I M refusing to pay for this pain and then walk away without the lesson.

Wisdom

The pain is going to cost you either way. The only choice is whether you also collect what it came to teach. To suffer and learn nothing is to pay full price for a lesson and leave it sitting on the counter. Do not let the bill be for nothing.
