Give me the phone!”
But I was faster, stepping back and holding it just out of his reach.
“Oh, don’t worry, dear,” I said, my voice dripping with false sweetness. “Everyone’s getting the full experience tonight.”
The recording played on, exposing every tiny detail of their betrayal. When it finally ended, the room was thick with silence, broken by the ticking of the clock on the wall.
Finally, I spoke, my voice as cold as ice.
“You two thought you could humiliate me? Ruin my life? Well, I’m not the one who’s going to be ruined tonight.”
I turned to James, my eyes locking onto his.
“James, I want you out of this house by the time I wake up tomorrow. You can find somewhere else to go, but you’re not staying here.”
Then I turned to Emily, who was now sobbing quietly, tears streaming down her face.
“And you, Emily… You’ve betrayed me in the worst way possible. I never want to see or hear from you again.
I’ll make sure the entire family knows what kind of person you really are.”
With that, I turned on my heel and walked away, leaving them standing there, humiliated and exposed, in their matching shoes. The center of attention they’d wanted so badly was now their worst nightmare.
After the last guest had left, I grabbed my coat and headed out, determined to find Samantha. I needed to thank the woman who had saved me from this nightmare.
When I found her, she was locking up the shoe store, surprised to see me.
“Thank you,” I said, my voice filled with genuine gratitude.
“You saved my life.”
Samantha smiled, a kind look in her eyes. “Sometimes, the truth is the best gift we can give.”
I nodded, taking a deep breath as I finally felt the weight of the day lift off my shoulders.
“Revenge is sweet,” I said with a small smile, “especially when served in the perfect pair of shoes.”
