Brit grabs next to mega profit of 11,750 euros per month: “Instead of sharing everything, she dumped me” | Bizarre

Stevens was bursting with good intentions. He let Laura live in his house in Hucknal for free after they met through a mutual friend in 2018. “She then asked how much rent she had to pay, but we were a couple, weren’t we? So I didn’t ask for a cent.”

“Laura instead suggested betting around $30 a week on gambling games. And if we won, we would eat the money together. That agreement was never put on paper, but I didn’t think it was necessary at the time. Who would have thought that we would ever really win?”

Stevens and Hoyle appeared in the press after their mega profit with a broad smile. Both names were on the check that was handed out. All for show, it turns out. “The outside world thought I had won too. But hey, that was the least of my worries. Laura quit her job and we bought a Porsche Cayenne. Those were exciting times.”

Laura then also gave up part of her money. “She gave me £1,000 a month (1,180 euros) and encouraged me to get my degree in mechanical engineering. She would then pay the costs for my studies. We made wild plans for the future, there seemed to be nothing in the air.”

Stevens wanted to go one step further and thought about getting married. “We had both been married before, but she was willing to take that step again. Her parents were thrilled when I asked for her hand. But just when I was about to propose, we got into an argument.”

Stevens felt doubt in Laura. “The pennies had become part of the problem. Tensions arose every time that subject came up. I was often asked by outsiders why I continued to work for aircraft engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce. Because I liked to have a purpose in my life, my answer would be. But there was more to it. I didn’t feel confident enough with Laura to just give up my job. The more time passed, the more I felt her slip away.”

The final blow came after they attended a friend’s wedding together in June. “She said flatly that she didn’t want to be with me anymore. Our relationship was on the decline, but I didn’t see this coming. I tried to put the pieces together, but unfortunately in vain… The sudden wealth had made her snobbish and she felt strong enough to throw everything she had overboard.”

Laura moved into the new five-bedroom house in Nottingham, where they should normally have moved in together. “She took a lot of our common property and now she’s claiming custody of our two dogs. She doesn’t want to share any more of her fortune. That £1,000 a month was supposedly rent money. Now that she no longer lives with me, she no longer owes me anything, is her reasoning.”

Stevens does not want to give up the fight completely just yet. “I want my 10 percent. If she keeps giving £1,000 a month, she’ll never hear from me again. Promise!” Laura could not be reached for comment, writes ‘The Sun’.
