Hi! So I have a ghostwriting gig and I have a client who asked me to write a 50k-word book. We have 6 milestones. We are already in 5th milestone and that's when he said, he doesn't like it. (So we have written 40k words at that time. I told him that we can just cancel the 5th milestone so he can find a new writer to finish it. He said, that if I cancel the order, I should pay for everything, from the 1st to the 5th milestone. The problem is, this is like a business of mine so I have writers under me. I've already paid the writer because the previous milestones were APPROVED. So now, I can't give back the money. So he asked me to write an entirely new manuscript. Which I did. I've written 30k words and then he said again, he doesn't like it. Now, he's asking me to write an outline this time. I feel like I am being scammed and being exploited. What should I do? If I click cancel the order, I think he will not accept my request. And he might give me bad reviews. Can I complain or tell Fiverr about it? The worst part is the client is a Fiverr Business. Help me! 

Client wants me to pay the milestones he already approved
