to be this poor.The lock kept beeping to indicate that the password was wrong, and the man outside seemed to grow agitated."You think changing the lock will keep you safe? Hahaha. I have plenty of ways to make you open the door."The voice of an unfamiliar man came from outside, vicious and threatening.A moment later, something heavy slammed against the door.I trembled and quickly called the police from my phone before dialing my emergency contact."Jojo, a stranger is trying to break down my door. I'm so scared."The moment I called the police, my composure completely fell apart..My voice shook with fear, and I spoke through tears.The person on the other end paused before replying quickly."Lock yo

"Want to have dinner together tonight?"Stephen sent me a message.He also sent me a location pin. The restaurant was right beside my office."Sure. See you then!"The restaurant was so expensive it made my jaw drop. I heard that it cost at least $500 per person.Everyone coming and going was dressed formally. I looked down at my T-shirt and jeans and fell into deep thought.A child came running through the lobby.I frowned. Which family did this little brat belong to?Sure enough, the child accidentally knocked over a drinks table the next second.The glasses of alcohol on top wobbled dangerously, about to spill.I quickly sidestepped out of the way.Thank goodness I was wearing jeans. They made it so easy to move."Ah!" The woman behind me let out a sharp scream.The champagne that had nearly spilled all over me landed on the young woman behind me instead. A small stain spread across her figure-hugging skirt."Stop!" the woman called after me. "You got my skirt dirty an

I asked curiously, "How do you know?""Everyone's been saying that she's a perfect match for Mr. Farr. They say she's the granddaughter of his grandfather's longtime friend."Nina? When had she become Stephen's fiancée?Nina arrived in perfectly applied makeup and a sexy professional outfit.She gave everyone a sweet smile. "Please take good care of me."Nina was certain that I hadn't made my relationship with Stephen public. Or perhaps she simply didn't care. She had come here just to provoke me.Anyone who saw a childhood friend from an equally prestigious family would assume that she was Stephen's fiancée.Stephen happened to be away, so no one was there to expose her charade.After Nina arrived, everyone became even more convinced that she was Stephen's fiancée."Nina, are you and Mr. Farr really discussing marriage?"Nina didn't answer. She only gave a shy smile, making no effort to hide the love in her eyes and leaving everyone to imagine the rest."Nina, were you and M

My tears stopped instantly. "What do you mean?"Stephen sighed. "Do you remember the transfer student at your school during your sophomore year? The one who used a wheelchair?""How did you..." I stopped. He knew?During my sophomore year, a transfer student joined our class. He used a wheelchair and rarely spoke. He only stared at the birds outside the window.His hair was slightly long and fell over his eyebrows. His entire presence seemed gloomy and defeated, as though he had lost all hope for the future.Some classmates said he was once a gifted prodigy. He had been in a terrible car accident after a ballroom dancing competition. He barely survived, and his lower body was almost completely paralyzed. There was little hope that he would ever make a full recovery.Someone who had always been so proud and competitive had suffered such a devastating blow.It must have been unbearably cruel for him."That boy was you?"He nodded.When Stephen transferred to the school, h
