Chapter 183
"Yo, are you sure you want to sell this Playstation 5? It looks brand new."2
"Yes, I bought it about two months ago. I need quick cash, so there's nothing else I can do," Matt replied.
He was currently meeting the potential buyer of his two-month old Playstation 5. He didn't want to sell it at first since he loved playing on it, but he was in a difficult situation right now, and since he couldn't and didn't want to find a job, then selling his stuff was the only thing he could do to get money.
It had been a month and a half since the last time he got news from Erin.
Erin told him the last time that she would be on a long and steamy journey with her new man, who would give her all the money she needed.
Matt didn't care who she was sleeping with as long as she would send him a lot of money in exchange for him allowing her to sleep around.
To think about it again, it sounded more like prostitution, but Erin was willing to do it anyway.
Unfortunately, Matt hadn't heard anything from Erin for a while and was running out of money.
Kate had somehow blocked his card again a month ago. She already blocked his number, and she simply ignored him.
She didn't come and demand this apartment even though it was under her name, and she was the one who fully purchased it.
She simply left him to rot in this apartment without money.
"So, how much are you willing to sell this? Since it's two months old, I can pay 300 bucks," the potential buyer offered.
"Bro, please make it 400 at least, I'm in a dire need of cash," Matt begged. He was so hungry because he had been eating cheap meals these days. Since he lost his main source of income and couldn't cook at all, he was forced to eat instant food, which made him suffer for the past one and a half months.
"Hmm, fine, I will take it for 400," the buyer said. He handed the money to Matt and went out with a box of almost brand-new Playstation 5. It was a steal!
Matt sighed as he closed the door.
He looked at the 400 bucks in his hand, and his hand trembled, knowing he had so little money right now.
"Damn it, how come things went to this point? What did I do wrong?" Matt wondered. "I'm used to wasting at least five thousand a month with Kate's credit card, but now I can barely live with hundreds of bucks in my hand."
He didn't know how Kate could best Erin. He always thought that he had Kate under his thumb as long as Erin was around since that mega bitch could manipulate Kate to do their bidding.
In fact, it was the other reason why Matt decided to cheat on Kate.
Kate was infertile, and she was very obedient to what her little sister demanded. So if he cheated on Kate with her little sister, he could fuck a younger and fresher woman, get a baby from her, and used Kate's income so his life would be perfect.
A younger woman as his side chick.
A baby of his own.
And a cash cow that would continue making money for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, his plan crashed and burned when Kate walked away from their lives as if she was serious about cutting contact with her husband and sister.
Matt walked back to the living room and looked around.
"Fuck, how many things had I sell anyway?" He asked himself. "I remember I still have plenty of stuff in the living room, but now…."
He stared at the empty rack in front of the sofa.
It used to have many of his game consoles, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, and he also had a PC to play other games.
He also had a 60-inch TV for his enjoyment, but he sold it all within a month because he was so fucking broke.
He refused to get a job.
"I'm goddamn handsome. Why would I work as a burger flipper? Even if I have to work in an office, I have to be at least the manager, or even better, the CEO," Matt murmured. He complained about so many bad things happening to him right now, and he blamed it all on Kate, who blocked the credit card again.
"Damn it, where is Erin anyway? Don't tell me that she dares to ditch me just like that after we had an agreement," Matt grumbled. He checked his phone and scrolled through his contact to find Erin's number
He tried to call her again, but she did not answer as usual. He had been calling her for at least a week straight to no avail.
Maybe Erin had also blocked him after realizing she didn't want to sleep with him anymore.
"Fucking bitch! How dare she leave me when I need money the most?! She's just as ungrateful and bitchy as her sister!" Matt threw all kinds of curses at Erin and Kate, but in the end, he stopped when his stomach began to make noises.
He was hungry, but when he checked the fridge, there was nothing but cola there. He also ran out of instant noodles, so he had to go to the nearest minimart to buy them.
"Tch, why do I have to suffer like this? Kate should've been grateful that I'm at least loyal to her after we got married!" Matt complained.
He grabbed his jacket and was about to leave the apartment when he got a sudden call from none other than his mother, Mary.
He knew Mary must want to ask for money because she had been wasting it all on her boy toy.
He wanted to reject the call but accidentally pressed the green button.
"Oh crap!"
And the call was connected.
