It sounds like you did the work before the client offered you an official contract, is that true? If so, you won't get any money unless he decides to hire you and pay you; it's not possible to negotiate with someone if you've already delivered the work.
If, however, this was part of a larger project and the client wants you to do more work, you can negotiate whatever price is acceptable to you. But do not accept the contract and hope that he'll agree to pay you more afterwards - that would be a huge mistake. If you and the client can't come to an agreement, then you should turn down the project and look for other clients.

I'm afraid I can't advise you there, since I don't know what that means. But you shouldn't do anything out of malice or revenge.
The one thing that you CAN do is to report the client for asking for free work, and then don't make the mistake of working for free ever again.

Amandeep:
If a client hasn't even hired you, then you owe that client absolutely nothing.
You certainly don't owe that client any of your time or thoughts.
I can assure you that I don't think about a PROSPECTIVE client who talked to me weeks ago.
ALSO:
If a freelancer actually has been hired, but the contract has been paused by the freelancer, then I don't think about the contract at all.
You need to forget about this client completely. If there comes a time in the future when the client reaches out to you, then don't do ANYTHING for him until he hires you with an official Upwork contract.
