"But you need to pay me back for all the living expenses and classes I covered while you were studying for the exam."
His face fell at my request.
How could he possibly come up with that money? If he had any, he wouldn't be living off me.
Grant, ever the chameleon, switched tactics and tried to play the sympathy card.
"Megan, I love you! I really don't want to marry someone else. We've been through so much together; how could I just throw that away?"
Suddenly, he dropped to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes, looking genuinely pitiful.
I said, "I only spent that money on you because I thought you were my future husband, but now you're making me feel like you've betrayed me. Even if this goes to court, I'm in the right here. You're cozying up to a wealthy family, yet you can't pay me back? Don't push me to make this a public spectacle; it won't end well for either of us."
"Megan, have you no shame?"
Just then, the door swung open, and Keira stormed in, ready to unleash a tirade on me.
Keira wasted no time jumping into the fray.
Her mouth was like a runaway train, spewing out insults and accusations.
