A Billion Dollar Exchange

229 Did you ever love me?

\'\'Miss Xin Yong, this is an official settlement. After being with a woman, I settle her generously. You\'ve been with me for a very long time, so yours is the best so far. Hurry and sign the document, I have things to attend to.\'\'

Jin Yue explained curtly. He picked up the document and opened to the page which required her signature, pushing it towards her, he handed her the pen.

\'\'Here \'\'

Xin Yong had been staring at Jin Yue, her eyes unmoving. She could not explain whether it was because she felt he was joking or that she felt she was in a nightmare that had sworn to not let her wake up.

\'\'Stop joking \'\'

Her voice was shaky and she immediately stepped away from the table, her breathing uneven.

\'\'Do I look like a joke to you?\'\'

Jin Yue retorted angrily, a glare emitting from his eyes. As he spoke, he saw those pictures flash through his eyes. He remembered how she blushed as that man spoke to her tenderly and he nearly lost it.

Why was she acting all hurt, wasn\'t she happy that he was letting her go?

She was cheating on him and she had the guts to keep acting even to this point!.

Jin Yue wanted to scream but he immediately restrained himself.

\'\'Miss Xin Yong, please don\'t waste any more of my precious time, sign this document and get it over with!\'\'

Xin Yong felt a thunder bolt of pain pass through her body. Reality slowly dawned on her.

All these while they\'ve been together, he had been playing her?

The engagement, his constant confessions were all a joke?

She was just another girl he wanted to play with?

Now he was tired of her, he was sending her off?

\'\'Jin Yue can you stop this, if there\'s anything wrong, we can talk…\'\'

If there was anything she could not bring herself to believe, it was the fact that Jin Yue had never loved her.

That all the times they spent together meant nothing to him.

That he was so wicked as to make her fall so deeply in love with him, only for him to end it as though it was just another day.

That was one thing she would never believe.

\'\'Miss Xin Yong, it seems you have all the time in your hands, don\'t worry, you can take all the time in the world, but please I don\'t want to see you or anything that belongs to you in my home by the time I return.\'\'

Jin Yue spat irritably and stood up from the sofa, before walking to his room and shutting the door behind him again.

Xin Yong who was still staring at the spot he just occupied slowly fell to the floor. Her face grew pale and her lips dried. Her eyes which had refused to cry suddenly became a leaking tap.

She had been a fling all these while? He had never loved her?

Xin Yong felt an excruciating pain in her chest that she nearly fainted. The document on the table kept reminding her that she was not dreaming, that the man she had loved with every fiber in her, the man she had given her all, the man who had taken away her firsts had never loved her.

Never…

Xin Yong sat on the floor like a statute, staring into space. She really couldn\'t understand what kept her sane, because at that moment her heart was crushed.

Her mom warned her to be careful, why was she so stupid? How did she ever think that a CEO would fall in love with an ordinary girl like her?

Xin Yong suddenly started laughing; she laughed and cried till her tear glands dried up.

After hours of crying, Xin Yong slowly pulled herself up from the ground. As she made to walk, the tightly shut door swung open and a fully dressed Jin Yue stepped out.

Jin Yue did not spare her a glance; he just strode towards the front door.

When he reached it, he stopped in his tracks, without looking back, he spoke.

\'\'Like I said earlier, I don\'t want to see you when I return, else I would have no other choice than to throw you out myself…\'\'

As Jin Yue made to walk away, Xin Yong called.

\'\'Jin Yue, please wait.\'\'

Jin Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks, he badly wanted to look back but at the end he decided against it.

\'\'Speak, I\'m in a hurry.\'\'

\'\'Jin Yue, throughout the time we spent together, did you ever, even for a split second, love me?\'\'

Jin Yue froze when he heard her question.

Did he love her?

From the moment he set his eyes on her, he had loved her. She had stolen his heart away that even right now, he wanted to kneel and beg her to stay with him. But he wouldn\'t tell her that.

If he wanted her to stop feeling guilty, he would not tell her. She should hate him so she would be happy with the one she loved.
