The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Over the years, Melody endured every emotional and physical abuse at her home. She had always done her best to show understanding and tolerance, but her family's insatiable greed only grew. Thus, Melody could not bear another day of such a life.
She glanced at Wendy but ignored her, focusing instead on their biased, emotionally distant parents. "Alright, just tell me how much do you want. I'll pay you back every penny with interest for your so-called nurturance!"
Helen and Ethan looked at each other before Helen held up three fingers. "If you can come up with three million dollars, I'll consider things even between us. And you have my word we won't bother you with family matters anymore."
'Three million dollars? What a greedy bunch of b*stards!' thought Melody.
Melody had lived a modest life since childhood. She could not possibly have spent three million dollars of her parents' money.
Nonetheless, giving them the three million dollars seemed to be her only way out. However, she could not possibly come up with three million dollars on her own. She had no choice but to borrow the money from a certain someone.
"Fine, just give me a moment."
After leaving the living room, Melody returned to the small room she used to live in and called Lucas.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just when she was about to lose hope, the call went through.
Lucas' indifferent voice came through the phone. "What's up?"
Melody hesitated before speaking, "Um... Lucas, could you lend me three million dollars?"
It was the best solution Melody could come up with. Besides this, she had no idea how else to come up with the three million dollars.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. "I see your desire for money seems to be growing. What do you need three million dollars for?"
Melody persistently said that she was not someone who cared about money, yet there she was asking for three million dollars as if it was just chump change. She had never felt so humiliated at having to go back on her own words.
"No, Lucas. I have an urgent need for the money right now. I'll pay you back as soon as possible," said Melody uneasily.
