I was deeply disappointed In him.

the city.
I was drawn to his sincerity and simplicity, and that was why I started dating him.
He told me he wanted to start his own business, and I supported him wholeheartedly.
When he said he didn’t have enough funds for his venture, I used my savings to help him.

connections on his behalf.
I even ruined my own stomach just to help him land deals.
Later, he said his business was on track and suggested I quit my job and stay home to take care of the family.
I agreed, giving up my job that paid thirty thousand dollars a month to look after our son.
Then, one day, he came home looking defeated, crying and telling me the business had
failed and all our money was gone.
I comforted him over and over, telling him I would always be there for him.
Not long after, he told me he found a job paying three thousand dollars a month and that
things were tight financially.
He told me to go back to work, and I agreed without hesitation.
I found a new job near home, earning five thousand dollars a month so I could better care for
the family.
Now, I realized that when he said the business had failed, he was lying, and that was when the
started seeing Brenda.
He hadn’t lost his job; he just didn’t want to spend money on the family anymore.
“Curran, stop talking.
If you don’t want to give me the money, I won’t hesitate to expose your affair.
By then, your company might not survive!”
Even though Curran was reluctant, he had no choice but to transfer the money to me.
After all, if his company collapsed, he’d be buried in debt.

With the remaining funds, I boarded a plane and started traveling the world.

Making him miserable made me feel better.
At the same time, someone exposed the safety issues with his company’s products on The whistleblower claimed that Curran’s company had produced many poorly made i
To deal with this, Curran was overwhelmed with stress.
That night, after a long period of no contact, Curran suddenly called me.
I was in a good mood, so I answered.

“Home? Curran, have you forgotten? We’re divorced.”
He was stunned into silence, and after a long pause, I hung up and blocked his number But, to my surprise, he called again.
“Curran, what do you want?” I asked, annoyed.
“Alvin says he misses you….” he began.
