> この前、大嫌いと言ってしまったのに*。

Translated as:

> Even though I told him that I hate him so much.

I understand most of it except for しまった。Looks like a verb in past form, しまる?
閉まる? That doesn't seem to make sense.

What does と言ってしまった　mean?
I believe it's a past form of しまう. In this case it adds a sense of regret to
the phrase. ("He sent me a present... And I told him that I hate him before...
That was so wrong of me!") Here is the first article on the topic that popped
up in Google: [Using ~てしまう to express regret or completion of
something](http://languagesareweird.blogspot.ru/2011/10/using-to-express-
regret-or-completion.html).
