I had pursued this man for a decade, pouring my heart into our relationship. Now, he was ready to sacrifice everything for Betty, while I meant nothing to him.
The stark contrast between being cherished and being disregarded was painfully clear.
Suddenly, Betty grabbed the phone. Her eyes, red and swollen from crying, gazed at me through the screen.
"Angela, please return the money Clyde invested in you over the years," she begged. "Look at his current state—he's in such a dire situation. I take full responsibility for this and sincerely ask for your forgiveness."
She then set the phone down and bowed deeply, expressing her remorse.
I noticed her protruding belly and quickly spoke up.
"There's no need to apologize," I stated firmly. "I'll send the money to Clyde right away, and then I'll block him permanently. I have no regrets about what I've given him in the past, nor do I want anything back."
