Female NovelChapter 2895 A long stream of smoke curled from his lips as he replied with chilling calm, “I don't care about what you feel. If you feel being with me was a loss, I can compensate.” He took a drag on his cigarette, pulling out his checkbook.
Leaning it against the wall, he glanced at her sideways. “Would ten million suffice? If not, let's say thirty million, or fifty.” He ultimately scribbled down eighty million, tore the check, and flung it at her.
Melissa stood frozen, her eyes blinking in disbelief. “So, no matter what I say, you just don't want me back anymore?” “Yes,” Marcus confirmed unyieldingly. “So stop bothering me. I might soon have a wife. Your persistence could complicate things for me.” His words were harsh, reflecting a desire to sever all ties with her.

His tone softened as he added, “We're not right for each other. You were right. We're in different worlds. It shouldn't have gone this far. I pushed it. So, take this 8 million as compensation. Please, Melissa, don't come back. Don't cause trouble for me, and don't put yourself through this again.” Gently, he placed the check in her hand.
“This is goodbye.” With that, he eased her hand away, opened the door, and disappeared inside.
Melissa remained at the door, immobile until her legs grew numb.
Slowly, she squatted, clutching her aching stomach, yet refusing to seek medical help.
Her heart ached more than her body.
