Ten Million And Goodbye

Synopsis

Alexander Reed had just fought with his first love and broken up with her, threatening to take his own life. I showed up in front of him, looking strikingly like her, and became his kept woman. He adored me, spoiled me, lavished every good thing he had on me. But then, his first love returned to town. I begged him, my voice trembling, tears staining my cheeks. "Alex, please don't leave me." He threw a wad of cash in my face, gave a light, almost mocking laugh, and pushed my hand aside. "Come on, be good," he scoffed. "We're just having some fun." As he turned away, I stuffed the cash into my pocket, sat down, and opened my laptop, typing up my report: [Patient's emotions are stable. Manic-depressive disorder is in remission. Treatment concluded.] I packed up my things, grabbed the ten million his mother had given me, and prepared to disappear.
