Patrick always avoided commitment, insisting they needed more time before moving in together or getting engaged. But when she inherited a fully paid-off apartment, he proposed the very same night. It was then she realized—he was after the apartment, not her. For years, she had watched her friends build relationships while she felt left behind. But when Patrick came into her life, she thought things would finally be different. Over time, however, his lack of effort and refusal to discuss commitment raised red flags. His sudden proposal after her inheritance confirmed her suspicions: he wanted the apartment, not her.

For weeks, Patrick acted like the perfect fiancé, but she knew he was only biding his time until the apartment was hers. One day, she caught him and his mother measuring the living room for new furniture. She confronted them, revealing that she had already sold the apartment, and the money was in her account. Patrick was left speechless, realizing he had lost his chance.She told him to leave, moved to a new city, and started fresh. Patrick begged for another chance, but she blocked him. She was finally free, living the life she deserved.
