557 Words
“ Fine. Since you already know the truth, let's stop wasting each other's time ” Alex said with a smug, self satisfied smile playing at his lips.
“ Let's break up, Lynette ” His voice came out unbothered, almost careless, as if it means nothing to him
“ But don't worry,” He said “ I'm not that heartless. I will compensate you with one million for the time you wasted on me.” He smiled arrogantly with an air of superiority as if he was doing Lynette a favor.
Hah…Fool. You walked right into my trap, Lynette thought with a sneer.
Alex felt smug, his gaze dripping with arrogance as he looked at Lynette as though she was beneath him unworthy of even a second of his attention.
He was certain the compensation would make Lynette cling to him in gratitude since she hardly earn such amount.
Little did he know, he had just fallen straight into her trap.
“ You know…, what will happen if your reputation were at stake?“ Lynette insinuated slyly .
They both stared at Lynette with a stunned expression, unable to grasp what she meant.
What does compensation has to do with reputation, they thought.
“ Get straight to the point Lynette,” Alex demanded with an irritated tone, “ What do you mean?”
“6 million AUR.”
Huh…
“ I want a compensation of 6 million Aurelion.”
Gasp!
“ Are you insane?,” Alex gritted his teeth in anger.“6 million AUR !, why not go rob a bank.”
“What? You wouldn't do it ?” She mocked, lifting her phone elegantly with a taunting wave , as if she might upload their lewd videos at any moment.
“ Should I?”
The moment they saw her acting as though she was about to upload the video, panic struck them and they shouted in unison.
“ NO!!”
“ Fine, i will do the transaction but on one condition,” Alex stared at Lynette with deep hatred.
“ Go on.”
“ You must erase every incriminating videos you have of us– right now, all of them ”
“ Sure, money first before any other thing ”
Ding!
Checking her phone to confirm, Lynette saw six million. Her smile widened in joy.
In a good mood, she fulfilled the condition of deleting their incriminating videos without hesitation.
“ There, Done.”
“ Since it's done, get loss.” Alex clenched his fist inorder to control his anger from lashing out.“ Make sure you don't come begging me to take you back or help you?”
Tsk, tsk…
Lynette turned to walk out of the door and out of his life without any lingering feelings.
On getting to the door, Lynette paused, looked over her shoulder, and said to Alex ,“It's me, Lynette Carter that is breaking up with you, Alex Hale.”
“ Get that straight .”
“You're not even worth my spec.”
Lynette looked at the two, sneering with a cold, condescending smile.
“ You both deserve each other. After all, that's exactly how a scumbag and a b***h relate.” With that said, Lynette walked out of the house without hesitation.
Her posture radiating elegance, graceful and unpretentious as if nothing can outshine her.
