It wasn't Scarlett at the door, but a delivery driver.
"Hello, Mr. Davies, your package."
I didn't remember buying anything.
As the delivery driver handed over the package, I saw it was an exquisite necklace.
Could it be a gift from Scarlett?
But something still felt off.
The next second, a SnapChat message from Scarlett popped up.
"Leo, the necklace I bought for Mochi arrived. Remember to sign for it."
The delivery driver smiled, handing me the delivery slip.
"Cash on delivery, that'll be 30,000 dollars."
"30,000?!"
Scarlett bought something so expensive for *that dog*?! And she used *my* money to pay for it?!
Keep in mind, in our three years of dating, the most expensive gift she ever gave me was less than two hundred bucks.
The thought made my stomach churn with humiliation.
I shoved the package back into the delivery driver's hands.
"Forget it. I don't want it."
With that, I grabbed Mochi by his leg and carried him off to be neutered.
I stared at the unconscious Mochi, a bitter, metallic taste flooding my mouth. Disgust, fury, suppressed rage… all tore at my chest, finally condensing into a soft, chilling laugh.
"Caleb,"
I whispered,
"This time, it's your turn to taste what it’s like to lose your manhood."
Once the surgery was successful, this "first love" would be utterly useless, and Scarlett's obsession would finally be broken.
The vets at the animal hospital were incredibly efficient. By the time I arrived, the surgery was already arranged.
Outside the operating room, the vet handed me the consent form.
Without hesitation, I signed "Scarlett Davies" and even thoughtfully added a note:
"Please make sure it's completely, irrevocably done. Wouldn't want any... 'relapses.'"
Just then, Mochi woke up.
Seeing the vet preparing for the neutering surgery, he instantly peed himself in terror.
I gave a cold smile.
"Caleb, you finally woke up, huh?"
Hearing me call him by his real name, Mochi froze.
Now, only pure fear remained in his eyes.
"Woof… woof…"
He tried to struggle, but against the professional vet, his resistance was useless.
The vet ignored Mochi's struggles, picking him up and heading towards the operating table.
And that's when my phone rang.
It was Scarlett.
The moment I answered, Scarlett's furious shouts erupted from the other end.
"Leo! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"I bought a necklace for Mochi! Did I say you could return it?!"
I gave a cold laugh.
"Scarlett, why should *I* pay for a necklace you bought for a dog?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end.
"Leo, you're getting bolder by the day."
"I'm coming home now. You'd better explain yourself face-to-face!"
But when she opened the apartment door, Scarlett was speechless.
"Leo, where did you take Mochi?"
I gave a faint smile.
"Mochi likes to pee everywhere. Since you won't control him, I had no choice but to bring him in for neutering."
"He's already in surgery now…"
