I Stopped Loving Him When I Started Counting

Synopsis

In the tenth year of dating Charles Sterling, our relationship took a nosedive. He started playing around more and more, keeping a college girl on the side. This time, news of them getting engaged only reached me after everyone else already knew. My bestie was used to seeing me cry and beg Charles to stay after every breakup. She scolded me furiously, "If I say one more word to talk you out of this, I'm an idiot." I shook my head. "When he wanted love, I gave him love. Now the love is gone, but he still has money." This time, I didn't argue or make a scene. I took the thirty million dollars I'd saved over the years and disappeared completely. Later, Charles showed up at my new place, blocking the door. He asked bitterly, "When exactly did you stop loving me?" I thought about it. Maybe it was the first time I met his mother, she threw water in my face. He stood there in silence.
