Jamie forced herself to swallow the rising pain in her chest. If cutting Ben off completely was the only way to make him give up, then so be it.
A million dollars...
For Ben, whether as the alias "Jack Green" or as his true self, money had never been an issue. His mother had made sure he never lacked anything.
However, Jamie’s single remark, sharp and calculated, cut straight to the heart of their relationship. It reduced everything they had shared to something insignificant and transactional.
Ben’s expression turned grim, his dark eyes filled with anguish and anger. “Jamie, if you needed money, you could’ve just asked me. Winning me over would’ve gotten you more than a million. Was it really worth it?”
There was a deep sadness in his voice, almost as if he was pleading for her to lie to him, just to make him feel wanted.
Jamie could feel the weight of his words, the memories of his kindness clawing at her heart. She opened her mouth to respond, but before she could say a word, the door burst open with a loud crash.
Standing in the doorway was Ben’s mother, radiating authority and hostility. Jamie knew immediately that this wasn’t a friendly visit.
Mrs. Lucas didn’t bother stepping further into the room. She stayed by the door, her commanding voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “Jamie, I paid you a million to leave my son before, and I didn’t intend for it to be temporary. But since you’re here again, let’s put a price on it. Name your figure.”
Ben’s mother’s intentions were clear. She wanted to obliterate any lingering hope Ben might have for Jamie by forcing Jamie to act like she saw him as nothing but a bargaining chip.
