Inside the jacket
When Mrs. Campbell handed me a $5 million check to leave Ryan, I didn't hesitate for a second.
I had spent five years by Ryan's side, giving him the best years of my youth without any official status. This $5 million didn't seem like much in comparison.
The news spread quickly to Ryan's ears. I later heard that he had even skipped his most important meeting to rush over that day.
When Ryan arrived at the apartment he had bought for me, I was in the middle of packing my things.
"What do you think you're doing?" Ryan's face was as dark as a thundercloud.
