When I realised this, I had a great idea all of a sudden.
“If you want me to forgive you, get down on your knees and bang your head on the ground a few times. If I’m in a good mood, I might even let you have some money!”
Max’s eyes lit up right away when he heard I might give him money.
He started hitting his head against the ground over and over again. He hit harder when he saw that I wasn’t reacting.
He slapped his own face while he was bowing. “I was wrong! I’m so sorry, my lady! Please forgive this nobody and let me live!”
“I promise to worship you from now on.” If you say east, I won’t go west. I’ll be the best dog you could ever have!”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I stepped on his hand after hearing what he said.
“Are you my obedient dog?” Then come and clean my shoes!”
Max only thought about it for a second before eagerly bending down to lick my designer heels.
I looked at him in disgust. What a good dog he was.
I couldn’t wait to see how he would react when he found out that everyone in the country was watching his embarrassing show.
I pulled out my phone and opened my friend’s live stream. “Come here, good dog.” You’re famous now!”
Max was shocked to see that the livestream had more than a hundred thousand viewers. His face went pale right away.
“Are you setting me up, Elena? You’ve been streaming live without my knowledge?”
Max stood up angrily and raised his fist like he was going to hit me.
I wasn’t scared of him this time. I pointed to the new security camera that had been put up at the door.
“I haven’t even gotten back at you for beating me last time. Are you trying to get locked up?
“And I’m setting you up? Did I make you kneel and bow to me?”
I looked at him with disgust, walked past him, and threw away my high heels that he had licked. I put on the flats I wore while driving instead.
I watched through the video doorbell as Max yelled angry insults and then left in a huff after I closed the door. When I got back, Vivian came out to say hello. Her eyes filled with disgust when she saw Max.
“Why don’t you just call the cops and let them deal with him? It’s gross that we have to deal with someone like him!”
I put my arm around her to calm her down. “Mom, jail would be too easy for him. I’ll take care of him myself after I’m done having fun.”
Max was trending on social media the next day. People with sharp eyes on the internet started looking into his past and found out that he had broken up with me three years ago.
Everyone quickly agreed with me, even though I did pay for a lot of fake comments to help it along.
Everyone learnt that Max had only come back to the country to raise money because he couldn’t get there anymore. I told them to do so.
The Miller family used to run a big business, but after Max broke up with me, Ryan got back at them, and they haven’t been seen in the business world since.
Max’s company overseas quickly went bankrupt when it ran out of money.
He and Clara could only live by selling their expensive things.
I came across him while he was trying to sell his Hublot Big Bang watch.
Max stepped back a few steps slowly when he saw me, as if he were trying to get away from me.
I pointed to the bruises on my face that were still there and looked at the watch he was holding.
“I still haven’t gotten even with you for beating me. That’s a nice watch. I’ll take it as payment for my medical bills.”
