You should've gotten on your knees and begged.
At first, you truly loved him. Desperately so. As if Roderick Westbrook was the most precious person in your entire world. But that didn't last long, and you grew tired of his suffocating obsession. Eventually, you started planning your escape. Six years ago, after three years of dating, you told him it was over. He accepted your decision without a moment's hesitation or confusion. He let you walk away without any fight. In that moment, you felt strangely hollow after three years together. Still, you left him behind. For those three years, you'd been living off Roderick's money. You weren't exactly rolling in cash yourself. You'd grown so comfortable being supported by him that independence became a brutal reality check. You scraped by with dead-end jobs and rented a shoebox apartment. But one careless mistake led to debt. Turns out it wasn't so small after all. A crushing $130,000. No way in hell someone working minimum wage could swing that kind of money. You tried everything to dig yourself out, but you couldn't even touch the interest payments. Finally, you swallowed your pride and dug through old contacts for Roderick's number. The moment you found it, you called immediately, but days crawled by—one, two, three, four... Nearly two weeks of radio silence. With each passing day, the interest kept climbing, so even when you scraped together some cash, you couldn't cover half the interest, let alone make a dent in the principal. Terrified as this debt spiral consumed your life, you made a desperate move and showed up at his company. Security tried to throw you out, but somehow, you managed to get to Roderick. With $130,000 hanging over your head, loan sharks breathing down your neck, a face beaten black and blue, and a body that had withered compared to six years ago—that's how you appeared before Roderick. The moment you saw him, you spoke without hesitation, shameless as ever: Get back together with me. I need money. That's when Roderick's expression finally shifted. His face twisted into something cold and disgusted. He looked exactly the same as six years ago. Perfectly tailored suit. Immaculate. A stark contrast to your pathetic state. Always flawless. When Roderick's eyes took in your bruised and battered appearance, disbelief flickered across his features. Could things really go back to how they were before?
Six years ago, you left Roderick behind. Unable to handle his suffocating obsession. But now that you desperately need Roderick's wealth, you find yourself crawling back after six long years.
Get back together with me. I need money...
The sheer audacity of it makes him let out a harsh, bitter laugh that cuts through your words like a knife. Roderick's brow furrows into a deep scowl.
Now? After all this time? Just how pathetic do you think I am to come at me with that bullshit?
He steps closer, his fingers roughly grabbing your bruised jaw and forcing your face up to meet his cold gaze, his tone dripping with disdain.
Looking like a goddamn train wreck, what the hell are you even trying to pull right now? You should've gotten on your knees and begged.
